Pros & Cons
Pros
After a couple of times using it; you become fairly accustomed to holding it and scrolling with it. Securely packaged too. Performs exactly as expected.
The hinges of the screen is a bit more fragile than my older 3ds, but we do not have any problems with the console. If you don't mind not having 3d mode, then it's just as good as the 3 ds, except slightly slimmer. Im so happy this came out as an alte... Read More
Great product, feels a little cheap though. Still a good price for a hand held device.
The 2ds xl is a great entry level gaming platform for the younger generation. The battery life is decent and its durable and easy to travel with. Lives up to nintendo's reputation for hardware durability. This definitely is nostalgic for me because i ... Read More
Nintendo's handheld console is colourful and different from other handheld platforms. The screen resolution is sharp, crisp and colourful. The touchscreen excels as a tool supplementing gameplay in different ways.

I've wanted a 3ds/2ds ever since my old one broke a few years back.
Price
My kids love it and it came at a good price!
Got it on sale which was a bonus :)
Still a good price for a hand held device.
So with it being able to play 3ds games saves you an extra $40 to $50 from the price of a brand new 3ds xl.

Box wasn't shrink-wrapped, but overall product appears new.
Competitiveness
Im so happy this came out as an alternative to the 3ds.
There really isn't a fair comparison on smartphones for the games available on a real handheld.
The colour of the unit and the different skin's you can have is almost similar to when apple launched the different colour moni... Read More
This one had the same clamshell design as the other xl models at half the cost.

The sky is the limit on whom you want to introduce this platform but i would say 3 12 to 4 is a ripe age to introduce this gaming platform

When you think about how often games are being played in 3d is minimal in my opinion
