NES, Persona Q, and Super Smash Bros. 3DS Consoles are Heading West

We’ve written about these limited edition 3DS XL consoles that Nintendo has revealed in the past, but unfortunately many of them were never confirmed for the Americas.

Nintendo dropped a bomb on us today when they confirmed that not just one but three of the limited edition 3DS XL consoles have been confirmed to be coming to North America.

You can find information for each limited edition handheld, below:

Super Smash Bros. Edition Nintendo 3DS XL

Red and blue systems go on sale at retailers nationwide on Sept. 19 in honor of the Oct. 3 launch of the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS game. The cover of the new hardware features a dozen of the game’s characters, including Mario, Link, Samus and Little Mac. The systems will be available at a suggested retail price of $199.99 each. (The Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS game is sold separately.)

NES Edition Nintendo 3DS XL

This cool-looking GameStop exclusive goes on sale Oct. 10 at a suggested retail price of $199.99. The hardware is modeled after Nintendo’s iconic NES controller and the box looks like an NES system.

Persona Q Edition Nintendo 3DS XL

In honor of the Nov. 25 launch of the Atlus role-playing game Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, GameStop will be the exclusive retailer for the Persona Q Edition of the Nintendo 3DS hardware. The design evokes the essence of Persona Q with the iconic Grimoire styling on the front – the tome used by the attendants of the Velvet Room and containing information on the many Personas – and the new style of character art represented on the back. It will be available at a suggested retail price of $199.99. (The Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth game is sold separately.)

If you haven’t bought a 3DS, are you considering getting one of these swanky limited edition consoles? I bet a few of you are considering buying a second one – I know I am!
