With the way things are shaping up, it looks like Nintendo will experience a perfect storm for a huge month in February. This week, Nintendo announced that the New Nintendo 3DS XL model will hit the shelves on February 13. This includes two new special editions. Also, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D hits the shelves on February 13. What else is on the horizon? A new wave of Amiibo figurines will hit the shelves in the same month. The Amiibo craze has really caught on; and the added attraction for the New Nintendo 3DS XL is that the new portable console model will have Amiibo compatibility. With all of these factors coming together, February should be a great month for Nintendo.
