Nintendo Handheld Console 2DS - Black/Blue

Product Information

All games and DSiWare can be used and transferred to the 2DS, but the data will be deleted and the transfer cannot be undone Calling it a "smart move" to redesign the Nintendo 3DS so as to lower costs, Wired felt that the 2DS might enable Nintendo to sell the console at a significantly lower price with a significantly higher profit margin. [45] Post-release [ edit ] There are some out there who prefer Majora's Mask to Ocarina of Time (a big battle and we salute you for flying your flag so defiantly), so it makes sense that Nintendo would make the most of this debate and also release a Majora edition of the previous Hyrule design. The penultimate addition to the original Game & Watch range, the Zelda edition is not so much a themed design as it is a wholly different console, but we couldn't skip it. These little portables were all about providing simple gaming on the go and the Zelda model did just that with its Adventure of Link-like ( sorta) side-scrolling adventure. The Nintendo 2DS console was released in North America, Australia and Europe on the same day of 12 th October 2013, the console was only released years later in Japan on 27 th February 2016. The Nintendo 2DS console was released as a cheaper entry model console for younger children, it was also priced cheaper than the 3DS consoles at new retail and the circuitry of the console was a lot more basic. Unlike the other members of the 3DS family, the 2DS console was just a flat console, similar to an enlarged Gameboy console, but with two screens and a bottom touch.

Then the New 3DS XL came out, and I got the grey one as a gift. So I moved my account. But… To be honest I still liked the 2DS. So I started a second account on the transparent 2DS and began using both. Eventually I got a Pokeball 2DS XL for christmas, and I sold the grey n3DSXL. In December 2015, it was announced that the 2DS would be released in Japan on February 27, 2016 to coincide with the Virtual Console release of the original Game Boy Pokémon games. They were made available in translucent red, green, blue and yellow versions with colored buttons. Each were bundled with the corresponding Pokémon game, a special Home Menu theme, a poster, and a code to obtain Mew on the bundled game, or Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire. [2] Once the Animal Crossing one arrived, I sold the previous XL to a relative for cheap and switched to the Animal Crossing one, as I liked the appearance. It had a short lived life in my possession, however, as it had a dead pixel on the top screen that developed almost immediately after purchasing I found VERY distracting, so I traded that in and got a pink one soon after. Stayed with that one for many years, using vinyl skins to fancy it up. Some time later, my blue 2DS started having very short battery life, and I eventually replaced it with a Zelda edition green 2DS, which is the one I still currently use.Purple and silver New 2DS XL Mario Kart 7 Bundle launches September 28".

He occasionally likes playing games on my 3DS, but he always makes me nervous with it. He's a good kid, he wouldn't mean to break it, but kids at that age always get random energy impulses and lapses in attention span where they just spontaneously do things without thinking twice about it. I'd imagine in about a year from now, he'll have outgrown those hyperactive tendencies.
