Nintendo 2DS size compared to DS and DSXL

A Photo showing the Nintendo 2DS alongside the 3DS and the DSXL. It shows that the console is smaller than its counterparts overall which is a surprise considering it looks visibly more bulky in the promo shots.

I just hope the next thing they release is a 3DS XL Lite, simply a 3DS XL just more slim with an extra analog finally built in.

dredgewalker3885d ago

Doubt it, though I'd be counting on a 2DS xl in clamshell form for the adults wanting a cheaper 3ds xl if the 2DS becomes successful.

Chard3884d ago

Doesn't the regular 3DS fill the position of both '3DS XL Lite' and '2DS XL Clamshell'?

mewhy323884d ago

Nintendo could fall prey to having too many skus on their handheld. I understand why they did the 2ds because of the 7 and under thing with the 3d on eye development.

mcstorm3884d ago

@mewhy32 I can see where your coming from but I think Nintendo can get away with the 2DS, 3DS and 3DSXL as there are 3 different price points and 3 different prices for 3 different parts of the market.

If they start to introduce more then I think they could be in trouble but the 3 as they are could should be ok.

@Chard
The regular 3ds doesn't have the bigger screen of an xl. There's potential for a 2ds xl clamshell for adults who can't see 3d and would rather shell out for a cheaper version of an 3ds xl. It'd would be probably be a lot easier to produce too since they'll just have to replace the 3DS xl screen with a non 3d screen and do a bit of cosmetic changes to set it apart from an xl. If I already didn't have a 3ds xl and they'd release one I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Bloody Tearful: An ode to DS-era Castlevania Games

Castlevania’s twilight years were some of its best, but they were not enough to avert the dramatic end of the series as we knew and loved it.

Someone should fire to the lowest pit the guy on Konami that thought mobile gaming was the future and destroyed MGS, Castlevania and other franchises in the way.

I think that might have been a group decision, but lol!

Wii U & 3DS eShop are gone. What now? - Opinion Piece

Dan Rizzo says "So this is where we’re at with Nintendo and their continuous colloquy of tedious arguments against emulation. It’s funny how a company that’s so against open-source emulation, uses it to sell commercial products such as the NES and SNES Classic Mini, but release a minimal quantity to drum-up all the hype behind it, only to leave a majority of its fanbase disappointed when struggling to acquire the now collector’s piece."

Jailbreak. It was pretty easy on the 3ds, there are good guides out there.

CrimsonWing69377d ago

someone made a good point that older music, movies, and books are far more easier to get access to than games. I think the industry needs to make a change. It's crazy that so much is gone now and I'm willing to pay for the games, but there's literally no way to get them now.

fan_of_gaming377d ago

I can't speak to music as I don't collect it, and books are still quite accessible through paperbacks & hardcover releases. But movies & tv shows are starting to have a problem with accessibility now, with all these streaming-exclusives. Before everything would get a DVD or Blu-ray release, but now if content is pulled from a streamer, like happened with some HBO Max stuff recently, there's often no physical disc option or even a digital download through a service like iTunes. They're just lost media, same as delisted digital-only games.

No surprise, but a sad day for gaming with hundreds of exclusive titles to be lost forever

Petebloodyonion798d ago

it's sad that no one is actually outraged by that piece of news ut it's even worse to Sony because Nintendo acknowledges that going forward they would only release classic content thru the Nintendo online membership.
Basically, they are killing the store to create value for Switch and the Nintendo membership.
