Darvond: This is hilarity at its finest. If one goes to Nintendo's youtube, you'll find that they've disabled ratings and comments!
I don't see how that compares to George Carlin but I'll take your word for it.
Crazy...

Elmofongo: Aaand still no second control stick.....yeah.
If they added a second control stick they'd screw everyone over. Yes there should have been one on the 3DS in the first place, no they shouldn't add one in a revision.

Zchinque: There are also a couple of games where you need to close the DS/3DS and open it again for some in-game purpose. I don't know, there might be a way around that on the 2DS, though.
I doubt the 2DS is unable to sleep, I guess they will have added a sleep button instead of the reed switch all the other DSs had. Pressing that twice in a row should be enough for games that require you to close the DS for a moment.

But than this 2DS is incompatible with the old Control Stick Pro attachments so it would be a huge oppertunity to just add a second stick on the 2DS to save money rather than make a whole nother attachment.

Looks like shit. D:

Roman5: It looks very, very bad

who on earth designed this thing?
Carefull here : I agree this is an ugly piece of videogaming device, but it's a very clever/efficient design.
You just have one PCB with exclusively "on-board" components, in the end what you lose on visual aspect you gain on sturdiness and cost reduction.

There's a sleep switch, just most photos of the 2DS are at awful angles. Its easily triggered on the bottom right, a slide like the wireless.

One of the few times where I wish Nintendo had run this revision by us and given us a chance to shoot it down and suggest far better ideas.

Games like FPSes usually use the stylus as a second control stick and it's not a bad system if used well (Metroid).

I heard, Sony even released a few games for it. Nobody knows why. People were mostly buying it as a posh paperweight.

I love the way the guy goes "don't like Street Fighter? try Mortal Kombat!"
The list of top sellers on both systems fails to impress.
I'm sure it will be great for little kids, but I'm staying away. I'll only buy one if I need a new axe head.
Hey, some people don't like the 3D functionality on the 3DS and this offers a cheap alternative. I don't see a problem with this existing aside from the fact that it's not really a 'pocket device' because it's not flip designed. It's dumb when we look as "core" gamers, not searching for a "worse" alternative, but this is fine for folks that might be just needing a discount.

Your avatar continues to freak me out. Why exactly are you a 21st Century Schizoid Man?
