Nintendo 2DS

Nintendo 2DS is an upcoming handheld announced on August 28th, 2013. It is scheduled to be released in North America and Europe on October 12th, 2013. There are currently no plans for it to be released in Japan. It is a redesign of the Nintendo 3DS.

Design
The Nintendo 2DS is a redesign of the Nintendo 3DS, which uses mostly the same software, but differs in physical design. It features a more solid, tablet-like design as opposed to the Nintendo 3DS' clam shell-like design. So it cannot fold up like a Nintendo 3DS, and as such it cannot be paused by folding it up. Instead, it has a Sleep switch in the bottom right hand corner. It has one speaker on the top left, as opposed to the two speakers that the Nintendo 3S has.

The Nintendo 2DS does not have the ability to display games in 3D, hence the name 2DS. However it features two cameras and allows people to take 3D pictures and videos however it cannot play or show them in 3D, while those pictures when sent to a 3DS can be shown in 3D.
