What is this you may ask? That’s right a freaking Pikachu Nintendo 3DS XL. I have a 3DS and I love it but I haven’t done the upgrade yet to 3DS XL and this just may make me do it. I think it looks pretty awesome, although I think I may stand out being a 30 year old in an airport playing a yellow Pikachu 3DS XL. But then again, what do I care what other people think. Anyways, here are the details.
- Nintendo is calling it the Nintendo “Pikachu Edition” 3DS XL
- It will be available on March 24
- The system comes with a 4GB SD memory card and will be available as suplies last
- Suggested retail price: $199.99
- It’s yellow and has Pikachu on it
- Enough said
