New Nintendo 3DS Limited Ambassador Edition Offered in EU via Club Nintendo

An email has gone out to what appears to be select European Club Nintendo members, with the offer of a special edition New Nintendo 3DS. This is the first confirmation that the New Nintendo 3DS will be released outside of Japan, which had been a point of discussion since its announcement.

Here's the email:

Dear Nintendo fan,

We'd like to thank you, one of our most loyal customers, for all your support. To show our appreciation, we're offering you the chance to purchase New Nintendo 3DS now, and get it before the official European launch!

 

New Nintendo 3DS will be coming to Europe in 2015, bringing new customisation options, new speed, new controls, new 3D viewing and a whole new handheld gaming experience! And with this offer, you can be one of the first players in Europe to own the new system!

 

The New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition bundle

 

For a limited time only, we’re giving you the opportunity to purchase our special New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition bundle – that includes exclusive Ambassador Cover Plates (which won’t be available anywhere else), a charging cradle, and a set of Super Smash Bros. cover plates, too! If you'd like to purchase it, you only have until 23:59 (UK time) on January 12th 2015 to take advantage of this offer.

 

Here’s what’s in the special bundle:
