New Nintendo 3DS standard unit coming to North America after all

Nintendo just announced that the smaller variation of the New Nintendo 3DS that launched in February but skipped a North American release due to missing the “demographic” here in the States will now release September 25th. The handheld will come in the form of an Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer bundle that includes the game, two faceplates and an Amiibo figurine for $219.99.

Also, a Gamestop exclusive Legend of Zelda New Nintendo 3DS XL will also release October 20th for $199.99.

The New Nintendo 3DS is a redesign of the Nintendo 3DS handheld that includes many new features such as expanded system memory, a face tracking camera for the 3D functionality, a small analog nub for camera control, and more.
