3DS
20th

Europe and the US are both getting cool Nintendo 3DS bundles to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pokemon - but I reckon we drew the short straw here in Europe.

USA

In the US, Pokemon maniacs can pick up a New Nintendo 3DS which comes with Game Boy games Red and Blue pre-installed on the system.

There are two cover plates, featuring Blastoise and Charizard, in the box, and you also get a download code for a Pokemon home menu theme. The bundle hits shelves on February 27th.

Europe

In Europe, Nintendo will be releasing three 2DS bundles (the door wedge-shaped handheld without the stereoscopic display).

There's a transparent red system that comes with Pokemon Red pre-installed, a see-through blue device with Pokemon Blue, and a translucent Yellow console for Yellow.

Whichever you pick, you also get a sheet of 15 stickers that can be used to customise the Nintendo 2DS (or your sister's face), and a download code for a home menu theme.

In Europe, New Nintendo 3DS owners can grab two new sets of cover plates - one featuring artwork from Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon and another covered with classic critters.

All this junk - plus, the three classic Pokemon games on Virtual Console - is out Feb 27th.
