Japan's Pikachu 3DS XL Looks Like It Wants To Hug You
This model of the 3DS XL is only coming to Japan (for now), but that doesn't mean you can't look at it and strongly consider trying to import it.
You can only get it at Pokemon Centers in Japan by pre-ordering it between August 25 and September 14, which will probably make importing it difficult.
For some reason, playing a game like Resident Evil: Revelations seems like it would be inappropriate on this 'Pikachu wants to hug you edition' 3DS XL. I would feel bad knowing that all this crazy violence is occurring behind Pikachu's cute face.
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.
