Pink Nintendo 3DS System to Make Sweethearts Swoon Starting February 10
REDMOND, Wash.--(January 30, in the year of our Lord
2012)-- Nintendo of America has a perfectly pink new
option for consumers looking to win over their loved ones this
Valentine’s Day. Starting Feb. 10, a Pearl Pink edition of the
Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system – previously available only as
part of a limited-edition bundle – will be available as a
stand-alone item at retailers nationwide, offered at a suggested
retail price of $169.99.
In addition to free Wi-Fi access at thousands of locations
across the nation, fun augmented-reality features and the
ability to enjoy games and videos in 3D without the need for
special glasses, Nintendo 3DS has a host of built-in social
features that can keep users connected to their special someone
throughout the year, plus a great lineup of games (sold
separately) that lovebirds can enjoy together:
With the system’s built-in camera, sweethearts can each use
their system to capture and share 3D photos and videos of
romantic outings this Valentine’s Day – and always.
The new Swapnote™ application, which is available for download
from the Nintendo eShop at no cost, lets users create and send
customized 3D love notes to their sweethearts from their
Nintendo 3DS.
The adorable virtual pets in the nintendogs™ + cats game can
bring out players’ sweet side and make great portable companions
on those lonely days when they’re apart.
Users can share creative passion with their beloved by playing
downloadable games such as Pushmo™ and Freakyforms™: Your
Creations, Alive!, both available from the Nintendo eShop, and
by exchanging QR codes to show off their heartfelt handiwork.
The multiplayer modes in the Mario Kart™ 7 game invite players
to get their hearts and their karts racing on a wild array of 3D
Mario-themed courses.
