A new 3DS color is in bloom. Nintendo will release a Midnight Purple 3DS on May 20 in North America, the company announced today. The new color will arrive alongside Mario Tennis Open, first original Mario Tennis title since 2005's Mario Tennis: Power Tour.

The 3DS color palette adds purple next month.

The 3DS color palette adds purple next month.

The Midnight Purple 3DS will retail for $170 in the United States, and will become the fifth available color option for the device. Existing 3DS colors include Cosmo Black, Aqua Blue, Flame Red, and Pearl Pink.([sic] *cough* Wasn't that supposed to be MYSTERY PINK? Nifty change, Nintendo)

The 3DS launched in North America in March 2011, and originally retailed for$250. Following disappointing launch sales, Nintendo implemented anaggressive price cut, shaving the system's price down to $170.

As for Mario Tennis Open, the game will make use of the 3DS' various features, allowing players to use the touch screen for shot selection and the system's gyroscopic sensor to tilt the camera and look around the court. The game will also feature local wireless play for up to four players and, for the first time in the series, online singles or doubles matches.

For more on Mario Tennis Open, check outGameSpot's previous coverage.

Another one... I'm still happy with Cosmo Black :D

I have the aqua blue 3DS and I'm happy with that until the white or orange 3DS gets released, then I will gladly re-buy it. Also, with a new color being released so close to E3, I will guess and say there won't be a 3DS redesign revealed at the show.

Please...NoE...Please bring this colour to Europe...

Already an owner of the Zelda Edition 3DS, but I'd buy another 3DS just for this colour I've been longing for.

It looks really nice, but I agree with what others have said the white one looks amazing. I probably wouldn't buy another one until a remodel comes out regardless of how long that takes to come out :P

My friend bought a blue DS lite and then he decided he wanted a red one. Since she remembered him the Gamestop employee was cool enough to do that for him, but that hardly seems typical.

I think I will continue to wait to get a 3DS till a Pokemon game releases for it. That or when they release an improved 3DS with a better battery.

As far as the colors, the only ones I like for the 3DS (including the new purple) are black and red. They need white.

You know what? It really depends on how nice the store employees are. Really. Although if you opened it, there's a less chance of that happening.

Ahh this one should've been a launch color! I remember seeing it along with an orange one a few months back at some showcase. The white one looks really nice too... Maybe if I decide to get a Japanese 3DS one day, I'll go for a different one, until then I'll have to stick to my cosmo black :P

It's not like the color affects gameplay, right? I mean it doesn't seem like a big deal for me, unless i got a very horrible color.

Well, if you plan on selling back your old 3DS to gamestop, i say don't do that, sell it on ebay. You might lose a lot of money just trying to sell your 3DS and get the purple one.

Same here, purple is my favourite colour.

I'm just going to end up getting it, that's if it ever comes to Europe. I don't like selling things either.

The purple one is super sleek, but I really want the white one. However, I'm not gonna buy another one as there's really no point. White would've been nice though.

You'd have to sell your current console for less and buy the new one for more. I just care about the games, so I think it's pointless to lose money just for a shell for the same thing.

I was waiting for either a green or purple and I would be willing to switch my current black for it. I guess Purple won. :)

Looks nice. Still happy with my aqua blue one though. Wonder when/if a green 3DS will be released...
