Luigi and The Legend of Zelda themed limited edition Nintendo 3DS XL consoles announced for Europe


Handheld gaming devices might have lost steam in the past few years thanks to smartphones and their amazing hardware, but limited editions are always special and can’t be ignored, isn’t it? In case you’re a fan Mario’s famous sidekick Luigi, then rush to the stores near you to pick up Nintendo’s latest offering, limited edition Luigi-themed Nintendo 3DS XL handheld. Oh wait, it’s currently available only in Japan, but is headed for Europe where it will be launched next month, that’s a bummer! The handheld console is colored white and dotted with silhouettes of Luigi in various shades of green and is scheduled to be released on 1st November through Nintendo’s UK website.
