Customers are positive about the 2DS's ease of use, affordability, and compact size, frequently praising its portability and suitability for younger users. Many appreciate the large selection of games available. A small number of customers expressed that the lack of a 3D feature was not a concern for them.
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!

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!
