You wouldn't want to rub your greasy finger around the screen all the time, you will have to clean it more often and it also gets tiresome using your finger for every type of action you need to do as you have a lot more friction with the display unlike with a stylus.
I think Nintendo made the 2DS for people who don't want to pay an extra 50$ for the 3D feature. Honestly, I never used the 3D feature, so I think this is a nice less expensive alternative to the 3DS XL.
Jono Marshall depends on which game and the intensity, you can put half intensity or how much you like. The game can make shit use of it or make your eyes alt + 4 on everything and if you’re unlucky, whoever else looks at it will die too
My old 3Ds is finally biting the dust, so I'm going out tomorrow to get the 2Ds XL. Never used the 3D on my 3Ds and I want the faster load times, so I'm okay with the 2Ds XL.
garfreeek glad i helped man. I am also in between new 3ds xl and new 2ds xl. But i think new 2ds xl will be the better choice. Only difference is 3d and i dont think 3d is worth 50$.
My original 3DS XL is going into retirement. Makes sense, I've been using it for quite a while. Having an all-new DS (and a new model, no less) is going to feel weird! I'm getting the Animal Crossing 2DS XL even though I have the game (I've been dying to get a special edition DS for ages but knew I needed to suck my OG 3DS dry).
Aw3x Well, at least ya have one. Some people can't afford 3ds, so they buy original 2DS. Well, I hope u keep your 3ds until it breaks cuz I still have my PSP from 2007....Still working perfectly and still playing it to this day.
Let me just paste my answer to another, similar comment, OK? I'm tired of people saying that 3D makes them feel sick... Just get a *New* 3DS, with eye tracking. I have a New 3DS XL and I can literally look at it at any angle, just the camera has to see me. Only times I lose focus is when I'm having a really bumpy car ride or when the camera is dirty. During normal gameplay, I never have any problems, and I have 3D on all the time. I can't even imagine playing Super Mario 3D Land or any TLoZ in 2D... I tried and it's waaay more difficult when you can't see the depth of the pit in Link Between Worlds or distance from next platform in Mario. In conclusion, there's no way I'm trading my New 3DS XL for any other version.

AquaBlast that's awesome that you are replacing your broken 3DS with a NEW 2DS XL. So to any consumer, I think if you are replacing a 3DS or a first time buyer, I think the NEW 2DS XL is the right choice. Enjoy the great gaming!
Thanks! It has been pretty great so far. The only thing is, I don't know if I can get my pokemon/smash saves from my og SD card. I am going to have to call Nintendo later, but it sucks for now.
Glad you are enjoying your new gaming unit. All your saves should have moved onto your new SD card when you did a system transfer from old 3DS to NEW 2DS XL. I am sure you know if you had a bigger size SD card in your old 3DS, you would need the same or bigger size in your NEW 2DS XL to make sure the system transfer will go smoothly.
I loved that design too, wish they'd make the new ones like that, and the stylus too! I still have my red original 3DS I got on July 2013 when I was 6. It still turns on, but it randomly turns off so I had to stop using it and got a Galaxy theme New 3DS XL. I really like the galaxy thing and of course the bigger screens, more memory and stylus, but I really liked the shiny design.
It looks good at first but as is the problem with most devices that use that type of material, it quickly smudges and in the long term looks pretty bad. It's not durable at all, scratches easily, and smudges easily. It really sacrifices practicality for the aesthetic which I'm really not a fan of.
The 3D was a gimmick. I think the New 2DS XL is the best version. That's cool they chanced the SD card slot and game cart slot into 1. The small stylus is fine. Not many games use it and the ones that do, you can just buy the larger stylus if you need to. It'd be cool if it came in an all matte black finish.
