"The thing perhaps most surprising was how comfortable it felt in the hands. All the buttons are in perfect reaching distance for thumbs, and while it's not on the level of the PS Vita in terms of feel, it's far better than we expected."

"There's something about the 2DS that gives me a nice Game Boy Advance vibe. Again, I was surprised at how much I liked it. Holding my 3DS XL next to it in comparison, I was ready for a trade in. I'll have no problem springing for a 2DS when they are released this October. "

SUrprised? Expected?

Paid off reviews or something.
Or Nintendo slipped them ecstasy in their drinks before hand.

This, can't be true.

I'm surprised by people who already own a 3DS saying they're going to switch to the 2DS. Nintendo said themselves that it's meant for small children. I wouldn't expect it to be more comfortable or convenient for an adult than the other models.

i want one tooo o.O it'll grow over you dengle imo i think next year instead of a 2ds xl, make a 2DS Tablet, have one big touch screen without the middle size of an xl sell it for $160! Wat do you think?

I think we already have that and it's called the Wii U Gamepad.

I think what you're describing sounds more like a 3DS family successor and not a remodel, since it would result in new capabilities for developers, meaning games developed for 2DS XL that aren't playable on previous models.

i meant easier to browse/etc, it'll have maybe a black line in the middle to display top and bottom screen! Maybe its crazy lol, but i do kno 2ds will be massive!

This thing is going to sell with Pokemon X & Y. R.I.P Vita

R.I.P Vita. Good riddance.
