Australians are going to have to wait a little longer than their European cousins.

Nintendo Australia has announced that the new Nintendo 3DS XL, will be launching in Australia and New Zealand on August 23, 2012.

The system will be priced at $249.95 and will be available in silver + black, red + black and blue + black. A 4GB SD card will also be included with every system providing additional space for digital downloads.

Alongside the launch of the 3DS XL, Nintendo will also be releasing a game called New Art Academy, which is a brand new entry in the Art Academy series which appeared on the Nintendo DS.

Even Australia is getting a better deal than Europe (at least in relation to their video game market - I'm not sure of the exchange rate). I really, really hope the retailers haven't been told the wholesale price of the console yet and are just preparing for the worst by offering ridiculously high pre-order prices.

It is a surprisingly good deal. Only $50 more than the US price. Yay. (he says unenthusiastically)


Also... any mention of the charger being bundled? I see 4GB SD card, but charger... no.
