Nintendo has introduced three new special edition 2DS XL, highlighting some of the most popular games on the system. One for Animal Crossing. One for Mario Kart 7. But among them is one standout. A striking green Minecraft 2DS XL taking its facade from the explosive Creeper, the Minecraft enemy with a penchant for lurking. The handheld system has a molded Creeper face, looking just as terrifying as ever.

The handheld system has a molded Creeper face, looking just as terrifying as ever.
Like other special edition 2DS XL systems, it’s nice and textured. It comes with Minecraft pre-installed. That’s the good news. The bad news? This system, as well as the other two newly announced handhelds, are only available for sale in Japan.
The Animal Crossing edition looks great as well, with a charming, cozy light green and cream-colored lid emblazoned with the game’s logo and signature green leaf. It includes a pre-installed Animal Crossing: New Leaf with the Welcome amiibo expansion. It’s certainly the most understated of the three.
Lastly, a Mario Kart 7 edition comes with a textured black lid with a red border that’s reminiscent of the game’s kart tires. It comes with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed. It’s sleek, but isn’t as characterized as its peers. If you’re ambitious, you can order them through import for now, at around $153 for the Creeper edition, and $144 for the other two. Ideally Nintendo will see fit to bring these over to the west, though no official announcements have been made just yet. Given that we got that adorable Pikachu edition, it’s very possible that this could happen in the near future.Â