It's a shame that people keep writing off the 3D as a gimmick. It's become second nature to play particular games with it enabled. Fire Emblem Awakening and Bravely Default made use of it in such an amazing way, especially the later just absolutely gorgeous. Lazy crap found in Pokémon X and Y and Smash 4 is crap I’ll give you that but other games more than make up for it. I'm remembering more now; 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure and Super Mario 3D to Hell with your "3D was a gimmick" what rubbish No forward-facing speakers on a handheld-console? Disgraceful. A smaller stylus only forsakes what the original concept was but Hell, games don't even use the mic anymore Nintendo ought to call the contemporary 3DS for what it is, a God damn Gameboy. They just don't make games like WarioWare Touched anymore...
New Nintendo 2DS XL Nintendo 4DS Nintendo 4DS XL New Nintendo 4DS New Nintendo 4DS XL I can keep going for hours to even get to New Nintendo 1000DS XL. P.S.: We can have a Switch XL and a Switch 2 XL.
i recently bought one of these and i’m personally very satisfied with it. the only things i found annoying were the top screen and it’s surrounding areas getting dust and fingerprints easily (i’m assuming the white/orange version doesn’t have that problem tho) and the speakers being at the bottom of the system which makes it harder to hear the game if you’re not wearing headphones
Sheena1234ization I think they should considerably lower the price of the 3ds, I mean if I just pay 90 dollars more I can get an Xbox one s (I have ps4) which is more worth it considering the specs, but obviously one of them is not portable
Here's my opinion: If you, the consumer, already own a ''NEW 3DS''... then you don't need a ''NEW 2DS''. If you, the consumer, already owns a vanilla 3DS/2DS... then you should bought a NEW 3DS/2DS.
if you have a switch and an OG 3ds imo just forget about it. I was in your situation between either saving up for months for a switch or getting this one since the hinge on my old 3DS XL broke. I ended up opting for the N2DS XL cause I love pokemon games.
+TheCommentGuy8, my 3DS XL is one of the first releases. I bought it back in 2012 and after these 5 years, it's right-side hinged finally gave out, meaning it's taped down with GORILLA duct tape (sturdy af). However, I need to get a new handheld eventually, so I'd say anyone who needs a replacement or back-up handheld should purchase the cheap 2DS or NEW 2DS XL.
Last time I was this early, I was funny. I had a job. My wife wasn't cheating on me with her boss who is better than me in every aspect. I didn't look in the mirror and feel disgusted with what I had become. Hope was still worth keeping, and my dreams were something worth fighting for. Last time I was this early, I didn't feel late. I didn't feel as if I were missing a part of me. Run, run, run I tell myself every night as I fall into darkness. Run.
The camera & loudspeakers (also no 3D inside the upper screen), are at the bottom for 2 reasons : Easy access & repairablility (and also saving some money when manufacturing).😉 Come with some disadvantages : The loudspeakers are most of the time cover with your hands (both sides), to take a picture or record a video, you have to hold the 2ds xl in an uncomfortable position. (As show in this video.)
it doesn't really offer that much over a regular 3DS model, just snes games and a very small amount of games that are on new 3DS and not regular 3DS, and all of the good ones are on other platforms too (Xenoblade is on Wii and Wii U, The Binding of Isaac Rebirth on a lot of other things, etc.). If you have that money to throw around but your regular 3DS works fine, just get some new games instead. If your regular 3DS is kind of falling apart, then sure
After many years of gaming i bought a new 2ds xl this morning. As a old school and o.g. gamer i recommend this system. It looks gorgeous and plays nes and snes games! The only weak thing about this system is that the screen is a bit loose. Iam in love with Nintendo again after the gba sp. 5 out of 5!
The problem with the 2DS XL and 3DS is that the D-pad is not in a location that makes it comfortable to use. So you are stuck using the circle pad which I hate using. That's why I went with the regular 2DS.
You realize that the 2DS/2DS XL is really geared towards younger gamers? That's why it's lighter, that's why the stylus is smaller, that's why the cartridge slot/SD card slot are covered.
Ah yes, the "younger gamers" excuse. The way of immediately dismissing any honest criticism by saying something is meant for a younger audience. Oh, we have dismissed that claim.
