Glad they are going back to conventional designs. I was worried about a third screen on the back of the 4ds.

I actually like this... the price is reasonable and I don't need 3d. I also think Nintendo should make kind of a new concept without touch screen and make it somewhat smaller with HD screen. Though that's not gonna happen too soon I reckon

So let me get this straight: no 3d and it cant be closed with a 2 screen design? No thanks. Sounds like a piece of junk.

Yes, I'm quoting myself. It appears that the above statement is exactly what this thing is. This makes no sense to me at all. It's big and ugly, and there's no way in hell it's fitting in any of my pockets. It certainly isn't fitting into the pockets of anyone under seven years of age... (Nintendo's stated target demorgraphic for this device). This is supposed to be "portable" right? It also has a smaller screens than the 3ds XL, so that would contribute to eystrain much more than 3d imo.

I see this thing being a huge flop for Nintendo. I honestly can't see them selling many of these. I'm really quite confused by the direction they're trying to take here.

Yeah, if it was just a 3DS with no 3D, maybe I would have had a look at it. But its design (can't close it) makes it unusable for me. I'd rather pay 30€ more and be able to carry a 3DS with 3D disabled.

Meh, saving 50$ on a 170$ console does not seem worth losing the nice 3D and folding.  Is the 3Ds backwards compatable, or is that something only the 2ds has?

Now that I think about it, maybe too many kids lost their 3DS everywhere so Nintendo decided to design one that is easier to spot in the woods or something.

Just get the hot-pink 3ds. Problem solved.

*Wants*

The only DS ones with GBA were the DS and the DS Lite, right?
