Hardware What is the point in having a 3ds these days

[wormdood]

I think you mean the 3D movie viewer app from the Nintendo developer site, cause what you're linking is a program for encoding, ripping and viewing moflex videos on PC and doesn't support 3D.

. . . .did you even read the link . . . let me quote it for you
"A player for moflex and mods files"
and either way you gotta test them first or waste a lot f time

Calm down, all I'm saying is that the program you linked doesn't work for the purpose of watching 3d moflex files on the 3DS or even encoding 3D video cause it doesn't support it, for that, people need the mobiclip encoder, a 3D SBS or OU video, and the 3D movie viewer or a CIA video injector.

BTW: you waste more time testing them on PC than copying the moflex files on your SD card and testing them on the 3DS cause the moflex player for PC doesn't even have a timeline, so you need to watch the whole video.

Just bought the Pokeball themed 2dsxl and it feels a lot cheaper than my other 3ds's. The speaker is bad, too. It's not just lower, the sound is tinny.

It's still cool, though.

my ears arent good as before (stupid Medicaments) so i dont care

 

[Sliter]

because 2DS is stupid
even the new 2DS that was to be better, they even can do something wrong like bad placing the cameras, styling the to part like a Iphone ...
and it's not even that much cheaper

A n3dsXL IPS display looks a lot better than any 2dsXL display. That's the only reason I am buying a second n3dsxl instead of the 2dsXL, otherwise I think the 2dsXL looks cooler in every other way. But I can only afford one second console and it has to have an IPS.

i dont care about TN or IPS

Same here. Really, how are these people complaining about TN screens holding their systems?:/ If you hold it normally and in front of you, you can see perfectly fine!

In 2017 everyone complains about everything lol. In the end there is a reason they are selling 3 different devices that all do almost the same thing... because people are a. buying them and b. Because not everyone is the same. I haven't gotten my new 2ds xl yet but I will say between my son's o2ds and my broken n3ds xl his is the more comfortable to hold and play without some accessory so I see why people would buy those (that and the price) I like the looks of the N2ds xl and the fact that the price was a little cheaper made me get it after breaking my n3ds xl besides that textured plastic brings back the nentendo feel it had from the gameboy to the gameboy advance and the snes to the game cube so there is a bit of nostalgia there too. But I can see the appeal of the 3ds as well since I had one and liked it just fine. I even liked the 3d effect sometimes but I don't feel it was worth the extra $50 plus the idea of the top screen being lighter seems like it would be an improvement.

I think it is funny how people say the 2ds is more fragile or made out of cheaper material and so on. My kids after put their old 2ds (people said the same thing about) threw hell and back and it's still kicking. My n3ds xl that I dropped one time and one time only didn't survive. I will also point out that the plastic the 2 2dses are made out of feels to.me like the stuff nentendo has been using for years to build consoles and controllers out of and no one has ever claimed any of that was cheap... infact most things nentendo make are bullet proof...I know as a kid I put everything they made through hell. I have thrown snes controllers possibly stepped on them and so on. Now I am not saying they will hold up to nes/snes controller abuse but I find it laughable that people call them fragile compared to the 3ds just because they use a different plastic (again the style plastic nentendo has used before) a plastic that to me feels more suited to abuse than the stuff on the 3ds.

the 2DS is very well built, no one said otherwise, but the N2DSXL on the other hand is really fragile

the N2DS XL isnt really fragile but not as good as N3DS XL

A lot of the time I don't hold it normally, I leave it running on the bed for a minute while I look something up online, and from that kind of angle the screens look like ass. Needing to look at your 2dsXL screen dead on to avoid the TN effect kind of defeats the whole point of not bothering with 3D imo. It probably is neurotic to be bothered by it but it ruins the experience for me for some reason.

I wonder if some of you actually tried the 2DSxl or if you're just regurgitating what reviewers are saying about it. I haven't had a single lag drop playing ultra moon 2v2 battles.

Theres not the 3ds is at the end of its life and the next pokemon game will be on the switch.

There's more than just Pokemon you know... The 3DS has some great games! Also, this thread is asking the point of having a 3DS over a 2DS...
