Nintendo to Release Flame Red 3DS Console Next Month

The console, which launched earlier this summer in Japan as the Red Flare, will hit stores next month (alongside the new Star Fox 64 3D game), joining a 3DS lineup that already features Cosmo Black and Aqua Blue.

The company will also be releasing two new games this winter -- Super Mario 3D Land in November and Mario Kart 7 in December -- in the hopes of rectifying its disappointing Q2 earnings report with a strong holiday campaign. Only time will tell whether or not it has any effect on Nintendo's bottom line, but if you're interested in adding a touch of Santa-like cheer to your yuletide gaming season, you can grab a Flame Red console on September 9th, for $170.

    I was hoping for fire-engine red, not cherry. Oh well.

    Cool- I'm sure my kids will be wanting one. At least that's what I'll tell my wife so I can play Mario Kart 7. Yeah, that's the ticket...

    these things are still overpriced. i dont think releasing a new color will aspire anyone to buy one

    Prefer my consoles to be neutral colors and less distracting...

    I was hoping to get my 3DS in red back at launch. Ended getting the black one.
