Nintendo have finally cornered the market for <7 year olds with adult man hands
It looks incredibly ergonomic for adult hands, and quite durable.
The only thing that I can imagine while looking at this is that Nintendo enjoys giving me aesthetic nightmares.
Who in their right mind would design something that looks like this?
And since the unit doesn't have to close anymore is there any legitimate reason why the screens are still different sizes?
I really hope this won't undermine Pokemon XY sales.
I don't think there's a single game that relies on that significantly.
I play all my games on the 3DS XL with the 3D fully off.
I have a 3DSXL and I want one. I fucking hate clamshell. I do not play my games outside the house and this look more comfortable on the couch to me.
honestly I will be getting one because my wife uses my XL all fucking day for animal crossing and @ $120 dollars its an easy decision.
Nintendo will sell so many of these.
Super Mario 3D Land.
With 3D off, you are at a direct disadvantage.
Real talk guys, my 6 y/o has been begging for a 3DS for quite some time.
He's gunna get a 2DS.
I'm going to play Zelda LTTP2 on it.
And I won't be ashamed.
I still think this GIF needs to be reposted every page:

Am I in the minority that doesn't use the tip of their thumb for buttons and analog sticks? That still looks too small.
This is literally stupid. I'm sorry, but this reeks of Wii U slack pick-up. It's an elongated GBA with another screen...

God damn this thread. People getting bent over a budget version for kid. We even have people complaining about no 2nd analog, again for the budget version for kid. Come the fuck on.
i beat 8-crown in 6 lives with 3d off a few weeks ago after having not touched the game since last october
At least it's not as bad as the Game Boy Micro.
I was thinking about getting it...... until I saw how ugly it is.
The atheistic design of this handheld shows how out of touch Nintendo is right now. Consumers expectations have changed due to our new handheld overlords (apple).
I said the same thing when they launched the 3DS.
Agreed. It's just hideously ugly though. Cost reduction is the main thing here IMO; that 3d screen was obviously a huge portion of the cost of the device.This device makes a lot of sense:
- Tablet design to play into the booming tablet market, less intimidating for children/familes that are only used to tablets.
- Unessential features (3D, stereo sound) cut to drive production cost down, so it can be sold to children/families for cheap.
- Sell alongside Pokemon for mass casual appeal.
- No vulnerable hinges kids can easily damage.
- No second stick because that would be stupid. This is a budget 3DS, not an upgrade.
- No 3DS brand to avoid "why can't this [3DS Lite] not play 3D? I want my money back!" questions.
The only two things I can't wrap my head around are
- It's designed to cut production costs as much as possible, yet there's still a 3D camera in there?
- Pokemon is a system seller, it's gonna sell a shit ton of 3DSs anyway. If I was Nintendo, I wouldn't want to give them a cheap option.
If you are not a kid/don't have kids/already have a 3DS (XL) you are not supposed to be interested in this device. You are not the target audience.
You and I have VASTLY different ideas as to what constitutes "ergonomic." Look at the right thumb. My hand is cramping just looking at it.
There is a big icon on the 2DS box that says "Plays all DS and 3DS games."All 3DS retail game packaging says "Nintendo 3DS", wont this 2DS confuse general consumers?
What about the displays that say "Only on 3DS"?
This new slate handheld is fucking ugly. It just is. I also don't see it as a good move, from Nintendo.
It's actually funny though: it's as if Nintendo is telling the people that wanted a 3Dless 3DS, that they listened. Nintendo responded by removing the clamshell, lowering the cost and giving them the ugliest handheld I've ever seen. Don't like 3D? Have this monstrosity!
$130.00 + Tax ~8% = $140.00
...
how can kids even hold that shit, the analog placement right above the d-pad is on the least ergonomic things i've ever seen.
