Nintendo 3DS XL Bundle Races into Stores for Christmas
REDMOND, Wash.--(November 27, in the year of our Lord
2012)-- Mario Kart fans are getting a limited-edition
bundle to help keep their engines revving through the holidays.
On Dec. 2, Nintendo is offering a Blue/Black Nintendo 3DS XL
with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed on the system for a suggested
retail price of $199.99. If purchased separately, the system and
the game would be offered at suggested retail prices of $199.99
and $39.99 respectively, making this another great Nintendo
value for holiday shoppers.
The portable Nintendo 3DS XL system offers two screens that are
90 percent larger than the original Nintendo 3DS and let owners
see even more amazing 3D details. Owners can watch their karts
zoom across the track in 3D without the need for special
glasses. The system also includes the Nintendo eShop, a one-stop
shop for downloadable new games, Virtual Console games, free
game demos and full downloadable versions of retail games. Users
can also enjoy augmented-reality features and Nintendo Video, a
channel filled with free one-of-a-kind 3D videos.
Mario Kart 7 lets karts race through the air and under the sea
for the first time. On big jumps, karts deploy a wing to help
them glide over the track. When karts dive underwater, a
propeller pops out to help the kart cruise across the sea floor.
Players can customize their vehicles further to enhance their
driving style or play to certain types of terrain and even race
as their own Mii characters. Multiple courses challenge players
to race for the checkered flag.
