I like the look of it, but to me it's not worth it to lose the 3D effect. I really enjoy it in games.

as a girl with pretty small hands, the New 2DS XL is the best and most comfortable handheld model Nintendo has ever made, period. light enough to be able to hold it easily with no issue, but built well enough that i never felt in danger of breaking it. screen was the perfect size, and the button/toggle distances were genuinely perfect.

I saw the end coming and couldn't agree more. I was shocked with how comfortable it was. Your number two choice beats it in portability though.

I always preferred the New 2DS xl, and I think I will for the foreseeable future. This is because I never used the 3D effect anyway, so it was cheaper to get this and still get the performance boost of the New systems.

@eliserss

I have little hands so I never shared the obsession everyone had with the regular 2DS. That said, the XLs are really nice in the hands. I love the tactile feeling of the buttons and the stick isn't jammed up near the top of the screen like the originals. Feels super fancy.

I see you are a man of culture, the Nintendo, two DS, while it had a wedge shape was of the best designs I have ever held in my two hands for a handheld game system

The 2D is indeed one of the most comfortable, the first time I hold one it was funny to me how comfortable was

The new models should really get some bonus points, I'm one of the few people who liked the 3d, but on my original 3ds I always got cramps trying to get the exact angle right, with face tracking and a larger screen the new 3ds XL is a must have

I love how much love the og 2ds has been getting, really makes me regret my old broken kyogre model

During intense gameplay, the placement of the power button on the New 3DS XL causes me to hold it down with the side of my pinky and turn the console completely off. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve finally beaten that tough boss, only to have my console turn off before the game gets saved. It actually caused me to give up on Monster Hunter, despite being really into it. I just couldn’t handle losing all my efforts when I was so immersed. Now I play the newer ones on my home consoles. They’re great, and the new streamlining is nice. But I sorta miss the days of tedious gathering and awkward controls. But what I miss most is being able to keep a game that’s all about endless grinding right in my pocket. Ready to go at a moments notice when I’ve got time. My new “handhelds” need their own case if you don’t wanna risk losing $500, devour their four pound batteries in about an hour, and are so huge that calling them portable is basically a joke. They’re portable between the bedroom and the bathroom, so long as your bathroom outlets have a good GFCI.

Interesting enough technically there are 4 versions of the switch the original, the revision of original, the lite, and the oled. And the Gameboy color is just a revision of the original gameboy, meanwhile the SP is just a revision of the gba, and the DS lite, dsi, and dsi xl are revisions of the original DS. Nintendo loves to make small changes to a console in order to sell you another I mean even the Wii had a revised model without GameCube support and a mini version.

my Red 3DS XL broke in February 2022 i had that since 2013 my brother got it for me as a birthday gift. i played all my pokemon games on that thing & took it everywhere with me.. i miss it.

As a 2DS owner, I can confirm that it’s very comfortable to hold

Ohhhh yeahhh it just FITS in your hand SOOO comfortably

The 4th place 3DS was my childhood, I sadly lost that Yoshi 3DS around my house when I was little

Personally I think I'd put the original XL over the new 2DS XL, just cause you have to have a floaty grip on it to hear the speakers (which are directly in the corners where your palms go) and the hinge is even flimsier than the original XL Also sucks that the objectively worst model has by far the comfiest hand feel. Very good thickness and button placement and my hands naturally wrap around the top for those meaty shoulder buttons.

You can get ready to throw sand at me... I rather holding the OG 3DS Ok, you can throw sand at me now

This whole list makes perfect sense, he’s ranking them in descending order

I had a 2DS as my first newer gen system in around 2018, before that was a DSI, I remember the first time I opened up the box and started playing my included copy of mariokart… memories man

I call my 2DS cheese *refuses to elaborate further*

"Coming in at number- four is-" 😂

I've always had a soft spot for the original 3ds. It's what I played for 11 years. It's getting on in years, and its components are showing their ages. I'm learning to repair 3ds's, and I hope to restore mine fully one day. For now, I have a 2ds xl for daily use

Honestly I feel that the 2DS has earned its place as its own breed of console. It’s well made, works surprisingly well, and overall is a great little system. It’s like a callback to the GameBoy says in a sense!

My 2DS still goes immaculate.

I don't wanna play these games but i really want that 2nd one. Looks awesome!

I had the 3DS for my first personal console (i had a wii and wii u but that was for everyone) so i always liked it.

I got the Og 2ds for my 13th birthday and it served me well for a few months 🥲 thinking of getting another one

I'm happy I have both the 1st and 2nd place devices from this list.

I used to get bulled for having a 2DS, little did they know that the comfortability is unmatched

I really like the new 2DS xl it’s amazing to hold

the new ones are obviously better but the og in green blue water color was TOO beautiful, and fits in a jeans pocket perfectly, i still use it as mine main portable console cos there's tons of 3ds games i still haven't played yet and it's just too light and small to not be carried around like everywhere every time i go out

The ideal setup is a 3DS XL for the 3D games, and the OG 2DS for your everyday driver. Such a good lil device. Its the last true Gameboy IMO. Decent emulator device, too.
