The Nintendo 2DS

more pics of the system show




Quite suprisingly today Nintendo announced alot major news today. Starting with whats above, what your seeing is the next iteration of the 3DS. No its not a joke, this thing will be in stores October 12th and sold at the price of 129$ or £109.99 in Europe. The handheld will not feature 3D. The 2DS still has the 3DS's backwards compatibility with DS games and will still be able to play all downloadable and retail games. It'll be available in both Red and blue.

*Interesting Fact*
Its just one big touchscreen only the top screen is protected by plastic. it looks like their are two screen when the casing just makes it look like that.

Now here is the trailer:

My Opinion show
Before you rage and say stuff like "WTF is wrong with Nintendo!" or "Whats the point of this" think about it for a minute logically. This handheld is clearly marketed to the younger kids and to the people who didn't buy a 3DS because of its "3D" feature. Now those people can buy a 3DS. Its the perfect handheld for those little kids who still have a DS because of its really low price. Even the design is pretty smart for them since knowing how my sister is with my DSI XL she always likes closing it with a lot of force. Whats also great is the timing it's comming out which is the same day Pokemon X and Y launch. Many Parents will be buying the 3DS for the fist time for their children just for this game and at the price they are going to sell it at will be quite a lot. This is a pretty good response to PS Vita's recent price drop.

One thing I will agree with for the majority of you is the design of the handheld and how bad it looks. The handheld looks like it would be uncomfortable to use since how flat it is. Another thing is how big it is now that it looks like it's not portable at all. The naming is also an issue since i feel like people whi are not familiar with gamming will now the difference between this and the 3DS. They might confuse it with a new handheld or something. nonetheless i plan on buying one once my sister starts bothering me that she wants a 3DS.

What? A 2DS?

But yea, the 2DS could be used for people who has trouble viewing 3D images, or for little kids younger than 6.

The 2DS looks Ugly. @_@
Static is best villager.
Nin10dude789 (2013-08-29 03:56:11)
I actually like the design, but dispite that it cannot close, so you must be asking how is it going to use StreetPass and SpotPass. It has a ''Sleep Switch'' making the system go to sleep mode, or wake it up.

The Home button looks amazing and better than the 3DS and 3DS XL, Start and Select are moved back at the bottom of the A B X Y buttons.

L and R buttons are bigger and easier to reach.

Screen sizes is the same like on the original 3DS.

2DS can use all 3DS games, download, etc and DS and DSiWare, but the difference is playing in 2D.

Camera will still take 3D pictures so other users can see it in 3D.

Overall, kind of useless. I'm not getting it for 1 reason: 3D.

It's like someone playing Super Mario 3D in 2D
Star Fox 64 3D in 2D
Ocarina of Time 3D in 2D

Pointless.

However, it might be usefull for people who don't like the 3D feature, having trouble viewing 3D images, or for younger users.

Seeing as the whole point of handhelds is portability...yeah. I don't know about you but I'd rather play a home console over a handheld if they're in the same room.

Wii U price cut: Good. Makes my likelihood of getting it go from a "hell no" to a "maybe."

When I get a job I'll think about it.

I thought my brother was joking.

Isn't the 3DS already selling like hotcakes? Why do we need a new model?
The secret shall be shared. PM for more info.
Mewtwo21 (2013-08-29 10:52:28)
^to crush the hopes of sony from ever comming near it.

@pikarceus
its not marketed for you so don't complain.
Screamer (2013-08-29 10:56:02)
How do more systems improve sales and who is the system marketed to? @Mewtwo
The secret shall be shared. PM for more info.
Mewtwo21 (2013-08-29 10:58:38)
to kids that are between 4-8 years of age, and parents/people who complained about 3D being damaging to the eyes since the beginning of handheld's life

also its simple to make money with this one since it cost practically nothing to make.

Nintendo did it with their DS(the fat DS,DS Lite, Dsi , Dsi xl) and like you said their Gameboy Adv. also had different iterations. So really it shouldn't be a suprise to anyone if Nintendo makes different versions of their handhelds. Especially weird or "unnecessary" ones.
