Topic: Should I Swap ‘New’ 2DSXL for a 2DS?

@HobbitGamer Goodness if you are having such problems I really think you should see a doctor! That isn't normal and could be a sign of a more serious problem!

@Heavyarms55 I have seen a doctor, it's routinely monitored. I'm a responsible adult now I'm all good, don't worry. It's not as extreme as it sounds, the biggest aggravations come from repetitive turning motions, over-lifting, and having my hand in a non-neutral position too long. But overnight rest cures just about any discomfort if it gets really cranky. It's not bad enough that I need release surgery, which would be miserable since I work with data processing all day.
I was able to play Luigi's Mansion for a good hour last night with no issues, it was glorious to play it again.

Well I signed up just to reply.

So I think you should switch to the original 2ds. after few weeks of not touching my 2ds i picked it up again and i forgot how much i really liked the system. the comfort and even the design.

Now to since you have a new 2ds you can download the digital games tied to your nnid if you log in with it on your new orlginal 2ds. call nintendo support up for a manual guide like what i did.

Hope that helps.

@taqitajwar Welcome!! I definitely agree that the 2DS is very comfortable. I'm currently waiting to hear back from Nintendo about the NNID, as I couldn't link it to the 2DS.

@HobbitGamer Sorry, I didn't mean to sound condescending. It's just so strange to hear about such an issue.

@Heavyarms55 Haha, you didn't sound anything but concerned for a fellow human! I appreciate it, anyway
It's kind of like having a bum knee or bad shoulder. You don't really think about all the things a joint area does until it protests. But basically the wrist area has a tunnel that tendons and ligaments for the hand pass through. inflammation of those cords can cause them to rub around, or in my case a trauma to the tunnel area. Think of a partially caved 2 lane subway tunnel, where there's only space for 1 1/2 lanes now.
