New Patch Released for Mario Kart 7

Nintendo has released a new 3DS patch for Mario Kart 7. It fixes a major glitch that was found in Maka wuhu, where racers online skip half of the course and get a huge advantage over the other players. This has been a major problem with many players around the world right now for those who don't know how to do it. Because of that, All Mario Kart 7 owners must update before they can play online. It's now available in the Nintendo eShop.

Midnight Purple 3DS to be release in America next month? (Rumour)

Over a year ago, when it launched, the Nintendo 3DS only allowed two colours, Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black. However, just two colours didn't give enough variety to consumer, so the choices increased to five colours in the US market.  A few days ago, it appears there is another rumour spreading that another colour of the 3DS will become available for purchase.

What the Midnight Purple 3DS would look like

There are five colours of the 3DS available in the US market, and, compared to the other Nintendo DS's, that's a lot. According to a user in GameFAQs, in EB Games under the 3DS hardware list, there was another colour listed, Midnight Purple.
