In a little more pre-E3 news, Nintendo has unveilled the newest special edition of their NEW Nintendo 2DS XL system.
Launching exclusively in EB Games stores on July 2nd at a suggested retail price of $209.99, the special edition New Nintendo 2DS XL Hylian Shield Edition system resembles Link’s iconic Hylian Shield from The Legend of Zelda series, and comes pre-loaded with the critically acclaimed adventure The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is a sequel to the NES game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. In this follow-up, Link must once again save the kingdom of Hyrule from an evil force by transforming into a living painting and crossing into a dark parallel world. Conquer puzzles, traps and hidden rooms of deadly dungeons to save both worlds from certain doom!
The pre-loaded game is a welcome change with many of Nintendo’s more recent 3DS XL Pokémon special editions not coming with a Pokémon game pre-installed.
