Nintendo together with GameStop have announced a new NES-Styled 3DS XL Edition today. The special edition will be sold exclusively at GameStop and will launch across North American stores on October 10. The hardware is modeled after Nintendo’s iconic NES controller and the box looks like an NES system – it will retail at a suggested price of $199.99.
The NES 3DS XL Edition marks the second team-up with GameStop retail stores, as earlier today a new Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth 3DS XL Edition was revealed at this year’s GameStop Expo, which will launch alongside the game on November 25.
I love it.
Damn that shit looks cool. Too bad it’s pointless to buy a regular 3DS now.
Right? This seems like such a bad tease, especially if the new system comes out at 180, then your paying 20$ more for old technology, I think it would have made more sense on the new system any ways, it could have sold more units to have the limited edition design at the start, I suppose they could also have a Snes print of the new 3DS. (and a GameCube edition of the Wii U)
Oh be warn, if you think the new 3DS is going to be cheaper than the current 3DS then you are in for a rude awakening.
Actually they sold the DSi at a competitive price point to the DS, and DS light. And the Japanese price MSRP is already competitive with the current 3DS models. If it dues cost more, it well be by a few dollars, this is a simple stop gap device, it is not a whole new system, and other then a new browser, it well run the same OS.
For Veteran Warriors and Commanders yes but the civilian population would still buy these…
I agree. I will have to pass on this 3DS. I cannot afford to be associated with the common population. It will taint my excellence and perfection.
It’s not pointless for collectors. ; )
Speaking of collecting, WTF do you get your money to afford these? XD
Yeap uh huh
Now you’re playing with power… PORTABLE power!
That’s pretty sweet…………..too bad i’m saving up for the New 3DS XL.
Nintendo’s way of clearing stock before *new* 3DSXL arrives next year
FIRST
MOTHER FUCKER
STOP MAKING ME WANT THINGS I HAVE
LOL!
His F = ma “Butthurt” is beyond limits…
lmfao
Was this necessary with New 3DS coming next year? I have to say I actually don’t like it. The Gameboy Advance SP was great, it looked more like the console and then the buttons looked more like a NES controller. This just looks slapped on and fan-made really.
Looks okay, but what about the inside of it?
Not to mention knowing there’s the New 3DS on the way next year kinda makes buying a 3DS now seem like a bad idea
GOD DAMN IT NINTENDO, I’M SAVING FOR THE NEW 3DS
That girl with the NES Iphone cover will buy it.

I decided to make this game just for the fun of it not sure how long it took me it just consumed a lot of hours to make. Subscribe if you want me to add to this game, also comment down below to give me your thoughts about it maybe some tips. Controls : Left and Right arrow Keys to move, Space bar to jump (hold down space to gain some extra height), Press X to use Fire Balls, and incase of glitch (maybe getting stuck) Press R to Restart). Thank You For Playing! Art and programming (game created) by Roberto Valentino Reynoso.

Check it out :)
Too little, too late. Why would you announce another 3DS model with the new 3DS right around the corner?
Saving for new 3DS. (not day one, but the first “deal” I find!)
My my, this treasure may be worth a fortune soon.
Its a bit unfair with all these Gamestop deals isn’t it. I know i can’t afford a 3DS myself but i know a few Non-American people that would wan’t one of those. In fact i swear i’ve seen a few people actually ask for a NES themed 3DS to be made.
We can always import, depending on how big of a collector you are.
New 3ds instead….but im sure there are a few suckers and collectors left in this world
This pretty much confirms that Nintendo will probably release a New SNES 3DS Edition. That would be nice! XD
Shouldn’t they be working on a NEW 3DS XL NES edition? You know, so people will get the newest version!
“Here, old fans, buy this console blindly and then buy the New 3DS a few month later. Fu… Uh, thank you for your support during all those years.”
damn it! I want that shit for my Smash bros but I kinda gonna have to sell the 3DS XL again after the New one comes here.
Consider me the new owner of this NES edition 3DS XL. I can’t resist this. I hope it’s not an extremely limited edition, where I’m going to miss out if I don’t pre-order.
People who buy any of these are retarded. The new 3DS will make them obsolete. “muh colors, muh limited edition” yes, buy what you already own for the third time.
People still buy NES and SNES games and consoles (like I do). So why are they retarded if they buy this?
It would be cooler if the outside would be more like the console and the inside the controller… This looks lazy…
OK that’s just awesome I want one so bad sucks I already own a 3ds nôoooooooooooooooooo
Damn it Nintendo. Don’t tempt me. XD I’m waiting for new 3DS and then you whip this out? Fuck. NES is the milestone of my childhood and gaming life. ;w;
Another confusing decision by Nintendo. I feel bad for the people who may buy this that don’t know about the New 3DS.

