Blue and red 3DS XL bundles with Pokemon X & Y also coming
Destructoid has learned of Nintendo’s upcoming plans to release a new Wii U bundle and new 3DS XL bundles. The information was revealed to us by a source at Target, a major North American retailer, where they were able to show us a firsthand account of their store’s inventory tracking system.
The Wii U bundle will contain the 32GB Deluxe version of the console, and come packed with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. This will retail for $349.99.
Additionally, our source revealed two new 3DS XL bundles for Pokemon X and Y. They’ll come in two colors, red and blue, with the color choices presumably being a nod to the original two Pokemon games that were released in America. The inventory listing didn’t specifically state which version of the games will be included with the different colored handhelds, but we can expect the bundles to retail for $199.99.
No release date was listed for either of the bundles, but we can assume they’ll be out this October as Pokemon X/Y will be out on October 12 release, while Wind Waker HD has an October window.
We reached out to Nintendo for a statement regarding this, to which they replied with “Nintendo does not comment on rumors and speculation.” Not an unexpected answer. We can probably expect an official reveal in the next month or so, most likely through a Nintendo Direct.
