The New Nintendo 2DS

Is this real?

hmm

@wildvine: Oh it's real alright. Check the IGN link i posted.

That is stupidly designed. Its almost as boxy as the original Gameboy

@wildvine: See first image ;D

How are you going to enjoy playing this!? There are shoulder buttons! What are you going to do with the lower part? Jam it between your elbows?

@warlock360

That's just dumb.

Seems legit

The button placement looks like it would be pretty comfortable, but I'll stick with mine. I'd miss the 3D now that I'm so used to it.

How? The Select and Start button would force your thumb to break itself if your hand doesnt slide down.

@warlock360: I mean more how the joystick and D-pad are higher up, so there is no weight above what you're holding, but below. It's pretty insignificant, but little things like that can really affect you if you're in one position for a long time.

I bet this flies off the shelves though around Christmas time.

... just because something is old does not mean the design is good.

If this is just a platform to play old games, like Gameboy and GBA games, I'm all for that; there's some games I have that I'd love to play again. But the design is terrible.

Neat.

Eeeeh...

I'd buy it. Nintendo is the god of handheld gaming for a reason.

@jedixman: This is intented for new games as well xD
