RIP 3D gaming, again. 'Twas a short but sweet ride.
There was nothing sweet about 3D. Just a (literal) eyesore.

Nintendo clearly also sees no value in stereo speakers, everyone just uses headphones anyway, standard industry practice is to be mono and it saves money. I really think there's no chance the next system will have stereo speakers.

I'm one of the weirdos who loves 3D on 3DS3D doesn't seem to be a needed feature. The games I've played don't need it turned on.
Its nice to have but isn't required. So I see the 3D ending here and the successor not having it.

That's not bad, but the "Plays Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS games" sign should be MUCH bigger.
The next handheld absolutely will not have 3D.
That would have been the case even before they announced this.

wait, i am kinda ignorant about this right now, but i wonder, what happens if you plug in headphones and listen to a game on a 2DS (which has mono speaker) will it STILL be stereo over the headphones or mono?

I'll survive, though, as long as the next handheld is foldable. Double screen without a hinge = hideous and dumb.
It's stereo, the system itself just has one speaker.

Oh, they actually disabled ratings and comments on the 2DS video.
Huh.

I guess there will be no Japanese 2DS, right? That sucks
In fact, to inject my own controversial opinion into the mix, I'd say Nintendo would be better served by dropping the 3D from the 3DS (rebrand it as the "Nintendo LS" or whatever) in order to drive production costs down and make some proper money from hardware sales.
I don't know, I think it's possible that next Nintendo handheld will have 3D again. Given how mobile development is progressing, and so how having good tech without spending too much through off-the-shelves components is already possible, and will be even more in the future, there'd be space for 3D again, while having a good price (like, 199.99 as highest amount possible). I hope it remains, I really like 3D, and I'd miss it
I'd accept ditching 3D if, without it, the console can have great video quality (both graphics and the screens themselves)...although having both high definition and 3D would be top notch ;_;
The IGN Nintendo crew basically said/speculated that the 2DS is a NOA/NOE led decision with little to no input from NCL.
It just looks like an entire cake.I'll be there when they make a 2DS XL.
If the screen size is your priority and you can afford it, no question, go with the XL.
Thank you Cherno...
Even on Ebay, Im seeing 3DS XL for 186. 170 at the cheapest...
Its not gonna be fun tryna pick one up. And I'd rather have the black one... AND I want Pokemon ay yi yi

Calling others shills for liking the design or thinking it will be a success.Love how the usual Nintendo shills have convinced them that this is an awesome idea and that it looks awesome!
It's been routinely considered the worst looking console ever made. It's fucking huge! It's for kids? Really? It's a fucking brick! It's a budget model? Really? It's only $30 cheaper. If it had released at $99 or less then fair enough.
The 3DS has been an abortion of a console and a failure in Nintendo's vision for the future of handhelds. They've realised 3D was a waste. Next console, back to single screens please.
Hopefully this is a sign that Nintendo will be focussing less on gimmicks in their next consoles. A back to basics design would be great?
2DS is the biggest gaming joke since the twin stick add on...FFS Nintendo!
I got started on it then got bored. Lighter colors look great on 2DS IMO.

Calling for a back to basic design and calling the 2DS the biggest gaming joke since yada yada. A handheld forgoing stereoscopic 3D and a clamshell design for a most simple GB style design.
Should you be taken seriously or was that just another interesting string of consciousness from a very emotional GAFer?
Based on the posts I tend to see from this guy, he's not even worth responding to.
Will Nintendo's next gen system DS be called 2DS2? Or will it be called DS3 since it is the third DS gen?
Next gen DS is going to be another confusing mess namong wise -_-

I'll respond to just about anyone as long as they aren't insulting others. And even if they are occasionally. But I do prefer them to have at least a point that isn't mired in hyperbole.
Same here.I'll be there when they make a 2DS XL.

Who says it will be another DS?
After this gen, I can safely predict that the Wii and DS names will be left in the past.
it'll be something new
Next Gen's Nintendo handheld will be a tablet/console. This would be a logical step and an educated guess based on this slate design and the Wii U gamepad. I foresee them combining the two.
We will see a hybrid handheld/home system by Nintendo next. They can't cope making games for two systems, a one system that does both (basically a Vita with video-out, or a dock of some kind) makes sense.

Just bring back Gameboy brand.
