For Zelda fans who prefer gaming on the go, the portable New Nintendo 3DS XL Hyrule Edition launching on 24th March is a striking, gold-coloured console featuring an intricate Hylian Crest design on the front. Like other New Nintendo 3DS XL systems, it offers better controls, enhanced processing power, amiibo support, as well as access to a wealth of gaming experiences.

Cold, this is not a deal. It is the first place to stock it. This isnt a game blogging website. Where is more expensive?

Facts? If you feel they are facts then it is up to you (and not me) to justify or reference them. Speculation is never fact, and until you back up your seemingly inside information of whats happening within Nintendo with future consoles your comments are just going to look like irrelevant nonsense. Give me a reference of these 'facts' you speak of otherwise your comments can only be taking as rumour/speculation at best.

It's the Hyrule Edition which means the game it should come with would be Hyrule Warriors.
The Skull statue could be sold for up to £30, or at least I did back then. It looks pretty good.

Yes the sites changed but there are still people other than hukd staff posting genuine deals so you'll have to filter those as best you can. Still some awesome spots by the staff but yep, lots of deals that are really just ads.

its deals like this that mods should be removing, not voting hot... Im new to this site as a member and its become a waste of time. Just a way of bombarding myself with spam all in one place.... I know I don't need to be here, but I think a lot of people (me included) are in denial about the biased way the site now operates... oh well...

Seems very expensive considering there's no game included. :confused:

Yeah my second 3DS was the Link between Worlds one, and I also got the Majora's Mask New3DS because it's one of my favourite games of all time. Also picked up the OG Ocarina of Time 3DS dirt cheap. I do love the designs of some of the limited edition 3DS consoles but there are so many!

Disagree, the 3DS and all its successors has been a major success and its long lifespan is down to the core and key factor being its a really cracking machine, with loads of great games, and with no competition (or certainly no serious competition).
Themed special edition console bundles is no new thing either and has been happening for years. There is a lack of fact on the new console, and just how portable it will be (i.e. can it be used for traveling like a 3DS can?). Any view that is will supercede the latest 2nd Gen 3DS XL for example are speculative or assumptive.

Yay a new gen themed 3DS XL. I think this Zelda one looks good and the gold like theme colour gives it some feeling of luxury. Hoping there is more to follow, particularly Mario Land themed stuff. Some of the limited production themed stuff for the 1st gen 3DS XL like the Yoshi or Mario Dream Team models for example were £199.99. And they did not include a figure or charger either. So while its not a deal it is an improvement in pricing perhaps? Although Mario stuff might just be a bit more expensive when it comes out, as that bit more collectible than Zelda.

That is merely a result of a product lifespan, this year nintendo are announcing their new console- a hybrid of handheld and console. Consequently rendering the 3ds and new 3ds somewhat obsolete akin to what the ds lite and dsi are now. 3ds sales are also poor as can be recognised by the sheer amount of limited edition bundles being churned out with plastic figures. Im a great ninty fan, i just see the wood for the trees

Great price for a really nice looking console. Heat from me. Not sure why there's so many people complaining, if you don't like it, don't click the link. That's what I do :smiley:

This would make it my fourth. I've had what I consider to be good reasoning for the past purchases but this? No chance.

I agree. been noticing this with quite a few deals recently. the amount of heat some deals get, just doesn't make sense.

is there anyway getting the ambassador edition 3ds, tried Ebay there used and the new one cost ridiculously high (dam you scalpers) or I don't mind getting the ambassador faceplate if they sell separately
Illusionary to TechNinja
29 Jan 16#24
Only from (private) resellers, whether that's for the full console bundle or the faceplates (which are the only difference of substance in the 'ambassador' version of the console).

The Box cover isn't as nice as the Majora Mask & no game but the console itself with the Hyrule Crest looks cooler. Will definitely be getting this. Thanks!

You get a free AC adapter which you won't elsewhere, there, that's a deal. Now move on with your life.

No, its not a deal- in the slightest. Its the rrp for their bundle. This is what sets the price, anything cheaper is considered a deal. Its cold as ice with regards to it being a 'hot' deal. Believe me, im familiar with nintendo and this is not going anywhere near majora prices. Potential ebay resell in 12 months does not make this a deal either
This is a good deal compared to rrp...but we're all spoiled by amazing deals on here :smiley: (not complaining i don't think I buy anything gaming without checking on here and waiting for best price nowadays!!)

Of course this is a deal! This includes the console, Skull Kid Figure, AC Adaptor & Zelda Calendar, which if purchased separately, would cost £220 :wink: Also, These 'Limited Edition' Consoles always tend to hike in price. Take the Zelda Majora's Mask 3DS XL console for example, They are fetching up to £275 on 'You know where'.

While I really love the design, when I already have a Majora's Mask version there's no way that I could justify getting this. :disappointed:
Decent price though, especially for the Hyrule Warriors Legends LE bundle. :smiley:
