What the hell? Have you ever seen an iPad, iPhone or Vita? What protects those?.
If they can't read the sticker on the 2DS box that says "can play 3DS and DS games" then I don't even know what to say.The gamebox will say 3DS and the thing is 2DS, I wonder how consumers will react to that.
Because that would screw over how the games till now were viewed on DS and 3DS.If its not a clamshell why don't they have 1 large high quality screen instead of 2 small ones?
Except for the naming scheme, where employees are going to have a field day on explaining the fact that a Nintendo 2DS still plays DS and 3DS games.
What's the price tag, do we know?
Nintendo announces something clearly not aimed at the GAF crowd.
GAF confused why it exists.
Like clockwork!
I know you guys are in shock, but have you actually stopped to think about this? They're lowering the entry price of the system by $40 on the same day Pokemon launches. This isn't for us. It's aimed at a younger audience. They (and their parents) don't care if the system is ugly.
This is the smartest thing Nintendo has done in a long time.
Makes more sense when you realize it is not targeted at us, unit is made for gamers 7 and under.

Haha, what a joke. Nintendo has lost it. Would have been better off finding ways to reduce the price of the current 3DS.
Pick up the phone and fire Iwata now. These are the crazy actions of a company that's Lost touch with reality*.
*tad over dramatic but you know what I mean.
Since when has a iPad or iPhone been aimed at kids as a cheap portable gaming device.
The design is stupid. Plain stupid.
WAnT
Nobody uses the 3D anyway. No hinge is a little weird but the hinge was the flimsiest part of the DS (not sure about the 3DS). Price could be a little lower but that'll come soon enough. Not stylish but I don't choose game systems based on style.
Probably!
It looks like a door stop
The only thing that I can imagine while looking at this is that Nintendo enjoys giving me aesthetic nightmares.
the new games will feature the 2DS name, but yeah, that is a sticky situation.
