A blast from the past.
Nintendo has announced the latest addition to its ever-expanding list of cosmetic options for its 3DS family of consoles. Again, we see another Legend of Zelda themed console, only this time it’s for the New 2DS XL, and it’s quite the looker.
The Hylian Shield Edition New 2DS XL will launch exclusively in GameStop stores on July 2 and will be available for $159.99. The console is designed to resemble Link’s iconic shield and will come pre-loaded with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
Nintendo has not yet commented on if the console will be available in other regions, as its exclusivity to GameStop indicates that it may not reach Japan and Europe anytime soon.
