What should I buy??

Hi gamers, I'm off on holiday in a few weeks and it looks like I'll loose my ipad to my 2 year old daughter, while she watches her films and the misses will be on her ipad it leaves me with nothing to do for a few hours. I've decided I'd quite like a 3ds to pass the time.

I have my X1 at home and am a gamer so a 3ds would get some use after the holiday although maybe not much, who knows!

Thing is I can't see 3d so it's a bit wasted but from what I've read most people play with the 3d off and looking at the games the graphics look pretty dam good. There seems to be a lot more games for the 3ds than the vita plus I grew up on Nintendo any ways.

So my question is what do I get, a 2ds or 3ds

The 2ds is cheaper and I don't need the 3d but the xl has a bigger screen.

Opinions???

Definitely get the XL. You can turn the 3D off anyway. I just think for portability its better.

You'd think that, but you would be very much mistaken.
But as addyb says, go the XL route, your eyes will thank you for it.

Owned a 3DS XL, then a 2DS and now back to the 3DS XL
I found the 2DS more comfortable to hold but really missed the bigger screen so sold it and went back to the XL (with a grip)

I'm sure it would get loads of use when you return as there are a stack of quality games for it. Mine gets as much use as my other consoles

Just got back from asda and I definitely agree that the 2ds is more comfortable

I'm in the same boat me and my daugther want one between us, she's 5 so the 2ds would be better and I can't see 3d but I feel the bigger screen would be best, what does everyone reckon as 2ds with game in Smyth's is 99.99 at the mo

I also saw that deal and it's very tempting, I'm so confused as to what to get lol

You guys that's have an xl, do you notice any pixelation at all and how comfy is it to hold??

RottenFox Publish time 27-11-2019 03:11:11

No pixelation TBH,and it's quite comfy

Quite why anyone would want a 2DS with the really small screens again.
The difference between the 2DS and XL screens is quite a bit, when you look at it.

Thanks for the info pal, if I go xl I'd have to have the white one as it looks lovely.

I've held a 2ds and it's lovely to hold, I had a hold of the xl too but not naked as it was bolted to a security plate. I may have to pop into game in the morning and take a more detailed look I think.
