- FINALLY A 3D POKEMON!!!
- Nintendo releases 2D system
Excuse this if it has already posted but this is hilarious.
I'm baffled. I can understand the "oh my god it's hideous" arguments (though I don't think it looks THAT terrible), but I don't get the "what is wrong with Nintendo they are out of their minds!" This is the smartest thing Nintendo could have done at this point. Bottom line is, this isn't a product for the GAF crowd, and it's going to make Nintendo a ton of money.I'm surprised so many people can't see what a great idea this is...
Certainly makes the Wii U without the game pad a more real possibility.
....this thread is fucking ridiculous.
The 2DS is not meant to add any features. It's made to save production costs, which is why it's only going to cost $130. The reason it's not a clam shell is because there is only one screen with plastic over it to mimic the 3DS. Only having one screen with no 3D capability makes it much cheaper to produce.
Nintendo is offering a cheaper way for people to enjoy their products...LETS LAUGH AT THEM. wow

Nintendo deserves the criticisms releasing a product that loses functionality compared to the 3ds and charging not really any less for it either when you can get a 3DS for the same price or lower without much looking.....this thread is fucking ridiculous.

I don't get how anyone thinks this is a good idea.
Coloured coded add-ons.

...but there was nothing wrong with the first 3ds I have a 5, 7, and 9 year old that play it just fine.
They just want to weasel out of paying for 3d components and a bigger screen so they have less overhead this was their year 5-8 mini/basic model that they rushed ahead of time to make up for the Wii u.
The core idea is good, the only REAL problem is the name... "2DS" implies inferiority and not being able to play 3DS games. They better have a big ass sign on the front of the box that says "Compatible with 3DS games"
The screen size though... what is it, 1.81 inches tall? It's like a postage stamp. That's not good for kids, and not good for watching your friend play.

From the looks of it, the box has a big sign on it that says "Plays all DS and 3DS software".
I think the biggest thing that will hold this back is it lacks the portability of being able to put it in your pocket.
Where the hell can you get a new 3DS for anywhere near $130?
Why does NoA hate white hardware
Didn't Reggie say a while ago that white hardware sells less overall in this region?
I might get a Japanese 2DS to import some games if I can get one cheap. I hoipe they announce it soon.
Sure, but that was before white became a popular hardware color for things. Nowadays all I ever see are white iPhones and majority white android phones and whatever. Anecdotal, but still!
They should try again!
Where can you get a 3DS for same price new?
And all it loses is the abilty to fold and 3D aspect. Hence the reduced price.