I just pre-ordered this at Gamestop. Never dreamed I’d have to pay $50.00 to pre-order, but it’s worth it to me. This will be my third 3DS. Next is the New 3DS. I’m not rich, I’m just stupid. LOL! This NES edition 3DS XL will be very valuable some day. Especially since it’s a Gamestop exclusive. I wanted to hurry and pre-order before all of the eBay resellers bought them all out.
“I’m not rich, I’m just stupid. LOL!”
Well at least you own it, I’ll give you that.
Never dreamed? That is how it goes with systems, surprised you didn’t know that being a collector or are you just getting into collecting? At least for me its been that way for many years at Gamestop, it cost $50 to pre-order consoles or handhelds.
lol valuble she says
Well, I started “hardcore” collecting in 2006. But normally I buy used games etc. because they’re cheaper. I can get SOOOO much more vintage games for the price of just one modern game. I pre-ordered the original 3DS at Gamestop back when it first came out, but it was so long ago that I had no memory of what I paid for the pre-order. I’m not normally a pre-order person unless there’s some sort of bonus involved. But I knew this NES edition 3DS XL wouldn’t be available for very long. And I didn’t want to miss out on it. I always regretted not buying the NES edition Game Boy Advance SP.
Oh, I understand. I had just assumed you per-ordered often being a collector is all.
I mean I won’t lie, I wish I could do the same, but I can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on something unless I actually use it, but it would be really awesome to have every limited edition 3DS or 3DS XL.
Would be really cool to have them aligned them all into a frame and put them on your wall. Be nice a piece of artwork right there, an expensive piece at that. lol.
My problem is I would just sell them all anyway to make a huge profit.
Whoops meant to delete that bit but posted it anyway… Just ignore the repeat “them.”
Re-worded it but failed anyway.. Sigh..
Nintendo has successfully scammed you. Congratulations. Lol.
Er… What I meant to say was, congratulations! I hope you enjoy the new system! Even though you probably won’t even use it that much because you’re just going to buy the new 3DS and this will be obsolete but… hey it’s your money! Lol.
Actually, I probably won’t even open it (since I already have the Pikachu 3DS XL). Sometimes being a collector feels like a curse. I buy things I know I’ll never open, just for the sake of owning it (and knowing it might be worth money some day). I have hundreds of vintage games (and some modern games) I’ve never even tried to play yet (or see if they even work). But that’s due to not having enough time. It’s possible that my collecting will stop one day. But I’m going to continue enjoying it while I can.
Do you have the gold ALBW XL?
No. I wanted that one as well, but just didn’t feel that it looked quite….I don’t know? I wished it had some sort of cool pictures on it, rather than just a triforce design. I WAS going to buy the blue Smash Bros. edition that’s coming soon, until I saw this NES one. I was forced to choose. I hate making decisions like that.
You mean like the Ocarina of Time 3DS that Australia got?
That looks like dookie, I mean why the shit would i want this on my 3ds? I dont know which looks uglier the Smash bros one or this turd. Plus im getting the new 3ds.
With the New 3DS the interchangeable paceplates will make collecter editions obsolete. There is no longer a reason to make special versions. Maybe limited edition faceplates? I was praying for a Smash bros 3DS to upgrade my regular one. They finally announced it and a week later crushed my dreams when they announced a New 3DS. Jeesh
I like my design better :)

Holy shit! If the NES 3DS was designed exactly like yours, I’d be up for buying this new 3DS just for collecting purposes! But as it stands, screw the official NES 3DS from Nintendo!
