King Marth 64 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Nintendo just showed a trailer of the Brand New 3DS system from the New Nintendo 3DS family that it's called New Nintendo 2DS. The design of the New Nintendo 2DS isn't like those regular Nintendo 2DS systems, I guess it will make fair since the Nintendo 2DS didn't have a New counterpart came along with the regular New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL back then when they showed off the New counterparts of the Nintendo 3DS and XL models. Edit: I did saw they did show off Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia was in this trailer as well. And we did see first look at the localized box art of Hey! Pikmin and Miitopia looked like since we did saw them in the previous Nintendo Direct. The price is $149.99 and it will be available at July 28th.

Harvey Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 My only question to this is where are the speakers on that thing? As for thoughts...I mean, Nintendo has been known to do this from time to time. I mean remember the GBA Micro that just showed up as soon as the DS got released?

Dismissed Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Dang it. I have a regular 2DS (Cheaper than 3DS) already. This thing looks nice and portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look down&left of the Wifi light. There's one on the other side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Still rolling with the original 3DS line. But if I ever need a replacement in the future, this looks like a good model to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 :o that looks really neat-o actually... and is that a non-shiny outer cover? IDK the trailer looked suspicious, but I definately think the back cover of the top screen was not shiny (at least not as shiny as the screen was). The finish on the new 3DS is awful, its all finger prints and grime! Give me back my matte finish! I wish they had come out with this when the new 3DS came out... I would have bought this one over the N3DS in a heartbeat. It just looks better... and 3D is actually not that great to be honest. Bah, guess you win some and lose some... oh well.

Wist Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I wish this is what had immediately succeeded the DS line instead of the 3DS. I wonder how well it will sell. Is the 3DS still selling well? I also wonder what the battery life will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) That 150 USD MSRP actually doesn't look half bad... I could consider getting it and join in on the FE Warriors fun later this fall. Edited April 28, 2017 by Roflolxp54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayni Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Not going to lie, much as I didn't like the first versions of the 2DS, this one has enough functionality for me to pick this up and pass my 3DS to my brother instead of waiting for a New 3DS price drop.

Sire Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 This is a welcome development as my launch 3DS is rather aged and worn (broken L&R buttons). I never really used the 3D functionality of the 3DS, so losing that is not a big deal. However, I do dislike the "accents" they put on. Can't I have just a plain black New 2DS? I don't need colorful buttons and the like as I find them distracting. A shame it releases in late July though. I would like a New3DS so I can play Echoes with amiibo functionality, and would like to pick up a Switch over the summer so I can play Splattoon 2 (among other titles). The lack of income is definitely not helping my case with wanting the new shiny stuff, so chances are I'll have to pass on everything until Christmas if I am lucky.

Zera Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Wow, that was a slick trailer for a slick game system. If I didn't already have an original 3DS, that's the one I would buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant head Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 man i would have def preferred this to the new 3ds, if this was out back in 2015 when i bought one oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SullyMcGully Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I've currently got the old 2DS, but this looks like a great improvement. I wonder when it will start selling used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackc2 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well this is unexpected, seems like they actually do plan to keep the 3ds around properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well, the DS did have a lifespan of at least eight years, right? I don't see why the 3DS can't as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrymidfields Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I'll be happy to get this as well. As someone who finds the 3D effect painful to watch and completely unnecessary to play with (and bought the 2DS which was essentially a AU$50 discount from the 3DS), I'll be happy to trade that off with whatever discount there is compared to the New 3DS.
