A bit of strange news has come out today that a blogger predicted the existence of Nintendo 2DS way back in 2011 with a fake news article. As an April Fools joke, the above picture was shown to be a new system heralding the “triumphant return of 2D gaming.” Although the color and design is more like a Game Boy, amazingly, the picture even gets right the rather boxy look of the real 2DS, which was announced by Nintendo last week as a cheaper alternative to their 3DS handheld console. Nostradamus would be proud. http://mynintendonews.com/2013/09/02/nintendo-2ds-predicted-as-april-fools-joke-in-2011/

Sorry guys, for some reason, it did not post the picture of the fake 2ds and I cannot edit it for some reason, so just click on the link to check out the picture!

I'm getting a 404 error when I click the link.

Edit: Found the article. Here's the link http://mynintendonews.com/2013/09/02/nintendo-2ds-predicted-as-april-fools-joke-in-2011/

It didn't work for me also.

Sexy old school

a lot of people predicted the Nintendo 2DS back in those days. More of a joke than anything. We were talking about how Nintendo always remakes their portables and 2DS was one of the popular names, alond with 3DS XL, 3DS Micro, 3DS SP, etc. Didn't expect it to happen, though.

Ha, nice. Doesn't surprise me with how obvious it is though.

It seems Nintendo takes April Fools too seriously.

quick someone better write an article next year Nintendo moneyhats Activision, Rockstar and Square for their top franchises lol.
