It seems that 2018 is quickly becoming the year of Pikachu. Not only is Detective Pikachu finally coming stateside — along with a big ol’ amiibo of the Pokémon — but a New Nintendo 2DS XL emblazoned with Pikachu’s charming face will soon hit store shelves.
The New Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition will hit the U.S. — it was released in Japan late last year — on Jan. 26. The system will retail for $159.99. It has a little raised bump that highlights Pikachu’s snout.
Here’s a peek at the interior of the New Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition, which keeps the Pikachu color scheme going with brown ABXY face buttons and cross pad.

Pokémon fans will have something new (OK, something old) to play on their Pikachu portables that day. Nintendo also announced it will will release Game Boy Color game Pokémon Crystal on the Nintendo eShop on Jan. 26. The 3DS/2DS version of Pokémon Crystal features wireless battling and trading, and is compatible with the Pokémon Bank app. The game will cost $9.99.
