Nintendo announces the 2DS

[Master Mo]

Or, you know, you can just get a cheap 3DS second hand.

I swear, even bullshit looks better than this.

I am serious and I don`t understand how in any shape or form this could be trolling! They provide an option. It is not like they are discontinuing the one model and continuing with a model that you are considering worse! Personally I consider you remark trolling...

Used market is for Nintendo as a cooperation uninteresting hardware-wise. It`s the mom that goes out and gets her children a 3DS and thinks "Wow, 180 dollars? That`s too expensive!" and is actually kinda OK with a 130 bucks price point.

Bundles cost more then a regular system (at least here in europe): 3DSXL 180€ / 3DSXL+SM3dL 210€ - you get a discount on the game but I think you are talking about non official bundles!

This thing will sell crazy with Pokemon by it side. It's cheap and aimed at kids.

Now Nintendo has 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS. They have an expensive bigger models for adults which has been selling well, normal 3DS inbetween and an entry model for kids. They are making profit off each model too. I already stated its a smart move to lure in more kids launching with Pokemon.

I'm buying another 3DS XL for Pokemon, not this one as it's not targeted at me. Ugly, but a kid may love it. Sorry 3D is too good to give up. It really adds to the visuals.

This is the stupidest thing I've seen all day. And I was in Coventry city centre this morning. So as you can imagine, this is up against some pretty stiff competition.

Reminds me of the modded portable N64s.

I personally don`t need the 2DS because I like the 3D-effect and I have a 3DS, but I think it is really a good system for children.
Don`t complain about a system that is not made for you. You could complain if Nintendo said that they will sell the 2DS instead of the 3DS(XL). But this is not the case. If you want a 3DS, it doesn`t affect you at all that there is also the 2DS.

Pictures Beeyatchs!

Just look at the thickness and length of that thing.

Well, maybe it's easier to focus on the screen and buttons, cause they're next to each other?
(kind of like GBA or PSP, not that I had any issues with DS or GBA SP layout)

It looks familiar.. like some kind of ancient device, except with 2 screens.
Was it dream cast? what name did it go by?

How do you put this in sleep mode?

Guess they are really going for the 4ds next.
"Squirtle use Water Gun" turns on 4d switch, "sweet I was thirsty"

4DS?
the 4th Dimension is the time.
will it have its own time continuum?
jk ^^

well.. first I have heard about that, I thought it's a bad joke..
then watched this Video about it.. made by nintendo itself.

does it has something the 3ds has not?

They have a button for SLEEP and POWER.

It's ugly but...



...it's not exactly aimed at anyone who would be on this board. It's aimed at little kids who would be (more) likely to break the hinge.

Then again, this is the internet so... have fun tearing it apart.

I think breaking the screens is a bigger problem than busting a hinge.

so stupid

 

[Xexyz]

For kids under 7 or 6 for Pokemon X/Y?

 

[Lestworth]

I read the post and thought, o well thats cool for those people that cant stare at a 3D screen for to long, and have yet to get a 3ds anyways like myself. I watched the video getting pretty excited, and that design. GOOD LORD THAT DESIGN!!! I left hope, I prayed they slapped on the 2nd joystick to make up for the horrid design choice. NAWP.

What the fuck was Nintendo thinking? it looks like a modified Wii U pad.

 

[tronic307]

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

 

[bowser]

So will this thing have modified firmware? The 3D setup steps won't make sense when you first turn it on.

 

[Harsky]

Now I've got questions. There's probably one or two DS games that require the DS console to be closed. Phantom Hourglass comes to mind so if they don't have access to another DS console to finish that puzzle they they're screwed.

Sleep mode switch.

 

[lukinoz]

Well I think that the Sleep slider will the firmware think, that the console is "closed".
Edit: Guy above was faster in answering the qustion.
