Two sturdy and soft carrying cases in either red or blue will also be available at launch for a suggested retail price of $12.99 each.
Nintendo 2DS launches on the same day as Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, the next installments in the world-famous Pokémon series, ensuring that Oct. 12 will be one of the most talked-about video game days of the year.
