Nintendo 2DS?!

[Wookie Mistake]

This. I'm not sure why they didn't make it fold-able, it's just beyond me. Really, if you want to protect your eyesight, don't play with the 3D on. :P There are settings for that on the 3DS itself!

Nintendo, I'm not sure what you were thinking here.

If I remember right a slate form factor is cheaper to construct than the clam shell, something to do with the hinges and the leads that connect the bottom half and top half.

I think the 2DS just looks a little unwieldy and bulky. The placement of the shoulder/trigger buttons look a bit uncomfortable

Well yeah, I don't see a point of getting a 2DS if you have a 3DSXL.

Unless there are some 2DS-exclusive games that seem interesting. I really hope GF doesn't make a Pokemon game for the 2DS cos I really don't want to feel obligated to buy one. :/

If there is any difference in the production costs, I highly, highly doubt it's a notable amount. A lack of some screws and bolts wouldn't be the reason (or even a contribution to) why the system costs $50 less. :P

It's not so much the parts but the extra work it takes to put together. It's kind of like taking a car to a car shop, the labor usually costs more than the parts.

Wait, are there going to be 2DS exclusive games?

No, I highly doubt there will be exclusive games. This is just another version of the 3DS. Think of it like a 3DS Lite!

I was never a fan of the DS's design, but I kind of like this one, it's different! I never carry my DS around without its case, so not being foldable doesn't really make a difference to me, but I can see how it could be annoying. I already have a Pikachu 3DS XL so I won't be getting one of these. Unless they released a Bulbasaur one or something...

You are so lucky. ;_;

Yeah that's what I thought. And if they release a Bulbasaur 2DS... I'm so buying it.

I wonder why... ;P

Yes... A 3DS lite... Only... That doesn't have any improvements and is actually a downgrade!

Yeah, it's just 'lite' on the 3D. XD I dunno what they're thinking really. But it does make you wonder if 3D was a mistake and whether we can expect their next handheld to move away from it.
