The anticipation for Super Smash Bros has reached a fever pitch. In honor of the October 3 release of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS, retailers everywhere will begin selling a red or blue skinned 3DS XL on September 19. The art will feature a dozen of the game's characters, perfect for the collector or Smash Bros obsessed fan in your life, although the pack will not feature the game. Hopefully, that will come later. The suggested price is $199.99.
Up next, Nintendo brings it back, old school style. People who head on in to GameStop can pick up the exclusive NES themed 3DS XL. At last, the spiritual success to the original GBA NES-themed version! You can find it on October 10 when it hits shelves for $199.99.
