FUCK YOU GAMEFREAK
Why do Europe and Japan get these, while we only get some shitty plastic fucking faceplates? What did North America ever do to be Game Freak's redheaded stepchild?

I do care. I would much rather have a special Pokemon 2DS than a regular 3DS with plastic attachments to go onto it.

Cry me a fucking river. Europe gets shafted so often by Nintendo (like the recently discontinued Nintendo Club points thing. America got games, figures, all sorts of cool shit, whereas Europe got DSi points and some fuckawful wrapping paper). It's time we got something cool.

Be thankful we're finally getting the n3DS without having to buy Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer.

And what the hell do I need both Red and Blue for? I don't think it'll let you trade with yourself.

Would you really rather have a blue pack that only comes with blue and the blastoise plates and a red pack that only comes with red and the charizard plates? They're just trying to make sure you get what you want, and I'm honestly surprised they didn't split it up to get collectors and autists to buy two.

For one, they are special - the colors, style, and buttons are different than ones you can buy separately. In addition, they come included with small collectible items that while not hugely valuable, would be nice considering it's the entire purpose of this set.

Blame big-box retailers, they complained to Nintendo about having to keep track of a massive amount of special-edition DS/DS Lite/DSi SKUs and that caused Nintendo to release fewer special edition 3DS/2DS/N3DS bundles.

The whole idea behind the n3ds faceplates was that special edition systems would largely be a thing of the past. Then they fucked it up by only releasing it in the states as a special edition system.

that's disappointing. retailers seem to manage with other console's special editions and bundles-- xbox one had like 6 for this holiday alone; nintendo should have made it seasonal I guess.

I guess not getting my desired DS should be routine to me at this point after I got the regular turquoise DS because it seemed like the PokePark DS had no chance to come to the US; but lo and behold it came 6 months later

So you get either a shitty transparent plastic from 2005 2DS or the game cover pasted on the removable faceplates.

Why would you fucks want either of these things?

Actually, you get a single expensive bundle with two sets of shitty faceplates and both versions of the game for no real reason.

We get 3 cheap console bundles and two sets of faceplates on top of the two sets of Pokemon plates we already have (translucent Groudon & Kyogre and Pikachu)
