No 3D (but even that's not necessarily a bad thing), stylus is much shorter and a little unwieldy
That's actually the only downside to the new console we can see; who is it really aimed at?Nintendo has sold more than 67 million 3DS handhelds in one form or another, so surely there's not that many gamers out there who haven't got one already. It's not...

Abstract: The full name of Nintendo's latest handheld-only console is the New Nintendo 2DS XL, a title that almost requires breaking down into parts to fully understand. It's a 2DS because it's like a 3DS without the stereoscopic 3D. It's XL because its screen is t...

When we played on a new 2DS XL for the first time, our immediate impression was that it was light, much lighter than a 3DS XL. Holding one in each hand provided confirmation. It is much lighter, slightly sexier too, with the coloured trim and slightly mot...

Our first impressions of the New Nintendo 2DS XL are very positive indeed. The firm has combined the best bits of existing handheld consoles and made various improvements to create a really desirable bit of kit. Stay tuned for a full review soon.Tags:Game...
Abstract: Nintendo is still basking in the success of its revolutionary Switch gaming console, with its versatile hybrid design and array of exclusive and new indie game titles, so it seemed like an odd move to add yet another handheld console to its arsenal – the...
