I don't get how people can say this is pointless... This is the smartest thing they did in a long time.
I think it is great how at this point Nintendo is going to provide a handheld-experience on so many different ways for people suiting their needs and also their financial-situation!
This thing strips everything that made the original 3DS pricier as it should have been: clamshell and 3D-screen!
In a nutshell:
-people who have enough money for a "normal system" that is more portable: 3DS
-people who have enough money for a "normal" but also want a bigger system (the ones who mostly play at home or on the workplace or something): 3DS XL
-people who don`t have enough money but still want to play 3DS-games: 2DS
I play every game with 3D but even if I wouldn't play the games in 3D I wouldn't buy a 2DS because of its design (without clamshell) and because my financial situation is good enough to get a normal 3DS and I would just rock the 3D-slider to the bottom. People who aren't in a fortunate situation like that but want to play 3DS-games have be content with a less premium device with no 3D (a feature that is pure luxury but completely optional in the first place!).
You can get from point A to point B with a VW and a Audi - So Volkswagen provided a two ways to do that: a luxurious way and a not so luxurious way. That`s why they are on top of their game!
So finally through this the install base will be broadened even greater too and the software sales will increase as well! Smart...

I thought at first it was fake, but its real.
It looks pretty useless: what is the point of 3d games if you play them in 2d.

I don't think it's pointless, or dumb - just like the GBA Micro and the PSPGo - they're making a device for everyone. Whether or not it looks pretty or if it'll be successful is one thing - but it's "there" for people who want it.

I'm actually really surprised at all of this hate.
This actually looks like a fantastic product, and offers excellent value at $130 new. It almost entirely removes the overhead required to enter the 3DS game market.
It's obviously aimed at a younger audience, as taking care of protecting your 3DS (XL) actually takes some doing, and indeed the hinges are a weak point. This one seems chunkier.
This is an extremely smart move by Nintendo, and I think it will be very successful.
Kids probably won't care which model they get as long as they can play their games, and the 3D isn't meant to be used by kids anyway.
Excellent move, CEO Iwata.

Saw this on FB, thought it was an april joke, looked like a cheap knockoff.
And now, it's real...
Definitely one of the most ugliest handheld I have ever seen.
The fact that it creat this means that the 3D in 3DS just lost it's importantce. Feels like it's gonna be less important.
To top it all off, it has one speaker... as in Mono sound. WTF????

They could of at least added a second slide stick n the lz n rz buttons. Or even better a port for the classic controller pro wiiu
Nintendo, I do everything I can do to make it so people think I like your shiz, and you keep making it harder and harder.
Sorry the inner critic surfaced a bit hard, let us try that one again.
There have been compelling games for the 3ds that use the 3d?

:3 it look so silly, but I like that >.< I wouldn't buy it, I just can't play a 3DS game with the 3D slider down. Although those shoulder buttons look quite comfortable (looks at the small clickey sound making buttons on the original 3DS)

Oh god.....
Why in the god damn world would I buy this to play 3DS games on it? ?!?!?!?!?!?
You add little bit more $$$ and you get a 3DS from Gamestop....
The real real question is, why would I buy a 3DS game to play it in 2D?
My god Nintendo..... =.=
P.S.
And not to mention that this thing is ugly as hell! It's like a Wii U controller with Dual Screens.
And what happens if I want to use the gamepad instead of the stick....to button layout is placed just miserably.....
This is just pathetic.

Dude, you really need to slow that gif down...here we go... the hipster has arrived
Not sure if you're trolling or serious. But assuming you're serious, you can get a used 3DS on Amazon or Ebay for cheaper than you can get the 2DS, there are also enough bundle deals out there that you can get an easily better deal on a new 3DS(and in some cases a 3DS XL) with a game like Mario Kart, Pokemon, Zelda, etc. That's just factoring in the monetary aspect of the device. Nintendo needs to price this at more like $80-90 to have a chance at success with it.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
