Intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran is getting her own limited edition hardware next month. Nintendo announced today it will release the Samus Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL on Sept. 15, the same day Metroid: Samus Returns hits stores.
The Samus-inspired New Nintendo 3DS XL will cost $199.99. The package does not include a copy of Metroid: Samus Returns, which sells separately for $39.99.
Here’s a closer look at the hardware, which Nintendo stresses is limited:

Nintendo will also release a pair of Metroid-themed amiibo figures next month, one based on Samus Aran’s pose on the cover of Metroid 2 and a soft, squishy Metroid. You may want to grab both if you hope to unlock everything Metroid: Samus Returns has to offer.
Nintendo announced Metroid: Samus Returns — a remake of the Game Boy title Metroid 2: Return of Samus — at this year’s E3. The Nintendo 3DS game is being developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo.
