At the GameStop Managers Conference in Las Vegas, –probably just before managers figured out how to pay you less for your trade in’s– Nintendo announced that the New Nintendo 3DS system will launch in the U.S. as part of a special bundle on Sept. 25. This New New 3DS (I don’t even know any more -Ed) bundle includes the new hand-held system, the upcoming Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer game, two cover plates and one amiibo card at a suggested retail price of $219.99. The more compact New New New Nintendo 3DS system joins the current New Nintendo 3DS XL, which has been available since Feb. 13, as well as the 600 other variations the systems has seen.
In addition, a Hyrule Edition New (Two New’s or just the one New?) Nintendo 3DS XL system will launch exclusively in GameStop stores on Oct. 30 at a suggested retail price of $199.99, just in time for the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (sold separately because you’ll spend the money) on Oct. 23. The system is gold-colored and features an intricate Hylian Crest on the front.
“More than 15 million systems in the Nintendo 3DS family have been sold in the U.S. alone,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “These new models offer additional fun ways to experience some of the great upcoming Nintendo 3DS games launching in the next few months.”
The New New New New Nintendo 3DS incorporates all the same enhanced features as the New Nintendo 3DS XL system, including a wider range of controls, face-tracking 3D and built-in NFC functionality that allows for communication with amiibo figures. The compact system also features interchangeable cover plates that can be easily swapped out to change the look of the device, although easy to me doesn’t require the screw driver tool that this comes with.
