Nintendo 2DS announced
[Image: 2ds-610x486.jpg]

Perhaps realising that 3D was over-hyped by the industry, Nintendo are releasing a cut down version of the 3DS, named the 2DS.  Differences primarily being:
- doesn't have the 3D feature of the 3DS (ie the 3D slider turned all the way down)
- abandons the clamshell design
The 2DS plays all the same games that the 3DS does.

Available in NA on October 12 (same release date as Pokemon X/Y) for $130.  EU/AU release date is also the same, just slightly different prices.

RE: Nintendo 2DS announced
wait wait what, I saw something about this earlier and thought it was a joke.


Well then!

I guess it's a decent alternative to those who don't use the 3D slider. I don't use it but there's also the fact that this 2DS will be cheaper. Not too crazy about that design though. Button/D-pad placement look weird but thetn again I'm used to having them further south next to the lower screen.

$130...If that was too high for people to buy the 3DS, why would they buy this?

I mean its current discounted price. They must not be selling very well for Nintendo to release this, right?

RE: Nintendo 2DS announced
it actually looks pretty good although i do prefer the flip design. i find 3D to be a bit pointless anyway to be honest unless you want to give yourself constant headaches. now then if nintendo can release majora's mask for the 2/3DS along with a special edition 2/3DS i will definitely be throwing my money their way

Cheaper to produce = cheaper price
