Pink and blue Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS XL pouches for everyone! Er, I mean, everyone who lives in Japan :(

Ah, yes, it's that time again. What time, you ask? Why, it's the time when I whine about how much more awesome the Japanese Club Nintendo is than its North American or European counterparts.

Case in point, the following Animal Crossing: New Leaf pouches that (I believe) were just added to the Japanese Club Nintendo rewards catalog. 





I mean, I'm sure they'll pop up on eBay sometime soon enough, so those of us currently drooling over them can just pick up one there, but I'd prefer to use some of the Club Nintendo points I've been stockpiling for the last year or so, if at all possible.

First thing I thought when I saw these and the fact they're Animal Crossing related was "Reese and Cyrus".

Ah, good thinking, Sam! You may be right. Or they just could be boys and girls versions, I guess, but I like your explanation better :)

I don't have a case for my 3DS, but those are cyte and tempting. They don't look like they'd add much in the way of bulk.

thegaygamer.com said...

Yeah, that's my thinking, too. Most 3DS cases are simply too bulky to be practical, IMO.

One of my co-workers has a giant red plastic XL case that looks like it could double as med-pack in a shooter game.

Ha! I can only imagine :) Also, how cool that you have co-workers who own 3DSes!

It's nice having a guaranteed StreetPass each day. I convinced him to play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and he's put in about 300 hours and completely passed me up. Now, if I could just get him to try Animal Crossing... lol

So. Cute.

The question is, Justin: which one will you pick up if they're added to the NA Club Nintendo soon?

thegaygamer.com said...

Oh, yeah, that must be nice. And good for you for turning him on to MH3U. Can you do the same with me? Just kidding :)

Justin Difazzio said...

Oh. Blue. It's a great shade of blue.

thegaygamer.com said...

And of course you know which one I'll get of NOA ever adds them to its CN catalog ;)

Monster_Hunter2882 said...

Yeah, they probably are the so-called "boys and girls versions" but I can imagine Reese and Cyrus carrying their 3DSes (both of which would be Blue and Pink) in these using the color to tell whose is whose.

I like the way you think, Sam :) BTW, I now think Nintendo really missed an opportunity here to "brand" these with Reese's and Cyrus' silhouettes (the pink one would have Reese's and the blue on Cyrus', of course).
