When the Nintendo 3DS first launched there were two main versions. The standard Nintendo 3DS, and the Nintendo 3DS XL version. It sold very well, but then Nintendo released its revision called the New Nintendo 3DS. While Japan, Australia, and Europe got the standard and XL versions – the United States only received the XL version. Nintendo stated at the time that the New Nintendo 3DS XL was a more popular model in comparison to the smaller standard model in the United States. Yet, as with everything, people clamored for the standard New Nintendo 3DS in the States. Well, your wait is over…kind of.

Today, Nintendo announced a new bundle. This bundle will include the game Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, two cover plates for the New Nintendo 3DS, an Amiibo Card, and the standard edition of the New Nintendo 3DS. This package is slated to be available September 25th. The bundle will cost $220 USD at launch.

Perhaps this is a sign that the standard size New Nintendo 3DS is coming to the United States? Until that gets announced, the only way you can get the United States standard edition of the New Nintendo 3DS is through the Animal Crossing Bundle.

Microsoft announced today that a new console is coming to the market this November 3rd in North America. The Xbox One Elite Console. This package will contain the system with a 1 TB SSHD, and the Xbox One Elite Controller that allows for customization for $499.

At this time, the only retailers slated to hold this console are GameStop, and Microsoft Stores.

Due to the nature of Solid State Hard Drives – SSHD – Microsoft has claimed this will make the console 20% faster, and use 20% less energy in comparison to the base model at $350. So, if you were looking into purchasing the Xbox One Elite controller and don’t own a system yet – this may be a viable option. Would you buy it? Let me know in the comments!

Hitman is slated to release early December of 2015.

Rainbow Mika returns to Street Fighter! It has been a long time since R. Mika graced us with her masked, and bare-bottom presence. It looks like they revamped a lot of her moves, and her tag partner is going to work as a projectile of sorts. Her over the top style has always been entertaining, but looks even better now!
