An all-black 3DS XL might finally be making its way to North America – at least in Canada. GoNintendo has uncovered a flyer from outlet Real Canadian Superstore that suggests the new color (for North America) will be on sale this Friday, July 26.

The all-black XL has been a part of Nintendo’s various 3DS offerings for a while, but not outside of European bundles or Japan. A listing on Amazon UK also hints at a possible standalone release for this color. IGN has repeatedly asked Nintendo of America’s COO Reggie Fils-Aime about future color configurations of 3DS hardware. Fils-Aime noted some 3DS colors simply don’t sell well, while retail limitations in the United States prevent a similar constant color releases for the 3DS XL.

In a conversation with Games Industry International, the famous President of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, acknowledged the weakness of the Wii U’s current library of games while promising that that’s all set to change in the near future.

“What I would say about Wii U – and what

Mr. Iwata has said – is that the pace of launches has been slower than we hoped. But as we prepare for E3, the pace of launches for Wii U is going to dramatically increase,” Fils-Aime said.

Wii U has been mired with poor sales since a very promising launch in late 2012. Much of this is attributed not to Nintendo’s weakness as a brand – it is perhaps the strongest singular hardware brand in the industry – but due to a lack of compelling games.
