Nintendo 2DS hands-on introduction

Synopsis

Nintendo released their 3DS handheld games console two years ago, which sold over 30 million units. However, it included a warning that the stereoscopic visuals were not suitable for children under seven. In response, Nintendo released the Nintendo 2DS, which retains the same technology as the 3DS but removes the stereoscopic 3D visuals. The design changes to a slate format without a hinge, resembling a wedge of cheese. The Nintendo 2DS can play all previous 3DS games and Nintendo DS games, providing access to a vast library. Most Nintendo 3DS games do not heavily rely on 3D visuals, meaning players do not miss out on gameplay experiences. The Nintendo 2DS offers a more child-friendly option while maintaining compatibility with existing games.
