Today, the Nintendo 2DS was announced to the world, a slate-style handheld that is essentially a 3DS, but doesn’t play games in 3D. In other words, perhaps Nintendo is rethinking its whole 3D strategy. Interesting enough, the company also did away with the clamshell design, making us wonder where or how this would fit in anyone’s pocket.
But then again, perhaps Nintendo is trying to appeal to the mobile market of tablet users with its 2DS. It’s not like anyone ever has any concerns about an iPad fitting into your pocket. The Nintendo 2DS will be available starting on October 12, 2013 (same day as Pokemon X and Pokemon Y) in red or blue and will be priced at $129.99. It will be able to play all 3DS games and DS games, and Nintendo will also be releasing a carrying case in matching colors for $12.99.
