Hardcore Nintendo fans know that when Pikachu graces a certain-to-be-rare Nintendo console, he seriously inflates its future value (http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Nintendo-64-Pikachu-Pokemon-Blue-Yellow-Console-NTSC-/101813016?_refkw=Nintendo+64+Pikachu&_pcatid=814&_pcategid=139971&_dmpt=Video_Games).
http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_288874_thumb_wide300.jpg (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/viewer.php?mode=article&id=288874)Nintendo has revealed a special Pikachu-themed 3DS XL (3DS LL in Japan) that will only be sold via the Pokemon Center store in Japan.The Pokemon Center will take pre-orders on the console from August to September 14, and it will be sold exclusively to pre-order holders, reports Andriasang (http://andriasang.com/con28z/pikachu_3dsll/).
It's unclear whether or not the machine will be produced in pre-defined limited numbers or stay in stock for a set period. But it will be sold for the regular price of 18,900, and you can bet your granny they'll go for a profit on eBay.
Right, where's the local release petition?
