Customer Ratings & Reviews

The eshop wouldn’t let me buy newer games on my first gen 3ds. This solved that problem at a price I was willing to pay. Don’t miss the 3D.

Got this for my 6 year old boy for his birthday. And he can’t put it down. He took to it like a champ being it is his first gaming system.

The build quality and features feel like an upgrade to the current 2DS as opposed to a direct comparison to the New 3DS XL. I don't really understand the design changes, but for whatever reason they happened. The cons.. The speakers have now been moved to the very bottom and point down. This is a huge downgrade and it sounds muffled as if instead of stereo speakers it has 2 mono speakers...if that makes sense. It sounds decent at 1/4 or 1/3 volume, but turn it up any louder and the back of the system actually vibrates. This makes the device feel cheaper than it is. The screens are still low res and add no added upgrade from previous models. The stylus has been shrunk and is an absolute joke to use unless you're a 3yo. If you play anything that uses a stylus regularly, then you'll want to buy a bigger one. There is now a flap that covers the micro sd card and game cartridge, which feels flimsy and makes it more of a pain to change games, but it does protect against dust and makes the system look nicer. The wifi switch is gone and must be toggled via settings. When the system is opened, your fingers will rub against the back of the top screen when using the L & R buttons because of the slimness of the device. The pros.. It's $50 cheaper than the New 3DS XL and includes a charger. Overall, the New 2DS XL feels like a device that should've been released prior to the New 3DS XL, and yet was released when no one was asking for it. Instead, Nintendo should've just priced dropped the New 3DS XL to $150 instead of releasing this. For $50 more you can get the New 3DS XL with an overall better design (in my opinion), a stylus that fits your hand, much better audio, and an option to use 3D if you want it. If this were released at between $100-$125 and the original wedge design 2DS was discontinued, then it makes more sense. If you've never owned a 3DS and want to jump in for the wonderful library the system has, then either get the cheaper 2DS for $80 or pay $200 and get the overall better system with the New 3DS XL. At $150 this device is just not worth it.

Outstanding gaming system with long battery life. Our son plays with this on a daily basis and is a solid choice. Highly recommend!

The fact that I didn't have to buy a whole slew of games just for this system was great! It is sleek and comes in different colors

I picked this up because I wanted a 3ds but didn't care for the 3d and it will run every game out for the 3ds but just not in 3d.

My son love his new DS. This is his first time having one. He loves that it fits in his pocket and that he can take it anywhere.

Wow simply love what nintendo did with this one,it feels great holding this,the screen is super big nice, not bulky and sound it loud,it play games very well, graphics look amazing,and i love the color contrast on the console,very very nice.this is a big stepup from nintendo next one has to be a tablet type of console.

This was for my 9 year old. She loves it. I like the fact that she can play her old games from previous Nintendo ds versions!

Love the 2ds im not really a big fan of the 3d version.its very sturdy and has an enormous library of games to coose from

If you want a console that’s not going to break the bank, and has a ton of fun games to play then this is the one for you.

This is great for kids and adults. Graphics are amazing for handheld gaming on the go. I highly recommend this item!!!

Great deal, I recommend getting this one versus the 3ds. It comes with charger and battery lasts for me 6-8 hours. If i had the 3ds I dont think i would buy this though. Theres not enough of a difference from past models to justify having both.

This game console plays any DS or 3 DS game. Cool! My kids have many regular DS games that they can continue to play.

absolutely great product for someone looking for a bigger screen who doesn't care about using 3D

A great version of the 3DS family that does everything that is completely needed in general, I highly recommend it.

I original thought it was only one controller but it was two so that was a nice surprise and the price was fair.

Love the large screen, it's for my little one and was going to get him the regular one but glad I got him the xl

This 2DS XL is perfect for people who like DS series, but hate 3D effect. 2DS XL has big screen and fine sounds.

My wife was not a big gamer fan she found this and fell in love with it, it’s compact and loves the Mario games
