The editors liked
The Nintendo 2DS is the most affordable portable system for a younger gamer or for those not interested in 3D visuals. It packs in a 4GB SD card and gives players access to the 3DS' impressive library of cartridge-based and downloadable games. Best of all
Inexpensive. Can do everything the 3DS does
Except display 3D images. Hinge-free design is more friendly for small hands.
Surprisingly comfortable
Lack of hinges make it a bit more solid
Huge library of 3DS and DS games
The editors didn't like
The 2DS feels cheap and has only one speaker
Which sounds a little lacking. Though it's designed for children
There are a few vulnerable spots on the 2DS
And it might not survive a bad fall. By today's standards
Its screens feel too small
A bit clunky compared with either version of the 3DS or the Sony PlayStation Vita

Look, I get it: it's no coincidence Nintendo launched the 2DS the same day as Pokémon X & Y. And yes, Joey might be right in that some people will use it as a Pokemon machine. But there were so many nice comforts in the 2DS: often, I felt like I was holdi...

Abstract: In a move that left many gamers scratching their heads, Nintendo released the 2DS , a portable gaming system that removes the glasses-free 3D screen and clamshell design for which the console is known. It's a big change, as all but one of Nintendo's recen...
Abstract: I could start this review by simple say the 2DS plays just like a 3DS without the 3D and a lower price point. But there is a bit more to Nintendo cost inviting DS entry. The 2DS is priced at $129, making it an attractive offer for low budget gamers and pa...

I genuinely don't have a problem with the 2DS dropping 3D functionality, on the whole, because I so very rarely use it myself, but also because there are relatively few games that use 3D in an actually engaging way. Even titles like Pilotwings Resort work...
