Nintendo Announces 2DS....thoughts?

[ZeroAX]

Now as for the Wii U....

They probably could've come up with a better name.

Wii 2..... also I think the Wii U's biggest problem is that the console is too similar and the gamepad takes too big a part in ads which means people are confused it's an add on.

"Where do you keep the 2DS games?"

One of many questions the poor souls that work at electronic departments will be faced with from confused parents.

Yeah I can't wait. I already have to explain why 3DS games don't just play in 2D on a DSi...

All I gotta say is, this will probably be a very limited run, so collectors should grab 'em.

Limited to *only* millions of units.

GRAB THEM BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR!

That's only a half million of each color!

I'm down. I think we should suit up, get some other members, pick a state, and camp outside one of the big box stores for the 2DS launch.

The Wal*Mart in Bucyrus, Ohio will never know what hit it.

The system doesn't fold because one of the ways they got the cost down so much was using a single LCD touchscreen for both the top and bottom. The unused portions are just covered with plastic, and the top screen has an extra layer of protective plastic on top.

It looks like this thing is made to take a beating. It's got fewer parts, matte finish, a cheap carrying case, and a significantly lower price.

Also, it wouldn't look as bad if the color schemes were different. Someone tossed up a GameBoy style mockup and it looked pretty awesome.

omg, want!

[GSZX1337]

I am such a whore that I would totally buy that.

It would be awesome if Nintendo included classic Gameboy games pre-loaded! But I think nah.

Oh man, I am trying sooo hard not to touch myself right now.

Maybe the next one will be a single screen system called the 1/2 DS.

No, see, DS means "Dual Screen".

So with one screen?

2S. You'll only be able to see this thing in.... 1/2D!
