it's gonna be like Rythem Heaven Megamix! which was super cool tho not as cool at the original games!! but I'm still hype!!!

I'm getting the sense that both of these franchises aren't gonna make the jump to switch (Nintendo reorganized a few years ago and the team that made these is no more) so these compilations are their way of saying goodbye. I could be wrong tho.

Playing LBW in 2D is wrong.

Seconded. I didn't use it much because I have a normal 3DS and it sucks to use the 3D on it, but that game is beautiful in 3D so it kinda sucks to package it with a system that can't make use of it.

Although it is a nice design.

I actually just finished replaying LBW on a 2DS XL (I originally played it in 3D), and the game relies on 3D much more than I originally realized. There are a few points where the lack of depth perception makes it harder than it should be (especially: flying enemies on multiple height levels that are very hard to figure out by their shadows and sizes alone). And of course, the whole thing just doesn't look as good.

Still, this doesn't ruin the great game, and that 2DS design looks pretty sick.

I think it might be. The Pikachu face and Pokeball designs both have some 3D patterns (Pokeball even has a pressable button that does nothing), and this one is priced the same, $10 more than the normal version.

Look at this scrub only musing over owning two 3DS models.

Some of us are up to four :smuggo: (3DS->XL->nXL for actual upgrades... and a 2DS because it was the transparent Pikachu one with Pokemon Yellow and :shepspends:. It's also my travel-with-me one.)

I need to buy a circle pad cover for my New 3DS XL. It's gotten to the point where it's just permanently kinda sticky because of all the oils mixing in from my thumb. And I'm pretty OCD when it comes to washing my hands before using electronic gadgets.

I even called Nintendo to see how much it would cost to replace it... $80! Yikes.

The new2DS is a 2DS that does indeed fold up. And, as the name implies, has the hardware specs of the new3DS's sans-3D.

What's dying? If it's the battery, that can easily and cheaply be replaced.

Yeah probably a New 2DS, unless you need 3D for something. It's identical otherwise.

I think they gave the new 2DS a lesser battery so it would have the same uptime as the 3DS which is lame.

I actually beat most of the game with randoms and had some fun. It's actually piss-easy when you mic up, so sometimes doing runs with noobs on levels I'd already done was fun

It gets old pretty quick, but they were definitely encouraging vets to return to levels to help new players, with the materials and clothing systems

Of course, you're going to get into a match once in a while where one player doesn't get it, or someone wants to gently caress around, but the levels are short and this never really shook me

At least according to that guy who claims to have taken his New 2DS apart

It makes sense, Nintendo wouldn't wanna bother with buying mass quantities of a bunch of different battery types if they can get most of their hardware to use one specific one. This is the same battery also used in the Wii U and Switch pro controllers.

There's a nintendo support article that says the new 2DS XL has a battery life similar to the new 3DS but it says the new 3DS XL has a longer battery life. Considering the 2DS doesn't have to render as many pixels as the 3DS, I'd assume they have a bigger battery in the n3DSXL than in the n3DS/n2DSXL. And that link you posted seems to support that.

For the longest time I thought the 3DS was just a DS with 3D effects for certain games. I know there were people that thought the WiiU was a tablet peripheral for the Wii. How do they come up with that poo poo?

Buddy of mine worked electronics at Walmart when the 3DS launched. He would DAILY have to educate people on the difference, and about a third of the time people would buy a 3DS game anyway and angrily try to return it hours later.

I can see the 2DS and especially the New 3DS being confusing, but back when the OG 3DS was released was there really that much confusion that it was a new handheld?
