Hardware I'm trading in my 3DSXL console for a 2DS!

Are you trading in a 3DS for a 2DS?

I've just now noticed that warning down there. Does the 2DS somehow inflict damage upon its user? :unsure:

I did this because I had 2 3DS XLs. one was plain blue (thats the one I traded in for the 2DS) and the other is the Animal Crossing Poptart design. If you're trading it in cause you have a spare; I say go for it. if not then I most likely wouldn't.

After playing Pokemon X for the last 3 hours straight I will say that I don't have hand cramps and that was worth it for me alone.

after reading this thread, remembering that you're the guy who got busted by Nintendo, reading your remark about you being a guy with big hands, I have to ask...

are you this guy?

On this subject, anyone ever noticed that putting the slider to off doesn't really turn off the 3D effect, but just sets it to minimum. If you tilt the screen slightly left or right, you will still get the usual blur associated with the 3D effect out of focus. Now, if you set parental controls to restrict the 3D display, and start the game in 2D (without entering the pin), bingo, no more blurs, no matter how much you tilt the screens. I tested that on my XL. I should try on the regular 3DS too.​
Not on my XL. Move the slider all the way down and 3D is absolutely off. You can test this with Zelda OOT, as the graphics actually get slightly better in 2D mode.

This. If you can't get the 3D to turn off then you're doing something wrong.

Also, if you so desire, you can set up parental controls and leave everything enabled except 3D. Then when you start up games it'll ask if you want to enter your PIN to use 3D, just hit no and it'll run in 2D regardless of the 3D slider.

I hate the 3D, it makes me dizzy and I never use it. But at the same time, the 2DS is an awful pile of garbage, the whole selling factor (for me) of the DS/3DS systems was that you could close them and put them in your pocket. Changing it to a tablet layout is just stupid.

Well this is lame, Club nintendo gives you 160 coins for any nintendo console except for the 2DS. You only get 100 coins for the newest console the 2DS. You also get 100 for Wii, DSi, or DSiXL.

Why would anyone do that? The only upside to the 2DS is price. If you already have a 3DS XL then you are not gonna save any money by trading it in. Everything else about the 2DS is complete fail. I just don't get it.

Some may prefer the ergonomics of the 2DS.

At least one poster seems to think it does 2D better than a 3DS.

It has a bigger memory card standard and better battery life than a 3DS.

The 2DS is perfectly fine in my experience. I prefer my 3DS XL because I like the 3D and bigger screens but head to head I would probably prefer the 2DS over the 3DS if the 3D effect is not important.
