Nintendo New 2DS XL - Black + Turquoise

Product Information

Both games' action take place primarily on the top screen, which looks excellent for a 3DS family device. It's fairly bright and vivid, and compares favorably with the New 3DS XL's top screen with the glasses-free 3D disabled. The 3D is seldom missed in most games, and I simply disabled it the vast majority of the time I played games on my New 3DS anyway. I was able to have a play session with one of these systems the other day. As someone who is still using the original 3DS, this new system felt like a cheap build in comparison. Great in terms of anyone seeking a new 3DS at an affordable price, but the general durability of the system just didn't seem quite as strong as previous models. Even the design of the original 2DS seems a lot stronger. Purple and silver New 2DS XL Mario Kart 7 Bundle launches September 28". August 28, 2018. Archived from the original on September 17, 2018 .

I played Dragon Quest 8 and Monster Hunter Generations on the New 2DS XL, and they both worked just as well as it does on a New 3DS. Dragon Quest 8 plays very smoothly, and the analog control nub adjusts the camera easily. Like on the New 3DS and New 3DS XL, the nub feels very stiff, and isn't precise enough for aiming in an action game, but it's useful for camera controls and other activities that don't need a delicate touch. Both systems use stereo sound, but their locations differ. On the New Nintendo 3DS XL, the speakers are on both sides of the top screen, whereas on the New Nintendo 2DS XL, they are on the bottom of the handheld. Unfortunately, sound may be muffled due to this change, but as always, the 3DS is best heard with headphones. a b c d e f g "Nintendo 3DS family comparison chart" (PDF) (PDF). Nintendo of Europe .

[ dead link] The original 2DS had something of a divisive design, with its flat, wedge-like shape that had both of the system's screens placed on a single, non-foldable plane. Getting your own hands on it was really the only way to see if you liked what Nintendo was attempting to do, with many finding it to be quite a comfortable piece of kit.
