New Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition Coming This Month

Posted on by

This past weekend, Nintendo announced a few cool pieces of news. One is that the goofy crime-solving game Detective Pikachu is finally coming to the US, and the company also revealed this cool new Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition to coincide with that news. Pokefans are going to want to get this rosy-cheeked limited edition, since they love to catch them all.

This new portable console will be making its way to North America on January 26, and will sell for $159.99. You can pre-order it from GameStop right now. It should be a hot collectible since it will be one of the last hardware revisions for the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS family. Plus, it looks like Pikachu obviously. They won’t last long, I’m sure. And with Detective Pikachu on the way, people are extra excited for all things Pikachu. So if you want one, you better hurry up and claim one while you still can.

The New Nintendo 2DS XL is Now Available for Pre-orders

Nintendo 2DS XLNintendo 2DS XL

Nintendo is having a terrific year with 2017 with the Nintendo Switch selling over 2.7 million units. The console is all set to breach the 10 million barrier within a year, but Nintendo is not planning on stopping. Their brand new console, the Nintendo 2DS XL, will hit shelves by June and is all set to be the best handheld console ever. You might be wondering why there is a need for another console from Nintendo after the success of the Switch. But the 2DS XL is in a different league poised as a portable handheld console rather than a home console. Here are a few sweet deals on the Nintendo 2DS XL so that you can get your hands on the console before anybody else does!

Nintendo has had a history of not meeting their demands when a device is released. So, to be on the safer side it is recommended to pre-order the device. The device will be released on July 28th according to the Amazon page.

Amazon

The 2DS XL is available for £129.99 on Amazon UK. 2 colors are available right now – Black & Turquoise and White & Orange.

Game UK

It is also available to pre-order on GAME UK for a slightly higher price of £132.99.

The launch price of the Nintendo 2DS XL is set to be $150 which is right in between the $80 2DS and $200 3DS XL. So, what are the reasons to buy the Nintendo 2DS XL?

The 2DS XL combines the goodness of the 2DS, 3DS and 3DS XL. You can play all the games of 3DS, the new 3DS and most of the DS games on it. The biggest difference between the 2DS and the 2DS XL is the fact that the XL version folds. The screens are now 82% bigger than the ones on the 2DS and there is also a built-in NFC sensor. If you’ve used the 3DS XL, you’ll be right at home when handling the 2DS XL. It is much lighter but feels almost the same in hand when it comes to the ergonomics.

The Nintendo Switch has powerful hardware inside and we are expecting the same with the Nintendo 2DS XL as well. There are 2 card slots. One of which is the microSD card slot and the other is the game slot. The C-stick and ZL/ZR buttons from the 3DS XL have been carried over to the 2DS XL. Only 2 games have been announced, but you don’t need to worry as you can play all your older games on it without any problems. The two games are Hey! Pikmin and Militopia, both of which are extremely addictive. So, will you pre-order the Nintendo 2DS XL? Or will you wait until the device hits stores? Let us know in the comments section below.

Pokémon fans in Japan will be happy to know that some special Nintendo 2DS units will soon be coming to their country. These clear plastic 2DS units sport a colorful retro look and will be Pokémon themed.

Some of these already have a U.S. release, but those don’t come packing Pokémon. These new Japan releases will be pre-bundled with Pokémon Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow, hence the colors. You’ll also get a download code for Mew, which can be used in Pokémon XY, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

These should excite Pokémon fans in the land of the Rising Sun. Folks in that area can expect them on February 27 for 9,980 yen (~$83 USD). There is no info on when these might show up in our neck of the woods here in the U.S.
