Not fond of the light blue bevel. Hoping for other colors.

there will also be a White model with orange highlights

I like that one even less. Why not Black on Black? D:

I hope it doesnt because I would love them to support the 3DS longer. Its the better system out of the two systems they had last gen.

Absolutely it is. Though, Nintendo is in its next generation, so last generation should stay well... the last generation.



It looks awesome....  its sad its price is almost twice of the normal 2ds though.

Still, this looks like a better buy than than the 3DS XL or such that cost into the 200$+ range.

Looks cool, basically a 3DS design without 3D.

 

I would have preferred if they had released this 3 years ago when I bought my own 3DS XL.

 

Its perfect.

 

Clampshell design, XL screens and No gimmicky 3D nonsense.

 

I havent touched my 3D on my 3DS XL since the day I bought it back in Holiday 2013 - tried it on Pokemon X, didnt like and never used it since - such a useless feature.

Similar situation. I had one of the original 3DS models but hardly used the 3D feature. I would use it just to see how the game looked and then never use it again during my playthroughs. I eventually sold it for a 2DS which has served me well. But this would have been better years ago when I bought the 2DS.



e=mc^2

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

.... no .... i was really hoping to see the 3DS die so all software would be on the switch .... If i were third party I'd probably design for the larger install base ...

I honestly think this is basically what Sony did with the last revision for the PS1 or Nintendo did with the GBA Micro.  It's there to mop up some sales in the closing of the generation with a sleek, affordable option.

I feel the same. This seems to be an ultimate version of the 2DS such as how the New 3DS was the ultimate version of the original. Rounds out their sales projections and their 3DS line-up.



This looks pretty good aesthetically.



I'm probably getting this.

Never updated to the New 3DS / 3DS XL, and I still have my launch 3DS, so at least I have a decent justification.



Oh wow, this was unexpected!

Nice to see the clamshell design, though when opened, the angle looks a bit awkward :p
