Hacking Nintendo 2DS October 12th

That thing is just hideous.
I can imagine dumb parents asking all kinds of stupid questions.

Poor retailers.

ninty know how to bully retailers/parents/kids all in one

ninty know how to bully retailers/parents/kids all in one

Indeed they do.
Couple of months ago, I heard a father getting mad at a retailer cause he claimed the Wii also plays Wii U games and that it was ridiculous he'd needed to get a Wii U for Wii U games.

Good Job Ninty!

At-least no Ds snapped in half issues.

It looks like its made of recycled leftovers

I have every type of DS BNIB so have to add this to my collection, I can see it being worth a few££$$ in 20 years.

 

[zerofalcon]

i want to know the screen how many inch ?

Is it like the 3ds or bigger like 3ds xl

Same size as the regular 3DS

 

[johnnywalker]

It is like a PSP Street. Mono sound sucks.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

It will likely have the 5.1 3DS firmware or higher when it comes out, just to block gateway probably.

 

[BenRK]

I love how some people see this and automatically go "Can I pirate games on it?"

You need to change your priorities...

The design made me smile and check the date

The XL have better battery life... With this kind of concept, they could have a big battery in the system, but no, they prefer crap battery life & ugly system...
Even if I can't see 3D effect (eyes problem), buying a 3DS XL seams to be more money worthy, (and 3DS XL can be 4.5, so you can have gateway, too).

2DS was the biggest fail from nintendo

nope, there is stille the virtual boy

Things wrong with the 2DS:
1. That fucking design. How do you hold L and R and press the touchscreen at the same time?
2. The fact that this wont feel good in the hands. Like wtf it's too big on the top and too small on the bottom.
3. Most people already play 3ds games in 2D. And your making 2D the selling point?
4. Oh so what happens if it drops? Does the screen break?
5. How the fuck is this going to fit in a pocket. God damnit Nintendo I need my play coins!!!
6. Waste of time. Even poor people wouldn't buy this.
7. At least make the screens bigger.
I'll be looking forward to smash videos of this on YouTube.

I suppose this thing isn't like a brick as it is a bit slope. Now if you play games where you have to turn the 3DS sideways, wouldn't that be unhandy as hell on this thing?

 

[Apache Thunder]

I made a GIF/Video to commemorate my hatred of this product design. I do not approve.



It has useless cameras on the back so you can take 3D photos/videos that you can't view on the same device you recorded them on. It's ugly, only one speaker, and is still too expensive for what it is.

I think the Virtual Boy has some serious competition.

Nah, this thing is already more successful than the Virtual Boy, even without actually launching.

ed:sorry didn't see page 3 yet when posting, where the VB was already brought up... twice!

Typical parent - "Where do i buy 2DS games from? There's 3DS over there but no 2DS games..."

 

[mystril]

It's cheap and it plays 3DS games though the 2DS naming sense is a bit bummer.

2DS $129
3DS $179
3DS XL $209
Vita $199
Source: Amazon

$129 does look attractive. $179 = 2DS + Pokemon X/Y. $$$.

Typical parent - "Where do i buy 2DS games from? There's 3DS over there but no 2DS games..."

Now that got me thinking. A kid asks their parent - "MOM, I WANT A 2DS!"
Mom: "Why sure, you cute little Johnson! I'll get you 2DS games, also!"
Kid: "OKAY!"
Store:
Mom: "Thank you very much for helping me, sir. Now where are the 2DS games, i'll make my little boy get his favorite game!"
Guy: "SIGH, NOT AGAIN!!"

Guy: Bring left over DS games. There they are, all in 2D.

Personally I'm waiting for the 2ds XL
(Im joking)
