Nintendo Announces the 2DS XL

by

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.

  2. I may consider getting a newer version. my 3DS is very old and the rubber on the joystick is completely gone due to long shiny hunting sessions on Pokemon Y

  5. I almost thought this was some kind of joke video before seeing that Nintendo’s YouTube posted it! Definite shocker, and not something I’m interested in by any means. It does look slick, however, and the color schemes are very nice.

  11. Seems unnecessary but since you can bleeping turn off the 3DS on them

    But….I would like a new 3DS Xl my trusty Xl is very old and extremely well used (also has tons of grime and dust in the nooks and crannies) but I have my great fear of the system transfer not working the right way

    So yeah I’m just gonna clean my 3DS and just use that until we get the new handheld sensation

  12. Ughhhhhh the Showdown replays aren’t working…..

  14. O_O A CHANSEY WITH WISH AND SOFTBOIL?
    If I didn’t pin it down with Infestileech that would’ve been seriously bad, but the chump forfeited because I dismantled his plan

  19. Pure self indulgence, but oh my God does this trailer have me so hyped for storm blood. The new c lasses and areas look great, scholar seems to have a beam heal now with its pet, dark knight can cast shields on to other players making it a better off tank, dragoon doesn’t seem to be using Blood of the dragon and has what looks like either an aoe of its final attack or an improved version and the armor looks sexy as hell(Dragoon’s looks almost like Phara’s Anubis skin.) And freaking yojimbo from FF 10 just shows up out of nowhere to help Susanoo. So much hype for the expansion.

    But to the device itself, I”m happy with it. Its good to see that Nintendo’s supporting the 3DS as they said they would, and I do think they should. I’m really hoping that this will be their resting ground with the 1.5 console idea and come E3 we see that a lot if not all 3DS titles coming fall 2017 and on just so happen to be new3DS exclusives, making it a great testing ground for the idea and giving a good cash injection.

    • Mega Metagross is not broken.

      It was suspect tested last generation and didn’t get the boot, I doubt it will this time.

      Reply

      • Literally just because of the Speed boost when it Megas and its synergy, that’s why it got it this time

        Reply

        • That may be a factor, but I’m gonna be honest and say I haven’t played OU or used Mega Metagross this generation yet.

          I ran an amazing Scolipede, Mega Metagross combo last gen (Speed Boost passing) and it was godly but not broken back then.

          • Lemme say this
            It’s synergy that fucks everything up, it kills most the tapus, benefits from 3/4 terrains, and most of all, has easy counter teammates for most things that beat it
