So I've noticed that the New 3DS XL has been discontinued in Europe and I could do with a replacement as many of the buttons aren't working properly (right now I can technically only play strategy RPGs). Is the New 2DS XL a good replacement even though there's no 3D feature?
Bought one to replace my 3DS that stopped working. Won't lie, I used the 3D feature quite a bit and miss that but the 2DS does everything else just fine. If you don't use 3d a lot, 2DS is a perfectly suitable option.

I'm guessing the rest of the planet is right around the corner.
I have an interest in this topic as well since I'd like to upgrade to a newer iteration of the 2/3DS family in the next few months. I have an OG red 3DS from the Super Mario 3D Land bundle that was available during the 2011-2012 holiday season. It still works like a dream and has had very few hiccups over the years (though I do really baby it), but I'm concerned that I'll start it up one day and have nothing but a black screen or something. I'd still like to keep it around as a backup system.
I'd really love to get a N3DS XL (well, a normal-sized one really, but we all know I'd have to pay way more than one's worth at this point....Curse your lousy decisions, NoA....) since I love the 3D effect in a lot of the games that I've played. Plus, I think they look sturdier than the N2DS XL. However, painful as it would be, I can ultimately live without the 3D effect. The main thing I find attractive is the N2DS's lower price point.
Currently playing: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Switch)

New 2DS XL is Basically New 3DS XL Without 3D Slider.
Just only that.
From the body size, a little bit slimmer than New 3DS XL, but still have Exactly Same Monitor size as New 3DS XL.
They are cheaper, have Sleek design like IPhone + Closer like Nintendo Switch.
If you Never care about 3D Slider, NEW 2DS XL is for you.
I love using my 2ds xl. I got the white and orange color. I used to have an og 2ds but I wanted those snes VC games and I wanted something more comfortable to hold. I've used the 3d on the new 3ds of a friend of mine and I honestly could care less for it.
The differences:
1. Weighs less (+)
2. A little bit smaller (most likely a +)
3. Nicer shoulder buttons (+)
4. Smaller stylus (-)
5. Speakers on bottom half (-)
6. Easier to add memory (+)
7. Sounds like all 2ds xl models come with the brighter screen whereas the 3DS xl was a gamble. (+)
8. No 3D (-)
