We've known for some time now that the beautiful Pikachu 3DS XL is on the way to Europe but we've been left in the dark as to when... until now.

Yes, it seems that come December 7th, you'll be able to get this beauty in shops all over Europe. 

You'd best be quick though (and may benefit from pre-ordering whilst you still can) as the Pikachu 3DS XL will be sold in limited quantities, and if past Pokémon branded consoles are anything to go by, it's set to become quite the investment. 

To this day, a Pikachu N64 will set you back anything from £50 - £300 and that's despite Pikachu's mammoth body disfiguring the console. 

Apologies for the earlier mistake of stating it will release in November, we're just that excited. 

Will you be picking up a Pikachu 3DS XL?
