Good gravy I want that! I paid $300 smackers for the Pikachu yellow DS Lite. I would do the same for this but they are region locked! I'm betting on it making its way the US later in the year.
Nintendo players and One Piece readers, just better people.

Stuff like this is the reason I am waiting to buy a 3DS XL. I admit, I was spoiled by the beauty of my Ocarina of Time Zelda bundle 3DS. So I'm holding out for a special XL, this Pikachu LL isn't a bad start! I'm hoping for a Majora's Mask XL or a Luigi's Mansion edition. I know the odds are slim but hey, I could be hoping for an Earthbound XL edition.


*Sigh* in a perfect world....

No, you're looking at it wrong.  You have to think of this LL version as your gateway to importing 3DS games from Japan.  $300 or so is a small price to pay to be able to do that.

I like the way you think!

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Finally, thanks to the 3DS cameras, we can see how Pikachu's nipples view the world!

What does the LL mean? I know of the 3DS and the 3DS XL. Is the LL some new revision? Why haven't I heard of it before?

 LL is the Japanese name for the XL.

I am so glad I'm not the only one who saw that when I looked at this thing.
The camera placement is unfortunate indeed.
