[Let’s Talk] The New 2DS XL

Posted on April 29, 2017 by (@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Let's Talk

Probably the biggest piece of Nintendo news this week was the reveal of the New 2DS XL. A new hardware announcement was definitely unexpected – especially another iteration of the 3DS.

But here we are. The 2DS XL exists. It’s like a combination of the New 3DS XL and 2DS, so it makes sense that the $150 price point also falls between the two.

Many of the New 3DS XL features are here. You’re getting the same large screen, power, and built-in NFC support. There’s no stereoscopic 3D support, but the system is lighter.

So what does everyone make of the New 2DS XL? Do you have any interest in it at all? Do you believe it’s smart for Nintendo to be introducing another model of the 3DS? Let us know in the comments below.

Highlights from last week’s topic: Potential SNES Mini games

The original Star Fox has never been released on the virtual console so that would be a great addition and… How about the finished but unreleased Star Fox 2?!?!?

I hope it comes to fruition. I hope they do all the way up to a Gamecube Mini, especially if they intend to release GC VC for the Switch. ♥ Animal Crossing PG, and a new Animal Crossing on one hybrid-portable!? Yes, please!

As for the SNES Mini? Third party galore, ya’ll. Both Breath of Fire games, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy titles, Bahamut Lagoon (finally officially translated), Gradius 3, Ogre Battle, Mega Man (esp X), Secret of Mana.

I’m not interested in Lufia, but I know they’re cult classics.

For first party: Earthbound (with unaltered localization!), Kirby games, etc.
