"Is this for real?"

"The hell is this?"

"Arrggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Surely, this is a joke, right? lol"

"Bwah?"

"This is some idiot's April Fool's joke."

"April Fool's, right?"

"I have no idea who this is aimed at."

"This looks like an American tombstone."

"Nintendo is messed up."

"The design is awful."

"If they're going to do this, wouldn't it have been better not to have 3D from the start?"

"It looks dorky."

"It's not embarrassing to put something out like this?"

"Looks like a slice of white bread. lol"

"I get the 2D part, but the design is odd."

If you put a right thumb pad on it, I'll replace mine!

"Well, this is a design that wouldn't be released in Japan."

"A 3DS without 3D?"

"This stinks of the Game Boy Micro."

"If it's $130, that's cheap. Maybe it'll sell."

"What the hell was all that about including 3D?"

"This is awful..."

"Iwata [Nintendo's President] is freaking out."

"When's the 1DS coming out?"

 

I will never get why people care so much about something they don't have to buy. The design is weird (what I thought when I fist saw it) sure, but allows entry to the  3DS library and is for people that care less about the 3D, which is probably quite a few people.

It's not even coming out in Japan or any of the other countries.

Because it's hilarious to see the company making such a crazy decision and undermine their seemingly successful console.

If I was to re do the 3ds it would be a 2d with dual circular pads.
Yep call it 2ds. 2d and 2 sticks.
Better battery and better screens.

The crap they pull out there rear is just that.

I believe using 2ch there is the equivalent of using 4ch here. I don't even think the thing was announced for Japan was it?

Eh... Not really.  4chan was based off the concept of the 2chan imageboards.

I know a couple of people who want to play Pokemon X/Y but can't afford to pay so much for a 3DS and the game.

 

I told them about this and they're excited.

I think i can see the method to the madness with this one. Im pretty sure this is specifically for the release of pokemon in the west.

I think its probably going to hit pay dirt as a pokemon machine.

Gah, if they released one with a pokedex design...

I just appreciate all the Japanese gamers responding in English, many people are bilingual but everyone of them in English is just easier to read.

It's less of a place of ogregotry than 4chan is, though somewhat similar.
I'd compare it to reddit more so than 4chan.

I dont get the hate....unless everyone complaining about is are butthurt 6 year olds 

 

Its marketed at a demographic that likes anything shiny :P

 

Its bulky and flat so that when they throw it or drop it or flail around with it in their hands its not gonna snap in half...

 

Plus bonus points for not causing seizures to the targeted age group

 

Its a genius idea for what it is

What's wrong with that? Some of the smart apps on TV are really terrible, and the interface can be extremely confusing. It's a lot easer just to use a blurayer or console that gets updates.

 

My Idea of a perfect TV is just a gorgeous monitor that hooks up to my AV receiver for all ports.

Families might get more than one....  could be a substitute for a tablet too.  What do people do on tablets?  surf, watch netflix, play games.....

It will likely be a waste of Nintendo's money which is something many care about. I bet the 2DS will be retired in less than a year.


This is the dumbest thing ever.

Yep call it 2ds. 2d and 2 sticks.
Better battery and better screens.

Great point. It makes perfect sense.

Then what would the 4DS have to differentiate itself from it's predecessors?

Some people are colorblind, and would be happy if they can buy a cheaper set that saves cost by cutting out the colour processors. I believe that a B&W leica came out a little while ago that takes absolutely BEAUTIFUL pictures because the same sensor can use each pixel independently instead of together as a colour group.

 

The point is, it may not apply to all, but to some people it's a very acceptable tradeoff for lower cost.

All the hate the 2DS is getting is so perfectly ignorant.

You don't have to buy one. It's another option, not an upgrade.

While people are laughing about how silly the 2DS looks, Nintendo will be laughing all the way to the bank.
