Nintendo New 3DS XL - Pikachu Yellow Edition [Discontinued]

This product was great. Although i did get the AUS edition... it actually didn’t affect anything. All the games i purchased it first was great. If it’s not in ENG make sure to change the regions to USA. You should automatically make that change once you turn it on and set up the 3Ds as your own. Only one star taken off because of no charging cable, which does say it doesn’t come with it but still. Overall great limited edition product.

Its not the end of the world - US games can still be played on an SA console and you can even do system transfers from NA to SA. But the seller intentionally withheld this information - as others have said there is a sticker on the box obscuring the region. And as others have said, this means that for service itll have to be shipped to SA. Wouldve been 5 stars if it had just been advertised as being from the SA, maybe 4 stars if it was from the SA but there was no sticker on the box. But intentionally trying to deceive buyers by placing a sticker on the box is 1 star.

Its a typical 3DS with a nice Pikachu design on it. I do think the 3D function seem a bit overrated, and maybe the 2DS would be a better choice just on price, as it functions the same in every other way outside of having 3D. But its minor, I still like my 3DS. I also wish the Pikachu theme was also in the 3DS menu, but I paid like $5 for one so its not a big deal.

My daughter received this item for her birthday and she absolutely loves it! Unfortunately it did not come with a charger, we happened to have an extra so it didn’t bother her.

The product is good but it is the UAE version and not the US version.

Looks nice, especially the inside of the clamshell. Everything besides face buttons and sticks were less impressive; especially the stylus which is in an awkward place on the bottom of the lower screen instead of the side, which is very annoying to pull out if you hold the DS against your chest. I would actually pass on this model if you need to pull out the stylus a lot w/ whatever games you play and you do hold the DS against your chest or with the device on a flat surface. Not sure why they thought putting the stylus on the bottom was a good idea. The 3D screen is still just meh, Id have bought the the same model without 3D if they made one. No charger included, as you know. Mine was ordered new, it had never been opened, but it would freeze up and then refuse to turn on after being on for a while. Probably some electrical component failing; (not the sd card, battery, corrupted data, or Wi-Fi chip which are common issues I ruled out.) Covid-19 is not a good time to deal with Nintendo repairs, so I returned it to Amazon for a refund which was issued without hassle. (Thank you AMZ!) Im disappointed that an unopened product would be prone to failure, and that you need to unscrew and remove a backplate just to troubleshoot with the battery and SD card. Not worth my personal seal of approval.

Cute and works great but no charger, my fault for not reading lol but still sucks you have to pay for it separately

The seller was absolutely quick and awesome at replacing my first purchase when it was defective, so now I’m LOVING my new Pikachu DS!! It’s super light even though it’s an XL and great to play on. Best sellers ever!!

Just like the rest of them say, there’s no charger cable. But it’s great otherwise!

If you are a collector of consoles, love Nintendo, or just really want this 3DS, get it. It was in pristine condition- from the box (no stickers at all) to the packaging inside, to the device itself. (No UAE issues... nothing) I did pick up a cheap charging cord from my local video gaming store. I knew that it came without it, so I wasnt surprised or disappointed. This Pikachu 3DS was brand new. Plays and lights up beautifully, and I have absolutely no complaints.
