Two new transparent 2DS skins are coming to Europe in November, letting continentals take a peek at the innards of the 3DS variants. The red and blue models first launch in the region on November 7, with Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby bundles arriving alongside the Poke-remakes on November 28. Nintendo of Europe didn't disclose prices in its press release (2DS standalones are regularly priced £110 on Nintendo UK's online store)
The transparent bundles clearly come with the games pre-installed on a 4GB memory card, with the red system including Omega Ruby and the blue system Alpha Sapphire.
It was around this time last year Nintendo first introduced the 2DS to the world. To recap, it plays the same 3DS games the regular 3DS can and a library of 2,000-plus DS games, but it doesn't feature 3D display functionality or incorporate a clamshell design.
Finally, in related Poke-news, Nintendo UK said the demo version of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is coming to the country on October 15. The company is distributing demo codes through a number of retailers and partners, including GAME, Amazon, ShopTo and its own online store. As per the demo announced stateside, players can obtain a certain Mega Evolve-able Pokemon and reward items in the demo and bring them through into the game proper.
