I am super excited about this. Do you know why I am super excited about this?

Because Australia and Europe are in the same region when it comes to the 3DS.

1. If I can get my hands on this thing, I will be able to play Australian 3DS games on it!
2. There is more chance for this console to be released in Australia as they wouldn't have to do any further edits to it, just import it directly!

YEAH!!! Well done Nintendo, you won me over. Release this little guy in Australia and I will actually buy a 3DS RIGHT NOW. xD

I wish I heard about this before I had the black/grey 3DS XL ordered for me for Christmas ._.

Haha, but it's look cool! :D

If I lived in Europe and had the money, I'd buy one of those the minute it hit the game cases.

Nintendo.com.au has the interview featured on their website. I wonder if that means the announcements apply to Australia as well :O

Does anyone know when they'll say when it's coming out? Since I really need to have it.
And for once, I am happy that I live in Europe.

I don't think there is a release date yet, but it's supposed to be sometime this year, so within the next couple months.

GAME is taking preorders already so you should definitely contact them if you're interested, especially since it's a limited release and may be hard to get ahold of! =)
