Nintendo is not yet done customizing their 3DS XL into different variants and now they have announced their brand new design featuring one of the most popular Pokemon - all-time favorite, Pikachu. With Nintendo Switch having that vibe of a home console merged with portable play, there were a lot of questions in previous months regarding the future of 3DS.

Today, the gaming giant has confirmed they are not yet done with 3DS and the gaming system is just starting to roll out developments. The popular handheld is now unveiling brand new Pokemon-themed variant.

"Nintendo" is launching the Pikachu yellow Edition 3DS XL for February release which will have various features such as crayon drawing for Pikachu on cover and will be packaged in bright yellow color. This is not the first time that the iconic pocket monster has graced the handheld's special edition as in 2013, Pikachu-themed 3DS XL was also launched featuring Pikachu's image as it appeared on the anime of the franchise, along with a promotional artwork.

The major difference, however, is the fact that the Pikachu portable in the past is that this will be laid out in the New Nintendo 3DS XL and the previous one was in the standard version. This implies that the older model did not feature a second analog nub and improvements have been added to the new one. The new Pikachu Yellow Edition 3DS XL have been released for Japanese Pokemon fans for quite some time, recently. The said gaming system was made available in the country November last year upon the release of "Pokemon Sun and Moon."

Favoring the "Nintendo Switch" production, Nintendo already stopped Wii U production but it seems that it will not happen to 3DS just yet. There are still a lot of games scheduled for release for the handheld later this year so the console's future is definitely clear and bright. However, it is still expected that Switch will usurp 3DS once it is released and gets mainstream audience. The Pikachu Yellow Edition 3DS XL will be released on February 24th for $199.99.
