Its your choice bro and it totally depends on your personal interest. But if you wish to play games in 3d then its better you stick to 3ds console. Once in a while its quite a fun to play games in 3d and if you are not a huge fan of 3d then you can always switch off the 3d mode by using the 3d slider.

N2ds for smaller size and easy assessible card smaller stylus and bad speaker placement

I would't change it for a 2DS... even if i rarely use the 3D function.

The 2ds xl is much more comfortable to hold and I like that the headphone jack is in the center. The micro as card is easier to get to and there is no 3d effect to give me headaches anymore. Nothing but pluses for me. I sold my n3ds Black Friday mario edition one for the 2ds xl. Never look back. :)

It really depends on what you want it for. Getting a N2DS is the best for non-capture card recording for example, while if you just want to play games in general without recording, no need to bother. It could also be a good choice if you want to play the N3DS exclusive games and the like, but really, besides those two uses, it's not worth it, even if it's a good system.

i bought a new 2ds xl a few days after christmas at walmart for 50$
they had both 3ds xl and 2ds xl for 50$.

i was too late for the 3ds.

i love it. kind of wish i had a new 3ds xl. not only the games, but 3d video, homebrew games, 3d virtual boy emulator. etc.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
