Nintendo 2DS announced
Nintendo has announced the Nintendo 2DS, a cheaper version of the 3DS. Whilst retaining its two screens, it can no longer be folded together like the clamshell 3DS and obviously, the screen can’t display 3D content. The 2DS is compatible with both 3DS- and DS-games and retains most of the 3DS features. There is WiFi for example, and a local multi-player option as well. On top of that, the 2DS also has two cameras on the back which allows 3D photos to be taken.
Nintendo 2DS pricing
The 2DS will be available October 12th for a budget-price of $129.99. It happens to launch on the same day that Pokemon X and Y launch as well. Included in that price is a 4GB SD card for saving content. The 2DS will be available in both red and blue and can be switched off using a slider. The device will only be able to produce mono-sound for the lack of a second speaker. The 2DS won’t be replacing any products, so the 3DS and 3DS XL will still be sold for respectively $169.99 and 199.99.
