Europe and Japan have seen this limited edition already. As other limited edition consoles have come to America such as the Zelda and Fire Emblem regular 3DS, this will be the first XL limited edition.

Other countries have received 3DS XL limited editions such as Europe, which has the Fire Emblem 3DS XL. Reports have also said that Japan is also receiving a Shin Megami Tensei 3DS XL limited edition and the Disney Magic Castle 3DS XL, among others.
