"Inserts into back side approximately here" LOL
Price point? |
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
$129. Comes in red or blue. Available in October.
Also, has a 3D camera for pictures you can never, ever see. |
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
That. Looks. Hideous.
Why lose the clamshell? I'm all for a new 2D DS in theory as I couldn't give any less of a shit about 3D and I turned my off on the 3DS for the 2 hours I played on it like 2 years ago, but this seems like an unnecessary entry as the 3DS does that anyway so where's the benefit for the consumer vs. just focusing on the price point of the 3DS itself? Meeeeeehhhh-eh. |
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
They should have just stripped the 3D out of the existing 3DS and kept the design. Closing that thing up and putting it in your pocket is key. This thing...

This is interesting to me. As someone that doesn't care for 3D, this might work well for me to play Zelda! The system is compatible with all 3DS and DS games. Its two screens are the same size as those of the original 3DS, smaller than those on the Nintendo 3DS XL. The 2DS' upper screen will not render graphics in 3D, though the system's two outward-facing cameras will still take photos and video in 3D, saving those files on a memory card so that they can be transferred to hardware that does display stereoscopic 3D imagery.P The system launches on October 12 in North America, the same day as the release of the first major next-gen handheld Pokemon games, Pokemon X and Y. Those games will only work on post-DS systems, a line that now includes 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS.P The 2DS will sell for $129.99 and will be available in red or blue. That price makes it $40 cheaper than the Nintendo 3DS and $70 cheaper than the Nintendo 3DS XL (and recently price-dropped PlayStation Vita) |
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
Since 3D can be turned off, it seems to me that $40 is an acceptable upgrade price for the clamshell.

Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
I probably would have gotten one if they had stuck with the clamshell. I can't see why anyone would prefer that shape.
|
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
I never turn on the 3D on my XL. If this were out when I bought mine, I probably would have gone with it to save the $. I also never travel with it so the design wouldn't bother me.

Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
This will be a bigger dud than the PSPGo.

Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
I can see non-tech savvy parents getting completely confused by this. "There are no games on the shelf for 2DS!"
|
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
It's a monstrosity.

Plus aren't the 3DS games more expensive than the DS games because of 3D? |

I've researched this and besides the Nintendo warning, I can't find any medical literature supporting this fear of 3D under age 7. But whatever, if they wanted to sell "next gen" games to little kids, they needed to have a system that was incapable of displaying 3D images. For the record, it's taken like two and a half years to take the system's most-touted feature and eliminate it. That's way longer than it took the Xbox One! :up: |
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
Wait...they made a cheaper version of the 3DS without the gimmicky 3D and without hinges?
Huh. I'd never really considered one until just now, so it's working on somebody. :up: |
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
I think this will work great for parents buying them for their kids. Much cheaper and they don't give a shot what it looks like. I know at that price my brother will be buying them for my nieces and nephew.

Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
Wow, that's ugly. Sorta disappointed with only the mono speaker too. I can see why they're doing this though, launching a cheaper system the same day the new Pokemons that don't work on the old DS comes out, I think it'll definitely get some people to upgrade that have been holding out.
I wonder how it'll work for the Zelda game where Spoiler:

Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
I guess I'll wait for the 2DS XL. I like my 3DS XL screen size.

This plays physical titles, half the price, and the Nintendo handhelds have always sold better. It's the cheapest Nintendo handheld while the Go was the more expensive. Still a weird as design. $99 by Black Friday. |

Still, if it means I get more street/spot passes, I'm all for it. |
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
Whoa. When I opened the thread the first thing I saw was the mono speaker note and I assumed this was just a joke. Strange.
I already have a 3DS, but I'll admit, the 3D is generally either off or almost off. I can't imagine I'll ever get one of these, even with a price drop, but I'll be curious to see it in person. |
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo 2DS!
I thought this was a joke, too.
