Today UK retailer GAME has tweeted to its followers that the charming yellow handheld is now available for pre-order, with a price tag of £179.99. A release date for the device is yet to be confirmed.

Let me know when it comes to the States.
I hope I can preorder one in the Netherlands or Belgium. Otherwise I'll have to buy a UK one online.
Definite buy!
Nipplechu ._.
@Collinhall Yeah, on his NECK.
Anyway, I might just get it if it comes to the US when I have money.
If only it featured Magikarp..
...I still think it's ugly.
@BenAV Same here. I'd rather have the pink and white 3DS XL here in the states.
Getting this for christmas to replace my aqua blue one. Not because of the color, but my current one is all banged up (me being stupid, flinging around my 3DS game case didn't realize it was open) It flew in the air and landed on concrete. Huge crack on the left of the top screen, circle slider popped out a little bit, and the D-pad is loose.
Can't wait though. This will be awesome, although I wasn't a fan of the DSi XL I guess I can give this a try. Bigger screen is actually cool.
This reminds me of the Pikachu N64.
I'm not much for Pikachu, but I hope everyone tunes in to Haunting Hour season 3 premiere Sat at 6pm EST on HUB. And if you want a great Halloween game, check out Goosebumps for DS
One of my friends really wants this! This is great for him, and could be for me if I had the money!
This is the first I'm hearing of the Pikachu 3DS XL but I kind of wish they took opportunities like this to do packaged deals like they did at points with the DSi and DSi XL later in their lifetime.
I mean, I'm not expecting full games, but wouldn't it be awesome if this came with Dream Radar and 3D Pokedex (Pro) at no extra charge? I don't think that would be that unreasonable. : )
@MyBodyIsReady : That would be EPIC.
People like Pikachu that much? Ew (to Pikachu, not the people).
@Byuu That is cheaper than from the link
Come to North America please <3
I'm not even a Pokemon Fan but I want!
@demmi-defender Yeah there's a Pikachu printed on it! https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/10/pikachu_3ds_xl_coming_to_europe_later_this_year
Does anyone know if theres big difference between North American 3DS compared to a European 3DS?
