Nintendo announces the 2DS

This looks pretty good to me.

LOL exactly my thoughts
I was thinking, those people in the ads must be thinking shit

MY EYES. That thing is horrific. Could have at least got the extra thumbstick and triggers in there..

It looks like a door wedge lol

though like I mentioned in the EU version of this post... I can see myself getting one of these abominations as I couldn't bring myself to buy a 3DS as the 3D made my eyes hurt too much, some argued just turn the 3D effect off but then I would be paying for a feature I couldn't use this unit would solve that issue for me

MARIO ON SONY

Hah, I read that as "MARIO ON SONIC".

Anyway, it's best if they make the L+R buttons more secure, and a second circle pad, maybe?

 

[Ethevion]

It looks ugly, but I think it'll succeed at that price.

 

[tickle.my.pickle]

dafuq is this...
shoulder button looks good tho..

probably changed some internal parts to counter GW3D...

I am gonna be honest.
I barely ever use the 3D function.
But selling a 3DS without 3D? They must be saving quite a bit of money.
2DS! The device that prints money

Agree. It's for people who are averse to the 3D, and for small kids (not as easy to break, and cheaper). It will sell just as well as Nintendo expects it will, and they will profit. That's all that really matters.

It's shaped like a cheese wedge, but I think it could be a good idea. Slightly cheaper than the original 3DS, this could be what helps Pokemon fans (2DS/Pokemon X/Y release on 10/12) transition from DS to 3DS... err, 2DS. Looks are a small price to pay for a lower price, in my opinion. I laughed at the Wii Mini, I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Nintendo, when I said I wanted a 3DS without the 3D gimmick I didn't mean this!
Not like this..

 

[Gabbynaruto]

That thing... it's ugly... I wouldn't want to be seen playing on something like that. So, still 3DS (XL) for me...

 

[EyeZ]

OMG! wtf were they thinking of?

On a more serious note: i guess for those that have taken a dislike to the 3DS effect, nah fuck it, it's shite.

 

[Ryukouki]

It looks like a doorstopper.

 

[Terenigma]

I hate to repeat a joke that's prolly been said already but..... Did I fall asleep and wake up on the 1st of April? What the fuck is that?! That is the ugliest console iv ever seen and it doesn't fold into a nice clam shape? That's one thing I always loved about the nintendo console because it protected the buttons/screen in my bag. Also what the hell is up with the button placement? ew... omg... this has to be a joke. please someone tell me this a joke...

Gahars
Foxi4 you have to give an opinion.
Gahars, you have to make a joke here, now.
Never mind, I guess.

Price isn't bad, and it's probably for all those parents still paranoid about letting their kids use the 3D effect.

The D-Pad looks kind of nice too, but there's no way in hell I'm trading my 3DS for that.

OK, IS THIS A JOKE OR NOT.

 

[porkiewpyne]

I wished for a 2nd analog stick but you told me it'd make the 3DS too big. And now you give me this. Really? :\

OK, IS THIS A JOKE OR NOT.

The video is on Nintendo's official channel so yeah it's not a joke.
