Nintendo just shocked the world yet again today by announcing the summer release of three new special edition New Nintendo 2DS XLs — Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Mario Kart 7.

On July 19, 2018, Japanese consumers can get their hands on the special edition New 2DS XL Animal Crossing Amiibo + for 15,980 yen w/o tax (~Php 7,736). The new handheld comes pre-installed with the Animal Crossing Amiibo + game and a design inspired by the title.

European fans can get their hands on this edition too the day after on July 20th. For the European version, the handheld comes pre-installed with Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo.

On the same day as the release of the Animal Crossing special edition Japanese consumers, once again, will also be able to purchase the Mario Kart 7 special edition New 2DS XL for 15,980 yen w/o tax (~Php 7,736). The handheld comes pre-installed with Mario Kart 7 and features a red and black Mario Kart color scheme and design.

Lastly, a few weeks after the release of the other two on August 2, Nintendo Japan will open sales for the New Nintendo 2DS XL Minecraft Edition. The handheld will have Minecraft: Nintendo 3DS Edition pre-installed and comes with a special Creeper design. This edition is priced at 16,980 yen w/o tax (~Php 8,220).

Sadly, Nintendo has yet to announce if there will be a US version of these special editions. So, for now, the Animal Crossing one is exclusive to Japan and EU, and the Minecraft and Mario Kart are exclusive to Japan.
