New Nintendo 3DS

Interested in seeing the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer New 3DS bundle up close and personal? Then give the video below a look, which has a full unboxing of the package.

Best Buy is one of the last remaining retailers to have put up its product link for the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer New 3DS bundle. You can order it here.

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer New 3DS was recently removed from GameStop’s website, likely due to low stock. However, it’s still available through Amazon.

Update: Bumped to the top. The page is now live, and there are currently ten that can be purchased (thanks CrossForte).


The standard New 3DS finally launched in North America today, but if you’re looking for cover plates, the only option thus far has been importing. That could be changing very soon, however.

An image has appeared on the Nintendo online store showing that New 3DS cover plates will be sold to U.S. and Canadian customers. You can check out the page here, though it’s currently blank. We do at least know that cover plates like the one pictured above should be going on sale soon!

Amazon is now taking pre-orders for the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer New 3DS bundle. Get yours here.

I have to say I’m pretty surprised Amazon is taking pre-orders for this one. I guess it goes to show that Nintendo and Amazon’s relationship has really improved!
