Well, OK 0.0

(It's actually neat though, I'd buy it if I didn't already have a 3DS XL)

But seriously, you couldn't come up with a better name?

It appears you may know nothing about Nintendo, remember this?

Released almost one year after Nintendo DS on NA, I guess DS was not a replacement for GBA after all 

Ofcourse they cant let go of the 3DS line yet, it sells well and has atleast a couple of years life left in it. Nintendo will make some serious cash these coming years if the Switch keeps on selling well also =).

Because it's not enough to double-, triple- or quadruple dip a Nintendo console.

Lol ... that name though. I guess Nintendo is slowly, but consequently getting to SF2 level of ridiculousness in naming their next iterations.  All they're missing is "Turbo" at the end of the name.

And I don't know if I missed something, but what happened to regular 2DS XL?  

I like the idea. If not for me already owning the Switch and using it rouhgly 90% as a handheld console, I'd actually consider getting it.

What Nintendo should do is use the 2DS XL as a sort of "handheld lite"/kid friendlier option that can co exist with the Switch and keep it going, at least for a few years of so. The handheld Nintendo team can still contribute to the Switch library, but can also throw the 3DS/2DS line a bone as well. They could also stress Virtual console of the older handheld games for Gameboy/GBC/GBA/DS, while Switch can emphasize the home consoles.

Then you'll essentially have a nice 3-tier system of platforms to prop you up - the more kid-focused, handheld-centric 2DS/3DS that can act as a sort of ultimate handheld hub for Nintendo, the mobile games which can focus on the mass market/"casual" crowd, and the Switch, which is the home console-focused machine that would emphasize more deeper gaming experiences and the core/older gamers (and get the bulk of the games).

Well, that is not as random as it seems. Rememer the GBA Micro? It came out almost at the same time as the DS. However, they have no excuse to have Switch supply issues if they can afford making new models of old hardware.

Where have you been looking? I can walk down to the shop and buy one right now xD

I might be in the market for one of those! I've been wanting a new 3DS for a while but couldn't justify it at 200€, with my regular 3ds xl a little worse for he wear but still perfectly functional. This might be enough incentive to get it this year and play my 3ds backlog on it inbetween playing the Switch.
