Nintendo announced the new 3DS models at the GameStop EXPO in Anaheim today. The NES Edition is a GameStop exclusive, and will be released on October 10th for $199.99.

They’ve also got a Super Smash Bros. Edition, which will be available everywhere September 19th for the same price—before you start playing Smash on it October 3rd.

And they’ve got a Persona Q Edition, which will presumably be out around November 25th for the release of  Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. It’s another GameStop exclusive for $199.99, with a pretty gorgeous Grimoire on the front and new character art on the back.
