I am definitely not disappointed! For about half the cost

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I was on the fence about whether or not to purchase a 3DS or a 2DS, but because of the value, I went with this one. I am definitely not disappointed! For about half the cost, you get the exact same system with the same capabilities, minus the 3D. To me, the 3D is a nice little bonus, but if you get motion sickness or dizzy from playing, you wouldn't use the 3D often anyway. I've spoken with many friends who use the 3DS and all of whom never actually turn on the 3D. I also wanted to mention the one downside is the size; it isn't exactly pocket-size for on the go. This, to me, is a pro and a con. While you can't just put it in your pocket and go, it does feel very comfortable to use. Also, there is a level of durability because there are no hinges.

All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase. For the first time in a long time, I have an affordable handheld gaming device that I actually enjoy. The major draw of this system was that it came with Mario Kart 7 and was same day shipping. The item came exactly as described in box and had all the manuals and extras I expected. One thing to note, I haven't yet attempted to download/install Mario Kart but I will update with any issues.

Great Choice for Young Children (and adults too)

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

Bought this as a diversion tool for my 5 year-old for our cross-country flight to Seattle. The 2DS was the choice over the 3 because I did not feel the need for 3d for my little one, and really didn't like the folding design of the 3ds.

This thing is AWESOME. And when I say awesome, I actually mean for the entire family. Mario Kart 7 (included) is addictive and brings me back to my days of playing N64. The device is a little over the head of my 5 year old, but I added the parental controls and they produced a much more navigable desktop for the device.

This is a great game system. It's very easy to limit his time to using it by taking it and playing it myself :-)

Perfect price and still plays 3DS games

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

My daughter had been bugging us for a 3DS but we found out the she could play the 3DS games on the 2DS and the price was half that of the 3DS. She has been happily playing with this game system for the last couple of days and I think we picked the right system for her. The only con is that it is larger than the 3DS because you can't fold it in half. But, I couldn't see spending twice the amount of money for a different system that would play the same games. Obviously it's not 3 dimensional, but she didn't really care about that feature. There may be other features that are different that I'm not aware of, but if you're just getting it to play games, I'm not sure that the added cost for the 3D experience is worth it.

Very disapointed, sorry nintendo

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2017

The system is overall great value but put the tiny screen together with the fact it doesnt have gameboy advanced slot and it adds up to a mess. For a console marketed just for kids it seems they could have done much more with the main screen as its so small and most deffinatley a tn screen [poor veiwing angles and color] if ypur above 10 uears old do not buy dont not buy

The only main issue was that Mario Kart 7 was NOT preinstalled, even though there was a sticker on the back of the 2DS that said "MK7 [Mario Kart 7] Pre-Installed".

Overall this is a good gaming system

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

Overall this is a good gaming system . It met my expectation its just that, my hands get tired after playing for couple of hours bcoz of its weight. Its a lil too heavy. Aside from that everything is all good! I recommend this product. Perfect for the kids. I already bought 10games since i got this! Oh and one more thing! I would've given it 5stars if the Super Mario World is playable on this 2ds but unfornately not. That was actually the reason why I bought this.

so this keeps him pretty occupied. He loves Mario Kart 7 and racing ...

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2016

I bought this for my son's 8th Birthday and he absolutely loves his game. He can sit for hours during long trips or when I am up and about shopping. My son's attention span is a little short, so this keeps him pretty occupied. He loves Mario Kart 7 and racing with the other characters. This game is pretty light weight and the Blue color is pretty nice. I like the pen that comes with it because it makes him feel like he has a fancy device like the grown ups. The volume is great and the sound effects are very clear. I can hear the whistles and the music pretty clear also. I love all of the special effects within the game and the colors are. My son loves the camera and will sneak up on you to take funny photos of us and laugh hysterically to himself. We have to watch out for him now. I am so glad I decided to purchase this game for him because he loves it. I would recommend this game to boys or girls because it is so much fun. The shipping was pretty quick and I had no issues.

Una excelente opción para entretenimiento casual

Reviewed in Mexico on January 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

Es mucho más ligera que las otras versiones de 3DS o 2DS, es una muy buena opción para los niños, ya que además es cómoda (en mi opinión más que el 3DS original y el XL). En mi opinión, no se extraña para nada la opción de 3d.
Si se quiere entretenimiento más intenso y con más opciones, podría resultar mejor la 2DS XL, debido al tamaño, que la consola puede compactarse un poco y la adición del stick, sin embargo como mencioné, es una muy buena opción para los más pequeños.
En su momento la compré en oferta cuando estaba en $1600, así que resultó ser una excelente compra, me lo pensaría mucho en precio de $3000, en ese caso mejor juntaría un poco más para un 2DS XL

Great buy for the price

Reviewed in Canada on October 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Nintendo 2DS is fantastic and beat my expectations. If you are looking for a casual handheld gaming experience then this is something to really consider. The way the system feels amazing in your hands, very natural. Mario Kart 7 came in the bundle and it's a ton of fun. I have spent hours playing it already. Other than that it was what you expect. The console works, can connect to wifi, claims 4 hours of battery life on full charge but mine seems to be going closer to 4 and half hours, came with the power adapter and there seems to be a ton of great Nintendo games out there you can purchase.

The only negative thing I can think of is it doesn't fold like the 3DS so if you plan to carry it around places it might not be the best fit in your pockets but you can place it in your bag or purse. However, all I got it for was to do some casual light gaming before bedtime so this is not an issue for me as I don't bring it out of the house.

In conclusion, it's a great system at an even greater price. The Mario Kart 7 game that comes with it just sweetens that deal. I highly recommend this product.

Amazing Console for 100

I really love playing games on this device ! it's been 2 years and it still works well. The only issue I feel is that it can't fold and fit in my pocket. It has a good build and feels nice to hold. It only lags a little sometimes when in Pokemon ORAS something graphically intense happens.The mario kart 7 pre-installed was an added bonus for this package. Really love it
Really recommend this for people like me who only buy Nintendo for Pokemon or Mario games

La mejor opción a un precio más que razonable.

Reviewed in Mexico on March 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

Llegue un día antes de lo esperado. En muy buen estado y totalmente sellado, el producto aquí en México ya no se encuentra en el mercado, al ver que tenían disponible en Amazon no dude en comprarlo, la mejor decisión. El Nintendo 2ds es la mejor opción para jugar los clásicos de Nintendo sin querer gastar mucho dinero (consola más barata), ahora también están los clásicos de pokemon para jugar horas y horas, recomendado! Aprovechen antes de que se terminen y sea más que imposible encontrarlo en México.
