Nintendo has announced a brand new Nintendo 2DS bundle featuring the likes of Pokémon X and Y. Selling for $149.99, you'll be able to snag a 2DS pre-loaded with Pokémon X or Y starting on December 6th.
As for how to get X or Y? Things get a little complicated…well, sort of complicated. Not complicated at all, I don't know what I'm saying. Here are the details as per the press release that went out this morning.
-
Target will offer an exclusive bundle that includes the Pokémon X game pre-installed on a red Nintendo 2DS system at a suggested retail price of $149.99.
-
Toys"R"Us will offer an exclusive Pokémon Y bundle at stores nationwide and online at http://www.toysrus.com. The bundle will include a blue Nintendo 2DS system and the Pokémon Y game pre-loaded on an SD card at a suggested retail price of $149.99.
I personally went with X. I liked the legendary a little better in that game. Though, honestly, it doesn't make too much of a difference for most players to even notice.
If you've been running a tighter budget than usual, this Pokémon X and Y 2DS bundle might be right up your alley. At $149.99, you'll save roughly $20 by buying the two together rather than separately.
