Starting on the week after Pokémon.
Nintendo is taking steps to ensure the New 3DS is a stocking stuffer this holiday season.
The smaller, faceplate-capable New 3DS will be sold standalone this holiday beginning on November 25 ("Black Friday") for a suggested retail price of US$99.99. No games or additional faceplates will be in the package, but two colors (matte black or white with Mario iconography on both) will be available.
Canada will receive the unit the same day for C$139.99.
