New 3DS coming to Australia, New Zealand this year ⊟

We had heard Nintendo say the New 3DS won’t launch in North America and Europe until next year, but the company surprised us by announcing that the refreshed hardware will debut in Australasia this November 21.

In Australia’s first-ever Nintendo Direct stream this morning, the company also said Xenoblade Chronicles’ New 3DS release will debut down under next year too, so the port will at the very least have an English version out somewhere.

Giving us a glimpse of how Nintendo might treat the system’s launch in other regions outside Japan, the company said the New 3DS’s standard-sized version will release in just White, instead of in White and Black like Japan (the XL will come out with both Metallic Blue and Back editions in Australasia). It will also have only 20 cover plate options, instead of the 38 different designs that will be available in Japan.
