Amazon began selling various 3DS XL systems directly a couple of months ago. However, the situation may have reverted to the way things were originally.

At least for the time being, you can’t purchase any of the 3DS XL models straight through Amazon. You’ll have to make a purchase through another seller if you’re looking to buy a unit from the retailer’s site.

Nintendo and Amazon have maintained a noticeably strained relationship over the years. Cooperation between the two appeared to be improving after news spread regarding Amazon’s move to sell 3DS XL models directly, but may have soured yet again.

While it’s nothing too major, Bravely Default’s overseas release has made a few small changes to the game’s female characters. Some costumes cover up the females a bit more – as you’ll notice in the image above. Additionally, Bravely Default ups the age of some characters.
