Nintendo Puts Out A Mario & Luigi 3DS XL
2013 is almost over, but it’s apparently not too late for one last celebration of “The Year of Luigi.” Not content with putting out a bunch of other limited edition 3DS XL systems this year, Nintendo has just released a Mario & Luigi 3DS XL. Besides a snazzy silver and gray color scheme, the case features the Mario Brothers. The system comes bundled with Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, which of course is pre-installed because Nintendo seems to have abandoned giving out cartridges that could be traded away.
I’ve heard hints that someone is getting me a Zelda 3DS XL for Christmas, but if I wasn’t, this might have been a reasonable choice at $199.99. The tricky part will be not buying even more 3DS XL systems if Nintendo continues making attractive limited edition systems in 2014 and beyond.
