With the upcoming release of Metroid: Samus Returns, it seems like the once-abandoned series is coming back into the spotlight, in the form of a limited edition New 3DS XL. It'll be hitting store shelves at "limited retailers" on September 15th.

Also you didn't really think Nintendo would stop the 3ds manufacturing, did you? It's still selling.

It's still selling, but there's still plenty of stock everywhere too. They really don't need to make any more for now.

Nintendo is going to keep with the 3ds line till it stops selling, plus this is for Metroid fans and collectors, also they can do Metroid themed Joycons when Metroid Prime 4 comes around, this system is for Metroid 2 remake, they weren't going to make joycons for a game that's on the 3ds and not Switch, there saving that for Metroid Prime 4.

Where in the world did you get that from what I said? 0.o

While I am by no means a Metroid fan I can admit this looks pretty damn cool.

The glossy externals don't matter if top panel is a TN display... Which nowadays is even more likely to get...

I couldn't get a Monster Hunter Generations N3DSXL with a top IPS (despite swapping a few times) so I got Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer and the 1st one was top IPS... Got a second one for my brother and bingo again.

So, what kind of screens do you think it'll have?

TN like every 2017 N3DS XL screen nowadays

TN like every 2017 N3DS XL screen nowadays

Yeah top TN, bottom IPS

Just looks like a mustard and ketchup 3DS to me with some weird black splotch on the top half.

I'd sell you mine for $80. It's in great condition and I no longer use it now that I have a Switch.

[Asparagus33]

I really like the design on this. Probably TN though

 

[fatsquirrel]

But Why? I rather had metroid colored joycons or switch pro controller.

Gotta clean them old devices that were manufactured and didnt sell

I'm not trying to mock anyone but damn, you guys take the screens/display that seriously, I've seen the difference it's what the viewing angels on the side?
