created for younger kids, more compact and well...has the style of a gameboy??? xD

what are your thoughts on the newest addition to the 3DS family?
 
I think it's a very clever decision - if you think it's ridiculous, chances are it wasn't made for you because it really is more for kids who might break the hinge on the 3DS, people who don't use the 3D effect and/or people who have money issues.

Also, I think it looks quite neat as long as you have a case for it and if I was getting myself a handheld now, I would probably go for the 2DS.
 
I thin it was a nice idea, especially for those who have no interest in 3D. I haven't got a DS yet, but I enjoy watching/playing in 3D so I'll still be picking up a 3DS.
 
It doesn't look the best and to be honest I think it just looks like another poor attempt by Nintendo to create more revenue
 
I just took a look at this thing on Amazon, and to be honest, I'm not impressed with what I'm seeing. Besides that, I just got a 3DS XL about a month ago and I'm loving that, so I'm sticking with that. Besides, a big console like that that doesn't fold up and you can't pocket it? Original Game Boy all over again, basically, but at least with the original Game Boy you could put that in your jacket pocket.

Agreed. I don't understand the bit about it being better for kids because when I was a kid, I didn't go around opening my GBA SP as far as it could go nonstop to break the hinges. In fact, I still have mine and it works just fine. If you're worried about your kid breaking the hinges on a 3DS well, then your kid is probably too young to be playing the games for it. 3D option can always be turned off, too. I personally never use it because it bothers my eyes. The only pro to the 2DS that I see is that it's $30 cheaper. Other than that, I think it's pretty ugly/pointless.
 
The 2DS is a good option for kids, but for me I like the compact design that easily can fit in my pocket with the 3DS, even the 3DS XL fits nicely in my pocket.
 
I think it's nice for the kids, but kind of made Nintendo look bad on giving up on 3D so quickly.
 
Honestly, looks so bricky. Can it even fit in a pocket easily? I meant it's suppose to be portable isn't it?

That's what I was thinking at one point too. Because the 3DS just came out what, 2 years ago?

The 2ds is ok, it comes in way more designs and colors then the 3DS.

The 2DS appeals to a certain demographic, and I don't think it's a bad idea. It will save Nintendo some money (from having to produce 3D displays) and will save the customer money. It does have an unusual design that seems fragile (considering there's no protection for the screens) but looks like it has a solid build quality. I guess if anyone had a small budget and didn't care about 2D, then the 2DS is for them.

While it leaves the screens unprotected, it's much better built, meaning the console itself is much less likelly to break.
So yeah, better in some aspects, worse in some. It kind of evens out. I haver had any problems with my GBC screen, but a lot of friends had a lot of problems with the hinges on the DS and DS lite.

I've never thought it was a great idea on Nintendo's part. Its just kinda silly, but I guess if you have children who want a 3DS, 2DS would be a nice thing to get them. Still its kinda weird I'd say

If you want to give a 3DS to a 6-year old who can't use the 3D effect and might possibly break the hinge, it is a great idea. I have held one, and it is quite comfortable. The durability is also phenomenal, having the Nintendo quality you expect.

I own at least 2 of each version of the whole DS family. And in all honestly i have made the move from my 3ds to my 2ds.
Im not a fan of the 3ds xl. Though i own multiply for collection reasons.
But i love the feel of the 2ds. I find it way more comfortable for prolong play.
Im not a "young child" im an adult. Yet i still chose this system over the others.
I have no problem with portability. The way the system feels in my hands its so great.
I dont have money problems so the cost wasnt a selling factor for me. I originally just got the peach pink and sea green limited ones for collection reasons. But now made the switch. Love the system.

2ds is sort of full of disadvantages not a good option for the grown ups cause this console is made mainly purpose is for children who dont know how to take care of these 3 ds console and for the one that dont use at all 3d effect. I talking this based on my exprience using this handheld console , the grip.is not so bad but there is something that it lack like the speaker ( from stereo in 3ds to mono). The exact reason from what I heard that 2ds is cheaper than 3ds ..affordable, however now the 2 ds price is exactly or mostly like the price of one 3ds ..which do you prefer? It all ups to how you think when choosing between both of them..thats all:thumbsup:

It could me be better if they only take off the 3d effect but still having the same design as the normal 3ds. Personaly im not a fan of these 3d effects but because the design of the 2ds is ridiculous, i bought a 3ds xl instead.

I don't like the 2ds the way it is,i don't like how the buttons and the controls are on the top screen and I don't like how the way the top screen is shaped and looks.Other than that is everything is okay with me.

I bought my mom a 2DS, I felt she would like the simple design better than getting her a 3DS. She won't have to deal with the closing and opening it all the time, plus not having to hassle with 3D, since she is epileptic, I figured the 2DS would be better for her. She loves playing Animal Crossing New Leaf.
