Now, while we dont have the new hardware yet, we can at least welcome the digital side of that news.

Available at launch are 15 themes to purchase and 5 pre-installed, though the installed are just basic color themes red, blue, pink, black, green.

The themes range in price from 0.99 to 1.99, and from star patterns to animated (classic 8-bit Mario).

Its not difficult to imagine themes on the 3DS coming at a quick pace, especially when we are reminded of all of the classic NES games and characters, and anything even remotely linked to Super Smash Bros.

With themes also recently arriving to the PS Vita, handhelds are becoming much more personalized.

Dali is also a car designer, deejay, and introductory beer-brewer.

These themes could be purchased in a special Theme Shop accessed on the home menu and then adorn the Nintendo 3DS console with certain aesthetics.

Music based on the theme will play in the background and the folder icons will change to match the theme.

They also feature a Pokmon sound effect when you bring the console out of sleep mode.
