30th Anniversary Luigi 3DS and other Anniversary Hand Helds

Post by casterofdreams »

So I'm a bit late with this but some of you may know that Nintendo announced a new 3DS XL that has Luigi all over it. I WANT THIS!

As of now it is only for Japan and since it's region locked there is not point for an import.

Who is hoping for a US release?

I have the 20th Anniversary Game Boy Micro from Japan which has the logo in the back. I've noticed that the logo is absent from the US release. I missed out on the 25th Anniversary DSi which was a 7-11 Japanese exclusive and the DSi LL/XL because when they were released I was a college student. I scored the Micro because they were around $75 in 2010. I never had the chance for the DSi's.

That is some amazingly classy art if you ask me. Though a bit um.....female accessory looking? I'd still get it as a collector's item though, it's too gorgeous and unique to pass on....oh Nintendo, you and your region blocking stupidity....:(

Kinda looks like a toad in my opinion.

But still a cool design, better come with Frogger.

How about the PLAY IT LOUD Game Boys? My favorite was the clear.

I really wish this damn thing would come out here. I would have bought it in a flash.

One of the silhouettes on there is clearly Mario though. Seems odd.

A few gaming sites pointed out the Mario silhouette. Just can't let Luigi have all the spotlight. I do hope the inside isn't white or at least have some cool green buttons.

Any handheld that is clear is amazing. None of that "clear grape color" from the Game Boy Color, just straight up "no color" clear.

Is it just me?

Why the hell is that Luigi XL so ... so ... UGLY? Just like the Animal Crossing one. Who approves these designs? WHO BUYS THEM?

I don't understand.

Nah, its not just you, it definitely could have been a lot better. My desire for it mostly stems from an obsession with Luigi.

I think a nice green and blue system with Luigi's "L" logo on the top would have been perfect. Sort of like that special edition gamecube controller they released (only in japan, naturally) a few years back.

I was actually hoping they'd release a system bundle in that vein for Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon.

The animal crossing one looks like a pop tart
