A cheaper, simpler alternative to its 3D counterpart, the Nintendo 2DS offers dual-screen action in a more kid-friendly package. Given you can't display in 3D though, the stereoscopic camera is pretty useless.

Affordable and durable; Perfect for kids; Plays all 3DS games;

Mono speaker; 3D camera feels pointless; Still not sold on the wedge

Its looks and loss of 3D may be divisive, but the Nintendo 2DS console is great for kids

I bought for my daughter's 9th birthday and I am so impressed! Compared to the original old DS (before they had internet access!), this is more than a games console - there is so much more to it for her. It feels sleek and has a really tidy design. I feel like I got a lot for my money.

I purchased this for my son's tenth birthday present ... but it has been mostly me who has been using it. It's fantastic - the pre-loaded Super Mario Bros 2 on the console has already hooked us both and the trial version of Tamagotchi Life has made me go out and buy the full version of the game.

Brought this ds2 with Mario kart for my 8yr old daughter as we also brought ds2 with Mario bros for my son value for money plus you can take them anywhere

Amazingly. I was sent the wrong DS. But I'm happy. I sent for the regular black blue one and ended up with the second option of Mario kart installed in it. I AM THROUGHLY HAPPY!!!! By all means. This was the best WRONG ITEM confusion I have ever received. THANKS. THE MARIO KART WAS WORTH IT.

This is very expensive and even costlier than the NEW 3DS XL. Very bad Nintendo.

Didn't need or want 3D so went for the 2DS and couldn't be happier. Battery life isn't bad, I run on half brightness and charge nightly and hasn't run flat while in use. Overall feel is comfortable and i was surprised that it fits in my pockets.

My Dad bought me this game system like a little less than a year ago. I chose the black one . I love the color, it is pretty and cute all at the same time. There are two slots in this console, one at the top and one at the bottom.

portable; cute

need to be close to chat; expensive games; ok picture quality

The system is really cute and portable, but I prefer the 3DS. This is a good product to buy for people who hate the 3D on the 3DS and want a portable system.
