    I bought this for my boy almost 2 month ago .. device is fine and has good quality for this price..the LCD not bad but acceptable.. sound of speaker is medium so you have to watch the price..this is my first experience in Nintendo. The major problem is the game.they are expensive... finally I have to say device can fill the spare time ..it's not to fast and to slow...

    Not a very powerful device, won’t keep up with other consoles in regard to graphics, but the game selection is amazing and the ergonomics are superb. Kids love it and it’s great for parties. Highly recommend for family, just maybe not big time gamers.

    The price was a bit high for this being a Nintendo DS. This would be my niece’s first handheld game system. She’s 6. She hasn’t played it yet because it’s not Christmas yet.. But she’s super smart and should have no problem with it ☺️

    It's a cool little gaming system I bought for my 7 and 10 year old daughters. However after owning for a few months my 10 year old said she should have gotten the Nintendo Switch bc it has more games. As for my 7 year old she's still stuck on her tablet and phone watching Youtube videos, but they both still play their DS just not that much...honestly I should have just bought them both new phones...why does anyone need any other devices other than that?

    I decided to buy this because I was feeling nostalgic about my past playing Animal Crossing Wild World on my old DS LITE. I am now able to play Animal Crossing New Leaf and I'm loving it. The device is well made and is performing very well.

    Bought this one for my son. Love the fact that the Mario kart game was already installed and ready to play immediately. No need to wait for a download or update or anything time-consuming. Fast and responsive and highly recommended for kids.

    My wife and I are having a lot of fun playing Mario Kart and Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds lately. I still have my original DS and the only advantage it has over these newer models is the ability to play GameBoy Advance cartridges.

    I bought this after losing my old Nintendo 2DSXL years ago and I’m so glad to have it again ! I had to get it when I saw the amazing purple color it came in. At the moment I’m using it to play animal crossing new leaf :)

    This is a great handheld gaming system and I have enjoyed playing it! It’s a good update of the old DS and has the same game options which was what drew me in! I still find myself reaching for it when I have time!

    Having never owned a DS, I didn't know what to expect but I love the 2DS. The graphics on Zelda are better on the 2DS than they are on the Wii U virtual console. Wish it was solid black but other than that I love it.

    Got this for my 5 year old who wanted a switch. I wanted to see if she would take care of this before considering something more expensive in the future. So far she’s taken great care of it and it’s got a great library of games.

    Decided to upgrade from my old 3DS to this one and couldn’t be more proud. Really fun console and plays all the games in 2D, which doesn’t matter to me, and can play exclusive New 3DS titles as well.

    My 7 year old asked for a switch for his bday. After speaking to a lot of people who suggested the DS due to durability that’s what I chose. It’s been a great little system and my 7 year old hasn’t broken it yet!

    Some of the nicest handheld hardware I've ever had. It's beautiful to look at, and plays like a dream. I have a Switch, but the 3DS/2DS will always have a special place in my heart that the Switch can't take.
