apsham Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 I always had some kinda on and off issues with the Joycon early on - but I play rather close to my Switch these days and it kind of stopped it - as does unsyncing and resyncing whenever it happens from time to time.

Bobfoc Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 There's going to be a Nintendo Direct this Wednesday at 11.00pm UK time. It's centred around Switch and 3DS games coming in the next few months, probably including Super Mario Odyssey, the new Kirby 3DS game and, hopefully, a few surprises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colly Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Can anyone help me out with what on earth I'm looking at with a DS? I'm considering getting one for my 6 year old for Christmas, but I'm bewildered by the "New" ones. I can get a 2DS for about £75 which seems reasonable, while a New 2DS XL is a chunk more than that, but states it allows you to play New 3DS games. Is that a thing, are New 3DS games a different format? I feel like my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNES downloadable games also only work on that system. Other games have speed/performance improvements on the New 2DS XL and the system also has a couple more buttons and a little nub that acts as a right stick.

Colly Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Presumably with the Switch being the next big thing they probably won't be making that many games that only work with the New then? Not that I'm that bothered, me and obsolete systems isn't a new thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it doesn't play on the "new" 3DS games, it does play the vast majority of the regular ones. I think it was the right choice, considering she is still young and not super up to date on what new games are out anyway. I monitor that so I can veer her to older games, that cost like $10 a pop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skummy Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 If it's just for your kid, absolutely no reason not to go with the standard 2DS. Chunky piece of kit, decent library of games, and not (in my opinion) missing anything through the lack of 3D, and you'll be in control of what games they get for it, so the small number of games that won't work on it end up being a bit of a non-issue, surely?

It all depends on how careful they would be, if they are a rough and tumble type I would go with the 3DS, the clamshell will be more protection for the screens, if they are more careful there is nothing wrong with a 2DS. Also don't quote me but you may need to also get a charger, I think only the New 2DS comes with a charger in the box, not a big deal though its around £7. The main difference between 3DS/2DS and the New 3DS/2DS is simply a better processor, for the most part it makes regular games a little faster, there are some exclusive titles but none that you should worry about, the only downside is you don't have the option for SNES games from the virtual console although there isnt that big a list of them anyway, you still get the full GB/GBC library though.
