Been keeping my eye on this constantly for a few days waiting for Nintendo of America to make a similar announcement. Remember a few years ago they released a gold Zelda edition DS Lite bundle with Phantom Hourglass in the US and a much more limited silver one in the UK? Both released on the same day, Black Friday. See the release date for this 3DS bundle? November 25th, Black Friday. So who knows, NoA could just be dragging their feet. I've been purposely delaying buying a 3DS because I knew sooner or later there would be a Zelda version, but now that there is, it only plays PAL games
Here's hoping for a North American release
Thanks for the link nipper, it's good to have just in case we don't end up with a US release, but hard to justify $265 spent on a system that won't play US version games...
