Nintendo - 2DS - Electric Blue

I recently purchased this Nintendo 2ds and I would like to say it works great and runs great and even though it does not fold like other 2ds and 3ds models I don't have to worry about any hinges or the device cracking which is good and the 2ds is a very light handheld console and easy to use and play with and setup and overall the battery life is great and overall I recommend it!

I bought this for my 7 year old nephew last Christmas - words cannot described how thrilled he was to get this. He also owns a Nintendo switch, but he still plays with this one to date and alternates with the other. Personally, I think this is a fun game, I played a little bit while setting it up for him. My most favorite part of this device is that it has parental controls, because there was a wide open access to the internet and internet strangers. For kids at such a young age, I don't think it's necessary to have all this. There's a small nuance with the stylus - my nephew tends to chew on it, so it's at a point where it doesn't stay locked in the holder. Otherwise, this is a very durable device for young kids. Highly recommend this over the 3D or the switch for portability. Otherwise, this was a really good investment both financial and sentimental. I'm glad there's an option to input a cartridge for different games so this will last for a good while. I enjoy watching him play and bask in nostalgia from my days of playing the original Ninetendo lol!

Bought this for my 5 year old as a birthday gift and he loves it. Game that is included is also a great game, especially to start on. Plays it often and its easy enough to use where i usually dont need to help him start it up or play any new games. Screen is a bit small but for what you need it to do, definitely gets the job done.

The Nintendo 3DS XL is the top of the line Nintendo handheld, but as far as I'm concerned, the only difference between that and the 2DS is the 3D feature (the 2D, as you might guess from the name, doesn't play games in 3D), nor is it bisected for closing like the 3DS. I don't want to play games in 3D, and while I would like to be able to close the 3DS, I actually *don't* want to take it with me (on the bus/train, etc.), so that's not a deal breaker. It's a great console that plays great games, and it comes at a great price point.

If you're like me, you have nothing but fond memories of rage-quitting while failing to navigate the flying-fish levels of the original Super Mario Bros. for the 20th time on your original NES. But how to ensure that your young kids can experience such character-building growth without destroying a $400 Switch and without risking a controller being thrown at the 60+ inch familyroom television? Here's the answer! The 2DS has access to all DS and 3DS games without the eye strain, and is affordably priced (comparably to other gaming systems) so that kids getting gooey fingers on it or occasionally dropping it (on a carpet) won't have you clutching your pearls in horror. PLUS, they can stress out just as you once did while trying to navigate those classic (and new) games! Is there a better way to bond than laughing/raging at a failed attempt to blast from barrel to barrel with Donkey Kong? If there is, I haven't found it!

Got it as a gift for my younger sister, it's good because she's the type to easily drop things, the fact that it has been going strong til now is awesome! Only downside is it doesn't play 3ds games which... i don't know, seems dumb on Nintendo's part but the switch/lite matters niw so does it really matter? Grab a 2dxl for your kid instead because you don't have to worry about game compatibility and if you don't can't get the lite but if this is still around 150... just spend a bit more for the lite! They'll appreciate it even more!

Getting this as a replacement for one that wore out after 5 years of heavy use. No complaints, price is good. Great handheld game system with plenty of games. NSMB 2 is a great game in the series as well.

Very affordable game. I bit clunky to hold, but is great if you don't want to spend the additional bucks for the 3DS. Does pretty much all of the same things aside from the 3D display feature.
