2DS is actually made up of one screen, not two
The 3DS and 3DS XL both have separate screens. The 2DS, however, does not. As it turns out, the system is made up of a single larger screen.
USGamer reports:
“Curiously, the 2DS is even more of a tablet-style system than it appears at first glance, as it actually features a single large screen in its center, not two separate ones. As one of their cost-cutting design measures, Nintendo reduced the number of screens in the system from two to one, and the appearance of separate screens is merely simulated by the way the case masks out the extraneous portions. This means the entire screen is by necessity a touchscreen, with the upper screen protected by a layer of plastic that sits above it.”
This isn’t too surprising given how the 2DS is made. It’s definitely interesting nonetheless.
