Future New 3DS special editions to look forward to?

With the Zelda special edition having sold out quick, and me not quite NEEDING a new 3ds just yet, I can totally wait, but I was curious, outside of Launch (and it looks like NA people can expect 2-3 special editions, counting the sold out Zelda ones), how often does Nintendo do special edition versions? Or, at least, how often should we expect?

Obviously this is a speculative topic, but I haven't been paying a lot of attention to how stuff went after the launches of previous Nintendo handhelds (If it's any indication, I still have my white DS Lite that I snuck out of a Target BEFORE it launched, anyone remember that?).

It looks like there are no big patterns, other than the fact that the most highly anticipated title releases (for each particular region) probably have limited edition hardware bundles.

And that opportunists will try to buy out inventory to re-sell at a higher price.

I was hoping for xenoblade version since its first and only new 3ds game. But my MM3d version will have to do.

There are going to be plenty of special editions. The 3DS and 3DS XL have tons of them. Well, maybe not tons, but it has quite a few. A lot have come out for the 3DS XL (Persona Q, Classic NES, Pikachu, Animal Crossing, Zelda, Super Smash etc.)

I think we'll get a Green Pokemon Z Edition NEW 3DS XL...You know, assuming Pokemon Z will happen. Plus there's always Metroid...

Fire Emblem If.

I like the idea of not including the game. It's normal MSRP and you have the choice of opting out for a physical edition of the game.
