    For whatever reason, Nintendo put this in the 3DS family. I get it--it's part of that specific generation of handhelds. But come on--it's not 3D. But wait--it's NEW! What the f*** does that even mean? Oh f*** it...

    I shouldn't be making a fuss over it, but gawd.

    Received it as a birthday gift. I sort of miss the 3D gimmick, but not really. Lol. Maybe if I implant some mirrors or something...

    Like I said, the system case is awesome. The system designers finally removed that glossy finish that was way too easy to smudge. And now there's a really tactile cover with diagonal grooves. Feels kinda like a steel grate, I guess. It's hard to explain unless people feel it for themselves.

    Aside from that, it's an updated version of the 3DS...without 3D...with an extra large screen, a C stick and ZL and ZR buttons? Whoever thought of this system name is an idiot. It feels really nice to hold. And I'm glad that this damned thing can (finally) download Earthbound. I mean, f***b***s...

      Editing … And btw, it also feels like a downgrade, like Nintendo is making fun of me. Don't get me wrong--it was a gimmick, but it was a cool feature to just try out. Oh f**k it. Damned 3DS costs too much to repair and maintain.

      Editing … Believe it or not, the best change is that they implanted parts of the sound chip on the bottom. So now it's almost like I can feel the sound blasting into my hands. Reminds me of the Rock & Shock add-ons to the Game Boy (I can't believe I'm mentioning that old fossil).

      Editing … Honestly this is probably the best version right now. If you already bought a 3DS obviously don't buy it. But this has all the improvements of the New 3DS and it's design is 1000000000000000% better than the original 2DS, which, despite being really cheap, was a big mistake. Plus, it's also cheaper than buying a normal 3DS, so if you don't care about the 3D, just buy this one instead.

      Editing … There's the normal 3DS, the New 3DS which added some buttons and a better cpu, and also a stable 3D because the original's 3D sucked ass (this is basically the version that should've been released right at the start). There's the 2DS, which is a horrible, horrible design, and there's the New 2DS, which I talked before. There's XL versions to all of those but the original 2DS. There's also a bunch of limited editions with exclusive designs, but I really don't think that should be taken into account.

      Editing … Right now Nintendo should be ENTIRELY focusing on the Nintendo Switch. Kimishima's "we are going to support 3DS and Switch in tandem"-strategy won't work as seen on Wii U vs. 3DS. What an idiot. I actually thought they'd double their games output for the Switch since it's essentially a hybrid. Oh well. I can already see the game droughts coming. What a shame. But I was going to wait until 2022 anyway before buying a Switch so it's not my problem.

      Editing … I'm very disappointed this is a clamshell, it goes against my favorite aspect of the original 2DS. Why does the trailer say "ergonomic folding design"? It's the same design as always. It says XL screens so I assume this is just a 3DS XL without 3D, meaning it's not ergonomic or stylish at all.
