Nintendo on why it isn’t selling the standard New 3DS in North America
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 139 Comments
Nintendo finally confirmed the New 3DS for the west today. However, unlike Europe, North America won’t be receiving the standard/smaller New 3DS system that features cover plates. Consumers in the region will only have the option to purchase the New 3DS XL.
As for why this is so, Nintendo of America told Kotaku:
Different territories make their own business decisions regarding individual products and timing. We think New Nintendo 3DS XL makes the most sense for our market. Nintendo makes different systems at different price points for a whole range of consumers, and New Nintendo 3DS XL simply expands those choices even further.
When asked if Nintendo of America will ever release the standard New 3DS, the company said: “We have nothing to announce at this time.”

GameStop says Zelda: Majora’s Mask New 3DS sold out within 15 minutes online, in-store pre-orders could be gone as well
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 56 Comments
This information comes from a GameStop spokesperson:
“Online, the [Majora’s] Mask bundle sold out within 15 minutes. However, customers can still order one by visiting any of our stores. This order will have to be paid in-full at a store, and can be shipped to the customers home, rather than having to go to the store for pick-up.”
Not so fast there, GameStop! There are rumors going around that in-store pre-orders are gone as well. You may need to look at another retailer for this special New 3DS system!
