Metroid fans will be no doubt be pleased to hear that a Nintendo of America has announced a lovely Metroid: Samus Returns themed New Nintendo 3DS XL system. The console will be available on September 15th for $199.99. However it doesn’t include the highly anticipated Metroid game. You can check out some images of it below:
So it’s themed for the game, but the game isn’t included? That’s really weird. The whole reason I bought my Zelda themed 3DS wsa because it came with Link Between Worlds.
It was the same with Fire Emblem Fates….
Meh.
No need for it, but I like the yellow color there.
I REALLY want this but I can’t… my wallet…

I’d add “New” in the title. At first I thought they were releasing a standard 3DS XL.
Will add that in. Sorry for the confusion! :)
Thanks, friendo.
I like the yellow on the bottom.
If there was a metroid on the left side, it would be cooler.
Or on the bottom.
This game better do well but stuff like not even including the game makes me worried for the game’s potential sales.
People may not prefer pre-installed games imo. Physical copies are probably better, that way it will determine if they like the game or not.
Rest of world: Awesome premium edition of Samus Returns
US: Samus Returns themed 3DS without the game
oooooooooookey dokey
in my day, special editions consoles *included* the actual game
If only it came out earlier in the 3DS’s lifecycle…

Maybe if I sell my current 3DS for $200 like how it’s going for on eBay…
Typical Nintendo milking everyone for all their worth by not including the game
To be fair it would cost more with the game. That’s how I think wasn’t with a link between worlds.
Was*
The commander will be pleased with this.
Just like the Fates New 3DS XL. Doesn’t include the game, because this is purely targeting hardcore fans and collectors.
Sadly, I doubt everyone that wants it will have it. Shitty stock for official Nintendo products are still going strong right now. :/
Workin’ with stockin’?
the special editions haven’t included the game in a while =b and people forget that the special editions used to cost more than the non special editions since they included the game. you’re paying the same price as a traditional new 3ds xl =b so people can get a design they want without being force to buy the game at that moment
Looks nice, but I still can’t understand why all of their special editions have the pictures upside down on the top plate. They should flip it so it’s right side up when open. That’s when people are looking at it.
I love it. Too bad I have one.
I just went through so much shit to get a new 3ds XL and now this??? :(
Definitely cool, maybe it’s even the best looking Nintendo 3DS out there.
I’d be upset that I replaced my broken n3DS too soon but I doubt I’d be able to get this, anyway. I don’t trust Shitendo to not properly stock the god damn thing. *is still waiting for more stock of the Metroid 2-pack of amiibo along with a couple of other amiibo I want*
Double negative. Too bad I can’t edit the not before properly out.
