Nintendo announced a revised version of the Nintendo 3DS called Nintendo 2DS. This is a cheaper version of the Nintendo 3DS that plays 3DS games, but only in 2D.

 

The Nintendo 2DS will launch on October 12, the same day as Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, for $129.99. A regular Nintendo 3DS costs $169.99 and the 3DS XL retails for $199.99.

The hell....?

Well, far as my opinion goes, this is kind of a Nintendo 3DS Lite?

Looks weird,I'd rather have a 3DS

Yeah it's ugly...but it's not a big deal to freak out for at all

 

This is pretty much the PSP GO of the 3DS

I thought this was a joke when I saw it on the 3DS blog comments. I promptly went to Siliconera and found that it was, indeed, true.

 

The idea behind it sounds alright, but that design... Why get rid of the clamshell and replace it with something so... hideous. Best way to describe it:

 

Nintendo, go home. You're drunk.

This model is for kids whose parents don't like the 3D feature,hence the lower price

This model is for 8 year old kids and below and for those parents who don't like the 3D in the 3DS

 

 

Yes it's ugly as shit,but why is it a big deal????

 

This model isn't for us,therefore we won't get it

But just turn the slider off? There does not need to be a new model, and anyway I think in the 3DS settings you can turn 3D off  completely no matter what the slider, I'm not mad at the design even if it looks really dumb. This wasn't needed, the money used for the 2DS could of been put into other things, why is all I can say.

Kinda pointless. They shouldn't have used so much money on something that won't be bought that often, especially since the 3DS is exactly the same, and can be used with Parental Controls to restrict the 3D.

It's cheaper than the actual 3DS

 

this is for people who can't buy a 3DS 

 

Why the freak out people????

 

This is just for poor people who don't have enough money for a normal 3DS or a 3DS XL

 

We're not the only people who buy video games guys.

 

The model is ugly yes,but people who couldn't buy a 3DS because they're low on money can save some cash and get it

Wow,if people are freaking out on news like this that won't affect them

 

I'd imagine what happened if they knew Iwata uses normal bathrooms....they'll freak out and say...WHY NINTENDO....IWATA SHOULD HAVE TOILET MADE OT GOLD!!!

I actually see a strategy behind this. It comes out the same days as Pokemon X and Y, is aimed at kids, doesn't have a hinge (the most commonly broken part of a DS/3DS), doesn't include the 3D feature which is only recommended for ages 7 and up, and its cheaper. I can definitely see parents buying this so their younger kids get to play Pokemon. Thinking about it like this, this ugly little handheld might make Nintendo a pretty penny.

I'm not freaking out, it's just a waste of money and investment on Nintendos part, 3DS aren't that expensive anyway, I think people would rather shell out the extra money than get this. And what does buying games have to do with anything? Nintendo kinda screwed up on this end. I think young kids would prefer a normal 3DS which feels better in their hands and young children are usually the ones who take their handhelds everywhere with them, this design gets rid of this idea.

 

It's not as bad as ideas such as the Virtual boy lets say, but it's pointless, it wasn't needed IMO. But it's Nintendo so it will print money, I just rather they did more stuff with what they have now instead of introducing.. well... this.

What waste???

 

The amount of money wasted on this is sooo little it's unnoticable especially with the high sales of the 3DS that will cover the production cost

 

Again,this product is not for me or you

Meanwhile,at a much important news than this

Nintendo has announced a price cut for the Wii U alongside the Wind Waker Bundle

 

 

 

 

How about we care about this more than the 2DS????

 

Why is it that people like to be negative

 

I bet if Sony announced a PS Vita model like this....people will praise it as something from the heavens

Before everyone freaks out

But if you didn't want to use 3D on your 3DS, you could turn it off instead of creating a whole new handheld....

The Wii U price drop is good, but that's not the topic of conversation.

 

And hold your horses, that's a bit of fanboyism there. The vita has been heavily criticized and if a new model was announced it would get just as much slack as the 2DS is, I'm criticizing what has been presented to me, I don't care what company it's from. I don't want a Vita because it doesn't have any games which interest me, much like I don't want a Wii U yet till the games come out for it. And wouldn't it be better to create a product which appeals  to all ages, I already thought the 3DS did that, to say it's not for me or you is not a good argument in this case. It's like an adult saying Pokemon sucks but the only defence is it doesn't suck because its aimed at children, it should appeal to all ages IMO.

 

I don't really want to continue this discussion any further, this is a topic about the 2DS, so of course we're gonna talk about it, I think it's not good from most standpoints, but it's gonna make a lot of money for Nintendo and that's all most company needs at this point eh?

Oh man it looks soooo dumb

But if you didn't want to use 3D on your 3DS, you could turn it off instead of creating a whole new handheld....

Yeah but some people have the mentality that they shouldn't pay for 3D

 

So this is a much cheaprt option without the 3D

 

Not to mention that it'll release on the same day as Pokemon X & Y

 

I think you can do the math:

 

When parents buy a handheld like 3DS for their kids they might think like this

 

Pokemon+much cheaper 3DS=saving a good amount of cash while giving their kids the full experience with cheaper price

Here in the UK it'll be £109, and I bought my 3DS a year ago for £100.  It's only around £25 cheaper and with a 3DS when the kid it older he could flick the switch and start using the 3D effect instead of buying another console for it when the time comes.

While I see the point some kids wouldn't keep the 3D effect off I still think it should be considerably cheaper for what it is to actually outweigh the benefit of paying the little bit more.

And the main reason I like 3DS/DSs over the PS handhelds is because they close over which protects the screen, I could see the screen on these flat ones meant to be owned by kids getting scratched pretty fast.

I totally see your point,but the thing is

 

Me,you and countless others already have a 3DS since 2011 and 2012 so this doesn't affect me and you at all

 

This is for people who want to save as much money as possible

When I read the title of this thread I honestly thought this was a joke. Lol the design looks so awkward and un-ds like and I don't understand why one would need this when they could just turn off the 3D on a regular 3DS. 

 

*Shrugs* Well whatever Nintendo. o_o

Because this is much cheaper than a normal 3DS and most parents who aren't gamers like to save some money

Well when I saw this I though this thread was going to be in Random but it wasn't and it's actually true....oh well doesn't affect me I'll just be playing my 3DS.

Quit freaking out. If people want to say it's stupid. They can say it's stupid. You're making a big deal out of nothing. 

God damn. Tell the kiddies to not raise the 3D. God damn problem god damn solved.
