Perhaps its sci-fi design is supposed to tie in with Federation Force, the new 3DS chapter of Metroid, although there’s no Metroid branding on the handheld, either.

It was announced in the video by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, which was shared on Twitter today. It’s officially called the New Galaxy Style New Nintendo 3DS XL, a name which will become particularly fun once stores like GameStop need to designate as being a new or used version.

Out of nowhere, Nintendo has announced and released a striking new 3DS design, named Galaxy.

The system begins shipping today in the USA and will be available there for $200 Dollars. This edition of the New 3DS follows closely after the Super Mario 3D Land bundle for the smaller New 3DS, which launched last Friday exclusively at Target and Wal-Mart.
