Black 3DS XL

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.

Soul Calibur 2 HD Online Announced

During its San Diego Comic-Con panel today, NamcoBandai Games announced an HD, multiplayer-enabled remake of its classic fighting game, Soul Calibur II. It will release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall.

In the teaser trailer shown to attendees, Tekken’s Heihachi Mishima was shown — the presence of Nintendo’s Link, who guested in the Gamecube version, and McFarlane’s Spawn, who appeared in the Xbox version — were not present. Licensing expiration and platform competition could mean neither will be present.