Tbh if my New 3DS XL broke I'd just buy this one as a replacement as it's cheaper, I never use the 3D Screens, the Micro SD Card isn't a pain in the ass to put in, and it'll fit in my current case I have.
R. Westbrook check out Zelda: a link between worlds. It's worth $20 now, and also Kirby Triple Deluxe which is also worth $20. Are you into Pokemon as well?
I personally think the White, and Orange looks ugly, and I'm glad Nintendo decided not to release it here in the US, because unless you handle your console with clean cloth gloves white is going to get dirty faster over time, and if you have kids like me then good luck on keeping it white longer then a month lol!
I grabbed up the Pokeball version. I only got it because I needed to replace my broken 3ds xl and the Pokeball design sold it for me. I don't use the 3d function ever anyways.
What I noticed is that the 2DS and 3DS top screens are legit smaller than the touch screen on the XL consoles.... That just gives you an idea of how big of a screen you get, which is great. I got my Aqua blue 3DS for £60, and for £20 more the 2DS XL is definitely worth the upgrade, if you have a 3DS or 2DS. If you have an original 3DS XL basically it takes away 3D (who uses it anyway) and you get a cooler design, slightly larger screen and a generally faster and newer console. What I called two iPhone 4s stuck together is just an awesome piece of Nintendo glory
It's for an AR feature that is never used and only a small few games have AR cards as well. Or at least one game that I am aware of and that is Kid Icuras Uprising but that was just for collecting
Katie to take pictures and use the AR Game featured in the Nintendo 3DS family. However, The Nintendo DSi was the first DS system to ever have a camera feature.
I've always been a Vita user (accustomed to its nice OLED screen) but I just got a beautiful 3DS XL Persona Q Edition. It's been my first time with a 3DS and honestly, screen color look very weak. Is this normal with this XL model? Will color improve if I get a 2DS XL?
@IamOnlyArchon Oh really? Well that's a bummer :( I really like the 2DS XL model and $130 seems like a pretty fair deal. But if the color quality is not going to improve, I thin I'll do better investing that money on the Shin Megami Tensei 3DS games.
@IamOnlyArchon Soul Hackers Is ramping up in price. I think I can get all of them for $150, I'll buy them along with Legend Of Heroes Trails Of Cold Steel 2, but I'll wait until Prime Day just in case. Can you believe the collector's edition of the first Persona Q game was sold for $39 and now is $250??? Holy cow, I should have bought it....
@@mvandam_ Thanks for the tip dude, I'll try it right now! This 15th I'll buy SMT Soul Hackers for $48, used complete. I can't believe they're asking roughly $150 for a brand new copy, good lord...
Huy Nguyen A 2DS is a 3DS. They're the same family of systems. It's just a "clever" name. 3DS was called 3DS after DS not because it's the third system, but because it has three dimensional support. The 2DS isn't a different system, really or an older one. It just has the 3D slider disabled so no visual three dimensional image popping out of the screen nonsense. It's called 2DS to be clever because it only supports two dimensional mode. But all games are playable in 2D mode. I've never even once uses the 3D slider on my 3DS. It hurts your eyes and doesn't work well. Edit: I have used it on other 3DS systems before I bought one and it gave me headaches.
For someone like you who have already a 3DS XL, must be a little hard to go to the 2DS XL. I try the 3DS on a demo store and even when the 3D is off, the screen look a little muddled. I never own a 3DS what so ever and last week, i bought my firt time ever 2DS XL. Since the Switch, the 3DS come to its end and before it will be over price, i want to play Zelda and/or Mario that i miss. It worth every dollars. For me, the screen is crystal clear, every input works very well and its really fun. I definitely recommand it.
