Monster Hunter 3DS Case (and now in XL, too!)

Good news on the MH3U 3DS cases: The guys at the Capcom Store heard everyone asking for a 3DS XL version and, after pulling some strings, have made it a thing for us fans! (isn't it awesome when game companies listen to their fans?) What's more, they're letting us join in on the decision making by letting us get to choose the color for the 3DS XL case! The choices they've given us include the same blue that will be on the 3DS version, a bright colorful green, or a gunmetal bronze. My personal favorite is the Bronze, as I think it'll look better on top of the 3DS XL colors than the other two. I'm not alone, either: After checking the poll, it seems bronze is trailing way ahead of the other two. But you can go vote for whatever color you want at this link, which will also give you all the details:

Please note that the poll on Capcom Unity closes on January 28th and 1pm PST, so you have until then to vote!

Red or bust. Not a fan of any of the colors really, but I'm getting one regardless cause Monster Hunter!

While I'd love a nice deep red case (even better if it could be candy or metallic coated. Oooohh...), I personally think the Bronze will work the best: The problem with the other two choices is that while they are nice and all, the preexisting 3DS XL colors are all already pretty bright and colorful themselves. (At least here in the US.) In that sense, it wouldn't make much sense to put another equally garish color on top of that and have the two clash. (eg. the bright blue on the red, same as the one in the picture they give: bright green on the blue, etc.). the bronze, meanwhile, will be a cooler and calmer choice to use, and would probably work pretty well with the preexisting colors. (I can imagine it looking pretty bit /scar/ ing on the red or black XL models, too.) Of course, there are some colors the bronze probably wouldn't look good on (ie. silver, pink, yellow, etc.), and those might benefit from a brighter case. (the silver, at least...)

I'm not sure if the regular 3DS one is also getting the new color (I assumed so), but since I have the limited edition Zelda 3DS any color should look nice. Also I agree about the metallic red. This was my all time favorite portable system (color included)

I freakin' loved my red DS lite. That is, until my brother stole it so he could trade pokemon with himself. And Yuri said that the 3DS case was put into production awhile ago, so it's too late to change it. It shall be light blue, regardless of whether or not the XL version will be.

Nope... The color choice is just for the XL at this time and there will be only one color chosen.

They were originally only going to do the regular 3DS but so many people pushed for the XL case that the Capcom store agreed to it.

Well here you go guys. The polls ended yesterday with victory to bronze. Now that it's been settled, it's now available on the Capcom Store for preorder. Here's a link to it:

For those who have a regular 3DS, here's it's own version. Just remember that, as it's already been stated here, it was put into production before the voting, so it's just the light blue.

[EDIT] Yuri has posted pictures of the official product in a blog just now. Here's the link:

Though the cases are now sold out... Those who did order the 3DSxl case should be getting a message from capcom today or next week that it is shipping. Just FYI
