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

I've wanted a 3ds/2ds ever since my old one broke a few years back.

Box wasn't shrink-wrapped, but overall product appears new.

Competitiveness


Im so happy this came out as an alternative to the 3ds.

    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
