New 3DS finally coming to America with Animal Crossing: Home Designer

The New 3DS handheld unit, originally not scheduled for release in the U.S. (we only got the New Nintendo 3DS XL, has recevied a North American release date and bundle package. The system bundle will come with an amiibo card, two skin plates and the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer game. As we previously learned, tapping compatible amiibo cards while playing Animal Crossing: Home Designer will allow you to meet favorite Animal Crossing characters with their separate personalities and design requests in the game.

The Animal Crossing game launches on September 25th, which is also the date of the bundle's release. The best feature of the New 3DS is the second stick on the right hand side of the system, allowing you to more easily control the game's camera.

The bundle will release on September 25th as noted and remember — it's the smaller version, not the 3DS XL. For those of you who don't like the bigger, portable system, the New Nintendo 3DS is perfect for you at $219.99.
