I know it’s humor but you shouldn’t buy a new 2ds anyhow. It’s the worst and most fragile model. The top screen breaks very easily when closed and replacing it is not worth the effort.
I’ve had a “new” 2DS XL since 2019 and it’s fine. It’s really not bad and the top screen is fine. My only complaint is with the battery life (it uses the smaller regular 3DS battery) and the downfiring speakers.
It was much cheaper, and the 3D Effect has some downsides. For one, on some games it’s really not done well so can be skipped. Later games don’t support it at all and also that a surprising amount of people also can not even utilize it because they do not have 3D vision.
I thought the point of it was that it was more durable. The most common break was folding the screen the wrong way and snapping it in half. Is the pic above even a 2DS?
EDIT: That’s a 2DS XL. Looks like it would have all the problems of a 3DS.
Yes, that’s a NEW Nintendo 2ds xl. The new is very important since there are (very few) games that only run on new with more power and ram.
So the issue with these is that the top is so flimsy that if you close it and put the plastic under stress it will break the screen. If it’s open and you stress the screen from the front, it’s okay.
So what happens is that people toss it on the couch closed and sit on it (note comfy couch) and upon opening see the broken screen.
Ive seen this happen first hand a few times. This does not happen with any 3ds or the regular (ugly but very sturdy) 2ds.

Buy any model besides this one.

I’m happy that yours still works but it doesn’t make the crap build any better.
Idk, I’ve had one for 7 years at least, and it’s fine. Just gotta be more careful
Yes, you have to be more careful.
And for a device also aimed at younger people and being a mobile device, that really sucks.
If you treat it well you’ll be fine, of course. But accidents happen.
Yeah, can’t argue here
Also why would you want one? The 3D effects are really good and there’s no eyestrain at all.

3D effect gave me massive headaches, and was more like looking in a fishbowl to me.
Young kids shouldn’t have prolonged exposure to pseudo 3d images. It messes with the focal length.
