2DS is cooler and smaller than expected

Nintendo first unveiled a new system of 2DS and won a few days ago, a number of Game Informer staff reaction. $ 129 handheld 3DS, 3D function strips features screens smaller than XL and drops design protective coatings of bivalve molluscs. To me 2DS looked cumbersome and inconvenient, the opposite of what a mobile device should be. After getting my hands on the device by 2013. Premier PAX, walked from surprised how good it feels and how compact it is.

2DS has better screens sizes original 3DS, rather than its bigger brother, the 3DS XL. And I prefer the larger screens on my PDA, reducing displays allow for smaller form factor. 2DS seems to be about one-fourth smaller than the 3DS. No hinge means the system does not wrap makes it easy to move, but it is much smaller than at first appeared. 2DS fits in laptop bags, handbags and backpacks school its intended younger audiences.

XL 3DS next 2DS (sorry for my dirty fingerprints)

The original 3DS and 3DS XL go to sleep when the unit is folded closed. 2DS compensates for with the switch in the lower right corner of the layout that puts to sleep. The physical wireless switch has been removed from the hand and tucked in the menu (which is identical to the 3DS). Buttons, d-pad and pad are located near the middle of the system, rather than their previous home at the bottom half of the 3DS. Controls on the system feels great, but the shoulder buttons are farther than I would like. A shoulder button increased would be full of obstacles for me, but I worry that it might be uncomfortable for younger players with smaller hands.

The game at the same time as game 2DS 3DS, including the original Nintendo DS titles. It's still access to the store and do all the fun things the original handheld. Given the low price of $ 129, and the simultaneous launch of the 3DS title Pokemon X and Y on October 12, no doubt, it's a handheld you will find many new homes. I went to my workshop sessions with a doubtful, but walking away, it is clear that 2DS is ideal for users on the go, you don't care about 3D or break down their carriage.
