Purple + Silver New 2DS XL Mario Kart 7 bundle releasing September 28th
- Thread starter ggx2ac
- Start date
If you still find a 2DS with that NSMB2 + DLC bundle, you can make or attach an account and then transfer it to another system. But Mario Kart 7 is their most consistent seller (other than Pokemon) so it looks like they wanted to double down on it.
Also SNES games are perfect on New 2DS XL. They're not re-fitted like the GBA games were, they're a perfect match for the screen. Looks amazing.
I thought you literally meant the upcoming release. And see, it already led to confusion!
Purple/yellow is kind of an ugly combination, hence being wario's colors in the first place
I can I love the new 2DS XL and even tried out the New 3DS XL for a day, hated how heavy and less ergonomic it was and returned it. This model of 2DS is about as perfect a portable as you can get considering Vita is dead.
The New 2DS XL is much more comfortable and lighter than the N3DSXL. And you don't have to take whip out your screwdriver to change the memory card for whatever reason.
The one thing N3DSXL does better is the speaker position. If you don't use headphones, having speakers in the bottom part of the New 2DS XL is not the best possible solution for audio quality but it's not terrible either.
Well I am tempted, let see if we in Europe gets a bundle and if I think it is worth it. I mean for the price of a Switch I could buy a New 2DS XL and at least 7 nintendo select games....
I cant imagine giving up faceplates and 3D just for a new color.
The 3D was quite good in samus returns.

Yes it is quite a lot of gaiming for the money, however unsure if I want 7 games from the Nintendo Select line. Mostly into 2D platformers.
How is the D-pad position compared to DS lite? Does it feel as natural?
I don't know all the Nintendo Selects titles you have available, but the main attraction in Super Mario Maker is the challenge mode which is basically a full game's worth of Mario platforming greatness with some offbeat twists. Add some Virtual Console games and you have a lot of 2D to play.
For the D-pad position I have to give the edge to the DS line and OG 2DS. You just can't beat a D-pad in top position like on DS or as close to the top screen as on OG 2DS. But the feel of the D-pad is great, feels snappier than the DS Lite D-pad imo.
I don't own a 2DSXL but the D-Pad on 3DS/XL/N3DS/XL is a clicky one and isn't as flexible as the one on DS Lite. Its placement isn't as good as on DS Lite either.
What games do you intend to play on 3DS ? I think I pretty much always went with the circle pad till now.
Thanks for the feedback.
Main attraction for me is 2D mario so super mario maker, nsmb2 and Super Mario World. After that Top down Zelda.
On the maybe list: captain toad, Luigi's mansion, MK7.
After that any good 2D platformer that you can recommend.
Unsure if 3D land is a game for me, I didn't enjoy most of 3D marios I have tested as much as I enjoy a 2D mario. Grow up on the NES marios and really never left.
I can at least confirm that MK7, 3D Land and Luigi's Mansion 2 are all great games. Especially in 3D ! :P
The Kirby games are supposedly great too (I only tried the first one and yup, I'll get it later this year).
Zelda ALBW is a must buy btw !
Well the 3D will not be possible, at least not with a New 2ds xl. The new 3ds xl is quite expensive here so not really interested and I really don't want to buy a used handheld. Every used system I see tend to have scratches all over...
