No, he means that the actual journalist confused the terms and typed 2DS, thinking it was the DS. Awful journalismModern games journalism, yeah.

Fixed.

Yeah, you're totally right. Modern game journalism sucks. I don't know what I was thinking :P

Combined with Nintendos awful naming of their systems, its bound to happen...

Yeah, although I think that 3DS is a cool name. Not the same with WiiU, which is awful. Still, the journalist really has to be informed, so that's awful either way.

Yeah, internet era brought click-bait articles and any monkey's hability to put something on the net. One of the reasons I'm not a journalist is that I'm not good at it. I expect the same for people, acknowledge what their virtues are lol.

Well, internet shit posting and click bait have existed for a long time, the problem is actual journalists have mirrored the tactics because clicks/traffic is more important than integrity to them.



Still not as big as the one who said "The Playstation Gameboy".



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Yeah, that's a shame. There are really good journalists out there, but they're kind of overshadowed by these "journalists" sometimes. 



I never understood the confusion between Wii and Wii U. Honestly, the only ones confusing are... yikes...



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


It's just a typo. He typed 2DS instead of DS.
