Super Nintendo fans can grab this new SNES-themed 3DS XL later this year.
Nintendo has announced plans to release a SNES version of its 3DS XL handheld on October 13.
“Continuing the Super Nintendo theme, October 13 sees the launch of the New Nintendo 3DS XL – Super Nintendo Entertainment System Edition,” reads a Nintendo post.
“This retro-themed system’s outer shell pays tribute to the classic design of the Super Nintendo, while inside the Nintendo 3DS buttons are coloured just like the original system’s controllers.”
And just to sweeten the deal, Nintendo will add three additional games to its discounted Selects range.
This includes Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi’s Mansion 2 and Kirby: Triple Deluxe. These games will be available for the discounted price of £15.99 on October 13.
At this rate, the SNES-themed 3DS XL will be easier to find than the SNES Classic Mini.
SNES Classic Mini fans were, however, recently given some good news by Argos, as the UK retailer confirms a new wave of stock will be “coming soon”.
The SNES Classic Mini has been hard to come by since it was announced, with retailers selling out fast whenever new stock is released.
But ahead of the console’s September release date, Argos has given fans hope of picking one up in time for launch.
After previously deleting the pre-order page completely, Argos is now telliing fans that it will have more stock soon.
The Super Nintendo Mini pre-order page now says: “Coming Soon. We’ll have this ready to order shortly.”
The SNES Mini, which has a September 29 release date, is priced between £70 and £80.
