The Nintendo UK Store released word of a New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward 3DS Bundle in their storefront. The bundle will include The New 3DS, exclusive white diamond face plates, a digital copy of the game, a download code for a game inspired Home Menu theme, and the usually absent 3DS charger.
If that’s not fashion forward enough, you also receive a 10 quid e-voucher for lookfantastic.com.
That is a lot of beauty in one bundle, so if you’re fashion conscious pre-order the pack here for £179.99.
It’s been several months since the last, true Nintendo Direct. But even though there hasn’t been a new presentation in quite some time, we did recently hear that the broadcasts will continue – despite the passing of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.
Nintendo’s Tatsumi Kimishima also provided a brief update about the future of Nintendo Directs during a financial results briefing earlier today. According to the new company president, at least one presentation will be coming this year. That means we should be seeing something within the next couple of months.
