Topic: Nintendo 2DS???

I've got to accept that the red+white one looks pretty nice.

I may need to get my mom this model to replace her DSi. I add in a cart of animal crossing and it will be her favorite thing ever.

This was quite the thing to wake up and see....

Uhhhhh, I would honestly pay another $40 to have something sleek and compact like the original model, and not that thing.

From DS to 3DS to 2DS, Nintendo marketing team just troll Iwata, don't they?

Someone kept saying this on the forums recently. Well, they got it!

now things are like this but, for example, the first DS had a nasty habit of breaking the hinge in a few months because it was divided into rings(or because I was a careless kid ^^' ) and sometimes the sound and topscreen circuits are broken for too much open/close movements(never heard of this happening to the 3DS but almost every DS model AND the GBASP had this problem)

DS Lite hinge cracking, happened to me.

2DS

most stupid name ever. omfg even "vita" is a better name or at least not that confusing

My DSLite was pretty much like a dead chicken after few months of use.

About the 2DS name... I hope they keep the longer name "2DS: a 2D 3DS".

One thing no one seems to remember is that parents can turn the 3D off in the parental controls.

I came home from school and life exploded. I don't know what to do with myself... It looks.. Uh... Interesting?

I would have bought this if they added another stick/circle pad on it

But why pay more for a system that has a feature you don't want?

So, at the time of this post, the "Nintendo 2DS Introduction" video has 7,542 dislikes, and 4,537 likes. The ratio of dislike to like has been pretty constant all day!

I wouldn't read too much into it to be honest. The internet always tends to draw a certain kind of person who hates anything that isn't 'artistic' or 'original' in some way, and I could tell the minute I saw this system that it'd be something internet goers would complain/whine about.

at this point i am sure there will not be a 3ds with a second analog nub. we will have to wait for the next gen of handhelds (or get a vita if you're into that stuff)

^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2DS is an even worse name than WiiU(yeah the console might rule, don't have one so I'm not sure if it's good enough to rule , but the name sucks!)

and to the hater haters I was a gamer kid and I used everything on my videogames, I just dislike it because that design is the same thing as saying "you won't be able to fully use your videogame unless you want hand problems!" I cared if I could play comfortably ANY game allowed by myself(and my parents but I was even more aware and respectful about age ratings than them) and problems for kids is bad for nintendo!

P.S. forget it I love the 2DS as a kid's system because it might end being so troublesome that nintendo might drop the younger market for some time thinking 2D and kiddy versions don't sell, when their idea that was executed the wrong way.

Kind of makes the 3D of the 3DS redundant to me, like how the Game Pad is for Wii U. These are just gimmicks that don't need to be there.

And I really think that, over everything else, the worst part about it is the placement of the shoulder buttons; or really, just the buttons in general. There are games (KI:U) that require use of the touchscreen and the L/R buttons at the same time - that really wouldn't work very well with this setup. If they dropped them onto the back, a la the WiiU gamepad, its main issue would be removed. But as it stands, it seems like a bad design choice to move the touchscreen so far from the buttons.
