Nintendo 2DS?!

Maybe that's part of the reason they made a 2DS. Then again, you can turn off the 3D...

Thing is, how many kids will. You gotta remember, these are 6 years and under we are talking about. They will want the 3D and not really care if it says six and up. As well as parents these days don't have half a crap to give. 10 year olds are allowed to play 18+ games.

This is a good point as well. Then, maybe Nintendo made the 2DS aware of that. However, I couldn't see them making it JUST for that reason.

It would also be the price, and people who just don't want the 3D in general. I would love a 3DS for the wifi capabilities and new games. The 3D doesn't appeal to me too much, however now that I think about it, I would choose a 3DS over a 2DS. I like being able to carry my DS in my pocket (assuming the pocket iis big enough), and would hate not being able to do that.

Instead of releasing a firmware update that implements a child lock on the 3D option for the 3DS, they instead develop an entirely monotonous, unreasonably bulky downgrade in order to make more money.

Yeah, it is kind of big. But I don't mind really, I never put my DS Lite in my pocket anyways.

I feel like this idea is stupid to people who have a 3DS, and awesome to people to people who don't have a 3DS.

Eh, maybe. I think that even if I didn't have a 3DS, I wouldn't want a 2DS. :/

I just... don't get... why it doesn't... fold... *collapses in the sun*

Honestly, I'm fine with it not folding. I've used Gameboys a lot, and the screen hasn't cracked on any of mine.

While its portability may not matter to you, it is a major selling point for a handheld device to be reasonably sized. It is ignorant of them to create this device; but completely like them to release it and, a year later, release the 2DS Lite that will have the ability to fold. Anything to make money I suppose.

I don't think this has to do with money in the way you're talking about. :/ I think it's about people not wanting to buy a 3DS cos they're expensive and most don't use the 3D function, so Nintendo developed a way for people to still be able to buy 3DS games, but use a less-expensive console that they can entirely utilize. The 2DS is about getting people to be more likely to buy 3DS GAMES by offering a cheaper way to play them, along with making it more child friendly. Nintendo is trying to sell more games, not more consoles--they're trying to sell the 2DS to people instead of a 3DS, not trying to sell everyone both. :P

Then produce a 2DS that can fold. This is entirely about cashing in after a failed investment.
