I guess everyone knows about this by now... the next member of the 3DS family is the... 2DS. I think it's a pretty weird move by Nintendo, and the console itself definitely looks strange. But I kind of like it. If I had the option I would have stuck with my DS Lite rather than move to a 3DS anyway as I don't care for 3D at all. The design reminds me a bit of the original Gameboy/Gameboy Advance. But I think the DS worked well with the folding to protect the screens. It's great that there is a cheap option out there, especially for young kids who can't use the 3D anyway. And releasing it on the same day as X and Y is a great strategy.

Now they just need to get rid of the touchscreen that I never use. XD
