So new circle pad pro design incoming?
I just wish with all that added space, they would add a second control pad.
Wait!! There is another problem with this thing, not only is it ugly as hell and doesn't it make any sense to remove the 3d functionallity with the 3ds...
The huge problem is, will developpers be motivated to keep creating awesome 3d graphics? Zelda OoT looked beautiful in 3D but when this 2DS sells good I'm afraid developers will be like, "why create 3d graphics? Half of the people CANT use them and most of the others don't"
All they really need to do is add two cameras not that hard
You guys are forgetting the whole point of this system. This is not intended to be bought by older gamers who already have a 3DS system. This is intended to be bought for younger kids. It is safer for younger kids not to use the 3D function (point of no 3D) and the design was made this way and not clam shell because they needed something sturdy that could be tossed around because young kids are careless. I can't count how many DS/3DS I have seen that young kids broke the top screen on and with this new design kids will actually have to try to break it. Not to mention this comes out the same day as the new Pokemon games and that is a brilliant business move. I can't count the number of people that have said "I am getting a 3DS just for Pokemon.'. Now they can save $40-$70 depending on what model of 3DS they were going to get and pick up Pokemon X or Y on the same day and save a nice chunk of money. You do need to remember the kid department of DS/3DS is much bigger than the older market (teen to adult) and this is a safe and sturdier way to present this console to kids. Parents will love it because it won't break and it is safe for them to use. Good move.
No second circle pad.
That's debatable.What would you even need a second circle pad for? Hardly no games use it except for maybe like Monster Hunter, but even that game is very much playable without it.
I am gonna pre-order 2 for my little bros
Was gonna get them used 3DS so might aswell get them brand new 2DS with Pokemon Y and Y Cuz I am getting X
Even as a huge Nintendo fan I can't figure out what the hell Nintendo is thinking...maybe its a Japan thing?
