First impressions: Hands-on with Nintendo 2DS | N10GG
N10GG:
When covering video games, sometimes judging with your hands is more important than with your eyes or ears.
It's hard not to review the Nintendo 2DS — launching Oct. 12 for $130 — without seeming a bit puzzled. Forget that there's no 3-D capability (hence the 2DS name). This version of Nintendo's popular handheld ditches the clamshell design. So, instead of opening and closing the handheld as you would with 3DS and earlier DS models, the 2DS arrives with a slate form factor.
