Rumour: Pikachu 3DS XL Makes It To Chile, North America Is Next?

Cool...but they should bring over that charizard 3DS

I've always wondered if new colors or prints actually make people decide they want a console/handheld. It's not really a selling point for me. Are there people holding off buying as they wait for a particular color design or who trade in equivalent systems just to get a different one?

It would be nice if it comes in a bundle with pokemon X/Y

@Nareva Well I'm holding off on the XL for a different bundle, but I'm considering just buying one soon anyways.

@Pikachupwnage Definitely need it!

well if you really want it there is always Ebay

if this is true...

They should package it with Pokemon X/Y

@ivanmata: that's what I'm saying! That would be an instabuy for me!

@Nareva I am waiting for a black XL before I make the upgrade. If I felt the XL was a must-have, I'd obviously get one with the color choices available now, though I don't particularly like the red or blue. I figure a black version will come out eventually (already available in Japan) so I can wait until then.

So to answer your question--yes, color choice can affect the sales of a device, though it's probably not a huge factor.

I really hope the Pikachu 3DS XL comes to the US. I'll pick one up for sure! In the case of the Charizard XL though.....I would cry if that left Japan since I already spent $450 importing that mother.....

Yes, I would definitely buy it.

@bboy2970 Are you kidding me?!?! Don't you have enough 3ds's?!?!

Oh damn..............I gave away the secret.........Just ignore these posts on the week when I reveal it on Swapnote :3

Its still not the big secret item though

y para Mexico?!

I think I'd be willing to upgrade for this or the Charizard one.

South America getting something cool before the US? Color me impressed.

I'm sorry, but every time I look at it, I keep thinking Pikachu's got nipples!

@nareva it will appeal to a lot of kids to buy a 3DS, and there are also collectors who buy all the special editions they can afford (and im sure Nintendo knows that very well).

@WingedFish Exactly my thoughts. It looks very nice, and I want to get an XL, but... pikanipples... can't unsee them.

Im from Chile lol

I just got my xl. I might have to get this... sigh

I simply can't wait. I hope Nintendo of America confirms this news. I've been wanting a 3DS XL for awhile now, but ever sense I seen this beauty I have halted my purchase in hopes that we might get the pikachu-themed handheld. I hope this gets bundled with the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. Fingers-crossed.

Yep, those still look like nips! lol

This is my ticket into the land of 3ds, ive been waiting to buy one and i will pre order this the INSTANT it gets announced for NA. I only hope it hurries up what with fire emblem, mh4, odyssey, castlevania all coming soon. Jeez.

Chile rocks.

I bought this one last night, at a sale!
For some reason this was the cheaper than the original, silly finnish stores
(maybe they just dont like pikachu)

Good thing I've already got a 3DS xL, especially if you're like me and despise Pokemon...

@Krimbatize: There is a third color option: Get a pink one! I picked up the White/Pink model. Every 30-something male Nintendo loyalist who's secure with his manhood (like me) needs to get a pink DS. Or wait for this, if you happen to be a Pokefan.

If i dont get it in america ill die!

I wish it wasn't a rumor I would so buy it if it was real
