Amazon begins to sell the 3DS XL

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

For a long stretch, consumers weren’t able to purchase the 3DS XL from Amazon. That has changed as of now (though as this moment it’s being sold by GoHastings.)

The original 3DS still isn’t being stocked by Amazon, and the retailer’s US division isn’t selling the Wii U either. But maybe this is a sign that it will be selling Nintendo products on a more regular basis from here on out?
