New Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL models for Europe and America in 2015
Those new Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL models look kinda snazzy right?
Well you’re crap out of luck unless you can speak Japanese. Nintendo Europe has confirmed that the console will not be making its way there until 2015. Nintendo Japan has also confirmed the console will not be making its way to North America either.
Nintendo of Europe made the following statement to Eurogamer: “Different territories make their own business decisions regarding individual products and timing. We plan to launch these products in Europe in 2015. We have a variety of compelling portable gaming options for consumers now and through the Christmas shopping season, including a variety of different Nintendo 2DS and Nintendo 3DS XL bundles at retail.”
Could Nintendo Australia release the console here outside of the other regions? Not likely.
It would be better to have this new 3DS models out in Western territories sooner rather than later. Nintendo needs to generate more buzz around its brand.
