Go before they sell out :-)

664 degrees? really? whats going on! I'm usually one of the first to grab a sword and start defending anything nintendo (pretty much) but even i think that's expensive for what it is.
If it came bundled with some codes for a few snes VC games then ok but this is nuts.

Is it ok to preorder this just because its pretty, knowing it will never get used?... :thinking:
DustyJaneway to whereismyarm

Yes! As this is probably what I will end up doing!! :blush: :raised_hand:

3dsxl models don't do changeable face plates though. unless there is another product your talking about ? can you link it i'm intrested.
Cheers

He probably means the the outer casing as it can be removed not sure how easily though. Would have to remove the entire housing for this grey colour though
Leeps to gotham82

He's thinking about the New 3DS, not the XL. They have removable plates you can buy to change the theme.
These things are ridiculously priced for a frankly ancient console at this point. I bought mine from Italy when I was there for €140 a year ago, and even at that price I was a bit taken aback. It made a bit more sense when I went to Japan, as these things are still VERY popular there.

No Im not. You can buy the replacement faces for the "New 3DS XL from ebay and the bottom piece direct from Nintendo under the replacement parts section.
Please share how it is possible to order from Nintendo US Store as last I tried they do not ship internationally. And there is not a UK or European replacement parts service.

I've used both methods:
Request via E-mail (Nintendo) - Long Winded + Forward2me / USA2me
You can also wait for the stock to start appearing on AliExpress/Banggood or Amazon if you don't like Ebay.

Switch is great. New 3DS is great but I only play the standard size model as the XL screens are too pixelated for my liking and I find it less comfortable

I'm stuck in a conundrum. Do I sell my Majoras Mask New 3DS XL to fund this or not?!?!?!

No just buy the plates and swap them yourself for £20.

Wanted this but £180 ! Jeez talk about rip off.
camaj to stevennoad
25 Aug 17#35
It's not a rip-off, but it's not a bargain either. It's RRP
Part of me thinks £180 is too much for a 3DS even a New 3DS XL, part of me thinks a Super Nintendo edition is the best thing since sliced bread and I should just go for it.

Iv had 3ds from original then changed to zelda link between world xl edition. Then when the new 3ds came out got the white one cow of the faceplates and the coloured buttons...I never transferred my account over cos I knew this can't be my primary console as it's too small now this was announced new the wait was worth it so ordered this n will transfer my zelda 3ds over. Now thing is I got three 3ds units. I never played any games on it tbh jus played link between world so can't wait to dig in their catalogue

25 Aug 17#32
when its gone its gone , and we don't really know how much life the 3ds still has. So it may be hard to find at a reasonable price later.

25 Aug 17#30
or you could have both and also add the samus edition to your collection :joy:

Think I'll give this one a miss. Looks like Nintendo is just putting the SNES 'sticker' on an unrelated product

lol i recently purchased the New 3ds with the face plates in white just because i like the snes button colouring it had.. might have to sell it to fund this SNES 3ds xl.
westy90 to Guyver23
24 Aug 17#10
Good point will this be the only 3ds XL to have coloured bottons?
Guyver23 to westy90
24 Aug 17#11
yeah to my knowledge.. it was the only reason i never upgrade from my original 3DS to an XL once the New XLs came out
superfreddy to Guyver23
25 Aug 17#26
I did that too! This is ugly though
MrCollective
24 Aug 17#24
Hopefully they add this face plate to the replacement parts list so I can just buy them rather than an entire new 3DSXL.

Wasn't one of the original Zelda 3DS XL versions supplied with stickers to add the extra decal details? Hope this one is proper printing, not a cheap sticker version.

Thought it didn't look sooo much like a Snes until I saw the back, makes me want one juse cause of that ☺

£179.99 is kind of pricey for a New 3DS XL? Is this Smyths cashing in on the hype?
Edit - Been checking prices for the standard version, it's standard pricing for the new 3DS XL

This one will be EASY to find. Look at Japan: 1 year after its release this N3DSXL SNES/FAMICOM edition is still available everywhere at its original price. 2DSXL, Switch, "end" of the "DS" area, many people already have a N3DSXL and collectors editions explain why Nintendo has a hard time selling these.
Even the N3DSXL Samus Return edition doesn't sell. They planned to sell 12 000 of these in Germany and now they say they only have 4 000 in stock :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Don't get tricked by Nintendo and their fake stock numbers, its always the same: they want you to preorder without thinking.
We will def. get DEALS on this one in few months.
