Default Standard New Nintendo 3DS coming to North America in Animal Crossing Bundle


Today at a GameStop conference it was confirmed that the Standard New Nintendo 3DS will be coming to North America in a bundle with Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer. This comes after months of fans begging NOA to release the standard version of the system in NA. The bundle will retail for $219.99 and will come with the system, a digital copy of AC HHD, two different cover plate sets and a Amiibo card. You can buy the bundle when Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer launches in North America on September 25th. You can preorder the bundle here: http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-3ds...rVLfFgvwi71X6A

I'm ecstaic that we're finally getting the regular model! Hoping that there will be a way to get it without getting Animal Crossing since I have no desire for that game

Oh wow, did not think I would ever see this happen. I'm sure they'll release the standard N3DS without the bundle soon enough, now that this will soon be available. Even though I love AC, not really interested in HHD, and I was planning on buying a new XL eventually anyways, but now I might think it over again. Great news!

I hope a black version follows soon. Launching it with FE Fates would be good, too.

The Isabelle faceplate is ugly, she looks high lol.

I don't really care but I would hope at some point a non-bundled version is released.

Awesome. I already have a New Nintendo 3DS XL, and part of me is a little annoyed since I originally wanted to get the regular sized one, but I'm glad for those who want to jump on the 3DS bandwagon and didn't because this wasn't available.

I keep seeing people freaking out and asking Europeans for their basic faceplates as if Nintendo won't release the standalone version sometime later so let me just make a small PSA. Nintendo is totally gonna release a standalone version in NA. Just wait a bit.

So Eurobros and importers, what would be some good cover plates to get? Haven't really been keeping up so I'd like to get your opinions on the matter.

You've got to have the monado cover plates.

I always thought this one was really cute

I hope it comes out here, but I guess I could just buy them from anywhere right?

Probably. You could probably even make your own faceplates if you had the right tools.

I think the Splatoon cover plates look really good, I want to get them. I'm actually considering selling my New 3DS XL for a standard New 3DS. I don't really care too much about losing the bigger screens and I don't play much 3DS these days anyway.




------------

Also I think these ones look good on the white one since that appears to be the colour NA is getting.

Those are all beautiful. I wish the XL had the replaceable plates.

I just bought the red and gold Mario edition 3ds. Can't wait to play the game though. I love AC.
