Hacking Nintendo 2DS October 12th

i have friends who cant use the 3D affect (eye issues and even missing a eye)
so perfect for them

But it doesn't have the typical nintendo feeling. Two screens but it isn't collapsible.

£110?
I was hoping for £100, since its only $130 :/

Only thing that comes to mind is my aunt wanting to buy a 3DS for her young son but all the warning saying, "NOT SUITABLE FOR UNDER 7" just scared her away from buying one. Even when I explain that they include an off switch, she still made up her mind.

In my opinion, this system is probably made for people like my aunt who want to buy a new handheld without the fear "3D effects damaging eye in kids".

As for me, I'm over the "wtf" factor and going into, "would like to add this to my handheld collection one day".

How to convert a 3DS to a 2DS:
Put the right slider at the bottom.

Well, who buries whom? Maybe Sony had the idea of a N2DS to harm Nintendo.

£110? Not worth it. If it was £80-90 I'd bite.

It looks awful as well.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

This looks like it has a US launch as well.

http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/new/

US price: $129.99
Release date: October 12, 2013

Just like the EU date. Strange, nothing on the Japanese website.

i want to know the screen how many inch ?

Is it like the 3ds or bigger like 3ds xl

A very, very peculiar choice, the idea is sound; produce a system idea for very young children.
It doesn't have a 3D effect, so no risk to their eyes (as Nintendo insist), it has a solid tablet design, much studier than a clamshell design with hinges.
It's just the execution is weird, I don't think those shoulder buttons will be comfortable to operate at all, at least not for younger kids, did you see how the younger boy playing Mario Kart 7 was extending his index fingers, to push the shoulder buttons with the tip of his fingers? That looks like it will strain his hands.

I definitely want a hands on experience with one of these oddities but it's very unlikely that I would buy one.

Also I noticed they placed a sleep mode switch on the system, because you can't close the system like normal.

Looks more like the use of the 3DS screens rather than the XL/LL version. The placement of the L and R buttons would be too high if they used the XL/LL screens.

 

[earny]

the only good thing is you cant broke the hinge anymore

btw, why buy this 2D crap, when you can find cheap 2nd hand 3DS?

the windows vista from nintendo


newspapers several months later

2DS was the biggest fail from nintendo

 

[johnnywalker]

Will it be popular? Time alone will tell. To my mind it is far less spectacular than GB Micro.

Im calling it from now, Sony is in the conference room working on a PS3ita to compete along with microsoft who's making an Xsquare360

Thank you so much, I have a 3DS since day one and I didn't know that
No seriously, this is for people who want little bit cheaper 3DS and dont like the 3D and also parents wont worry anymore for the 3D consequences for their children.

Would be perfect if gateway could work on base units eventually.

 

[ilman]

I can get a new normal 3DS for 80 pounds here.
Why would I buy a 3DS that's:
-more expensive
-ugly as hell
-removes a main feature of the damn thing
-looks as if it'd be awful to play on

This one will work 100% on GW3DS for sure since it does not have 3DS mode ( only DS mode).
Just kinding, will probably be release with a v7.007 firmware

That thing is just hideous.
I can imagine dumb parents asking all kinds of stupid questions.

Poor retailers.
