The New Nintendo 2DS Twoscore (branded as New Nintendo 2DS LL ^[a] in Japan) is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo. It is the sixth and final system in the Nintendo 3DS family of handheld consoles, and was released in Australia and New Zealand on 15 June 2017,^[5] in Japan and Republic of korea on 13 July 2017,^[half-dozen] and in North America and Europe on 28 July 2017.^[7]

Serving as a companion to the Nintendo 2DS, the New Nintendo 2DS Forty is based on the hardware of the New Nintendo 3DS, only with no autostereoscopic 3D display, its microphone and camera moved to the hinge, and speakers moved to the lower one-half of the device. As with the New Nintendo 3DS, it has an updated processor, an analog pointing stick and boosted shoulder triggers, and about-field communications (NFC) support for Amiibo.^[8] ^[9]

The New 2DS XL received positive reviews, with critics noting that it combined traits of the 2DS and New Nintendo 3DS Twoscore into a more than ergonomic and aesthetically-pleasing device over the slate-shaped 2DS, only noting slight regressions in display and speaker quality.

History [edit]

Nintendo has presented versions of the console in black with bluish accents for the North American market place, and white with orange-golden accents for the Japanese, South Korean and PAL region marketplace,^[10] ^[11] ^[6] besides every bit a Japan-exclusive Dragon Quest 11 limited edition.^[12] Later, the White + Orange variant came to N America, besides as Lavander + White, Black + Greenish (both Japan-exclusive) besides as Poké Ball and Pikachu variants to coincide with the launch of Pokémon Ultra Dominicus and Ultra Moon (the one-time also coming to that region).

In July 2018, a "Hylian Shield" variant was released equally a GameStop exclusive in Due north America, bundled with a pre-installed copy of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.^[13] This came alongside an Creature Crossing: New Leafage variant for Europe and Japan, and ruddy/blackness Mario Kart 7 and Minecraft Creeper styles exclusive to Nihon.^[14]

A month subsequently, in August, Nintendo announced a new version of the console in purple with argent accents, which would release in September 2018. Additionally, Nintendo confirmed that all hereafter shipments of the Black + Bluish, White + Orange and Regal + Silver models would come up with a pre-installed copy of Mario Kart 7.^[15]

Every bit of 17 September 2020, the New 2DS Twoscore and all other remaining models in the 3DS family have been discontinued by Nintendo.^[16]

Software and services [edit]

The system software of the New Nintendo 2DS Twoscore is otherwise identical to that of the New Nintendo 3DS, remaining compatible with all games released for the 3DS (in two-dimensional mode only), DSi (including games with 3DS enhancements), DS (excluding those requiring the Game Male child Advance cartridge slot), and New Nintendo 3DS (such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Burn Emblem Warriors), and offering online features such as Nintendo Network for multiplayer and online gaming, Nintendo eShop for downloading and purchasing games, and SpotPass and StreetPass.^[7]

Reception [edit]

IGN considered the New 2DS Forty to exist an comeback over the "ugly doorstop-like" 2DS, praising its incorporation of features from the New 3DS XL into a device with a thinner and more than "comfy" form factor. Other changes were noted, such as using flaps to protect the game and SD card slots (the latter too removing the demand to employ tools to access it), and better-feeling shoulder buttons than the New 3DS XL. Regressions were likewise noted, however, such as its screens having a "washed out" appearance and defective contrast, the top screen having a mirror-like glaze that diminished viewing angles, the speakers sounding "deadened", and the short length of the included stylus. The New 2DS XL was recommended for users who did not demand 3D just still wanted to play the platform's sectional titles.^[eight]

TechRadar was similarly positive, but besides noting that the hinge now protruded from the back of the device (thus making it await less streamlined when closed), its bombardment life was "underwhelming", and the timing of its launch was at odds with the release of Nintendo Switch.^[nine]
