It's no longer hinged, instead using a tablet-like layout. The system's form factor, while resembling the 3DS/3DS XL, is quite a departure. (It's "nearly all" since differences in hardware, such as the absence of the GBA cartridge slot that let the DS play 'Guitar Hero,' make full backwards-compatibility impossible.) As with the 3DS, the 2DS will also be compatible with nearly all the games in the original DS' library.
Losing the 3D isn't a major loss as games are designed to play in 2D as a baseline, with the extra D added on top. 12 with red or blue highlights for $129.99, the 2DS can play the complete library of Nintendo 3DS games - both physical and digital - in two dimensions. If you wanted to play games on the Nintendo 3DS but didn't want to deal with the non-essential 3D effect due to headaches/eye fatigue, Nintendo has a solution for you in the form of its new Nintendo 2DS.Īvailable Oct.

The GamePad, while black as well, will be decorated with the golden Hyrule crest and other decorative gold script.
On that same date, Nintendo will release a limited-edition $299.99 'The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD’ Wii U bundle including the black Deluxe console and a download code for the new game. Rumors have hinted that various retailers had been doing away with ordering that model anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a leap of logic to see Nintendo doing away with it entirely. Nintendo didn't say what this new price for the Deluxe SKU means for the basic set (the currently-$300 white system with 8GB of storage). Note that that new price is still more than three weeks away however, it wouldn't be a shock to see individual retailers cut the price ahead of time to avoid losing sales due to the Osborne effect. 20, the Wii U Deluxe Set (the black one with 32GB of on-board storage, a copy of 'Nintendo Land' and various stands) will see its MSRP cut to $299.99 from $349.99.
