Nintendo of Europe has put out a new press release detailing the Friday releases for the 3DS this week. These include the New 3DS, Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. You’ll find the PR in full below.

Avalanche of new releases include New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL systems, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, Monster Hunter™ 4 Ultimate, plus more!

9th February 2015 – While Friday 13th is considered by many to be a day shrouded in superstition and misfortune, Nintendo is aiming to overturn this notion and bring good fortune to European handheld gaming fans this coming Friday, #Nintendo3DSDay, with a slew of new hardware and software releases.

At a time when the Nintendo 3DS family of systems has now sold over 50 million hardware units globally, the latest additions to the family, New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL, make their European debut on Friday 13th alongside two major software releases – The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D and Capcom®‘s Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Both titles are playable on all Nintendo 3DS systems, but feature added functionality when experienced on New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL, such as super-stable 3D and enhanced camera controls using the C Stick. Two limited edition hardware bundles, New Nintendo 3DS XL Majora’s Mask 3D Edition* and New Nintendo 3DS XL Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Edition** will also launch on Friday to celebrate these highly-anticipated titles.
Meanwhile, exclusively on Nintendo eShop, IronFall: Invasion, an intense single-player and six-person local & online multiplayer action-shooter from three talented developers launches alongside familiar faces in Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe. In addition, a free video-on-demand streaming service named Nintendo Anime Channel becomes available for download from Nintendo eShop, with anime series from the likes of Kirby, Pokémon, and Inazuma Eleven.
Laurent Fischer, Managing Director, European Marketing & PR at Nintendo of Europe, commented: “We are delighted to be releasing such an extensive Nintendo 3DS hardware and software line-up, and hope this offering demonstrates our commitment to providing the best and most varied gameplay experiences possible for handheld gaming fans.”

Nintendo’s releases for #Nintendo3DSDay, Friday 13th February, in full:

The red New 3DS XL is no longer available at GameStop. Online stock has sold out, meaning pre-orders are no longer being accepted. Best Buy still has it at least!

This Friday will be an extremely important day for Nintendo. Not only is the New 3DS launching, but The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate are releasing as well. These three products could all be a part of Nintendo’s “lucky” Friday the 13th.

Speaking with MCV, Nintendo UK head of consumer marketing James Honeywell said the company is initially targeting its existing fanbase with the New 3DS’ arrival. As for the new 3DS games, Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate should appeal to longtime gamers, and may bring interest for newcomers.

Honeywell’s words in full:

Majora’s Mask is a title that fans have been asking for a long time so it has an instant base. Beyond this we really want to make sure we introduce it to a whole new audience. For Monster Hunter we really feel now is the time when we can really open the title up to a Western audience. The developers have listened to existing players and given them more of what they want, but also ensuring that this new installment is the most open to newcomers.
