Update: You can also get a red/black 3DS XL for $169.99 or a red/black 3DS XL with a 16GB SD card for $179.99.

Nintendo opened up a section on its webstore for refurbished 3DS and DSi products back in April. Starting today, consumers can now pick up a refurbished 3DS XL as well.

The blue/black 3DS XL is currently available for a limited introductory price of $169.99. Once this period expires, it’ll go up to $179.99. 3DS XL systems are typically priced at $200 (and there are sales quite often), so I can’t say you’ll be saving too much.

In any case, you can find more details and place an order for the refurbished 3DS XL here.

Players won’t have to buy any of these accessories to play through the entire game. But with Capcom particularly targeting kids with Gaist Crusher, there could be a lot of money to be made here.

Iwata told Toyo Keizai Online:
