http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/10/luigiandzelda3dsxl618pxhedimg.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/15/nintendo-3ds-xl-luigi-zelda-europe/)The year of Luigi rages on with today's news that a Luigi-themed Nintendo 3DS XL (http://www.engadget.com/tag/3dsxl)handheld is headed to Europe next month. It joins a Triforce-emblazoned 3DS XL that's also set to arrive next month: the former on November 1st for £179.99 ($290) and the latter on November 22nd for £199.99 ($318). Of course, the Zelda-themed version is a touch more expensive as it packs in a code for upcoming 3DS game The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (a game that would otherwise cost £33). We're still waiting to see EU-wide pricing.
Neither edition is dated for release in North America just yet (the Luigi version isalready available in Japan (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/18/nintendo-3ds-ll-luigi-edition-gives-marios-brother-some-love/)), but we suspect it won't be long before the special edition consoles are headed across the Atlantic. Should you wish to pick up one of the EU-bound handhelds, they'll only be available through Nintendo's new UK website (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/09/nintendo-uk-opens-online-shop/).
