Hardware Is a 2DS worth right now?

alexj9626 · Sep 25, 2017

Hi guys, so let me explain myself. I had a 3DS, i loved it, but i sell it for a Nintendo Switch, wich i love as well. To be honest the last 2-3 months i didnt even touched my 3DS. I finished Pokemon Moon and just occasionally turn it on for online battles.

So the 2DS is pretty cheap, 150$ on Amazon is a great deal for me and of course i will "hack" it for the games. Now, the thing is, is it worth getting one right now? The Switch is taking the spotlight and i have a good PC for Citra (trying Metroid rn, really good), but its not the same, obviously.

Should i buy one now that is cheap, or maybe is just the nostalgia? How much would it hold till is discontinued? Is it redundant to have a Switch + 3DS?

What you guys think?

Do you mean 2ds or n2ds XL? 150 for 2ds is expensive

I have a N2DS XL and i'm very happy, buy it if you want play this games.

For Switch homebrew, still have a few years to be totally funcional.

I'm assuming you mean a New2DS, in which case I say is worth it. You'd need a compatible flashcart/hardmod/friend with hacked system to hack yours though

By all means if it is the N2DS then its a good price. Correct me if i'm wrong but i think it came out with 11.4 so you would have to go with the ntrboot method.

i got a N2DS XL (i had an hacked N3DS i did a DSI Waretransfer and now i have a N2DS XL with B9S and Luma on 11.6 sysNAND)

I have been waiting N2DS XL since forever. I am one of those people who think 3D feature is useless. If I had not bought my o3ds I would buy a N2DS XL now.

I have an o2DS doorstopper and I love that thing. It feels like a real GameBoy! I do want to upgrade to the n2DSXL soon though.

2ds is still the best form factor for large/adult hands.
better shoulder buttons and the controls are moved up compared to the folding models.
i also like how the "hinge" or screen divider is very slim on 2ds.

o2ds is garbage for WHERE the buttons are located. It is the only nintendo device I've ever owned that feels like shit in my hands.
n2ds xl feels great. Like a proper portable device. The controls are all placed where they should be for ease of use.

The old2DS is pretty good if you want to cut some wood or something.
The n2DS is completely worth it if you don't care about the 3D effect and just want a n3DS.

New 2DS XL is awesome