Ok so, I am COMPLETELY new to Nintendo, I've always wanted one but I've never had the money and neither did my parents. I have the money for it now, and I'm trying to choose between getting a 3DS or the 2DS XL. The main reason I want Nintendo is to be able to play Pokemon games, and I'm wondering which Pokemon games I CAN play on the 2DS XL, can I play pretty much all available 2DS, 3DS and DS games on the 2DS XL? I appreciate any and all responses and advice
The box says which types of games are and aren't compatible with it, if I remember correctly. I'd say that all DS games are compatible with it, but I advise you to check the box and/or contacting Nintendo itself before making a purchase. You can also google that, of course.
The stylus is like when you want to keep using a pencil in school to see how small it will get
Sergeant Sam Can't you use the finger? Since, this is a... TOUCHscreen?
You wouldn't want to rub your greasy finger around the screen all the time, you will have to clean it more often and it also gets tiresome using your finger for every type of action you need to do as you have a lot more friction with the display unlike with a stylus.

l like how nintendo focuses on handhelds so we can enjoy games any where rather than gaming on boring phone games
looking at you sony
the problem with vita is lack of games and now it is not powerful to run modern games that are on ps4
now if sony makes a handheld ps4 which has slightly less power than ps4 and runs games at 720p instead of 1080p on original
512gb storage with ability to have external storage via usb
5.5" display
all psn games on ps4 be playable on ps4 portable as it is just ps4 but portable
ability to use same external hdd on both handheld and ps4
I would buy that while I have original ps4
buying ps4 pro or slim while owning original ps4 just doesnt worth it at all
I dont mind paying 399 on ps4portable though
oh and be chargable using usb c or 3.0 so I could just use external anker battery bank
now this is nintendo switch killer
cuz switch also lacks games while ps4 portable can run any game on psn from 2013 like any ps4

@@kenbaeza im planning to keep it for as long as i can.
I loved that design too, wish they'd make the new ones like that, and the stylus too! I still have my red original 3DS I got on July 2013 when I was 6. It still turns on, but it randomly turns off so I had to stop using it and got a Galaxy theme New 3DS XL. I really like the galaxy thing and of course the bigger screens, more memory and stylus, but I really liked the shiny design.
It looks good at first but as is the problem with most devices that use that type of material, it quickly smudges and in the long term looks pretty bad. It's not durable at all, scratches easily, and smudges easily. It really sacrifices practicality for the aesthetic which I'm really not a fan of.
The 3D was a gimmick.
I think the New 2DS XL is the best version.
That's cool they chanced the SD card slot and game cart slot into 1.
The small stylus is fine. Not many games use it and the ones that do, you can just buy the larger stylus if you need to.
It'd be cool if it came in an all matte black finish.
Comes with its own power adapter too, for once finally.
xxnike629xx celstrial being
The stylus looks 3DS sized as it had a small one but it was retractable so it could be made bigger
It's a shame that people keep writing off the 3D as a gimmick. It's become second nature to play particular games with it enabled. Fire Emblem Awakening and Bravely Default made use of it in such an amazing way, especially the later just absolutely gorgeous. Lazy crap found in Pokémon X and Y and Smash 4 is crap I’ll give you that but other games more than make up for it. I'm remembering more now; 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure and Super Mario 3D to Hell with your "3D was a gimmick" what rubbish
No forward-facing speakers on a handheld-console? Disgraceful. A smaller stylus only forsakes what the original concept was but Hell, games don't even use the mic anymore Nintendo ought to call the contemporary 3DS for what it is, a God damn Gameboy. They just don't make games like WarioWare Touched anymore...
xxnike629xx you're right I barely use the 3D since my 3ds xl screen is scratched and I have a DS pen stylus

i recently bought one of these and i’m personally very satisfied with it. the only things i found annoying were the top screen and it’s surrounding areas getting dust and fingerprints easily (i’m assuming the white/orange version doesn’t have that problem tho) and the speakers being at the bottom of the system which makes it harder to hear the game if you’re not wearing headphones
my only problem is that it gets scratched very easily. True the speakers are a problem to many people, but i got used to it after 3 days
@@yellow0414 don't touch the top screen at all
It's been 6 six years since the 3DS first came out.........
