Nintendo announces the 2DS

[ken28]

Looks like they let the Wii mini designers loose on the 3DS. The mono speaker says it all.

its stereo though.

 

[sephirothmk]

Jesus, what are Nintendo smoking? I want some of it!

Was GBAtemp around back when the DS was originally announced? I'd be willing to bet that there was a bunch of negative feedback about the two screens being a silly gimmick that would cause all the GBA momentum to be lost.

We were, we kind of did but were more interested in laughing at Nintendo's "three pillars" nonsense.

Nintendo what are you doing?
Nintendo! Sthap!

 

[tronic307]

its stereo though.

If you put on headphones.

 

[ken28]

If you put on headphones.

never mind, just read somewhere that is would be stereo none the less, but looking at the dataspread this was a wrong info.

 

[Parasite X]

Seriously wtf that is the ugliest design for a handheld the 3DS look WAY better if you were to make a clamshell design then I might buy it only because my touch screen on my 3DS is broken

 

[Hielkenator]

Yeah! It's GDMN Ungly!
I LIKE IT!!!

 

[Yepi69]

Am I the only one who likes it?

 

[Coto]

The idea is awesome, the 2D screen was needed and the designer was inspired by virtual boy night glasses

Nice move Nintendo!

Although i have to admit that i don´t really like the design and the fact it can´t be folded...
Still i strongly believe it will be big success for Big N.

What firmware version will it have on launch eh?

 

[Chocolina]

As ridiculous as this is... I'm still surprised about the price tag. This is a $99 or less product in my opinion.

 

[GBA rocks]

Do effing want.
Non foldable nintendo handhelds ftw.
Throwback to good old days.
p0rn for collectors.
The Micro of this generation. Sad that the DS gen never had a "Micro". Yeah this technically plays DS games but it's not the same.
Oh, wild design, appreciated.

Am I the only one here who likes it? I just wish with all that added space, they would add a second control pad.

 

[NfoMonster]

cant be closed/folded, bleh i dont really like it

I wonder why game companies keep releasing products that no one wants.
People were fine with GBA SP, yet Nintendo released GBA Micro.
People had their PS3 slim, yet Sony released PS3 ultra slim.
There was no need, yet Nintendo released Wii Mini.
Everybody loved PSP 3000, Sony released the PSP Go, and later released another unnecessary model, PSP Street.

Nintendo could have released a second model for 3DS and/or 3DS XL and it would be perfectly reasonable,
I would buy a 3DS XL lite or 3DSi XL, but 2DS seem like the new GBA Micro, but in a worse scenario.
I'm not gonna buy it, no one I know is willing to buy it, even if it's for their children.
People are just gonna avoid it, like most of the products I mentioned.

 

[DAZA]

YEAH..... OMG nintendo..... thank you so much I have always wanted a handheld gaming door stop..


PFFFF who is going to buy this piece of cheese looking electronics jesus.. it is going to sink like the last product they released

Goodbye nintendo.... I knew you well and will always remember the NES and SNES times when you understood gaming to the masses haha

 

[Fear Zoa]

Even as a huge Nintendo fan I can't figure out what the hell Nintendo is thinking...maybe its a Japan thing?

 

[RedCoreZero]

Has to be a joke

You can already switch the 3d off

._.

 

[AlanJohn]

why
I'm not even asking why I'm asking why
why seriously
