Should I get a 3DS/2DS?

CIS · December 30, 2015, 09:19:10 PM

I've been thinking about getting a 3DS system for the exclusive games. Should I go through with it and would it be a bad idea to buy a 2DS to save money?

If you don't care about the smaller screen and less powerful hardware then by all means, go right ahead.

If you like pokemon/smash/animal crossing, then I say yes.

If you want an expensive doorstop get the 2DS.

If you want an even more expensive one get the PS Vita.

Is the hardware on the 2DS less powerful than the 3DS?

At this point don't go for the 2DS or 3DS, get a New 3DS or New 3DS XL if you want though. I recommend them.

The hardware is pretty much identical to the 3DS (not the New 3DS though)

It looks like a doorstop and is kind of funky to hold.

What's the new 3DS exactly and how big is the hardware upgrade?

Elai · January 01, 2016, 04:31:26 PM

There aren't really many games that I enjoy on the platform, save Pokemon, so if you're like that, then don't worry about it.

Although, having recently bought a Wii-U I can say I've enjoyed myself quite a bit in the last couple of weeks.

The New 3DS has a slightly better CPU.

No. The New 3DS.
That's the actual name. The New 3DS.

There's the 3DS and 3DS XL, The 2DS, and the New 3DS and New 3DS XL.

Is it worth buying the new model at all?

Nintendo said it wouldn't have any exclusives.
It does have an extra analogue stick though, and two extra bumper buttons. If you can live without these then just get the older 3DS.

It already has an exclusive. The 3DS Xenoblade can only be played on the new model.

Oh, then I don't give a shit. I just like Nintendo's games as they're usually really good.

It's only the best game on 3DS.

If you enjoy cooperative based RPGs that are grindy as fuck with a steep learning curve then you'll love it.
