An advertising poster for the New 3DS XL has appeared, and it shows February 13 as the console's date of availability in North America.

The poster is neither a confirmation nor a denial of rumors that Nintendo's updated version of its popular 3DS hardware will be arriving on US shores in just a month, but if it is true, the date will most certainly be confirmed tomorrow during the first Nintendo Direct of 2015.That Direct, by the way, is scheduled for 9 am EST/6 am PST, so depending on where you live, you might want to wake up early or call into work late.Interestingly, the poster shows only the New 3DSXL, and not both versions of the device, which are currently available in Japan. Does this mean there is another poster out there to introduce gamers to the New 3DS, or is the missing device a sign that North America might only get one version?If you look closely, on the left side of the image above, there is a box for Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D as well as Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Whether these release dates are related to the New 3DSXL release date, we can't say for sure.We'll be covering the Nintendo Direct tomorrow, so make sure to check IGN for all the latest Nintendo and New 3DS news as it becomes available.What do you think? Legit or not? Will you be picking one up? We want to hear about it in the comments.
