Pokémon Ultra Moon and Ultra Sun launch later this year on 3DS, and Nintendo is releasing the perfect console to play these games on.
On November 3rd, the company will release a special PokéBall edition of the New Nintendo 2DS. This is mere weeks before the two new instalments hit store shelves.
Nintendo also took some time during today's Direct broadcast to remind us that Pokémon Gold and Silver are coming to the 3DS Virtual Console on September 22nd.

2017 - the year my wallet exploded
I want this for my half-blind, Pokémon-loving, loved one.
I want this for her so hard.
@janfritz
Got any spare coins among the debris?
Just don't throw your system kids!
Great. Another stripped-down version of a seven year old piece of tech with zero included games for a whopping $150...
All these articles and I haven't once seen anyone asking where the Zelda DLC was? Maybe another direct before years end?
I might just get this = )
Called it.
Also you forgot to mention that those who buy Gold or Silver on 3DS get a code for a free Celebi for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Mind you, a legit way to get Celebi in GS would also be nice Nintendo.....
To be fair, all Pokémon themed handhelds from Nintendo have their charm or look great.
But this is not only the most ugly and uninspired Pokémon themed Nintendo handheld, it's the worst of them all.
@LiberatedAnimal I really thought we'd get a trailer for the DLC. Dating the amiibo, and telling what they do, w/o dating the DLC is not inspiring. Though they didn't delay it either, so I guess it's still "holiday" otherwise they would have said 2018. My Wii U will never die.
I don't know how any Pokemon game fan could not want this. I think my kid with the original 3DS from launch is thinking hard on it. He's never used the 3D anyway. After the Monster Hunter Stories review I really need 3D.
We finally have a Pokeball for blocky Pokemon. Dibs on the first Porygon!
@rjejr Yeah I thought it was weird that they showed what the function of the new amiibo was without any details on the content of the DLC. Hopefully it's not delayed. I play Zelda on WiiU too. Lol Don't need 2 versions. Maybe I'll get it for the Switch when it's on sale down the road.
I wanna see the Button's color.
You know what? I already own 3 3DS systems .......... I might just get this.
@Anti-Matter the buttons are all black in the inside
If this would have been a design for the new 3DS instead of the 2DS I would have been all over it, awesome design but I gotta have my 3D.
It's interesting how these New 2DS XL special editions have pop out things to them, such as the button on the poke ball and Japan's exclusive version of this being a Pikachu, which has its mouth kind of popping out.
@Jumpman I'm aware of this. There's no reason a 2DS should cost $150 unbundled, though. Have you held a New 2DS XL? I've handled toys from McDonald's Happy Meals with better build quality.
@Jumpman Oh, it'll sell, I'm sure, but part of me cringes every time someone tells me they bought a New 2DS XL.
I'm getting this. I actually prefer the design of the New 2DS XL because the game card slot has protection where none of the 3DSes did and on every 3DS I've had and I had them all that's the first to go.
I'm not a Pokemon fan so I'm just going to buy the Blue and Black one instead, it's most likely cheaper than this too.
I've gotta say. I'm fine with my 3DS XL. But this is real tempting.
I wonder if that's optical magic or clever texture I'm seeing?
This is going to turn a few people's heads!
SNES N3DS
Metroid N3DS
Pokémon N2DS
I WANT ALL OF THEM
YEAH
I haven't got a New 2DS yet so I may actually go for it.
I really like that the central circle is slightly extruded (as is pikachu's nose on the Japan only model). I think this is the first limited edition 2DS or 3DS to be a custom mould instead of a paint job on the standard shell? I wish that they'd done something similar with the snes new 3DS - some bevels and indentation would have been pretty slick.
Does the New 2dsXL use sd cards or micro sd cards?
@LiberatedAnimal or maybe people figure that since the champion amiibos come out November 10th the corresponding DLC will come out alongside with them? ¯(ツ)/¯
