2DS xl Annouced.

There are moments when I can't tell if Nintendo makes things in short supply to build up hype or if they're just being stupid. Case and point the New 3ds Face plates, since scalpers bought all of them and some of them go for 300 dollars ebay.Semi-DemiFiend said:
I mean, I've been wanting a new3ds, but while the 3D is a neat gimmick I can live without it, so win for me?
Accoding to Gamespot, DS compatibility is still in.kilenem said:
Though if they dropped that and added an HDMI, I wouldn't complain.
My local retailer has preordering available. Only $200AU. $40 cheaper than the 3DS. I honestly don't know why this is a new thing. I wanted to get the 2DS, but not being able to fold it up to protect the screen was what turned me off.
I don't understand why they put the clamshell feature back in for the 2DS XL. I thought the idea of the original 2DS was to not do that to increase durability for kids? Now we're just back to it again. Weird
Is this the marketing equivalent of "stop hitting yourself" for Nintendo? Dude, 90% of the Switch's marketing is "it's a handheld!". Stop sabotaging your own products.
With how many people ridicule the decision for the 2DS design, I don't see it weird that they go back to the clamshell.Elvis Starburst said:
I just hope that the hinges are as strong as the New3DS.
As long as it's getting it's own games, it's not sabotaging itself. Of course the line up of games for the switch is still limited, but as long as I can't play Switch games on my 3DS, this will not sabotage the Switch or 3DS.Johnny Novgorod said:
The only titles that will really break the status quo is a Monster Hunter and pokemon Title finally released for the Switch.
I don't see Pokemon on the Switch, at least not in its current iteration - a small, pixely, top-down mobile game. If they finally went with a "proper" 3D world ala Breath of the Wild, sure. That looks good if you blow it up on TV. But considering Nintendo's baby-step stance on the evolution of the Pokemon franchise (they've done little but throw in more colors and animations since Gold/Silver), I don't think the next Pokemon game would look good on a TV, therefore it probably would crop up in a handheld-only system.Kaimax said:
holy shit, the one nintendo system in the past decade that I might actually get now. that fucking brick 2DS they were trying to sell before was not appealing, thank you for finally giving it the clamshell design.

Funny thing is that there are some 3DS games that don't even HAVE 3D as a feature.ShoobieDoobie said:
My friend was showing me the new Pokemon game, and I asked him how the 3D looked. He's actually never tried it (doesn't actually like the 3D features of the 3DS), so he flipped the switch and it did nothing.
