Can't wait for the 1DS guys. Bring on 2DSi XL

woow that's an ugly gameboy
ninty:

now for sale the gameboy ds2

its diagonal, the buttons are not beside the touch screen so the upper screen becomes a 'downer' screen, you have to put the 'ds2' in a pocket to keep it safe because you can't close it

and where do you put the ds/3ds card at the top is ar really bad place? the left/right buttons have the size of a gamecube console

an 3ds games without 3d sucks mario bros 3ds becomes a normal ds game and some games even require 3ds

Okay, what the fuck is up with the gaming industry. They can't count for shit lately...

"Alright class, let's go over this again! Count to 3 please."

Nintendo: 1, 3, 2.

Ubisoft: 1, 2, Judgement, Redemption, 3.

Microsoft: 1, 360, One

Valve: 1, 2... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH-

Hm... Well, 2DS makes sense in terms of naming.
1. It's only 2D.
2. It still has dual screens.
3. It's kind of the in-between of DS and 3DS, much like how a x.5 of games and manga chapters comes out occasionally to tell what happened in between or something..

My issues.
-It's a portable/handheld device.. It does not look as if it will fit in my pocket. Not in the least. Everything from GameGear to Game Boy to the original DS and PSP have fit in the majority of my pockets but I think if I tried my pockets would give up on life and dump all my [stuff] out on the street.
-Also, as it's lacking in a clam shell design it lost brings out a problem that they fixed when they designed the GBA SP. There isn't anything in the design to protect the screens.
-Lastly, probably not a big deal for most people.. But paranoid people like me prefer a hardware switch to turn off all connectivity. Dx

The normal 3DS "hardware switch" doesn't work when the 3DS is off, so it's just a way to send a command to the software. It won't make any difference considering the same option will be available in the software somewhere.

at lease it has a mic

The only thing that would redeem this thing is if it shipped with 4.5, had no region lock and also came with a 3ds so you don't have to use it.

Hm... I didn't know that about the 3DS (mostly because I don't plan to get one any time soon) but that's good to know. Thanks.

When I look at it up-close, I like the design even more for some reason. Definitively gonna consider buying it since I hardly use the 3D feature.

 

[FireSeel]

If it has bigger screens than the regular 3ds, I might but it.

EDIT- I'd also get one for collection purposes

 

[tj_cool]

Not something I would buy, but then again it's aimed at children

Also; fact sheet: http://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/images/projects/flower/3ds/FAMILY_A4_TABLE_UK.pdf

Battery life appears to be somewhere between 3DS and 3DSXL
Screen size is exactly the same as the normal 3DS

 

[jonesman99]

Based Reggie and Based Satoru, explain this $#!+, plz.

 

[Vengenceonu]

Nintendo is smart though. They did this so no one can justify another price drop on the 3DS/3DS XL. This way they wont have to do a damn thing.

Someone should email Gateway and ask if there are now Plans for a Gateway 2DS ​

why. did. ninty. do. this.

My friend who likes microsoft and sony will humiliate me now.

 

[Tokopimv]

It looks so stupid, and I don't know why a little voice inside me is telling me I still want it... xD
good call nintendo, make a 3d system, then make the same thing without 3d because the idea wasn't as great as advertised.

 

[Apache Thunder]

You know what I see wrong with this device? It still has two cameras on the back...WHY IN THE FLYING F**K....I don't even...

Seriously, why make it more expensive by keeping a feature that they can't even use? Take 3D photos but can only view them in 2D??!!

Be like a Wii mini that had internet but could only upload and not download.....

My brain is about to explode from the incredible amount of stupid in this product design....

At least the Wii Mini made sense from a budget design perspective...

 

[trumpet-205]

Ugh, the design alone is horrific. How come Nintendo didn't use a slider design (like PSP Go) on this one?

I've got to say, your signature's gif pretty much encapsulates the whole problem with Nintendo.
