I bought the 2ds becuase I wanted something affordable, while still being able to play 3ds games. The way the 2ds is built is something to adjust to, but it my opinion its still good (even better) than the 3ds. Now I can play the games I love and use apps like Netflix and youtube.

What makes a good system is the games available for it, and the Nintendo 3DS does not currently have that many strong games, but some of the ones it does have are very strong and more are coming out all the time. I wouldn't recommend buying one unless you know exactly what games you want for it, because the selection isn't too great. But if you do have games you want, and just care about being able to play them and not about seeing them in 3D, the 2DS presents a pretty nice value. Personally, I don't care for the 3D, so just getting to play the handheld Zelda games is enough for me. The biggest problem I have with the system is it's a little awkward to hold, with it being thin towards the bottom and thicker going up, but it doesn't prove to be a problem if you're gaming in shorts bursts.

The Nintendo 2DS is a product released by Nintendo, at the same time as the Pokemon X & Y world-wide release. The Nintendo 2DS is absurdly comfortable in your hand. your hand will not cramp or otherwise get tired from holding this device. The Nintendo 2DS is also very easy to set-up. Any Questions you may have relating to this device can be easily found in the multi-lingual manual that comes with it, or by use of the Notice system in the home menu. This Handheld lacks the 3DS feature of the... well... 3DS. This does not detract from gameplay in any way, because 3D is a novelty feature. There are no compatibility issues. This will play all Nintendo DS and 3DS games without problems. It has a mono-sound output. I personally cannot tell the difference between Mono and Stereo, so I could care less. However, Stereo is much more apparent with headphones, and headphones do increase sound quality... just like it does for everything else. You may have problems transporting your 2DS. Nintendo already has an official product for this, but without it you may need to be a little innovative. This is probably the biggest drawback of this system The System has a slate design rather than a clamshell design. What this means is that the system as a whole fits more comfortably in your hands and that you don't have to worry about a detached hinge... ever.
