A 3DS without the 3D function????
Now before everyone assume this is a late April Fools Joke, it is NOT!!
Today Nintendo had announced that there will be a 3DS model released WITHOUT THE 3D function, hence the console with be called the Nintendo 2DS. The 2DS will still have WI-Fi, Streetpass, eShop and backwards DS compability.
Guessing Ninty are going with the tablet phase
One of the reasons for the release of this model is to attract a larger and younger audience, has before stated that the 3D should not be used by anyone under 6years old. This model unlike the 3DS clamshape design is going with a flat tablet-like design. This ain’t the first time Nintendo has went with this route, as with the Game Boy Micro which was a small pocket size Game Boy Advance released in 2005.
The new 2DS is being sold on Game for £109.99 with free UK delivery in two colour combinations, white and red or black and blue and comes with a 4GB SD Card. Also the 2DS is stated for release on the 12th October which is the same date as the Pokemon X & Y release. In Addition there will be cases to hold your 2DS which are predicted to cost around £10-15.

I definitely think this is a good idea. Working in Argos for 3 years I saw, so many times, the damage young children could do to DSes just by messing around with the hinges too much. Shame it doesn’t have a charger, but the 4gb memory card is generous at least =)
It also remind me of this article I wrote for PlusXp! Looks like my wishes came true : http://www.plusxp.com/2012/05/newsflash-girl-with-monofocal-vision-has-3ds-and-loves-it/
Guess it always has that kiddie market, but it feels like the smaller WIi mini that can’t play GameCube games.
info I saw said it does come with AC adaptor
I alsi think it’ll be a good entry level console for children and people not bothered about 3D
