The concept of a completely 2d 3ds isn't a bad one imo, because I never play my 3ds in 3d. Ever. So it wouldn't really be a big loss for me to take that function away.
That being said, this design is horrible. Like, so bad. The fact that it doesn't fold makes it look like a scrapped prehistoric DS phat design.

This is aimed at children swept up in the tablet craze and a response to 3D being linked to issues in sight development in those young children. You could argue that you could just switch 3D off, but they're marketing to concerned parents, young children, or people without a 3DS that don't care about anything the 3DS offers but the games and want to save around $100. It's also being sold around X and Y's release so they're probably trying to bolster sales. That and trying to keep ahead of the Vita software push.

I don't think it's as strange a decision as it appears.

This is how I feel right now. I couldn't help but to cringe the second I saw the design choice they went with. If it folded, it might have taken up a little less space and looked nicer.

While I will agree that the design is bad, it seems the entirety of the internet is ignorant to the main reason it was made (even though it's obvious via the name): A cheaper Nintendo 3DS that doesn't have 3D. While I'll probably still jump for a regular 3DS when the time comes, it is a great idea to me, seeing as 3D isn't really needed for any game, and is only there to help the experience. Plus, there's the chance that used 2DS's will be anywhere around $80-$120, which is a great price for used handheld consoles these days.

What I don't get is that why couldn't they make a 3DS without the 3D function. Just make it like a normal DS with 3DS game compability?

and this

also let's be honest here about a few things
first off, a used 3DS isn't even that much more than this, worth it IMO for having 3D and FOLDING
on the other hand, I admire nintendo's sly business sense with this
managing to market an entirely inferior product that will still probably sell well

Honestly the only design flaw I can see is that it loses the clam shell design, leaving the screens unprotected when not in use.

Other than that, I don't understand why so many people hate the 2DS, but that may be because I am willing to bet that most people complaining about its lack of 3D do not play with the 3D on 85% of the time.

...That's what it is

The only difference besides no 3D is the inability to fold

Well, looks like someone saw it all before me. Anyways, my 1st comment in 4evar, may not be on all the time, blah blah blah, 2DS is pretty pointless, and now I'm scared. :chaocry:

That is the only reason people hate it are you not reading the topic or??

And silly Nova, standing up for a terrible product. This had a great concept but seemed to be executed terribly. It's almost like they were trying to make a good product but decided to cut corners because X and Y were coming out, and god forbid they don't get their cash cow out before that. Then again, it isn't really aimed at us, so I suppose we shouldn't complain. The 2DS is really meant for either poor/cheap people who would sacrifice mobility and 3D in order to get 3DS games.

And little kids who play on tablets and are too young for 3D in their DS anyhow.

That being said, I can see this product selling well and a lot of other nintendo products that will protect the screen on it, a new model that will be able to fold for an extra $40, and an XL version.

Plus I mean, **** dude, do you SEE where those buttons are??? God this is terrible.

I think it's pretty cool. I dunno why but i love the design of the nintendo gameboys so much, im glad they made something kinda similar (sorta) Anywho I like it, and it saves money. What I don't like is the name. Whoever made the name, must've been in league with the guy, who made the analog stick and buttons on the top of the system. I don't like that. But still, overall, it's nice. It could save some people money, and keep kids from injuring they're eyes. Maybe if we looked at all the positives instead of the negatives, then we'd all like it a little more.

Like I said bro, I completely agree with the terrible design and button placement, it reminds me of those dumb leapfrog computers (especially with the black and colour-stripe scheme going on), except with buttons in a horrible place. The fact that it can't flip-close is also a no-no, but it is probably for the best since like other people have said, this version is geared towards primarily younger gamers, and they could pretty easily break the top screen off of the hinges if they aren't careful.

But other than that, there really isn't reason to complain about it, unless it's only like $10 cheaper than the regular 3DS or has some sort of limitation in turns of gameplay.

Hmm. I guess the entire thing is based off opinion. But one more thing, I donut like the actors. I legitimately think that they're bad acting could lower sales. It just seemed unrealistic to me. Why by three more nintendo 2dses when you can use parental controls on the one you got for your kid. And I doubt the parents have time to play video games anyways.
