Feels like the New 3DS was only just announced the other week, but it’s already available in Japan. Nintendo has been busy uploading videos like this one which details how to swap out the system’s face plates. Interestingly, the stylus can be used to pry them open. Neat design!

There are also a ton of videos showing the various 3DS themes.

This Yokai Watch theme is easily my favorite.
