[Update] Yoshi's New Island Debuts With Its Own 3DS XL
When Yoshi's New Island comes out for the 3DS on March 14, gamers will have the option to get a new Yoshi-themed 3DS XL.
What you can't see from the picture of the unit above is that this 3DS XL also has a series of Yoshi eggs on the back.
The unit retails for $199.99, while the game goes for $39.99 all by itself. This 3DS XL price is in line with most of Nintendo's themed 3DS XLs, but cheaper than the $219 top-end price.
For more on the game, take a look at its latest trailer.
Note: This Yoshi 3DS XL is not a bundle as originally stated. The text has been updated to reflect this.
Our Take:
It's getting to the point where you can bet that every major release will have its own bundle. But how many handhelds can you possibly be enticed to buy?