Sheena1234ization I think they should considerably lower the price of the 3ds, I mean if I just pay 90 dollars more I can get an Xbox one s (I have ps4) which is more worth it considering the specs, but obviously one of them is not portable
6 six years? you mean 36 years? damn.
It might be finally time for me to play some 3DS games

Here's my opinion:
If you, the consumer, already own a ''NEW 3DS''... then you don't need a ''NEW 2DS''.
If you, the consumer, already owns a vanilla 3DS/2DS... then you should bought a NEW 3DS/2DS.
TheCommentGuy8 but what if i have a vanilla 3ds but just spent all my money on the switch
if you have a switch and an OG 3ds imo just forget about it. I was in your situation between either saving up for months for a switch or getting this one since the hinge on my old 3DS XL broke. I ended up opting for the N2DS XL cause I love pokemon games.
What if I don't have a 3DS or a 2DS? Should I get a 2DS XL or just go with a 3DS?
My 3ds non new screen died I got old style refurbished around time new came out. The screen just died.
+TheCommentGuy8, my 3DS XL is one of the first releases. I bought it back in 2012 and after these 5 years, it's right-side hinged finally gave out, meaning it's taped down with GORILLA duct tape (sturdy af). However, I need to get a new handheld eventually, so I'd say anyone who needs a replacement or back-up handheld should purchase the cheap 2DS or NEW 2DS XL.
im actually watch on my 2Ds xl right now
I'm watching this on my 2DS XL.

I know this is off topic to the video but i got a 2 hour ad 😂
Hey Austin this is viewer and I have a question why do u wear the same colour or same shirt in every video
cuz
If you don't want to use the small 2DS stylus, are you able to use a regular longer one like how the DS comes with?
Just a Nerd yes, but I don't think it will fit in the slot so you'll have to keep it in a case or something
You should be able to use the extendable stylus' that were made for the 3ds
Any stylus should work, since the touch screen works with everything...
Or u can use your finger
@@nwswagg The fingernail works better, because of the type of touch screen that the console has.
Last time I was this early, I was funny. I had a job. My wife wasn't cheating on me with her boss who is better than me in every aspect. I didn't look in the mirror and feel disgusted with what I had become. Hope was still worth keeping, and my dreams were something worth fighting for. Last time I was this early, I didn't feel late. I didn't feel as if I were missing a part of me. Run, run, run I tell myself every night as I fall into darkness. Run.

I just purchased the Nintendo 2Ds xl. I bought for myself and I love this little game.
I bought one too then got cow on it, best thing I ever did.
Bought one today, no regrets
The original DS stylus was tiny too
The camera & loudspeakers (also no 3D inside the upper screen), are at the bottom for 2 reasons : Easy access & repairablility (and also saving some money when manufacturing).😉
Come with some disadvantages : The loudspeakers are most of the time cover with your hands (both sides), to take a picture or record a video, you have to hold the 2ds xl in an uncomfortable position. (As show in this video.)
Ok let's talk about that camera quality 😂😂😂😂

Should i upgrade from a original 3DS to the new 2DS?
If you're willing to spend $150 on it then yes because it has a faster processing speed and the c-stick
also amiibo suport
yes. you definitely need an upgrade. I myself have the new 3ds xl
it doesn't really offer that much over a regular 3DS model, just snes games and a very small amount of games that are on new 3DS and not regular 3DS, and all of the good ones are on other platforms too (Xenoblade is on Wii and Wii U, The Binding of Isaac Rebirth on a lot of other things, etc.). If you have that money to throw around but your regular 3DS works fine, just get some new games instead. If your regular 3DS is kind of falling apart, then sure
xX_SpeedyScout_Xx if you want to play some of the new 3ds ports then sure and the camera is useful
After many years of gaming i bought a new 2ds xl this morning. As a old school and o.g. gamer i recommend this system. It looks gorgeous and plays nes and snes games! The only weak thing about this system is that the screen is a bit loose. Iam in love with Nintendo again after the gba sp. 5 out of 5!

