If lower prices don't get you to buy a Nintendo 3DS, perhaps a new color will. At least that's what Nintendo is hoping, so they just announced a third color option for the handheld.

Soon you will be able to get your sweaty hands on a Flame Red version of the 3DS. The color option will start selling on September 9, the same day as the new "Star Fox 64" 3D game.

"Nintendo 3DS is poised to be on fire for the holidays, with its new suggested retail price, great games and our new Flame Red color," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "With major upcoming releases in the Star Fox, Pokémon and Mario series, in addition to downloadable offerings from Nintendo eShop, Nintendo Video and Netflix, the system offers new and fun experiences to owners on a daily basis."

Options are certainly nice, but if anything is going to get more people to buy a new 3DS, it's savings. After all, who doesn't love being cheap? Nintendo's new $169.99 price for the 3DS pricing will go into effect on August 12, 2011.
