Why This????


Side-angle view of the 2DS
On October 12, Nintendo is set to release yet another version of the DS, the Nintendo 2DS. Many including myself are entirely bored with Nintendo and its DS and its overall decision these past few years. The only pro for this system is that it will be the cheapest system on the market, as it will only sell for $170.00 on its release date, and my guess is that by the end of the year it will be selling for $100.00 less. This is another one Nintendo's many bad decisions, the system is everything a 3DS is except its not 3D,hence the 2D in 2DS, but who would really buy this? I fear very few people, the company claim that its aim is to sell this handheld console to a younger audience, preferably those under 7, as the 3DS was in the middle of a scandal regarding the health effects of its 3D gaming. But I think it would be wiser to buy a DSi or DS Lite or a regular DS if your only concern was 3D gaming, and plus these previous DS's are much cheaper than the already cheap 2DS. This is going to be a worse failure than the Wii U, which Nintendo intended to rival the XBox One and the PS3, the 2DS also looks like Wii U remote. In the gaming world, many are wondering if Nintendo becoming irrelevant, as a kid who grew up on Nintendo, I sure hope not, but if company continues to recycle old products and try to sell them as new ones, then I am afraid that is exactly were they are heading!
