Nintendo Announces 2DS....thoughts?

[Reprise]

Silly? Sure.

Better than "2DS"? Yup.

Yeah, I agree, those are better names. But now come up with a better name that won't result in complaints from buyers that it is not in 3D like the other 3DS models.

3DS 2D.

The 3D in 2D, S.

I still can't get over how much this device could've been an April Fools joke.

I rarely use my 3D but I don't understand why it doesn't fold LOL. Made sense with the GB micro bc it considerably smaller.

It is a good price but an odd design

It doesn't fold, because one way they're cutting costs is by only using one LCD screen. It just looks like two because there's plastic layered overtop.

That's the biggest problem. The system itself has 3D in the name. 2DS still makes the most sense to me because of that. All parents need to know is that it plays 2 different DS system's games and all will be well.

Maybe just call it the DS-All?

I dunno, I give up.

I'm probably going to pick one up if I can get it for $100 on black Friday. There's a ton of 3ds games I'm interested in and for that price I can't say no. It looks like it will fit my hands better then a regular 3ds since my fingers won't have to wrap around the bottom, so hopefully that means less hand cramps.

It also looks exactly like one of those old tiger electronics handhelds which I think is cool in a nostalgic way.

Has anyone else read this Ars Technica article? It's this bullshit write-up about how Nintendo missed an opportunity to turn the 2DS into a tablet. You gotta be fucking kidding me.

[SNKnicotine]

that thing looks awful, looks like a door wedge. If they kept the clam design I'm sure more people(me) would be open to buying it.

[FerretGamer]

WTF, the 2DS is one solid screen hidden under the plastic shell.

Oh Nintendo, you so silly.

[nightrnr]

Uh Oh!, guess who just pre-ordered one>

It was me

I wonder if they could have made a version that flips, protecting the screen.. Making designed for people with larger hands is a plus though..
