Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Special editions announced for Europe and North America
Just like Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is getting a Dual Pack in North America. It includes both copies of the game, but also an exclusive Steelbook. This particular edition of the game costs $79.99 in the United States (available on Amazon; NB: affiliate link), and $99.99 in Canada.
Here’s what the Steelbook looks like:
And today, Nintendo announced that the game would get not one, but two Special editions in Europe. Here’s details about both:
Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon – Ultra Dual Edition
This is basically the European equivalent of the Dual Pack for North America. It includes the following:
- a (physical) copy of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon
- a Steelbook
- two Serial Codes for 50 Potions each
Pokémon Ultra Sun – Fan Edition
This edition is only available in Europe. It includes the following:
- a (physical) copy of Pokémon Ultra Sun
- a Steelbook (different from the Ultra Dual Pack and the Fan Edition for Pokémon Ultra Moon)
Pokémon Ultra Moon – Fan Edition
This edition is only available in Europe. It includes the following:
- a (physical) copy of Pokémon Ultra Moon
- a Steelbook (different from the Ultra Dual Pack and the Fan Edition for Pokémon Ultra Sun)
Unfortunately, Nintendo did not reveal the price of those special editions, since in Europe, retailers are free to set the prices themselves.
Now, only Japan is missing, but there’s no doubt there will also be a dual-pack there: there was one for Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire and Pokémon Sun and Moon, after all!
Finally, Nintendo just announced via a press release that Pokémon Sun and Moon had finally sold over 1 million units in France, less than a year after its launch. An extremely positive result for the latest entry in the Pokémon series, which greatly benefited from the launch of Pokémon GO last year.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (3DS) will be released on November 17th, worldwide. The Upcoming Releases page has been updated!
