Nintendo Direct Yields New Hardware Bundles

Set your sights to envy as Nintendo have shown off three new hardware bundles and a new standalone colour for its 3DS XL line of products.

First up is the new standalone black edition, going for 18,900 yen and releasing at the beginning of November.

Next is the bundle that the black 3DS XL will also be a part of, together with a digital copy of Monster Hunter 3G that is stored on the accompanying SD Card (which might hint at an eShop release for the game). This costs 21,800 yen and is also due on the 1st of November.

Mario fans rejoice, as the porky plumber gets his own special edition. Again, the game will be stored on the SD Card, and this edition will go for a slightly higher 22,800 yen on the 15th of November.

Last but not least, Animal Crossing gets its own bundle, with a copy of the game (you guessed it!) on the SD Card for convenience. Going for 22,800 yen on the 8th of November.

No word yet on whether these bundles will see the light of day outside of Japan, but with a European Nintendo Direct coming tomorrow and the eShop set to go down for 9 hours around the same time period, who knows what Nintendo are cooking up.
