2ds announced

You know what this reminds me of? The Gameboy Micro. Anyone else remember those?

Looks appealing but I gave up on consoles for PC.

-Parent buys 2DS for child.
-Years later, child is older and wishes to play in 3D.
-Now parent needs to buy a new 3DS.


GBMicro was ridiculous, no link cable/wireless adaptor(from Pokemon) support was what killed it.

If they were worried in a sense over the fact the hinges could break on a 3DS, couldn't they just make it slide or something of a GBMicro variant?
Either way, could have been executed better, but..eh, I'll bite.

They're not worried about the hinges breaking, it's just cheaper to manufacture a brick than two custom parts with a hinge that you need to thread wires through.

Apparently there is more money saving to the 2DS than first meets the eye. It only has 1 screen. It's just separated by the plastic on top. That's why it doesn't fold.

That's not really Kaz Hirai before someone says something.

Well, I thought this was going to happen.

Also

They're not the only people being confused.

The "2dees" is the same as the "3dees" but with lower resolution graphics! (Bonus points for the "32 gb wii" getting $50 cheaper?)
