Want some Smash Bros. love on your 3DS? How about NES? Or Persona Q?
Four new special editions of the 3DS XL are coming to North America later this year, all for the price of $199.99 each.
The first two, coming out on September 19, are Super Smash Bros. 3DS XL systems that come in either a red or a blue variant. The systems do not come with a copy of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, which is due out on October 3.
Coming on October 10, exclusively to GameStop, is the NES Edition 3DS XL, which features an NES controller design on the outside as well as red NES-style buttons. The limited edition hardware also comes in a box that looks like a NES console.
Lastly, a Persona Q Special Edition 3DS XL is coming exclusively to GameStop on November 25. This version features the design of the game's Grimoire as well as character art. It does not come with Persona Q, though it does launch on the same day as the game.
There is still no official word from Nintendo of America regarding the New 3DS and New 3DS XL, which are both coming out in Japan in October and are slated for a 2015 release outside of Japan.
But the PS Vita is a current product and will remain so for years to come. You can rely on the system you buy this year to support the games coming out this year and the next and many more years to come." The campaign writes itself.

Sony would then have to support the Vita. So there's no way that's happening.
I don't want to buy an XL only to find out that the new model is releasing in January or February.
Nintendo's not going to make special editions of the new 3DS systems until they've sold a bunch of the standard New ones and they need a sales bump. So like a year from now, or possibly early 2016.
Am I the only one who doesn't care that Nintendo is releasing New 3DS? It's on them to prove to people like me that we should upgrade. So far, they haven't. Either Nintendo commits some serious exclusives and risks underwhelming sales, or we all just keep playing our 3DSes and act like nothing happened. I'd bet on the latter.
My attitude is that I don't know if the New 3DS will matter or not so I might as well wait and see. I have a 3DS anyway but if I didn't I would be waiting just to see if the New 3DS is worth my while.Well, I guess you finally calmed down from this:
Oh **** this! I just bought a 3DS last year for Pokémon! This is effectively a new system.This is effectively the DSi all over again until further notice which changed so little about how people perceived the DS line. It didn't even sell that well. The difference this go around is I already did the hand-me-down thing with my brother. As a consumer, I feel like I hold all the cards. If I upgrade, it's because they offered something worthwhile, but ultimately, I can choose not to upgrade.
In another alternate universe: People complain about how they want the special editions, but don't want to pay extra for useless features tied to amiibo and some reject Wii game. They also add in how unfair it is that Japan got the cheaper version of one of the special editions without all the forced-in extras.
