Nintendo is kicking up its drive behind the 2DS (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/2ds) with two Pokemon X/Y (http://www.joystiq.com/game/pokemon-x-y)bundles priced at $150, coming to Target and Toys R Us on Friday, December 6. Target will offer a red 2DS system with Pokemon X pre-installed, while the Toys R Us bundle features a blue system with Pokemon Y pre-loaded on a SD card.
Nintendo released the 2DS as an alternative to the 3DS earlier this year (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/28/nintendo-2ds-plays-all-3ds-ds-games-in-2d-ditches-clamshell/), with a standalone price set at $130. The hinge-less hardware's lower price comes at the expense of 3D tech, and with backwards compatibility for 2000+ DS games.
With 4 million copies (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/15/pokemon-x-y-sells-over-four-million-in-two-days/) of Pokemon X/Y flying off shelves within 48 hours of release, and 2 million sold in North America to date, Nintendo seems to be hoping the game's prolific performance will boost that of the 2DS' across the holiday season.
