[SanguineShark]

Source? <.< I don't trust this, could be a skin.

edit: Ah, forgot to check the image url.

 

[Wario64]

The X/Y makes it look dumb

Source? <.< I don't trust this, could be a skin.

Look at the URL.

 

[bernardobri]

Only Japan?

 

[QisTopTier]

WTF is this I WANT THIS

edit: Nvm I didnt see the x/y :lol

 

[Divvy]

Ehhh.. looks kind of meh

 

[baekshi]

what is this

 

[Hours Left]

So majestic.

 

[Somnid]

Well that was to the point. It's alright looking.

 

[zroid]

Source? <.< I don't trust this, could be a skin.

look at the image url

it's legit!

dayum son

(edit: url got changed cause the image was rehosted, but it was at nintendo.co.jp before)

 

[GamerJM]

Only Japan?

I hope. I think I might import this if it is.

 

[Xv Elite vX]

Looks awesome to me.

 

[Brofield]

Like hell Nintendo would only release one special edition 3DS for Pokemon.

They'd make the collector's pay for two different editions.

 

[Village]

Imma need a red version of this,yesterday.

 

[kittens]

I'm generally not a fan of special editions and that's true in this case, too, but the design is pretty cool.

[ZeroAKA]

One of the uglier limited edition systems I've seen.

 

[Toki767]

Pass. I think the Fire Emblem one looked nicer. Still not a fan of two toned 3DS XLs though.

 

[Keyouta]

Looks nice to me. One red and one blue I presume. I really wish they'd just do a solid colour for the machines, having black on the inside is lame. Should be all blue.

Edit: Nope, just blue.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

A little too busy for my taste.

I'd be all over one with the pokemon removed and just the X and Y, though.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

I was nervous about a X/Y special edition, but in the end I am glad I went ahead and got a Pink/White one. Its black on the inside, eewww. Black on the 3DS XL just looks dull and boring.

The top of it does look nice tho.

 

[rokero]

looks good I already have that blue XL so i'll wait for someone to make the vinyl decals and buy them later

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Way too gaudy. I thought the Pikachu one was more stylish.

 

[vareon]

Yveltal > Xerneas

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

The Charizard one was a million times better.

 

[SanguineShark]

The Charizard one was a million times better.

Agreed. Probably best looking special edition. Well, I'm glad this is real, but it could look better.

It's still not terrible.

 

[zroid]

The Charizard one was a million times better.

This one is just god-tier though. It was also ridiculously limited and only sold via lottery.

Love this XY one.

 

[aliencowz7]

The 3DS XL hardware design really is remarkably capable of making any non solid color design look straight up awful. I can't really think of any of the special edition XL designs I have liked and I generally like all the different console limited designs.

 

[Heysoos]

can I just get a plain black 3ds xl

nintendo pls

 

[Millsington]

Can someone explain to someone unfamiliar with Pokemon why there are two supposedly separate games of the same type coming out at the same time on the same console?

 

[jambo]

Source? <.< I don't trust this, could be a skin.

Yeah, who is this "Nintendo" anyway?

 

[Drago]

Doesn't look awful I guess. Would've been better if it was all black or all white or all any color. Animal Crossing XL is still the best XL

Also, this better come westward. I can only imagine this selling extremely well.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I can see this being Japan only.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Tradition, it's so players want to go out and trade stuff that aren't in the other version.

More money

 

[HardRojo]

Looks meh, how about bringing the Charizard one over Nintendo? I'm waiting till Black Friday to get a 3DS XL, I've waited for several months, what's 4 or 5 more?

 

[Pomegranate]

Each version has its own exclusive Pokemon, regions, items, etc. to encourage trading and connectivity between players.

It's hard for me to believe you've never heard of Pokemon. Anyway, two different versions is supposed to encourage training. Or double dipping from the hardcore.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

This is the worst special edition, which is surprising considering that the Charizard/Pikachu 3DS models were incredible.

 

[Hex]

Oh look, Japan imagine that.

 

[SanguineShark]

Yeah, yeah. The "source" link wasn't there before and I was too hyped to check the image url. Spoke too soon.

 

[jambo]

Poster said they were unfamiliar with Pokemon, not that they'd never heard of it.

 

[harmonize]

Pokemon Center exclusive, unfortunately.

 

[EhoaVash]

lol thought it looked really good until I just noticed the X and Y logo..now it just sticks out too much.

 

[weevles]

How likely is this to get released outside of Japan?
