You can also get a 2DS, a cheaper version with the 3D part removed.

However that also means you get a 3ds that looks dumb and is harder to fit in pockets.

Also, the screens are exposed and easier to damage by accidentally knocking into things.

[JoshuaFH]

When you buy the 3DS or 2DS be sure to buy the top and bottom screen protectors, just little films of plastic to put over them like little armor to absorb all the little scratches that occur through normal use.

In conclusion: if you hate yourself, get a 2DS.
If you don't hate yourself, get a 3DS and at least have the option for 3D.

The biggest deal is that the 2DS doesn't flip closed, so it's a bit bgger and clunkier as mentioned earlier. The lack of 3D though is a much smaller concern, cause I've owned a 3DS for almost 3 years now and I've discovered 0 (Zero) games that have been improved by the addition of 3D, any addition of it, even the smallest hint of it, is extremely disorienting and distracting, and depending on how severe it is it just feels like the 3DS wants to fuck my eyes. Some games you can't even turn it off, it's just a permanent feature of the game that's here and queer get used to it.

But I've heard differing opinions before, some people like it, I'm sure those people are the same people that can read the tiny 1-point font that's written on Yugioh cards, they just have better eyes than me that can take the abuse all day and like it.

But as I've said, my 3DS is nearly 3 years old now and it's still going very strong, just some of the paint on the sides is rubbed off from the now thousands of hours I've held it in my hands and the stylus holster is a little worn out so the stylus doesn't fit snugly into it anymore. Honestly I should hire Nintendo to make cars and buildings, cause their shit just never breaks, so long as you take care of it.

The 2DS isn't awful if you're on a budget. Just buy a case.

[Aklyon]

If you're on a budget though, you could just not get it for slightly longer and get a normal 3ds instead. If you aren't, the 3dsxl is a pretty alright choice too if you want/need a slightly larger device or want slightly more battery.

Strange, I've played with my friends 3DS before and I've always loved the 3D effect. But then I'm also the person who loves to watch movies in 3D as well, and I never seem to have any of the problems with 3D stuff that some people seem to have, so to each their own, I guess.

Funnily enough at least for the first DS the point of failure for me was always the cable going through the hinge breaking after countless opening and closings twisting the wire, which would actually be avoided with the 2DS version.

That said currently looking at the "new" 3DS xl, I can afford a bit more cost to ensure that my console has a bit of future proofing in it, and it's not that much extra to go from the normal new 3DS to the xl version in most cases.

[Aklyon]

I still can't belive nintendo literally did not bother adding to the name of thd new 3dsxl. It is just the new one.

[SOLDIER First]

the new 3dsxl is the New 3DSXL. its the title

[Nighthawk]

Other systems aren't really much better. PS3, PS3 slim. Xbox 360, Xbox 360E, Xbox 360S. 3DS, New 3DS.

At least the name of the New 3DS is pretty straightforward, even if it does seriously lack creativity... and cause issues when searching internet retailers and trying to figure out whether you're getting a new New 3DS or a new... 3DS.

... I take it back, I want to complain about the name now.

"I need the New 3DS" vs "I need a new 3DS"

Actually, I have my foot in my mouth here, but all my comments were about the 3DSXL, I've never touched or looked at the normal sized version, and in fact I forgot that the normal sized version even existed. XL all the way, btw.

[JoshuaFH]

Got my copy Conquest, and I have to say this is SIGNIFICANTLY cooler and more stylish than previous entries in the series. Everything is so new and refreshing! Alright Intelligent Systems, you sold me enough to get the Birthright half of the game, you deserve it.

It's Feudal Japan Vs Baroque Europe in this smackdown dragout brawl, pick your NATIONALITY!

Having reached chapter six, I find I do not wish to make a choice.

And Revalations is not out
