Check out the 2DS's Just 1 Screen!

[Kouen Hasuki]

Someone took apart a 2DS and discovered it uses just 1 screen O.o

New hardware means a few surefire things here on the internet. Someone will blend it.Someone will microwave it. And naturally, someone will take the hardware apart and dive into its guts. The 2DS is no exception!

Holy Crap O.o though does save costs I will say

That's two screens coupled together into one component, mate - you can clearly see the division between the top and bottom one.

2 screens in 1 frame.

Good move ninty.

Actually view the source article, you can see this division is removed to reveal what's indeed a single screen.

Hmm, if it's indeed a single screen, I'd like to see it powered then.

*Redacted after further study of the subject, it indeed is one physical screen with two logical screens displayed... well I'll be damned, what a waste. *

only one thing isn't right..... is there a small digitalizer for the "lower" screen or is a large digitalizer for the whole screen(which will be stupid if you ask me)???

QUICK EDIT: to clarify what I'm trying to say, the digitalizer is the touch component of the screen, WHICH IS COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF THE SCREEN THAT DISPLAY IMAGES, so no go saying "is a single screen, can't you see it??"

I thought we already knew this from the reveal thread...

Whatever, still looks dumb as fuck and I refuse to touch one. Ever. Lol

It's the DS, Nintendo! You forgot to put a dual screen in the system named for its dual screens! Everything about this handheld is a damned lie!

2DS actually. So it should have two pairs of screens. And the 3DS should have three.
Or if it just means "2D screen", I have a bunch of these systems. Neither run the games for this thing, though.

This is almost as terrible when Rockstar completely betrayed their loyal customers when GTA Online didn't work for a whole DAY.
