Nintendo Announces the 2DS XL

A new variation of the 2DS console has been announced, this time sporting a bigger screen and similar clam-shell design to its 3DS siblings. While a black and turquoise version will be the only one launching in the US, an orange and white model will be released in Japan and possibly Europe as well.

Unlike the original 2DS it includes a c-stick which makes playing games such as Super Smash Bros. and Monster Hunter easier. It also includes the ability to utilize NFC technology to scan Amiibo figures placed on its lower screen. Its suggested retail price is $149.99 in the US and it will debut on July 28.

Does this tempt anyone? It still lacks 3D functionality, but it certainly looks slick! Such a small bezel almost makes the screens feel larger too.

  1. Am I the only one bothered about how Trevor LITERALLY only catches Pokemon to fill in the dex? I mean… you literally have pseduo-pets who have magic powers, why don’t you do something with it rather than fill in the equivalent of an ebook encyclopedia

  3. Seriously super excited for Splatoon 2. I loved the first one so much but didn’t play it much after a while just because even starting up the Wii U felt like a chore. I’m for sure going to play a lot more on the Switch and maybe play it with the squad here on Pokejungle? :3 :3
    Here’s hoping for playable Octolings and an equally awesome single player campaign

    • I would argue the reason that Crystal was GBC only was because they weren’t sure how things were going to shake out in the future. GS were technically supposed to be the last games in the series so when they released Crystal they probably had no idea of what they wanted out of the series long term. Not saying it can’t happen, but in today’s Nintendo ecosystem I’d say it’s not in their best interest to exclude people unless they are making a full jump to a new system. People always complain about them jumping to the next new system, but that’s just the natural progression. If they make the game for the New 3DS, but exclude people that just have regular 3DS’ then that will alienate people more than just saying the new game(s) is for the Switch. IMO anyway lol

    • I still don’t think Stars will be the next game, but yeah I can see that happening. Honestly I kind of want it to at this point. Though at the end of the day its kind of up to GF more then anyone.
