There won't be a 3DS successor. They're just saying that in case the Switch flops.

Or there may be room for both . they need to show us why it's just as much of a home console then just always overly pushing the on the go part of the switch. That what the point of conflict maybe for alot of people in the west here . . that the switch was never meant to be a replacements portable for the 3Ds . actions are louder then words. the marketing is what making the conflict here where the switch is involved. it's cool feature .


But if it's home console , then freaking show it that way as well.

really like that design, I would buy it/upgrade to it if it had 3D function

I just don't get the idea of having a 2D only one?

 

I actually really love the design and color choice. I doubt I'll buy one, cause I love my New 3DS XL, but it's still very cool.

 

Based on some specs I saw, it's a hair smaller than the 3DS XL, but considering I already have one of those, as well as the $99 regular 3DS that was released over the holidays, I can't justify buying this. Paying $50 more for no 3D doesn't seem worth it.

But I think it's a great balance for those who have yet to get one.

 

Makes sense, I guess. Handheld market is stronk af.

But that just makes the Switch a wee less appealing though.

 

That is a really cool design. Clearly, they are not abandoning the 3DS, though we will see with the Switch's success.

 

I really hope they don't have a 3DS successor, Nintendo has an opportunity to merge their handheld and home console players and have all their games come out on one platform instead of being spread across two.

 

how does the 3d work on the 3DS?

when I think of 3D, I think of the images "popping" out of the screen when you wear special glasses.

is that what happens on the 3DS, but without needing glasses?

 

I'm gonna nab one of these new 2DS XL's if they have a rad deal on Black Friday. I sold my 3DS to pay for the Switch, but there are some new 3DS titles coming out I'd like to play, and I have a huge library of digital games on the 3DS that I'd like to get back. Also, that design is 10/10. So sleek. So cool.

 

Yeah, it may let me get back into Monster Hunter. That joystick nub would be a god send.

 

The 2DS XL looks good. I'll probably get one since Pokemon Sun runs poorly on the original 3DS. I'll keep my old one and try to use it for homebrew.

 

There's a slider on the side where you can adjust it's intensity, but basically I think what it does is create two separate images. The New models have a stability option where its supposed to adjust the image on screen to match how far your head is, so that the images blend together in a way that makes it pop.

Think of it like those 3D Optical Illusion images, where if you look at it a certain way, you can see images or words pop out.

 

I know 3D works differently for people, but when I look at the 3D on the 3DS, I just see depth. Nothing actually pops out at me, it just looks like I could reach my hand in the screen, and grab an object in the background. So the characters in the foreground look the same(they sit on the screen), it's just all the object in the background that have stretched out further into the background, and have been given depth. My friend says it's the opposite for him, where the background images stay the same, and the foreground images pop out at him.

I remember the same thing happened with my sister when we had those old Magic Eye books back in the 90s. All the images she saw popped out at her, whereas the same images went in the background for me. I never actually had any images pop out at me. They went in the opposite direction. I would still see a 3D effect, but the images went in an opposite direction.

 

thanks guys.

So, it's more of a visual gimmick and doesn't really affect the games or gameplay?

in that case, I think I might just get the cheaper 2DS XL in July, since I don't really care for 3D effects anyways.

Are there games that only work in 3D or on the 3DS?
