Nintendo announced three new special editions of the Nintendo 3DS yesterday.

Nintendo announced the three special-edition Nintendo 3DS XL systems during the GameStop EXPO in Anaheim, California. The new systems include a red or blue Super Smash Bros. edition, a special NES edition as well as a Persona Q Edition, which is being released in conjunction with Atlus’ new game Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth.

“More than 12 million systems in the Nintendo 3DS family have been sold in the U.S. alone,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “These new models give shoppers even more choices during the holiday shopping season. Based on past experience, these special editions likely won’t stay on shelves for very long.”
