Parker Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 So Nintendo goes through all that trouble making a 2DS to market to children and then they take their most popular "kiddie" franchise and make a special edition 3DS XL, makes sense. During today's Pokemon-centric Nintendo Direct, Satoru Iwata confirmed that the Pokemon themed 3DS XL consoles will be released in the West. The special blue and red consoles, featuring Xerneas and Yveltal, will be released in North America and Europe on September 27th – that's almost two weeks ahead of the game's release date. This implies that unlike a lot of other themed 3DS XL the console won't come with a preinstalled copy of the game. Source: IGN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Looks cool, one of their better designs so far. Shame I can't play the 3DS without getting sore eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowIPendragon Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Any word on the price? I'd definitely pick one up for $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteVega Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 FYI, they made a Pikachu 3DS XL not to long ago and black and white got the same treament. So, it's not like they never made the "kiddie" market before the 2DS. On the subject, I knew I should have waited for these special 3DS XL. The blue one is awesome.

What is the point in making a 2DS for kids when you are making the special editions they'd like in the 3DS XL variant? Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker From what I take from it, the 2DS is made for parents that don't want to be spending a load of money on a handheld that their kids would probably snap in half easily, and they don't know how to use the parent controls for the 3D function.

A 2DS is a cheaper option for anyone that doesn't want to pay 150$+ however, so it's just out there if anyone wants it or not. (Even do a 3DS XL is better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 These are the only two Pokemon Edition handhelds I think look cool. Yes, I have both of them too. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvie_181 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I believe these are for gamers that don't have a 3DS XL and Pokemon fans. The 2DS was created for kids 7 and under (not have to worry about the 3D hurting their eyes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacio_Luna Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 If I didn't already have a regular red 3DS XL I would have been all over that blue X and Y 3DS. Looks really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
