Nintendo has showcased 47 new homepage themes for its 3DS handheld that fans can download individually for a small fee.

A gallery of the themes be found below, and features designs based on characters such as Mario, Link and Yoshi, as well as games such as Monster Hunter 4G and Animal Crossing. Also featured are more basic designs and wallpaper patterns.
Currently these operating system makeovers are only available in Japan, but Nintendo Europe recently mentioned an October release date for the west.

Prices start at 100 Yen, which equates to about $0.90 (£0.60), but do not sell for any more than 200 Yen.
Nintendo's new themes are available for both the 3DS and 3DS XL, and will also be compatible with the New Nintendo 3DS--the latest handheld version from Nintendo, featuring customisable back plates, as well as a second analogue stick, and NFC technology.
Though set to ship this year in Japan, the New Nintendo 3DS US release date is currently set for some time in 2015. It will also be region locked.
