‘Yoshi’s New Island’ 3DS XL Confirmed For North America, Is Gorgeous!

Briefly: The unit was announced for Europe some time ago, and now we know that we’ll be getting this special edition console as well!

Nintendo has officially announced the Yoshi’s New Island 3DS XL console for North America. The unit is a gorgeous Yoshi Green, with an image of everyone’s favourite dinosaur on the top of the unit. I just picked up a Mario and Luigi 3DS a couple of months ago, but now that I’ve seen this, I kinda wish that I’d waited.

Oddly enough (and unlike most of Nintendo’s special edition consoles), the unit doesn’t actually include Yoshi’s New Island, so you’ll have to pick the actual game up separately. The unit launches on March 14th for a cool $199.99.

So, is it time for an update? Will you be picking up this gorgeous special-edition 3DS? Sound out below!
