Seems pointless, unless you have one eye or just can't take the 3D.

Or you know...a cheap new handheld parents can get their kids so they can play their new Pokemons or whatever they call it.

I had a hard time seeing the point initially, then thought of this:

Look at the redesign. It's a perfect Pokemon starter for kids, and even though I'm not impressed with the change it wouldn't be hard to see this taking off with the kids. And having the same release date is no coincidence.

Oh, please. Take your logic and go write for Forbes!


Seriously though, you are absolutely right, Soren. It'd also be great to get a second 3DS, just so my brother can play 3DS games with me (he seldom uses the 3D) and he can have his own without us having to share.

now that is more like it, will be getting one of these for sure.

Nuh-uh.

I actually really like the design of this thing I just wish it had an XL screen. The darn hinges on the typical DS models is killing me. They function fine they just loosen so much over time it irks me.

[Wah]

A $70 ripp-off of the 3DS! yep that's gonna sell!

Creating a Brain Age 2DS bundle could be a great way to appeal to parents and casuals. It worked for the DS Liteā€¦

I also wish it had the XL sized screens. I still would like to try it out though
