Sometimes, a single picture tells the whole story.
Nintendo has a new version of its 2DS XL dual-screen folding handheld game system. It looks like a Pokeball, those things you throw to catch and enslave monsters in the popular Pokemon series of games. It’s coming out in the US on Nov. 3 for an undisclosed price, though it’ll probably be the same $150/£130/AU$200 you’d pay for the vanilla version today.
And unless Nintendo’s wised up about supply and demand — its recent decision to produce more NES Classics is a good omen, I suppose — you’ll never, ever be able to buy one.
I guess that’s not the entire story, though, because there are other versions of the 2DS XL coming as well.
