Nintendo unveiled an SNES-styled 3DS XL in August of
this year. This was after the company launched a Super Famicon-themed New 3DS
XL in Japan. This version swapped out the Famicom logo for the SNES. The thing
is, Nintendo only released the device in Europe at the time. Well, that changes
today as fans in the US can now get one.
Nintendo is selling this 3DS XL SNES console
exclusively via Amazon in the United States. If you want one you can head over
to Amazon right now and pre-order it for US$ 199.99. It will be released on
November 27th. Check out those stylized purple features that the original U.S.
version of the SNES had. They replace the rainbow colored
highlights on the European version.
The company is also offering customers a code for
the downloadable version of Super Mario Kart so that they can play the game and
relive some good memories. This is all about your nostalgia. Anyway, that
really is one good looking portable console. Fans of the SNES will want to get
their hands on this special edition right away.
