Holy gently caress so this is as good as a new 3ds but with a smaller profile and without the 3d

For a split second I thought maybe it'd be cool up to upgrade to this but the thought of wrenching the backplate off my MH4U 3DS to get that memory card into the new one puts me off.

I'd buy it if it was a big ugly monstrosity that kept the candy bar design of the old 2DS. I still want it though for reasons I can't articulate. Are the screens bigger than N3DSXL ones?

What games do people feel have utilized the 3D the best? I'm letting "best" be as broadly defined as people want it to be (clever use for gameplay mechanics, visually interesting, etc).

My vote would go to Kirby Triple Deluxe, that was seriously some of the coolest and consistently engaging use of 3D I've seen in any 3DS game I've played.

The launch Mario game had a few platforms that were only revealed with 3D mode.

Then Senran Kagura wouldn't exist if not for the 3D feature.

I saw the post about the New 2DS XL on Reddit and thought it was a joke. Watched the YouTube video and uh

This might just be the nicest looking version of the *DS console Nintendo has released, and the trigger buttons and c-stick actually look usable now?

Goddamn it Nintendo you've already claimed like all of my yearly videogames budget with the Switch, why do you want even more from me

A lot of the impact comes from games that also maintain high framerates in 3D - Triple Deluxe is one such game, Zelda Link Between Worlds is another.

Shovel Knight and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse are both great examples of stereoscopic pixel games, and the Sega 3D Classics are fantastic conversions of old games to stereoscopic 3D.

They're very basic games but I find Pushmo/Crashmo/Stretchmo to be much easier to play with 3D turned on.

3D Land, LBW and the Kirby games did it best. I do still like it and have never turned it off since getting a New except for games that tank the framerate with it on.

why are you guys buying this?? just to save $50? You're not really saving money if you're buying a console you had no plans of getting as of this morning though...

what does it even do that other models don't, i'm so confused right now (doubly so at how excited some of you who already own a 3ds seem to be)

Iwata came to the general managers in a dream after they had a meeting over whether or not they should make one last 3DS revision.

He told them he was wrong, Avatar sucked and 3D* ended up hurting things more than they helped things. "Make a nice looking 2DS instead."


*Stereoscopic 3D that is, not playing games in a 3D plane. Those are still rad.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
I'm just baffled at this. If it was released closer to the original 2DS, I would understand. But now really doesn't seem like the best time to spend resources on producing those.

well whatever I guess, at least it will probably extend the lifespan of the system and keep devs pumping content out, which is never a bad thing for a system

Still lol @ this because I'm ready to move over to the switch come the holidays, the resolution on these things really really is piss poor (and the XL screen magnifies the outdated harware even more imo)

I'm sure the patent application for that is just usual scattershot development just-in-case work, but given the decent quality out of Samsung Gear VR I'd believe it if Nintendo actually tried for a Switch-driven VR headset.

Best guess is "the 2DS is dead, long live the new2DS."

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
On one hand I never got a 3DS, don't care about 3D, and $150 is about as much as I'd pay for one. On the other hand, that resolution.

The GBA Micro owned. It had a "retina screen" before that was a thing.

I thought so too but they're exactly the same according to this: http://www.nintendo.com/2ds/features/compare/

It's slightly thinner, weighs less and it comes with a charger compared to the N3DSXL.
