That awesome-looking Super Smash Bros. 3DS XL special edition system confirmed only for Europe currently could be coming to the United States if a purported retailer posting is accurate. A leaked Wal-Mart as scan posted in the Blu-ray forums shows the system will launch in the United States on September 19 for $200 in blue and red color options--in Europe, only a red option is available.

No Caption Provided

It is unclear if a copy of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS would be included with the system. The game is not scheduled to launch for 3DS until October 3, which would suggest that the game is not included with the bundle (that would be odd, but not unprecedented) or the date is a misprint.

A Nintendo of America representative told GameSpot that the company has "nothing to announce at this time."

The same Wal-Mart scan also included an image of an unannounced Xbox 360 console that includes a 500GB hard drive and copies of the two most recent Call of Duty games for $250. This bundle is apparently exclusive to Wal-Mart, but Microsoft has not commented.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will be released in October ahead of the Wii U version, which is coming sometime this holiday. It is currently undergoing bug-testing.
