Nintendo has gone ahead and released a special edition console that is targeted towards gamers who are excited to look forward to the brand new Pokemon Sun and Moon role-playing video games.
The Pokemon Sun and Moon edition of the Nintendo 3DS XL is a beautiful black console, but it also happens to feature a plethora of wonderfully intricate yet humbly minimalistic drawings that depict some of the main characters from the new video game.
This special edition console will cost $200, the same as the regular Nintendo 3DS XL. While it doesn't come with pre-loaded games, it makes for an excellent purchase for anyone who is looking to largely use their Nintendo console to enjoy the new Pokemon game.
