Nintendo Unveils New 2DS XL Models, Including A Pokéball Version
During today’s lengthy Nintendo Direct video presentation, the focus shifted away from games for a few seconds to introduce new hardware. Among those items are two new versions of the Nintendo 2DS XL.
People who want to play the forthcoming Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon games in style can pick up a Pokéball-themed Nintendo 2DS XL on November 3. This model features the iconic red and white tones of the Pokémon-catching device.
If you want something a little more subdued (or perhaps in the Halloween or pumpkin spice spirit), Nintendo is localizing Europe’s popular orange and white Nintendo 2DS XL on October 6.
No prices were given for either version, but we expect they’ll fall in line with the $149.99 price point of existing models currently on retail shelves.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
