The New 2DS XL Pokeball Edition was unveiled during today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, revealing a special version of the handheld console created in preparation of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon.
The special edition of the New 2DS XL is, as its name suggests, styled like the Pokeball used to catch Pokemon in the popular RPG series. We called the New 2DS XL the “most refined Nintendo console ever” in our review, but it looks a whole lot better when decked out in red and white.

However, the US has drawn the short straw, as Japan will also be receiving a special Pikachu edition of the console that will not be available in the west.
The announcement of the New 2DS XL Pokeball Edition kicked off the Nintendo Direct presentation, alongside a selection of new Pokemon announcements including pre-order bonuses for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and the announcement of two new Ultra Beasts, UB Burst and and UB Assembly.
The New 2DS XL Pokeball Edition is setfor launch on November 3. As with all New 2DS games, the console can play all existing 3DS games albeit without the 3D feature.