The problem with the 2DS XL and 3DS is that the D-pad is not in a location that makes it comfortable to use. So you are stuck using the circle pad which I hate using. That's why I went with the regular 2DS.
I love the 2ds xl. I hate 3D, so I am gaining a sleeker look for 60 dollars less including the charger. The new 3ds xl is ugly and clunky IMO.
Ryder Mendelson I would say that if I wasn't allowed to get a 3ds
Lee Myong stfu stop hating
Lee Myong False lol I just got paid and I came to this video to decide between a 3DS xl or 2DS xl and I’m leaning towards the 2DS xl.
Ryder Mendelson dude we know you hate 3d but stop hating on it because it's much better than 2ds and because you hate it
There is a benefit. Having non glossy screen
You realize that the 2DS/2DS XL is really geared towards younger gamers? That's why it's lighter, that's why the stylus is smaller, that's why the cartridge slot/SD card slot are covered.
only applies to XL*
Ah yes, the "younger gamers" excuse. The way of immediately dismissing any honest criticism by saying something is meant for a younger audience. Oh, we have dismissed that claim.
Tbh if my New 3DS XL broke I'd just buy this one as a replacement as it's cheaper, I never use the 3D Screens, the Micro SD Card isn't a pain in the ass to put in, and it'll fit in my current case I have.
33yo female gamer here. Buying my first 2DSXL ever tomorrow. Im so excited :) Lolz
Im ADDICTED TO ZELDA!!!
@@WaitWhat99 buy fire emblem awakening
vivi xD Ok ill check it out 👌 👍
R. Westbrook check out Zelda: a link between worlds. It's worth $20 now, and also Kirby Triple Deluxe which is also worth $20. Are you into Pokemon as well?
In the U.K. this is also available in white and orange
Mundane Box 15 yep
I personally think the White, and Orange looks ugly, and I'm glad Nintendo decided not to release it here in the US, because unless you handle your console with clean cloth gloves white is going to get dirty faster over time, and if you have kids like me then good luck on keeping it white longer then a month lol!
I grabbed up the Pokeball version.
I only got it because I needed to replace my broken 3ds xl and the Pokeball design sold it for me.
I don't use the 3d function ever anyways.
130-140$ rn, seems like a great price
What I noticed is that the 2DS and 3DS top screens are legit smaller than the touch screen on the XL consoles.... That just gives you an idea of how big of a screen you get, which is great. I got my Aqua blue 3DS for £60, and for £20 more the 2DS XL is definitely worth the upgrade, if you have a 3DS or 2DS. If you have an original 3DS XL basically it takes away 3D (who uses it anyway) and you get a cooler design, slightly larger screen and a generally faster and newer console. What I called two iPhone 4s stuck together is just an
awesome piece of Nintendo glory
What's the deal with all the cameras on the DSs?
Katie it's for ar
It's for an AR feature that is never used and only a small few games have AR cards as well. Or at least one game that I am aware of and that is Kid Icuras Uprising but that was just for collecting
Katie to take pictures and use the AR Game featured in the Nintendo 3DS family. However, The Nintendo DSi was the first DS system to ever have a camera feature.

Before using the n2ds xl: the stylus is so short
After many month: the stylus is pretty decent
Playing the DS: Woah, this StYlUs Is So LoNg
The only addictive thing for me whenever I’m using 3ds systems is that...I’d always be pressing button’s no matter where I’m at

It has a headphone jack
much better im glad they put the headphone jack on the iphone 7.5
3:12 Why r u playing Pokemon sun while you're working??? Hmmm
I've always been a Vita user (accustomed to its nice OLED screen) but I just got a beautiful 3DS XL Persona Q Edition. It's been my first time with a 3DS and honestly, screen color look very weak. Is this normal with this XL model? Will color improve if I get a 2DS XL?
