The Pikachu Edition New 3DS XL was originally announced for Japan. However, Play-Asia now has it up for pre-order, and the unit the retailer is selling is U.S. compatible. That means it’s essentially like making a purchase at GameStop or Best Buy.

If you’re unsure about what’s happening here as Nintendo never “announced” the Pikachu Edition New 3DS XL for North America, there’s a simple explanation. The system will be sold in Singapore, and uses the U.S. unit as its base.

You can order the Pikachu Edition New 3DS XL on Play-Asia here if interested.

The adapter doesn’t seem to have an exact release date yet. We do know though that it will be priced at $10.
