VincentASM Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I sincerely thought this was a joke at first. It's an interesting idea, but actually calling it a "Nintendo 2DS" is just too funny for me ^^;;; That's coming from somebody who doesn't play with 3D on too.

HK Motendra Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It seems almost pointless plus it doesn't even look like a DS anymore but it's nice to have an alternative for those who can't afford a 3DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monde Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Damn you beat me to posting about it. xD But yeah it looks really awkward to hold with the xbya buttons at the top. And the tablet-like design doesn't fit, i liked the clam shell design better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ercdouken Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 That design looks bad and awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I actually saw this through Cam which was neat. I don't really use my 3D on my 3DS but I understand how this thing could be used as a moneymaker. There's no real problem with it, I think the design is neat enough.

AstraLunaSol Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 it may look awkward, but it apparently holds well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) The design is hideous but it's actually a good idea. It will be cheap and will sell REALLY well. Now we are close to the wii u without the tablet (which i'll buy without a doubt) My god, imaginr playing kid icarus uprizing on that thing lol Edited August 28, 2013 by Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Rain Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nintendo 2DS is a funny name, I thought it was a joke too. looks so uncomfortable to use, buttons must be next to the screen below, and you can't put that on your pocket because is not clam shell (At least looks big) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just saw this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=78754853&postcount=1701 It doesnt look that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'd want to see one in person first, but if it actually can be easily and safely pocketed and is comfortable to use, I would actually buy this over the other models. Because I am cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I still don't have a console to play Pokemon X/Y on so this is good news as I'd rather save some money for gym and alcohol. I don't wait if I'll wait for that long since I'll want to have a console by the time the new Pokemon comes out (even though I was pretty close to ordering Awakening from abroad).

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 "t's the first non-clamshell Nintendo handheld since the 2005 Game Boy Micro." I was ****ing waiting for this NOSTALGIAAAAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 ...That thing looks ridiculous. Good thing I already have two 3DSs and don't need to buy this. I'd hate it as much as I hated the GB Micro. xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashiane Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I like...! Of course, I already HAVE a 3DS and I actually utilize the 3D function from time to time, so... not buying it. But I actually don't mind the design, and I'm sure it'll be very popular with younger children and their parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookofholsety Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 the only thing i can really fault it for is that the button orientation looks pretty awkward at first glance, owing almost entirely to how far away the home button is from the intended hand locations; last i checked, thumbs don't stretch that way. it also looks downright weird in that i've been used to the buttons being on the bottom half of Nintendo handhelds for so long, but that's more my loss than anything otherwise, not bad. not bad at all. my 3DS is perfectly fine of course, so i certainly don't need one, but i sure as hell know quite a few people who'll be really glad for the slightly more budget option. i can hardly fault Nintendo for trying to make the device more accessible to the wallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ether Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 As someone who gets headaches from the 3D, I wish this had been an option when I bought my 3DS... woulda saved me a pretty little penny that's for true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Probably would've gotten this myself if it was an option at the time, tbqh- I rarely bring my 3DS around and don't use 3D all that much. Would've been half the price too! Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 They already had a Nintendo 2DS. It was called Nintendo DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowofchaos Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 They already had a Nintendo 2DS. It was called Nintendo DS. Hardware upgrade, bro. Also, what I heard is that some kid died because of said 3D feature or something. But other than that, the price will attract at least some people, even though Nintendo's Youtube video is getting shelled A LOT of dislikes. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Also, what I heard is that some kid died because of said 3D feature or something. What the actual fuck. How the hell that happened? I literally can not think of any way this could happen lol. That's the most stupid death I've ever heard about.

BrightBow Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) The idea is definitely great. I often get he impression that I am the only person I know, who either can see the 3D or doesn't get major headaches from it.

Ein Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I might be able to actually hold this 2DS without hurting my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samias Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I don't think anyone has died from 3D images, but there is ongoing debate on whether or not 3D is suitable for young eyes. There are also people who simply cannot stomach 3D effects and have headaches triggered. The design is really goofy but I think this device was mostly designed for the under-8 crowd, where the hinged design might prove to be more fragile. I imagine the battery life must be improved too. I personally won't be getting one, but theoretically this is s good idea. The overall look is kinda questionable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
