Nintendo Announces Limited Edition Pokemon X & Y 3DS XL Systems

The Pikachu-themed 3DS XL disappeared from store shelves in a day. The Animal Crossing: New Leaf-themed 3DS XL system sold out before stores opened their doors. At this rate, Nintendo’s latest limited-edition 3DS XL may be gone by the time I finish this sentence.

On September 27, only a few weeks before Pokemon X  and Pokemon Y are released world-wide, fans will have the opportunity to pick up a limited-edition 3DS XL system, either red or blue, featuring the new Legendary Pokémon–Xerneas and Yveltal. As one can see, the design does not differ from either system, so it just comes down to one’s preference of color. Pokemon fans, if you haven’t placed a pre-order on one of these bad boys by now, you may want to do so over the weekend. As the recently sold out Wii U Wind Waker HD Deluxe bundle has shown, collector items like these sell out extremely fast. The Pokemon X & Y-themed 3DS XL systems will come with a $199.99 price tag (game not included).
