Japan Only (for Now?): Bubble Metal Slime New Nintendo 2DS

Last night, we reported that Nintendo would be bringing out a new system, the New Nintendo 2DS, in July. While it looks like North America will only be getting the blue/black color in NA, other regions will get some unique New 2DS designs too. For instance, Europe will be getting an Orange/White model along with the blue/black and Japan will be getting…a Bubble Metal Slime New 2DS also?! Wait, what?! Read on to find out what this Japan only (so far?) system is all about.

The Bubble Metal Slime New Nintendo 2DS will be coming to Japan on July 29th. The system will cost 22,480 Yen! What is this new system all about?

If you’ve never played Dragon Quest, then you don’t know about the Bubble Metal Slime. In North America, this slime is called the Liquid Metal Slime. This unique enemy from Dragon Quest looks like:

The Liquid Metal Slime is an enemy you want to encounter in Dragon Quest. The enemy will provide you with a lot of experience points and that helps make your character stronger (LEVEL UP). So yes, the New Nintendo 2DS is based around Dragon Quest.

Not only that, but the system will come with the newest entry in the franchise: Dragon Quest 11! This will be a physical copy of the game. The system also comes with a download code for a Bubble Metal Slime home menu theme.

What do I think of this new system? I love it. I really wish I could get one of these systems. I doubt it will ever appear in North America. I just hope we get Dragon Quest 11 sooner or later…

Japan is so lucky.
