2013 is the year of Luigi, and Mario's brother has certainly seen a lot of action. He's starred in New Super Luigi U, has taken a lead role in games like Luigi's Mansion 2 and Dream Team and has even had his own exclusive 3DS XL console.
It would seem that Nintendo isn't quite done with the Luigi-related festivities, though — Kotaku has been sent photos of what appears to be a Luigi-themed 2DS system, complete with a cool character stamp on its rear.
The images certainly look legit, but it's best to wait for official confirmation before getting too excited. Needless to say, the moment this bad boy is announced officially, we'll let you know about it.

O_O me want!
Why does the 2ds have a 3d camera (2 rear cameras)?
O. M. G.! It looks SO good!
@Tokujo cause you can share your 3D photos with other people with "normal" 3DSs
@Tokujo @miron_khuzd Not only that, but it helps for software such as AR Games where the 3D camera allows the software to measure the distance between the system and the AR cards.
@Tokujo SO that you can take 3d pictures, save them on onyour SD card, and then, when you UPGRADE to a 3DS - all your hard work is still there! Plus it will help you to WANT to upgrade to a 3ds once you are old enough
Er, I'm not young and I really want this!
God! I want those Green Buttons!!!!!
I find any 3DS/2DS models with coloured buttons just look cheap and tacky.
The green edges and Luigi stamp look cool though.
Thats rather nice
Oh wow that looks beautiful! Too bad it's such a downgrade from my 3DS XL though, I ain't getting it.
Omg, do want! I really hope this is out around XMas. I wanted a 2DS but couldn't bring myself to spend money on an inferior console. But, with the year of Luigi XL way out of my price range, I'll be watching this!
Why tagged with rumour, you have all those photos.
This is pretty cute, if only for the green buttons and Luigi engraving. I thought he'd just be a green stamp, but lo and behold...
So. Many. Limited. Edition. 3DSeseseseseses..........
I want them all!
Why a Luigi and not a MArio?
I'm not bashing Luigi, but these consoles are for kids. For parents to buy for their kids. I think parents would quickly grad a big red Mario 2DS but just ponder at this.
I'm picking up a 2DS for my son for Christmas this year. Really hope this Luigi version makes it to NA!
idk but to me this looks ugly o.O but nice to know that they have different models?
The year of Luigi has been a success to me. I loved Mansion 2 and Dream Team and this would be an honorable way to end the year that gave Luigi the recognition he deserves.
That's amazing. Now, YEAR OF LUIGI 3DS XL PLZ
I love Luigi but I don't like it. It is way too simple and boring.
It's just a rumor guys. Relax already. Looks nice though.
Now if this was 100% more Zelda themed...
ooh if this does become available I may actually get a 2DS, I wasn't planning on it.
@Tokujo because some games made to use the cameras still use both even when not in 3d
@Tokujo to share 3d photos weird but yeah works still...
@motang Because it's not officially confirmed. There's still a possibility that it's a fake
@ScroogeMcLz ah, gotcha!
Everything looks nice, except for the colored buttons and d-pad. Like someone above said, it makes the console look tacky and cheap. Here's to hoping it's confirmed!
I would get it if it was an XL. So tempting...
The 2DS is actually really good, it feels great and has awesome battery life.
I swear if this comes to North America, but not the 3DS XL, I am gonna be so ticked...
What a collector's gem.
I go for the Zelda 3DS XL which is 10 times nicer.. Just don't like white and green..
That's for me.
Now, just wish that orange/black 3DS was coming stateside as well.
Very nice.
I saw the 2DS in person a few nights ago, actually isn't bad of a device. Wish I had thought to ask the person if I could hold it for a minute. The current selections are very boy-ish though, they should consider making a Peach or pink themed one so more parents would consider grabbing this for their little girls this season.
Beautiful!
I might consider buying it maybe resell it at a higher price.
why can't the 3DS XL look like this new 2DS??? I don't want a 2DS but that's one sweet looking console.
@Pro-N-Gamer I love green and titanium color the most, but I must say i'll make an exception for the 3DS XL Zelda - Gold.
That would be even more of a rare collectible in the future than the Wii Mini!
That actually looks really nice. The only thing I find weird is the circle pad isn't green too so it sticks out a bit. It'd be perfect for St. Patrick's Day too..
Looking at these one of these pictures, I can't help but doubt the authenticity of this. Looking at the picture that shows the back of the system, I can't see the text that is normally on the back of Nintendo's handhelds as well as the serial number label. Why would those be missing? Its a small detail, I know, but its enough to make me doubt that this is real.
Edit: Just noticed there is also a dependency between the system pictured on the box and the actual system itself. Notice that on the system pictured on the box that the bezel around the top screen is white yet the actual system appears to have a black bezel around the top screen.
@Ecto-1: Colors on packaging don't always match the product inside, you know. Just sayin'.
This could boost the 2ds
@Omarsonic9 there already is one. I think you mean regular 3DS.
Finally, a 2ds F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S enough to buy!!!! So much wins!
2014 should be the year of Star Fox!
