You could argue that it’d be tougher to break a 2DS than a 3DS or 3DS XL. After all, unlike its counterparts, Nintendo’s latest handheld iteration lacks a hinge.

Still, the 2DS’ screens are a bit vulnerable. There is no clamshell design, so they’re always exposed.

Let’s say you were to break the system’s screens. How much would a fix cost?

One unlucky girl recently found her system destroyed after dropping it down a flight of concrete stairs, causing the screens to break entirely. Nintendo offered to provide a fix for $65 (not to mention a shipping and handling fee).

So remember: be extra careful with the 2DS… or you may end up having to pay of the system’s cost for Nintendo to fix/replace the screens!

Nintendo: We’re focused on ‘kids’ with 2DS, Sonic and Nintendo franchises will sell the system

Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Platforms | 1 Comment

“There is a lot of opportunity to engage with the younger audience on Sonic with the new entry-level Nintendo 2DS console. From launch to post launch we’ll be focused on kids. Peak season this year is without doubt a big celebration of Nintendo franchises and Sonic sits high on every platform gamers list of ‘must play’ titles.”

– Nintendo product manager Dani Robinson

Sonic: Lost World is out now in Europe, and on October 29th in North America.
