Nintendo 2DS?!

[Teddiursa of the Sky]

As Corey implied, he only has one 3DS. He's going to want to be able to trade between X/Y, thus he'll need another console and the 2DS is cheaper.

If plunking down almost 200 dollars for self-trading is his prerogative, whatever.

You honestly think that most parents would know anything about firmware for the 3DS? Christ...

I'm sorry, but at what point does consumer responsibility come in? The firmware update would automatically readjust the settings to the safety mode, and only authorized owners would be able to reset it. It would be simple, free, and solve the issue of underage 3D use.

I think that if the 2DS was going to be used to recover from any financial mistakes, then it'd be released AFTER X and Y was released. That way consumers have more time to spend more money on a 3DS that they think they'll need.

I never said Nintendo was particularly bright. If they were, they would have never produced the 3DS. Why? Because nobody wants 3D. 3D televisions sold horribly, just like the 3DS. I mean the 3DS sold at a loss even after its considerable price reduction. With the 2DS, they are hoping to make up for the loss. I see that they will release more handhelds along the 2D line with minor improvements that could have been implemented the first time around, solely to make a few extra bucks off their horrible investment.
