First impressions: Hands-on with Nintendo 2DS | USA Today

When covering video games, sometimes judging with your hands is more important than with your eyes or ears.

Sooooo, the L and R buttons aren't so far away from the buttons and slide pad that you have to stretch to reach them?
Good.
Means it'll be comfortable to hold.

[JackOfAllBlades]

I really don't think it will be comfortable, I mean just look at it

[BullyMangler]

yyep and im gonna play the new smash bros on this rather a 3DS because of the new comfort this machine brings. im thinking that by the time the new smash for the 3DS comes out they will release the 2DS (XL) bundled with the new smash bros hopefully yes please.

What the heck? Where did this thing come from? First I've heard about it!

[grahf]

It was announced today. Don't feel bad, it wasn't a Rockstar, Microsoft, or Activision (to name a few) product so the the obligatory "leak" never came!

[Rockdown]

The ugliest console ever.

[Tewi-Inaba]

Guess you've never seen a Sega Game Gear...

[grimmweisse]

To be honest the game gear didn't look like a burnt out piece of toast. 2ds is just hideous out right!

[Rockdown]

I loved the game gear, it was far from ugly.

[kingPoS]

The Gamegear wasn't bad, it only demanded that batteries be continually sacrificed in it's name or it wouldn't shine it's light upon you.

It was a benevolent handheld.

lol

[mastershredder]

Wedge shape. Now I can use a DS as a door stop.

[ParaDise_LosT]

door stop that plays more games than the vita

[Aeronishun]

HA! Good one.XD
On a related note, I sincerely hope the Vita gets enough good games to become more than an after-thought....

[Ripsta7th]

Lol they just cant handle it

[stuna1]

Nintendo fans upset about how they're being treated! So they badmouth Vita as vindication! So so sad!!!!!

[jonboi24]

Seriously Nintendo just make a dedicated gaming tablet already, it's so obvious that you want to make one.

[Wizziokid]

God no i like buttons not touch controls, the ds offers a perfect balance.

[Ripsta7th]

So its a 3ds without the 3d feature? What the quakkk... first time seeing and hearing about this abomination

[PrimeGrime]

Why are they wasting money making this. Why not just save $40 dollars and buy a 3DS... That design is probably one of the worst by far I have ever seen in my entire life.

Seriously what are they thinking... First the Wii mini, now this..

I didn't believe it was even real. I really don't understand it either when the 3DS is selling so well as it is, practically everyone has one.

This just seems like a complete waste of money on Nintendo's part.

[pyramidshead]

w-wat

[duducus]

Nintendo, you make some weird looking stuff... lol. Always have to be different.

[ArtificiallyYours]

I was going to post an insightful comment, but N4G'ers hate that.

So.

"Ugh I'm not in the target range for this device! What treason!"

[grahf]

Bubbles! More bubbles!
