Operation Pika: Successful

A while back I reported on a Facebook group that was working on getting a special edition Pikachu-themed Nintendo 3DS XL (3DS LL in Japan) released outside of Japan, specifically in North America, Europe, and Australia. This group is known as Operation Pika. With the news released by today’s Nintendo Direct announcement from Nintendo of Europe, I am happy to report that their efforts were successful. The Pikachu-themed 3DS XL was promised to be coming to Europe this year!