@IamOnlyArchon Oh really? Well that's a bummer :( I really like the 2DS XL model and $130 seems like a pretty fair deal. But if the color quality is not going to improve, I thin I'll do better investing that money on the Shin Megami Tensei 3DS games.
@IamOnlyArchon Soul Hackers Is ramping up in price. I think I can get all of them for $150, I'll buy them along with Legend Of Heroes Trails Of Cold Steel 2, but I'll wait until Prime Day just in case. Can you believe the collector's edition of the first Persona Q game was sold for $39 and now is $250??? Holy cow, I should have bought it....
@@mvandam_ Thanks for the tip dude, I'll try it right now! This 15th I'll buy SMT Soul Hackers for $48, used complete. I can't believe they're asking roughly $150 for a brand new copy, good lord...
honestly forgot the 2ds existed until i saw an ad awhile ago
He said you can put in a 3ds game in the 2ds?
Yep! Games just won't have a 3D option to play but they should still work just fine.
It can run crysis 3 at max settings
All 3ds games run on a 2ds with no 3d feature obviously.
Huy Nguyen A 2DS is a 3DS. They're the same family of systems. It's just a "clever" name. 3DS was called 3DS after DS not because it's the third system, but because it has three dimensional support. The 2DS isn't a different system, really or an older one. It just has the 3D slider disabled so no visual three dimensional image popping out of the screen nonsense. It's called 2DS to be clever because it only supports two dimensional mode. But all games are playable in 2D mode. I've never even once uses the 3D slider on my 3DS. It hurts your eyes and doesn't work well.
Edit: I have used it on other 3DS systems before I bought one and it gave me headaches.
Yes, you can also run crysis 3 at max settings in 60 fps
Yas.
Stop asking these strange questions
ifUreadthisURalien yes
For someone like you who have already a 3DS XL, must be a little hard to go to the 2DS XL. I try the 3DS on a demo store and even when the 3D is off, the screen look a little muddled. I never own a 3DS what so ever and last week, i bought my firt time ever 2DS XL. Since the Switch, the 3DS come to its end and before it will be over price, i want to play Zelda and/or Mario that i miss. It worth every dollars. For me, the screen is crystal clear, every input works very well and its really fun. I definitely recommand it.
Who else have a New nintendo 2ds?
Feisal Ajaj would not recommend at all
Feisal Ajaj me it's awesome
Not me
Feisal Ajaj Me!!
I don't. I have the 2DS XL
It is an xl product. Nintendo puts a stylus half the size of the normal 2ds
Why I might buy this:
1.I don't use 3d a lot
2.I can use amiibo! (I own 3ds xl)
(Not new)
3.cuz I wanna
Ok so, I am COMPLETELY new to Nintendo, I've always wanted one but I've never had the money and neither did my parents. I have the money for it now, and I'm trying to choose between getting a 3DS or the 2DS XL. The main reason I want Nintendo is to be able to play Pokemon games, and I'm wondering which Pokemon games I CAN play on the 2DS XL, can I play pretty much all available 2DS, 3DS and DS games on the 2DS XL? I appreciate any and all responses and advice
The box says which types of games are and aren't compatible with it, if I remember correctly.
I'd say that all DS games are compatible with it, but I advise you to check the box and/or contacting Nintendo itself before making a purchase. You can also google that, of course.
Heck yea! If you haven't experienced the new 3ds xl and want to experience it without 3d, this is the way to go!
I don’t know why I feel so defensive over this console. Like I’m getting so mad at this guy just because he’s speaking his opinion lmfao I gotta chill
Is Austin Evans worth it ?

Wait till the PS Vita 2 get announced.
Brandon Falk But why should he buy one this late in 2018. I’ll wait till the next psp or ps vita to come out then decide which one to buy.
Unknown94 Don't think Sony will even make another. Might make something switch like but na nothing just portable
