Better dust off your finest pair of shades, because this Flame Red Nintendo 3DS (http://www.engadget.com/tag/3ds/) is on its way to the States. The console, which launched earlier this summer in Japan as the Red Flare (http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/09/nintendo-bringing-red-flare-3ds-new-wii-package-to-japan-this/), will hit stores next month (alongside the new Star Fox 64 3D game), joining a 3DS lineup that already features Cosmo Black and Aqua Blue. The company will also be releasing two new games this winter -- Super Mario 3D Land in November and Mario Kart 7 in December -- in the hopes of rectifying its disappointing Q2 earnings report (http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/28/nintendo-3ds-price-drops-from-249-to-169-august-12th-current/) with a strong holiday campaign. Only time will tell whether or not it has any effect on Nintendo's bottom line, but if you're interested in adding a touch of Santa-like cheer to your yuletide gaming season, you can grab a Flame Red console on September 9th, for $170. Find more information in the full PR, after the break.
