The new handheld comes pre-installed with the Animal Crossing Amiibo + game and a design inspired by the title. For the European version, the handheld comes pre-installed with Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo. On the same day as the release of the Animal Crossing special edition Japanese consumers, once again, will also be able to purchase the Mario Kart 7 special edition New 2DS XL for 15,980 yen w/o tax (~Php 7,736). Lastly, a few weeks after the release of the other two on August 2, Nintendo Japan will open sales for the New Nintendo 2DS XL Minecraft Edition. Exciting speculation is swirling around Nintendo as a newly published patent hints at a potential feature for the next Animal Crossing game. The patent, which was filed in 2024 and released in early 2025, describes an innovative system that generates an in-game newspaper based on real-time events—a concept that immediately brings to mind the charming world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
