The most ergonomic 3DS yet
Slightly improved battery life
Affordable
Works with all 3DS and DS games
Who used 3D playback anyway?
There are some great Nintendo games out there

Ships with power adaptor
Not uncomfortable in use (despite looks)
The Nintendo 2DS is the most affordable portable system for a younger gamer or for those not interested in 3D visuals. It packs in a 4GB SD card and gives players access to the 3DS' impressive library of cartridge-based and downloadable games. Best of all
Cheap price
Amazing games
Durable design
The first thing that hits you when you pick up the Nintendo 2DS is how surprisingly robust it feels. Yes
This is a cheaper version of the 3DS
But it's clearly been constructed to withstand a fair amount of punishment. In fact
It takes us back to the days of the Game Boy and Game Boy Color - two incredibly resilient machines aimed at overzealous youngsters who didn't care about such things as c
Cheap
Plays all 3DS and DS games
Child-friendly design
Comfortable to hold
Comfortable shoulder buttons
3D dropped
Bigger catalogue of games
Inexpensive
Does everything the 3DS can
Except 3D
Hinge
Free design is more kid
Friendly
The editors didn't like
Won't fit in your pocket
3D camera feels pointless
We miss the hinge
Feels cheap
Plasticky and toylike
Won't fit in pocket
Non-folding design
Might not suit young kids' small hands
Not exactly ergonomic brilliance
Least attractive DS out there
No auto power saving mode
Battery life should really be better
The 2DS feels cheap and has only one speaker
Which sounds a little lacking. Though it's designed for children
There are a few vulnerable spots on the 2DS
And it might not survive a bad fall. By today's standards
Its screens feel too small
Needs a case
Least elegant DS platform
No 3D
Losing the 3D option might not be as dramatic as you think
But it's still a shame to see it removed from this scaled-down system - it's the 3DS console's main talking point
After all. Another drawback of the 2DS is the mono speaker
Which isn't fantastic quality. Stereo sound is still available via the headphone socket
However.The console also loses the clamshell design of the original 3DS sys

With a new low price, the 2DS offers a huge array of compelling games and makes for a great entry-level system for uninitiated first-time gamers...

I genuinely don't have a problem with the 2DS dropping 3D functionality, on the whole, because I so very rarely use it myself, but also because there are relatively few games that use 3D in an actually engaging way. Even titles like Pilotwings Resort work...
Affordable and durable, Perfect for kids, Plays all 3DS games
Mono speaker, 3D camera feels pointless, Still not sold on the wedge
We liked The 2DS is a great way of entering Nintendo's handheld family without spending too much money to do so, but we're really talking to kids and parents here. Come Christmas day there's sure to be a lot of these around trees and hopefully pack with s...
Abstract: Our first reaction to the Nintendo 2DS was stupefaction - we simply couldn't understand why the thing existed.The latest addition to Nintendo 's “3DS family” of consoles, the 2DS plays all 3DS and DS games, but removes the 3DS and 3DS XL's raison d'êtres ...

Great library of games and StreetPass software, The most ergonomic 3DS yet, Slightly improved battery life
Feels cheap, plasticky and toy-like, Poor online and multiplayer features, Mono speaker and no second stick
At £110, the 2DS is £30 cheaper than the 3DS, and £50 cheaper than the 3DS XL. The 3DS XL is still the best choice for most, as it offers the biggest screens and the most complete feature set of the lot.The 2DS, meanwhile, is really only suited to the ver...

El Nintendo 2DS es un sistema sólido y asequible para un jugador joven o para aquellos a quienes no les interesan las imágenes 3D. Trae una tarjeta SD de 4GB y se desempeña tan bien como su hermano, el 3DS (con excepción de la tercera dimensión)
El 2DS se siente, digamos, barato, y solo tiene una bocina a la cual le falta potencia. Aunque está diseñado para niños, hay varios puntos débiles en el 2DS, y es probable que no sobreviva una mala caída
A US$130, el 2DS ofrece una enorme variedad de software y es un excelente sistema para novatos. Solo asegúrate de comprar también una cubierta protectora....
Abstract: De la nada y sin ningún rumor ni filtración detrás, Nintendo hizo oficial una nueva versión de su consola portátil estrella, el Nintendo 2DS, que llega como una variante del Nintendo 3DS eliminando la capacidad 3D y su cuerpo plegable.Y hace poco en VidaE...
Robuste Bauweise, Gute Handhabung, 4-Gigabyte-SD-Karte im Paket, 3D-Aufnahme per Kamera möglich
Mäßige Bildqualität, Etwas lange Ladezeit von Internetseiten, Mäßige Kameraqualität, Keine räumliche Betrachtung der Kamera-Aufnahmen möglich
Wer großen Wert auf eine robustes Gerät legt, macht mit dem 2DS nichts falsch – der fehlende Klappmechanismus hat nämlich auch Vorteile. Aber der 2DS ist nur 30 Euro günstiger als der großzügiger ausgestattete 3DS. Dieser bleibt daher die eindeutig besser...
