Nintendo has announced a new version of the 3DS handheld console that plays all 3DS and DS games in 2D only.

The Nintendo 2DS, part of the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles, is designed specifically for anyone looking for a more affordable entry point into 3DS gaming.

In the US it will be available in red or blue for $129.99 from 12th October, the same day Pokémon X and Pokémon Y comes out. Nintendo of Europe doesn't set the price of hardware in the UK. Look for shop prices to go live very soon.

The Nintendo 2DS plays the entire library of packaged and downloadable games for Nintendo 3DS only in 2D, and features a fixed, slate-type form factor. Optional carry cases will be available in red or blue at launch for $12.99 a pop.

Here's my humble opinion.

Everyone didn't saw this coming. Ninty U.S. make this surprise. Can mean something to the market of Ninty U.S. It is not even been announced in Japan.

Ninty is not selling well in the states. Along with the launch of PS4 and XboxOne, Ninty U.S. will definitely having trouble to gain some market.

Europe side? Not sure. For me? Might get this for U.S game if the price is good since I only have 3DS JP.

mono sound, stereo sound over earphones, but all other specs seems the same as 3ds... any sellers interested in bringing this over?

I guess its really design for kids. The lack of fold like normal 3DS is perfect for kids as they are less likely to break them in two

buttons are too far frm the touchscreen, they should make the btm and the upper screen same size, it would looks better.

Your problem guys with the design? I kinda like it due to it looking old school.
When you were a kid did you complain about the Gameboy design?
Plus it's cheaper than 3DS so no complains here, and not aimed for you anyway, as the target audience is for kids.
I would only be worried if it is comfortable to play or not.

Mono speakers aren't a problem for me as I always play my 3DS with a headphone plugged in.
This would be really good if it was announced in Japan, just so I could buy a jap DS for MH4.

Here is the difference smile.gif

So it's real. When I first heard it I was wondering if I slept 8 months and woke up on April 1st...

Also, what if you need to play games that need the circle pad pro second thumbstick or L2/R2? Why didn't Ninty just built the function in?

On the topic of the buttons... doesn't look egronomical shakehead.gif

More and more 3D game will be coming.
Like the idea of 2D as most of the time also didn't on the 3d to play it.
But the design seen not holding friendly and portable friendly.
