I was looking at the 20th Anniversary Pokemon 3DS that came out a few months ago but became a collectors item the day it came out. What I'm saying is I want a over-priced 3DS. I was thinking I could be slick and buy a regular $200 "New" 3DS at Gamestop and buy the Pokemon Faceplates separately off of Amazon or something. Would I be able to? I'm just assuming because they're both "New" 3DS' it's just the Pokemon Faceplates come with the limited edition DS.
I believe that the only way to currently get a standard New 3DS in North America (other than importing) is through the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer bundle. If you can find the faceplates off of Amazon and don't mind getting HHD, then this may work. Past that, us unlucky North Americans are stuck with the N3DS XL.
Currently playing: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Switch)
You know, you're right. We North Americans don't have them but I found a imported black one on eBay for about $170 which is a good deal for me. I might buy both plates I found for around $80. I saved over $100 with that and I'm satisfied. I didn't even want to upgrade from my blue&black 3DS XL but I'm not even the one who broke it, so I'm not buying it LOL.
The thing is Trine I want the black one because personally I feel like it looks better especially when it meshes with the Charizard/Blastoise faceplates. I just wish the larger 3DS' had Faceplates because I also personally like a bigger screen.
Thank you for clarifying that. That's a shame though, I've been researching now and it just says hacking can let you play US/EU games. If I don't find a good solution I'll probably just buy the New 3DS XL at my local Gamestop
I used to have an XL but I prefer the smaller screens and smaller size of the New 3DS. Plus I like to be able to customize my 3DS with the face plates.
Want: Harvest Moon: One World, Story of Seasons: Pioneering Town, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
Finished the Alola Dex.
Now playing New Horizons, Wrath of White Witch and Sword
