black or no buy.


seriously what was wrong with that sexy charizard one?

 

[Codeblue]

I'd rather have the Charizard XL.

Edit: JakkuFurosu knows what's up.

 

[Diablos54]

Definitely NOT carrying that thing around in public and play it.

Yea, god forbid someone found out you like Pokemon, the horror!

I never even knew this was a thing.

*Googles it*

GIVE IT TO ME NOW NOE!! NOOOOOOOOOOW!

 

[Drago]

blech.

I would love a Yellow/White 3DS XL but the Pikachu kills it. Not to mention it looks fucking ridiculous when opened up and in play to other people. One step closer to white, I suppose.

 

[MisterHero]

But where's Pokemon Black2/White2 YELLOW Edition? The one where you get a Pikachu that walks around and it acts like a virtual pet?

Oh. Nintendo didn't make it.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Yea, god forbid someone found out you like Pokemon, the horror!

Not everyone can be open-minded like us gaffers.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I don't like it. My white 3DS is much cuter :3.

Why is the innards white and not yellow or even black :/

 

[Anth0ny]

Definitely NOT carrying that thing around in public and play it.

people carry 3ds xls around?



they're massive. my regular 3ds doesn't even leave my room.

 

[Alchemy]

Not everyone can be open-minded like us gaffers.

And we care about these people because...?

 

[spindashing]

Definitely NOT carrying that thing around in public and play it.

Would it really be that much of a difference carrying a normal 3DS XL around? They'll both be recognized as gaming devices. Then again, I'm not really a closeted gamer so...

I for one welcome this Pikachu overlord. I don't have a XL or a 3DS for that matter so this looks like perfect reason to get one.

 

[Achtius]

is this a limited edition?

 

[TurbulentTurtle]

This along with new Pokemon and Luigi, then I gotta pick up my Bioshock pre-order too?
Looks like I'll be burning through a couple hundred those few days...

 

[Voice of Reason]

And we care about these people because...?

Because not everyone likes what we like. Some people find Harry Potter lame, some people find Pokemon lame. Does that make them close-minded? No, but there's definitely a high percentage of people out there that would think this looks ridiculous. That doesn't mean I'm gonna stop talking to them though.

 

[Mononoke]

I think this design is ugly. Which is a shame. Been wanting a special 3DS design for a while.

 

[NotLiquid]

is this a limited edition?

European one isn't so I doubt it. I at least expect it to run until X/Y comes out.

 

[Hattori]

I'm really tempted but I'm going to wait for the inevitable X&Y Limited Edition bundle

 

[cory64]

Looks like a cheap iPhone case. Design is overdone.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I thought Chespin was the new adorable Pokemon that everyone wants.

 

[javac]

And we care about these people because...?

They might judge us

Lol I remember a whole thread full of people arguing that carrying handhelds around in public is embarrassing or something lol good times

 

[Berordn]

they're massive. my regular 3ds doesn't even leave my room.

You must be a dainty person if an XL is massive. When closed, it's not that far off from the Vita.

Pikachu XL is certainly ugly, but I guess it'll push sales for a certain market.

 

[entremet]

I thought Chespin was the new adorable Pokemon that everyone wants.

Regular joes don't even know who Chespin is. Pikachu is widely recognized.

 

[BasilZero]

I would....get that but....I dont know....it would be pretty awkward seeing a 3DS XL like that being played by a guy like me who is well over the age of what people would consider be the right age to play Pokemon......



Btw Blaziken > Pikachu n__n

 

[spindashing]

I thought Chespin was the new adorable Pokemon that everyone wants.

Pikachu will always be the face of the Pokémon world.

I'd love a Chespin 3DS tho.

 

[cory64]

The original 3DS has one of the best "paint jobs" I've seen on a consumer device.

 

[GamePnoy74]

Back in the day manly men sported this bad boy:

Spoiler

I wasn't manly enough

 

[gosox333]

You guys are grown men buying something that looks like a 5 year old's shitty fisher price toy with that design on it. Cmon.

Bahaha, where do you think we are? Why do you think we're here?

 

[Auron_Kale]

If true, I'll consider buying but I'd really love a solid color one...

The wait is getting ridiculous.

 

[Jawmuncher]

All this waiting and I this is the color NA gets.
Someday we might actually get something for nonpokemon fans.

 

[kittens]

Why is the innards white and not yellow or even black :/

Yeah, either of those color options would have been way better. On second thought, I probably wouldn't buy this even if I was interested in buying another XL.

people carry 3ds xls around?

they're massive. my regular 3ds doesn't even leave my room.

I carry mine around in my backpack sometimes.

 

[dallow_bg]

I thought this was known?

Either way, looks awful.

Give me the AC or the new Mint one!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

As silly as that looks the design is muuuutch better than that ugly XL.

 

[Madao]

i'd buy a Groudon 3DSXL. would fit perfectly since Groudon himself is big and bulky.

 

[entremet]

Charizard was better.

 

[Fey]

Those pictures have made me realize how much I want a pure yellow/white XL.

 

[Lucent]

I wanted an alternate XL color but I never asked for this.

Yeah pretty much. Not excited for this at all. Yellow can be a cool color, but I don't like it being combined with white. Especially where they put it. Gonna pass on this. They really should bring out some other colors.

I'm probably gonna get the blue one but I'll hold out a bit longer to see if we get anything else. Though blue is my favorite color so it'd have to be another kind of blue. =P

 

[Alchemy]

Charizard was better.

I agree with this, but I'm still picking up the Pikachu version. Need an excuse to upgrade to an XL.

 

[Goretrail]

Would totally get this if I wasn't already running low on system transfers. Why do you hate me giving you money Nintendo?

 

[Gravijah]

You guys are grown men buying something that looks like a 5 year old's shitty fisher price toy with that design on it. Cmon.

People who have 15 year old girls in their avatar should not throw stones.

 

[outunderthestars]

Again, another shitty 3DS color variant while NOA still refuses to release an all Black or White model.

 

[The Hermit]

So when they release a new color in US is either pink or a pikachu themed. Awesome.

Fuck it, I am tired of waiting for a white one, I will be buying the red.

EDIT: just saw the Charizard theme, I am even more pissed!

 

[Blueblur1]

I'd totally be down for something like the Charizard 3DS. I definitely won't buy a Pikachu one.

 

[Yonafunu]

Uhm, this has been out here in the Netherlands for months. Is it just now coming to the US?

I would play the shit outta this in public.

 

[Anth0ny]

You must be a dainty person if an XL is massive. When closed, it's not that far off from the Vita.

I'm not talking about how it feels in my hands. I'm talking about portability. I would never take a 3DS XL, Vita or even a PSP with me on the road. Too big and inconvenient.

Luckily I'm not much of a gamer outside of my house, so the 3DS XL is perfect. I love my DSi XL!

 

[K' Dash]

You guys are grown men buying something that looks like a 5 year old's shitty fisher price toy with that design on it. Cmon.

OMG, so mature and Macho! I want to be like you!

 

[Lucent]

Oh wow. That looks really nice. Though I'm not much of a fan of gold so if they could change the lines to silver or even platinum I'd be down.

 

[Wiz]

I'm all for new colors.

If this sells well...maybe they'll think about all black/all white.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Looks bad. Bring over more solid colours or the Animal Crossing XL NoA.

 

[outunderthestars]

OMG, so mature and Macho! I want to be like you!

While his post is a bit over the top, NOA has still refused to sell a more understated XL color.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Tempting, but I'm going to hold off for the inevitable special edition Zelda XL.

Sorry mate, I learned yesterday that Rise-chan is 16! :3
