Smaller New 3DS Finally Coming To North America
Word from the ongoing GameStop Expo today is that Nintendo will finally release the smaller version of its New 3DS hardware in North America, responding to consumer demand and apparently making good on a hint the company gave us at E3 in June.
Nintendo rapidly followed that with a press release making it all official, though for now we’re only seeing it mentioned in the context of an Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer bundle. The bundle will sell for $219.99 starting Sept 25.

New Nintendo 3DS XL: Hyrule Edition
"...In addition, a Hyrule Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL system will launch exclusively in GameStop stores on Oct. 30 at a suggested retail price of $199.99, just in time for the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (sold separately) on Oct. 23. The system is gold-colored and features an intricate Hylian Crest on the front."
