Update 2: Cancellation emails are going out. Affected consumers are receiving a $15 gift card.

Update: Finally out of stock. Given how long it was up for, cancellations could be on the way.

This probably isn’t going to last very long at all, but Target has the Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL units in stock. You can place an order here. You’ll probably need to be quick with this one!

Thanks to Ben for the tip.

The Pinball Arcade is coming to the New 3DS, according to lead designer Bobby King. King told Family Gamer TV that the team now has “the processing power with the New 3DS to publish all the tables there”, and the goal is to launch it this year.

The Wii U version of Pinball Arcade – promised way back in 2012 – may also still be in the works, based on comments from King.

You can listen to what was said about The Pinball Arcade for New 3DS and Wii U in the video above.

GameStop is running a promotion in which consumers can obtain $100 for their 3DS XL units and $75 for 3DS/2DS units towards the purchase of a New 3DS XL (through February 15). There’s just one issue: transferring data from one 3DS system to another requires both systems, and can take a decent amount of time to complete.

With that in mind, Polygon spoke with a few GameStop locations in Ohio and learned that there’s a plan in place for the situation. Here’s the full rundown:

1. Go to GameStop. Purchase a $200 New 3DS XL
2. Take your system home, go through the transfer process
3. Take your existing system and your new system back to GameStop
4. Return your new system for a full refund of $200
5. Trade-in your existing system for $100
6. Rebuy your New 3DS XL, use the $100 credit to pay for half the purchase

Not the easiest process in the world, but at least it’s something!
