Gear Up for ‘Monster Hunter Generations’ With A Special Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL

July 15 will not only mark the release of the latest entry in Capcom’s Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Generations, but the launch of a themed special edition New Nintendo 3DS XL as well. The system will be specially colored, blue in North America and Red for Europe. Both regions’ will feature the same art on the 3DS’s top shell, an emblem of the “Fated Four,” the main monstrous quartet from the game.

It should be noted that Monster Hunter is a series that greatly benefits from the New Nintendo 3DS XL’s C-stick and ZL and ZR buttons. The former makes controlling the camera a breeze and the latter can be assigned to the new Hunter Artes. The standard New Nintendo 3DS also has these features.

A price for this system has not been listed but I imagine that it will cost about the same as other special editions, US$199.99. Regrettably, the game is not included. Neither is the AC adapter cable. While these omissions are not uncommon, it stings nonetheless.

What do you think of the New Nintendo 3DS XL – Monster Hunter Generation edition? Will you be adding it to your collection?
