Description
Just so recently, Nintendo announced another 3DS variant... only this one doesn't include the 3D slider and seems to be unfoldable, just like the old Gameboy days. This variant launches October 12, the very day that Pokémon X & Y launch. I'm keeping my 3DS XL; I want to see Pokémon in FULL 3D, not 3D models with 3D turned off!This variant might be perfect for those who are prone to seizures or whatever problems happen with the 3D.
Don't believe it's real? Read it and weep, pal.

P.S: I'm not saying this is bad. In fact, it can prove useful for those who either need a cheaper 3DS, don't care about the 3D effect, it certainly can be good for younger gamers and so people can avoid eye illnesses with the 3D effect.
UPDATE: Okay, this hate's just getting out of hand. This system's really intended for younger gamers. Gamers who don't care about the 3D are free to buy it, too.

I agree with the picture. They should really stick to making fun games, and stop porting the old ones over multiple consoles, multiple times.

I probably won't buy one. I mean, imagine playing Ocarina of Time on a glorified piece of toast.

Not gonna lie; the hate for the system's getting out of hand. It is meant for younger players, but can be good for those who're cheapskates and don't care about the 3D.

Heheh.
P.S: Thanks for uploading KOTR to Dailymotion.

I actually like the idea of them targeting a niche audience in their fanbase i.e. people who would never use the 3D function if they had a 3DS. I'm one of those people. Wouldn't mind buying it. Also, am I the only one that's okay with their design?

People need to stop bitching about it.
Even Total Mortal Kombat is pissed off at the people bitching.

Indeed.
While I'm not getting one, I must say it's a good alternative for cheapskates, younger players, or those who don't care about the 3D/those who're prone to seizures with 3D.

And it's almost a rounded square shape! What in the blue skies was Nintendo smoking?

I really don't see any purpose in this, other than the fact that it's good for kids who are prone to seizures. Beyond that it's terrible. I did some research on it, and it turns out the Japanese name for it is 'Game Boy,' possibly a foreshadowing to them bringing us back to the old days, but seriously, do we need the old days if we have something as advanced as the 3DS?

The Japanese name is 'Game Boy'? Show me a link or something then.

bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wik… This website shows the Japanese names for everything related to Pokémon and Nintendo systems.

Bulbapedia is usually on top of stuff, but likely not this time. They linked to Wikipedia, which lists this link as their source when they say that there is actually no planned release of the 2DS in Japan.

I was going to say that it has a more Game Boy feel to it since it can't fold.

Honestly, Nintendo didn't have to make the 2DS. It's basically the exact same system with cosmetic changes, much like the 3DS XL. I understand that Nintendo's showing care to the people who have 3D problems, but it's still essentially the exact same console. However, there's no such thing as a perfect company, and this is another one of Nintendo's follies. It's nowhere near as bad as the CD-I or the Virtual Boy. It's just one of Nintendo's more minor stumbles.
Bottom line, the 2DS honestly didn't have to be made.

You mean it didn't have to be made?
Just like every other "slimmed" or otherwise cost reduced system? GASP!
This is nothing new really, I mean Sony has done like 3 revision of each of their systems, both handheld and stationary.
But for some reason the 2DS is just too much for people.
It's a cost efficient solution for people who just wants to play the games and can't be bothered with the 3D aspect.

Not really it's kinda pointless
For 7 year olds because the 3D hurt's their eyes: That's what the slider is for!
For people who might break the screens apart: Didn't Nintendo mention at the 3DS reveal that the 3DS has a stronger split screen thingy?
It cost less:........
The reason of a 2DS: For people who can't pay an extra 40$.
I'm sorry, I thought Nintendo systems were for playing games, not for people who can't pay 40$. Nuff said.

Well, I do like how Nintendo is showing care for those who are prone to seizures and don't care about the 3D, but I think making it unfoldable just seems like a bad call. It just doesn't feel right to me. What if you accidentally press the power button, want to go to sleep mode, or just want to put it in your pocket for convenience sake?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That and it screws with games that NEED the DS to be put into sleep mode like Phantom Hourglass.

You know it's been a while since I remember that puzzle. I actually did like that one. It was utterly hilarious when you do it by complete accident and you just go like "Uhhh yeah I ment to do that." I wish there were more puzzles like that because it was a good use of sleep mode.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That does make me wonder if they'll put a sleep mode button on the system
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Ah, but it still ruins the feel as you were closing the DS as if literally copying a mark on a map to your map.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
There is a sleep mode button there, actually. Look closer at the model.

I wouldn't mind, it's good for people who have problems with 3d effects. Because 3d can strain your eyes.

Well.... that's just odd.
I'm still keeping my 3DS for now.

meh, I'm not really bothered by the 2DS, and i do agree about it being useful for younger gamers so that they can avoid seizures and eye pains and such.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm okay with it since it provides a cheaper alternative if you prefer to play the games rather than experience the 3D effect or as you said, children under 6 or prone to epileptic conditions.

...i'll just keep my 3DS XL thank you very much

I think all of US will, but the younger group, their target audience will likely buy it
