the Nintendo switches a home console and a handheld then there's the Nintendo 3ds a handheld system that's evolved into several forms since 2011 the latest is the new 2d s XL $150 3d free to screen version that's coming to summer why while Nintendo frequently updates its handheld hardware the 2d s XL could be the new go to version with a more comfortable feel and slightly smaller frame a bit of a lower price and big crisp displays fYI it has the second mini analog stick and extra rear buttons that the new 3ds XL has and you can also play Super Nintendo Virtual Console games this isn't the cheapest 3ds the $80 smaller flatter 2d S is nearly half the price but the two DS XL feels like a solid new stand in for the older 3ds systems and it's a likely long-term replacement for the new 3ds XL after playing some of the latest 2d s XL games like V topia hey Pikmin and ever oasis it's clear that it isn't a switch but that's also the point it's still a durable little handheld that plays a lot of fun games the future definitely lies with the switch but the 3ds is going to hang around for a while even if it's called the 2d s if you like playing old DS 3ds or retro games that's probably a good thing you
