Looks pretty cool.
can't really afford it desu
>doesn't come with the game
real sick of this shit
>>386720673
>game not included
May I ask why?
Wasn't going to buy this ketchup mustard stained 3DS anyway but if I did I would expect to at least get the game it's celebrating included with it.
>>386720673
It's live for pre-orders, and still up. So I laugh to that one Anon who was like "hurr scalpers durr".
>>386720834
same thing with my fates 3ds...
fucking annoying, bad enough the handheld doesn't come with a charger..
>>386721027
It's the same price as the standard system. If it came with the game, they'd just make it $40 more.
looks like shit
>>386720834
It's the same price of the normal 3DS. Why would it?
>>386720834
>>386721027
It's OK when they do it
>>386720673
I'm just going to buy a New 3DS XL and Metroid Samus Returns.
>>386720673
Would it be worth to upgrade from a 2DS to a N3DSXL this late in the game?
>>386721418
>>386721302
or they could just include the game for maybe $20 more since people are already buying a system, the thing doesn't even come with a download code
I hate these special editions meant to excite you for a game or franchise that fail to include anything substantial from that franchise

Get the New 2DS XL instead. It's cheaper and less bigger, but packs the same power as the 3DS.

>N3DSXL
I wish they'd make a new regular N3DS model. The Mario Black Friday models were impossible to find.
>>386722349
Did they ever bring the standard "new" models to the west?
>>386722490
There were only ever a few models. There were a white model and a black model featuring Mario plates that came out for Black Friday last year for $100. There was also the Animal Crossing Pop-Tart N3DS. There might have been one or two normal colors other than those.
I'm sure the 10 people that obtain it will have fun.
>>386721151
Well idk about what they said, but you can still scalp it later. Special Edition 3DS models still fetch quite a pretty penny, even the not as rare ones.
The Hyrule N3DS XL sells for almost $500 if it's unopened (opened not so much but eh). It stayed on EB/GS shelves for months before finally selling out. The Fates one is also pretty pricey.
>>386721976
Expecting them to sell a brand-new release for half-price at launch isn't reasonable. Why would you get such a big discount because you're already buying a console? Everyone else buying games also already bought a console.

>Did they ever bring the standard "new" models to the west?
Australia and New Zealand got them a month after both models released in Japan for some reason, Europe got them too. It just got a much more limited run in North America.
>>386723121
If I sent money to someone in New Zealand and they bought it for me, how much would it cost?
As much as it looks nice. 9 3DSs is my limit.
>>386723328
Over there it's roughly $250 NZD before AC adapterthough the ends would be different anywayand after GST, the same price as a N2DS XL which is effectively replacing it. It's not going to be cheap, and will be region locked to PAL games unless you hack it.
>>386723519
I have one OG 3DS, and the D-pad is fucked up, despite it having less than 100 hours of use on it, and that's my limit.
>>386721027
Nintendo knows you're going to hack it and download the game anyway
>>386721418
because digital goods have artificial value

>cover is upside down again
Could we plz stop doing this Nintendo?
>>386726594
What, do you hold your 3ds backward when you play it? Don't tell me you display them folded open or something.
>>386723519
>tfw sold each iteration of 3DS I own to different friends
>sold launch 3DS after getting purple 3DS
>sold purple 3DS after getting red 3DS XL
>sold red 3DS XL after getting Mario & Luigi 3DS XL
>pre-ordered Samus New 3DS XL
Not sure what I'll do with the M&L one but I'm a fan of the Metroid series and the thought of missing out on getting this doesn't sit right with me.
>>386720673
ive always wanted a mcdonalds branded 3ds
>>386726594
This one was for you then.
