Is the New Nintendo 2DS XL Dope or Nope?

2017-08-03
what's going on guys it's your average consumer and today we're going to be taking a look at a new 2d s XL and seeing if it's dope or no now obviously the first thing we're going to want to do is jump right into the box see what we get inside of it so let's see first of all I want to note that this color looks dope it's blow leaning on the field side so Booya whatever oh oh okay so we've got a charge at this time and the 3dsxl x' that we've been unboxing our you know this you don't get these anymore and you got to buy them separate but it's included in the packaging here aside from that we've got the console itself and some paperwork that would you know this is pretty much it in terms of an unboxing yeah blue but it looks good though I like it oh I like what they did with the fine it so over here in the very front of the top screen it kind of reminds me of an iphone to be honest with the bezels on both sides it's all pretty much the display where as before with the 3dsxl you kind of had the speaker's on the side so kind of curious where they put them now but this is the 2d SXL it's very different from the 2d s that was released a while back I'm not sure but I never even picked limited CBS's up because the styles are just wasn't for me it's all one body but the 2d s XL now being in this flippable form factor similar to all of the other ds's this one falls in line with what I feel would be portable enough for me and kind of my form factor the only thing that I notice is really different here is the placement of the canvas so now you've got a camera right down in the middle of the hinge and you've also got it you also got the other two right here in the back of the actual bottom so if you're laying this down you're kind of covering the cameras not that I've ever used those cameras to be honest but just some of the changes that you kind of see here now what I like here is the fact that you're not really sacrificed too much if you go for the to be XXL you get a different form factor of course from the 3dsxl all thing I'm really missing is 3d now you still get all the other features like a sea stick you got your NFC so you have an Evo support and it still has that new processor so it's running just as fast everybody fxl but I want to see how this thing actually feels to play in the hand it looks it seems comfortable when you just hold it but let's give it a run and see how it actually feels to use it all right so I'm not to boot this thing up but one thing I'm noticing already just from handling it for a few minutes this thing is getting a ton of fingerprints already so prepare to have fingerprints all over this look like it's gonna be a fingerprint magnet all right so I'm setting this thing up I'm actually using the touchscreen a bunch so like plot the stylist oh gosh this thing is tiny this is the smallest olive I've ever seen Wow why there's like an Ikea pencil really short oh I can't even get a good grip on it all right so I was trying to actually pop in the game sense this works just like the 3dsxl it has access to all their games so I can use the entire library even stuff from the Nintendo DSi want to do that I have that option but let's throw some good old Pokemon why not I don't know I'm not too crazy about this design this slot is super thin so it just makes grabbing it a pain maybe this thing had a bigger slot where you house the Noda games and the memory cards I'd have an okay time with it but this is a little weak it's actually a little disappointing it's not too bad where I can't hear what's going on though but for max volume like even at the like halfway I don't hear anything yeah halfway is a whisper pink and lower than that and you're not hearing a thing so I'm not crazy about these pieces at all okay so you know the game looks good the only real difference that I'm feeling here is that the edges are a bit sharper so on this mute 3dsxl they've got really round edges on the side so you don't even really notice that you're holding it but on this one you take note that you're holding it because of these sharp edges and noticing alright guys so the sound thing was bothering me a bit I just want to kind of confirm just how different the sound quality is between the two of these especially with that placement so just to make sure I'm not just talking crap I'm going to figure this out right now I bet you hear just one song that's the 3dsxl if I mute this thing you can faintly hear this guy the two DSX out yeah that is a big difference I think moving the speaker's was a bit of a mistake so sounds a big deal to you that's something that you might want to note take note of naive about commented on the sides being a bit sharp this still feels pretty normal to using the hand button layout is the same so everything feels pretty normal the c-stick feels good so in terms of being able to actually just play your games that you're used to that's not going to be an issue whatsoever this has a very familiar feel in the hand it's just a matter of and kind of getting used to those sides alright guys so it's time to decide whether this thing is dope or no now there are a few things about it is I kind of just make me scratch my head just kind of like this stylus over here the fact that it's so short I'm not really sure why they did that even the 3ds has a longer stylus so that's something that's a little bit weird the speaker placement is also a bit off to me the fact that it's so much lower than the 3ds XL kind of to fix me feel like you're losing out a bit on this one but that's all in comparison to previous models and something else I'm honestly not so crazy about is the fact that you have this flap now in order to get to your games and your memory cards and honestly it doesn't have a big enough slot so that it's just easy to pull down and pull open I think that this is unnecessary to be honest especially if you're trying to change games really quickly you can't do that here you got to pull this thing out take it out put it back in it's just cumbersome but it does keep your game and your memory card nice and protected but if you're going into the DS line for the first time I definitely think that this is dope you get all the power of the 3dsxl the new 3ds XL but without the beauty features so you don't ever have to worry about using the feature if you don't want to and you say 50 bucks so it's a better price point to enter the DS line and you still get a nice big screen which I would still recommend over the regular 3d screen I like having a big screen because you can just see your content a bit better now if the sound of something that's going to bother you you can always use headphones but let's make this clear if you have a 3d XXL already I don't think that it's worth picking up one of these unless you're just really in it for the design I think this looks really good but in terms of like the overall what you get from it I don't think you need to go and pick this up if you already have one of those but that's about it for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guard girl that give this video a thumbs up I'll catch you guys in the next one so that is your average consumer face
