 Check out the full press release below for all the details.


29 May 2014 – Shoppers that are looking to pick up a Nintendo 2DS system and either the Pokémon X or Pokémon Y video games are about to get a couple of new options. Launching June 26, Nintendo is offering two bundles featuring the system and the games - one includes Pokémon X pre-installed on a Nintendo 2DS Black + Blue system, and the other will include Pokémon Y pre-installed on a Nintendo 2DS Black + Blue system. Both bundles will retail at SRP AU$179.95 while stocks last.

As part of the Nintendo 3DS family, Nintendo 2DS can play all Nintendo 3DS games in 2D and is also backward compatible, so it can play the huge existing library of Nintendo DS games. Nintendo 2DS also maintains many of the same hardware features as Nintendo 3DS, like touch-screen controls, StreetPass, online multiplayer functionality and the ability to download games from Nintendo eShop*.
