Nintendo 2DS

[mugetsu]

redesigned wii u with no gamepad and pro controller/wii mote functionality only.

Tried a demo 2DS at lunchtime today in Game store, really felt like it was aimed at a young market design wise, needs screens the size of the XL for sure. Felt sturdy and pretty comfortable to hold though.

Are they going to make a slightly cheaper Wii-U that's constantly attached to the console?

as in a Remote on a wire? are you a mad its not 1950 anymore chimp

[VR46]

heh, I'm old enough to remember TV remote controls before they were all infrared sadly. Same with remote controlled cars.

Just wouldn't cut it with the demanding yoof of today.

I used to use a snooker cue.
There were 8 buttons. When you pushed one, the other one would pop out. This was fine until I wondered "what would happen if I tried to press them all at once?" Duh!!!

Same for me, but an umbrella without the cloth.

Same for my dad, he used me.

I remember the cabled up remote on my Grans VCR. It didn't reach the couch so I sat with it on the floor and had to fast forward through the ads.

We had a wood-effect Technics TV(I think it was, anyway) where the remote had two sets of buttons - the main set on the face and another reduced set on the bottom edge) and there was a little slot for it in the TV. Insert the remote and it sits flush with the surface and the bottom buttons act as the TV's built-in ones - channel up/down, volume up/down, power on/off.

At the time I thought it was really cool but now I realise it was pretty silly. If the remote broke or the batteries ran out there was no way to operate the TV. This happened on a few occasions.

My cousins had the cabled remote for their VCR. Same problem as you, CMcK

Need help fellas.

I reckon Money will burn a hole in my pocket today and end up landing on a 3DS. I don't know whether to get the cheaper 2ds (lack of 3d doesn't bother me) or the xl (I do like the big screen).

Want to get MH and Pokemon too, but if I go xl, I don't think I could buy two games.... First world problems here.

2DS has no CPP support, so no MH. Unless you don't mind a virtual second control, which sucks hard IMO.

I'd get an XL with X or Y for now. Even if you got MH, you likely couldn't buy the CPP to go with it anyway. Plus playing those two games at the same time is plain dumb.

Oddly the 2ds might appeal as 3d makes me feel sick. Miss DS games since the DS lite Ouendan!

Actually, the more I think about it, I reckon it would make more sense for me to buy a Vita. As I have lots of free games from my Plus account and some cross platform deals.

i will eventually get a xDS at some point.

[J0e Musashi]

You can turn off the 3D.

[dataDave]

Get an XL with Pokemon as that's all the rage. Wait for MH4 to come out and then get that.
