I hate it, for a few reasons:
- the 2DS was stupid if it weren't for the fact that was cheaper than the 3DS. Sure there is no 3D, but the 3DS came out with parental control to lock it. This 2DS XL is basically the same thing, except it's $150 instead of $200. Why would the n3DS still cost so much? Oh, right, the 2DS XL.
- the design is so anonymous that 4Chan is blushing
- with this thing out, everyone will forget about the regular n3DS, the one with cover plates. Believe it or not, I loved these and was hoping someone would eventually make custom ones. Not anymore now.
- did they REALLY put the speakers where the headphone jack is???????
- lastly, 3D support is going down the drain. Yes, I use it to play. Yes, I use it most of the time, unless the game does a very shitty job with the framerate.
Then again, this will help the greatest dual-screen handheld console to stick around for some more time. Hopefully something more than shovel-ware will come out for the system. Hell, maybe some n3DS/n2DS only games will come out and leave the o3DS to the dust.
