So, once again, that GameStop flyer was spot on : the Zelda : A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL bundle is coming to America on Nov. 22nd. Nintendo just announced it on YouTube.They don't give any details on the content, but you can see on the box it'll come with "Full game download", which means a DL code instead of having the game pre-loaded on the 4GB SD Card. No mention of the price either (it should be 219.99$ according to that GameStop flyer).

Here's some pics of the box, courtesy of salromano :

Now available for pre-order at BestBuy.

Paint me in gold and lock if old.

RIP xbone sales

The Wind Waker Wii U looks out of place when compared to the rest of the bling hardware.

[PSGames]

That looks awesome.

 

[Zalman]

I actually like the US retail box more than the PAL SKU. That's a first. Can't wait to pick mine up

US usually has the better looking boxes. This is coming from a European.

 

[BY2K]

The design is stupidly clever.

The Wind Waker Wii U looks out of place when compared to the rest of the bling hardware.

That's because they still need to make a New Zelda Wii U™ special edition console.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I think the outside looks great but I don't like the gold inside

 

[Courage]

Fuck, that looks pretty.

 

[NolbertoS]

*throws money at screen*. Finally I'll have a 3DS XL now . I think Next Gen can wait 1 to 2 years for me, until the library gets bigger and consoles get cheaper by Black Friday 2014

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Looks like it might be time to upgrade my launch 3DS to a 3DS XL.

 

[LiK]

Highly recommended for AA5!

 

[Skelter]

Gah, now I have to get one.

 

[onlyindreams]

gold electronics are tacky as fuck.

 

[L~A]

Here's the EU box in comparison (thanks for nothing, USK!) :

US design is much better imo, but I think it's because the 3DS XL EU boxes are quite small, therefore, there's not much space... I think? I'm not sure.

Edit : guess that's the mysterious YT announcement, right?

 

[Skelter]

gold electronics are tacky as fuck.

You take it back!

[butman]

Horrendous inside.
Just bought a Black/Black 3DS XL and will sell my Blue/Black XL.
Elegant and beautiful.

 

[TONX]

This will be mine.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Cool beans. I'd pick one up if I were a bigger Zelda fan. Looks great.

 

[Moff]

I actually like that its all gold.

Still very excited for this, I dont have a 3DSXL yet, I actually prefered the design of the Ocarina of time special edition 3DS, but this one will do, its quite a clever design.
I already moved all my 3DS stuff on a 32GB sd card, i plan to go 100% digital with it. especially on a handhelds its super comfortable.

 

[BlackJace]

I have to choose between a Wii U and this... Fuuuuuck.

 

[Black Door]

I have to choose between a Wii U and this... Fuuuuuck.

This will actually have games in the future, so the choice should be simple

 

[cafemomo]

Here's the EU box in comparison (thanks for nothing, USK!)

Could that rating be any more bigger

 

[sixteen-bit]

This will actually have games in the future, so the choice should be simple

Yeah. And you could always get the WiiU later when it's cheaper and has a bigger library

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

where to preorder now?

 

[NolbertoS]

I have to choose between a Wii U and this... Fuuuuuck.

Buy both. Have my Zelda Wii U Bundle in my living room and now a Zelda 3DS XL to compliment it. Nintendo is surely dropping bob ombs left and right to dent PS4 and Xbone sales with a 3DS Bundle

 

[IntelliHeath]

Did anyone noticed that NA Zelda 3DS is full gold when EU/JP 3DS are black and gold?

 

[Conor 419]

Xbox One is Xbox Done.

 

[Chezzymann]

Did anyone noticed that NA Zelda 3DS is full gold when EU/JP 3DS are black and gold?

What? No. NOOOOO.... Damn you NoA

 

[FSLink]

Did anyone noticed that NA Zelda 3DS is full gold when EU/JP 3DS are black and gold?

Wait huh? The video doesn't show the bottom half....

 

[FinalFanXtreme]

Was this the big triforce Twitter fiasco?

 

[entremet]

Are there going make enough this time lol.

 

[Robin64]

gold electronics are tacky as fuck.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I need a new 3DS XL, so will buy day 1.

Wish the triforce was centered though.

 

[urfe]

The first special edition 3DS I actually feel looks better than my white one.

However, I can't double dip. I'll replace my LL if/when the screen gets bad, or an amazing upgrade comes out.

Edit/ not usually one to complain about this, bit I would be more tempted to double dip with an account system, or a finite amount of transfers.

 

[dallow_bg]

Time to lose another limited license transfer.

 

[The Mana Legend]

This will actually have games in the future, so the choice should be simple

So both then?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Is this the YouTube secret? (Triforce)

 

[Ulumsk]

Almost want to import this for US-only region locked games.

 

[Lexxon]

Any word on retailers for this guy? I'm hoping to avoid GameStop...Best Buy would probably be my best option. I remember the previous Zelda bundle was available at least at GS and BB, because I almost grabbed one then.

 

[GetemMa]

I hope we can order this online.

I really want it, but I'm not going to stand in line at GS in the middle of the night on black friday to get one, especially not on the same day Xbone releases.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Now that is a nice looking 3DS

 

[Ondore]

So you only need one kidney, right?

 

[Sulik2]

I am in for one, slick little machine.

 

[Derrick01]

I'm going to be so disappointed if I end up not being able to afford this later this year. PS4 hogging most of my money actually kind of annoys me now.

 

[subtleglitch]

I sort of want one, but I only just recently picked up a Pokemon 3DS XL ;( Damn you Nintendo!
