Sir!
I kinda really want it. It looks ridiculous in all the right ways.
I keep seeing this line of thought and it really doesn't make any sense.
They should have just had Pokemon 3DS bundles instead. It would have been more effective than this device if thats the best reason for its existence.
I really don't know about that, it's pretty much a 3DS Lite. The 3DS fanbase is mostly in japan and everyone and they're mother already own either a 3DS or a 3DS XL
My little brother has an iPod touch.
The design is as stupid as a Vita or a PSP.
Or a Game Boy Advance.
Or a Game Boy Micro.
Game Boy Color.
Game Boy.
Game Gear.
I could go on...
Here is the fact sheet. It has slightly better battery life than the normal 3DS and also the same screen size as that one.
I'm perplexed by this announcement. It looks so weird and it will create market confusion.
Dem tablet feels.
Calling it a 3DS Lite/Mini/Kid Edition or something also wouldn't be ideal, but it would be better in the face of a technology industry in general that typically does not move backwards in terms of numbering.
- Looks like an ergonomic mess.
- Will create confusion for the average consumer.
- Being released just before the zerg rush of next-gen consoles.
- Kills the main selling-point of a device called the 3DS.
- Kills innovation from the developer side. As in: developer may have a great idea for 3D usage but has to factor in 2DS users as well.
- Effectively an admission of failure of the 3DS's 3D abilities: whether technically or as a USP.
- With the difficulties being faced with their existing hardware lineup, why release a new device?
I guess the eye strain and health & safety complaints must have forced this SKU through the pipeline. That and Nintendo's desperation to retain mindshare when the PS4 and Xbox One hit the marketplace.
I give this thing 1-2 years before it's discontinued. For the reasons listed above and more, it's a complete mess of an idea and a focal point of just how clueless Nintendo are at the moment.
Blame Ipads.
How do you already have an avatar of a duck playing the 2DS?People are so scared when they see something different of what they're expecting. It's hilarious.
It feels like the DS announcement all over again.
The XL owners getting all defensive lol
I'm buying the shit out of this. I'll finally be able to play for longer than 30 minutes without cramp.
I've never been happier to have sold off both my 3DSs. It's now readily apparent to me that Nintendo has no goddamn clue as to what the fuck they're doing anymore.
This has nothing to do with console warrior shit. This is in response to the petulant wailing about this being a thing.
