Well, it's not like anything besides Nintendoland made good use of the Wii U's dual screen functionality.
More often than not it either added nothing to the gameplay experience, or detracted from it.
Removing it was a good decision.

Still makes it more difficult to emulate 3DS games.

The 2nd screen added a lot to Multiplayer but otherwise I would agree.

So we have a hybrid handheld console that runs at 720p when undocked. The 3DS family was a good thing at its time but the Switch makes it pointless. It doesn't seem like there would be any point for it. I thought the 3DS was finished in 2018. Can it be because they have no faith for the switch but it's doing well for now. What more games can possibly be come out for the 3ds? In my opinion, I don't think a lot of people will buy this system that's just my opinion. It pretty much looks like the bottom screen of a 3ds got ripped off and an iPhone attached to it.

The switch is not a hybrid handheld,its a hybrid home console which is completely different. 2Dsxl point is to make GWOP!

As Nintendo decided to stop selling N3DS non XL, and i have an O3DS since launch, i'm fairy inclined to get one, the black/blue is gorgeous!!!

It's intentional, if it was tight (which you can get if you really want by adjusting it yourself, iirc) it would wear out more quickly in normal use

I keep hearing people say this, "it's intentional", and it may well be, but where has any official source confirmed this?

Also, how can it be adjusted? I'd be really interested in knowing how to do this, thanks.

People are reacting like Nintendo disabled all their Old 3DS systems and put a gun to their heads with this surprise announcement, Jesus.....

To be fair, the old 3DS and 2DS systems are Crappy compared to new upgraded hardware and larger screens, that alone will push sales, not factoring in not all parents are gonna spend $300 not including games for a Switch for little kids and then pokemon alone is a driving force.
I think you might've read a little too far into my post my friend XD. I meant that Nintendo probably released the New 2DS XL so that they can squeeze the last bit of juice out of the 3DS money tree. Even though I do agree with your last point about how the Switch is $300, and how parents aren't going to spend money on a Switch when there is another system for half that price.

No, it's just Nintendo milking more money.

Remember kids, it's okay when Nintendo does it.

Oh boo fucking hoo, what business doesn't do it? That's why businesses exist, to make profits and why you have to be an informed consumer and not be a dipshit

Now seriously, it was a possibility. The 3DS had a successful market fwiw, it makes sense for Nintendo to wring it up as much as possible by launching another model


In any case, we'll see in three months if the thing's worth buying or not

I rather save my money for a Switch right now but all my 3DS games become useless when I have a Switch. My 3DS is broken as of now so that doesn't help either.
This is actually a great solution for people who can't experience 3D because of eyesight and other problems problems like me.

Douche canoe status confirmed. Now, take your pants off and show everyone the lie you have been hiding
Did you have a stroke while writing this? I don't understand any of it.

The 2DS is useless. Another cashgrab. I don't care if people want to buy it, it doesn't matter to me. I just think it's stupid.
