I will begin cursing NOA because the luigi one will never come here


They had months to announce it


I think the Zelda one looks pretty awful and it'll come here for sure

 

[eighty(one)]

For the Mario Kart Blue 3DS XL, I just had to re-download Mario Kart after completing the transfer. It's not that bad.



Hopefully in enough quantities to satisfy demand ...

It arrived and sold out in Black Friday

 

[NMFried]

These will most likely be the holiday bundles for NA. I think we'll get them.

When have we not gotten a SE Zelda console?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice designs on the LBW one If I were a Zelda fan I'd consider getting it.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Day one on that Zelda one the second it's announced for NA. Will go nicely with my stupid gold N64 and stupid gold DS Lite.

 

[leroidys]

Best Zelda LE console of all time. Wow.

We didn't get the minish cap gold zelda SP.

Personally I think the Luigi one isn't great but the Zelda one looks awesome.

But then I live in Europe so I guess I don't really care what you guys get

 

[Trojita]

That Zelda one looks nice. Nicer than most ones that get released for Zelda.

...posted this on the Pickups thread, guess it fits well in here.

"Went to a gamestop yesterday and had the following exchange with the kid on the other side of the counter:

Me: hi there... im really interested in getting a 3DS XL cus i'll be going on a trip in two days... the only thing holding me back is the possibility of nintendo releasing some kind of special edition hardware with the next zelda...

Gamestop: I see, let me check that for you... (dude grabs a printed list behind the counter and looks through it.) ... we might have some special stuff with the GAME but no hardware as far as i know..."

I walk out of the store pretty happy with my new black 3Ds (super slick) but i wake up to the news of that GORGEOUS system NoE is releasing... goddamn. I'm going to be mighty pissed if that makes across the pond."

Granted we looked at the list at the same time and there was nothing there pointing to new system options, but goddam am i out of luck or what?

 

[Fusilli Craig]

That Zelda one is a really slick design but the gold interior kills it for me.

Having anything other than black framing the screen really washes out the color or vibrance of the display in my experience. Partially why I can never understand the love for white electronics.

 

[Chanser]

I like the inside of the Zelda 3DS XL.

If you've opened it then your only option is to sell it/trade it in if you want the Zelda one.

Edit: Actually think you were being rhetorical, sorry. Bad luck man. xD

 

[SegaManAU]

God Damn....I'll have to buy both.

 

[spookyfish]

It arrived and sold out in Black Friday

I bought the Mario Kart XL from Best Buy quite a bit after Black Friday. It was on sale with the Blur and Red Xls, and they included it in the sale.

Edit: It wasn't the red one; they had a blue XL that had Mario Kart installed on it. That's the one I bought.

 

[NMFried]

Hmmm, I thought that we had. Oh well, I'm still willing to bet we'll get this.

 

[Ermac]

ew @ the inside. It should have been black

 

[R-User!]

I'd like the Zelda one a bit more if it was all gold. Even the buttons and the trim around the screen. The black just doesn't go with it in my opinion.

Black and Gold don't go together???...

You never seen a pimp?

 

[Neiteio]

That Zelda 3DS is incredible. I've never thought of double-dipping on the same portable but my lawd is that tempting. Include the game and the music box/card holder and you have may have a deal.

...if NOA releases it.

 

[D-e-f-]

Black and Gold don't go together???...

You never seen a pimp?

And never played Deus Ex Human Revolution

 

[Greyvvolf]

I will buy that Zelda 3DS XL if it comes to NA. It reminds me of the Phantom Hourglass Nintendo DS Lite.

It's actually way way more similar to the Minish Cap GBA SP.

[10k]

A....a gold 3DS XL with a triforce ingrained into the color instead of being a decal......TAKE MY FUCKEN MONEY NINTENDO (NoE only)

FUCK YOU

Spoiler

Nintendo of

AMERICA!!!

 

[Fedele]

Meh.

 

[Oxn]

It better come to usa, and it better not sell out in a few days.

I want that zelda 3ds.

The funny thing is im going to be in europe when it releases.

 

[Alfredo]

I like the Zelda 3DS XL 'cause the graphic will be right side up when open for once.

 

[GustyGardens]

As a huge The Legend of Zelda fan, I was hoping that they'd release a limited edition XL, but as I see it here before me, I may just pass if it comes to the States. It's nice, but not my cup o' tea.

 

[Jomjom]

I'm so glad I passed on the Pokemon X and Y ones and the nipply Pikachu one. I'm definitely getting the Zelda one when it comes stateside!

I'll finally get to play all the 3DS games I bought without actually owning the handheld.

 

[Volotaire]

The Zelda one is hideous, I was hoping something more in vein of the OG Zelda one.

 

[Dreamwriter]

Two tone and off-center Triforce? No thanks. Was hoping the LoZ LE would be better than that.

Well, at least it's better than the red/black and blue/black ones.

The two-tones match the game's logo - gold triforce on top, black one on bottom. It's not just a Zelda 3DS, it's a Link Between Worlds 3DS.

And why are people talking about accidentally erasing a preinstalled game, when the game will not be preinstalled on this device?

Just because it makes sense doesn't mean it isn't ugly. I just said LoZ LE because I was too lazy to write "LoZ ALBW LE". I thought it was implied.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I love that 3DS XL...love it. Too bad I already have the Animal Crossing XL.

 

[MarkMclovin]

I'd trade the shit out of my current Zelda LE 3DS for that 3DS XL. It'd then go nicely next to my Zelda GBA.

 

[KHlover]

The 3DS XL LoZ is tempting. Might have to sell my OG 3DS and get it...

 

[Majine]

Waaat, a themed handheld that doesn't look like ass? (the Zelda one)

Weeeeeeell.

 

[murgo]

[ZenTzen]

Hmmm, i was gonna get a 3ds for that sweet pokemon, guess i'm gonna wait for the Zelda one, it just looks so good

 

[Owzers]

I know it's a little early to announce the zelda bundle for America, but they need to announce this for America already.

The game is out in 5 weeks. How late do they announce bundles usually?

 

[JosiahB]

I'm pretty sure the Ocarina of Time 3D LE 3DS was officially announce for NA only days before it released (though it leaked before the official announcement).

og zelda 3DS annonced Nov 8, released Nov 25. there's still time.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

That's not very nice of them.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

Zelda one is pretty cool, but I would have made the inside black with gold buttons and leave the rest the way it is
love Zelda but I just upgraded from the regular red XL to the Pokemon Red XL which is gorgeous

 

[MrSaltyPringles]

Reggie Please ;_;

 

[JosiahB]

og zelda 3DS annonced Nov 8, released Nov 25. there's still time.

That was for Europe. For North America, it was officially announced just four days before it released (post #337). Ads leaked for the bundle a while before it was announced.

 

[Inotti]

I have only one problem with Zelda XL. Why is the upper screen's border black? That little detail ruins it for me. Ugh. It remainds me of ds lites I used to fix when I didn't have all the same colored parts.

 

[Savitar]

How is it that NOE gets all these amazing deals yet NOA seems to be twiddling it's thumbs.

I prefer the Zelda one myself.

 

[murgo]

The Zelda LE has already been sold out on amazon DE. Glad I preordered on time.
