This is a great portable system, probably one of the best deals too since it comes with a game. Love that is can play regular ds games and 3ds games as well.

I bought this as a xmas present for my 6 year old son. It's a nice looking retro version of the 2ds. The Mario maker game is preloaded no cartridge included. For the price it was a good deal. The only negative experience is that it arrived about 3 days earlier than I expected and we were out of town and the left it at the door.

This is an Amazing System

This is a great system. Most would say the 2DS is best to get for a child due to it's durability, but I'd even add that for an adult this system is still a great one to have. The 3DS has many great games from so many different franchises that I think anyone who loves video games should check it. From Mario, Zelda, SMT, Kid Icarus, Metroid, Resident Evil, Kirby, and many more that I cant even name them all. This is one of my favorite system of all time, and if you see a 2DS for 80 bucks, and it comes with game, I think it's worth getting, especially if you don't mind not having the 3D. Get these systems while you still can as they stopped production of them in 2020

I bought the 3ds originally, I just didnt like how it felt in my hand. I took it back and bought this instead saving me money too. I like it much better! No 3D but that only jacked up my eyes. Totally recommend this!!

This is a great introductory portable gaming console for young children. My 6 year old absolutely loves it and you can't beat the price. Super Mario Maker allows creation of new levels, as well as playing an infinite number of levels!

Kids can be sometimes careless with their video game devices and can cost a pretty penny if they aren't careful. Unfortunately my kid did not take care of his and was first grounded for breaking his 3DS and after a period of good behavior , we decided to get him another but not a 3DS something a little less expensive and we got him this for his birthday turns out he is just as happy and didn't through a tantrum because it wasn't a 3DS. Good value

Plays all the games one would want on a 3DS but for half the price. It is a little bulky and it can't be folded but it makes up for it in price.

I bought two of these for my stepdaughters (10 and 7) and it keeps them entertained. They love it a lot. We haven’t encountered any problems yet. It was cheap enough that if it breaks, I can just get them a new one. It plays the other games as well so it’s pretty cool.

Got this foe my 11 year old to play when we travel. He loves, thus is the 2nd one we bought, his 1st was stolen. But he loves pokemon and keeps him occupied even when he has Dr appointment. I wish there were more educational games but it's worth money.

Really a great portable console for a very good price considering you get Mario Maker included, and the colors are really nice. I really wish Nintendo designed a 2DS XL in this format, very comfortable to hold for long plays.

2DS is great for on the go gaming. Full backwards compatibility is great and allows kids access to a huge library of previous games. Being less than $100 now is a great price, especially with the included game. Good value for parents to get their kids.
