    This one will be EASY to find. Look at Japan: 1 year after its release this N3DSXL SNES/FAMICOM edition is still available everywhere at its original price. 2DSXL, Switch, "end" of the "DS" area, many people already have a N3DSXL and collectors editions explain why Nintendo has a hard time selling these.

    Even the N3DSXL Samus Return edition doesn't sell. They planned to sell 12 000 of these in Germany and now they say they only have 4 000 in stock

    Don't get tricked by Nintendo and their fake stock numbers, its always the same: they want you to preorder without thinking.

    We will def. get DEALS on this one in few months. (edited)

    when its gone its gone , and we don't really know how much life the 3ds still has. So it may be hard to find at a reasonable price later.

They have removable plates you can buy to change the theme.These things are ridiculously priced for a frankly ancient console at this point. I bought mine from Italy when I was there for €140 a year ago, and even at that price I was a bit taken aback. It made a bit more sense when I went to Japan, as these things are still VERY popular there.

    No Im not. You can buy the replacement faces for the "New 3DS XL from ebay and the bottom piece direct from Nintendo under the replacement parts section.

    I've used both methods:

    Request via E-mail (Nintendo) - Long Winded
    +
    Forward2me / USA2me


    You can also wait for the stock to start appearing on AliExpress/Banggood or Amazon if you don't like Ebay. (edited)

    you just use the contact form i assume because i can't see a cancel button next to the order.

    btw i asked shopto they don't know if they will be stocking it hence why i've been on the hunt for it. (edited)

    yeah to my knowledge.. it was the only reason i never upgrade from my original 3DS to an XL once the New XLs came out

    Heat because £180 is a bargain for such a shiny beautiful thing.

    Doubt this will sell out.

    I've never owned a 3ds but this has just changed all of that!! Thanks op!!
  28. deleted1431257's avatar
    £179.99 is kind of pricey for a New 3DS XL? Is this Smyths cashing in on the hype?

    Edit - Been checking prices for the standard version, it's standard pricing for the new 3DS XL (edited)
  29. UltimatePhoenix's avatar
    Thought it didn't look sooo much like a Snes until I saw the back, makes me want one juse cause of that ☺

    Wasn't one of the original Zelda 3DS XL versions supplied with stickers to add the extra decal details? Hope this one is proper printing, not a cheap sticker version.

    Lovely. Heated.

    Hopefully they add this face plate to the replacement parts list so I can just buy them rather than an entire new 3DSXL.

    Think I'll give this one a miss. Looks like Nintendo is just putting the SNES 'sticker' on an unrelated product

    I'm stuck in a conundrum. Do I sell my Majoras Mask New 3DS XL to fund this or not?!?!?!

    Iv had 3ds from original then changed to zelda link between world xl edition. Then when the new 3ds came out got the white one cow of the faceplates and the coloured buttons...I never transferred my account over cos I knew this can't be my primary console as it's too small now this was announced new the wait was worth it so ordered this n will transfer my zelda 3ds over. Now thing is I got three 3ds units. I never played any games on it tbh jus played link between world so can't wait to dig in their catalogue

    Wanted this but £180 ! Jeez talk about rip off.



    It's not a rip-off, but it's not a bargain either. It's RRP

    Part of me thinks £180 is too much for a 3DS even a New 3DS XL, part of me thinks a Super Nintendo edition is the best thing since sliced bread and I should just go for it.
