Pikachu-themed 3DS XL

The 3DS XL's release is just around the corner. Starting on August 19, you will be able to pick up either a red or blue 3DS XL from your local retailer for the price of $199.99. But what if you wanted something different? Something that would show off your favorite franchise?

If you are a Pokemon fan I have some good news. From August 25 through Seprember 14, you will be able to preorder a Pikachu-themed 3DS XL, which you could pick up on the 15th. This yellow (and white) model features everyone's favorite electric mouse Pokemon.



Unfortunately, this offer is only available in Japan. But let us hope it somehow makes its way to other regions in the near future.

Looks pretty nice. I probably wouldn't buy it (I already have a 3DS), but it would be nice for it to come to North America, even if the chances are pretty low of it happening.

Coincidence that Pokemon and 3DS XL came out in Red and Blue, and later a third Yellow installment featuring Pikachu?
