Regarding the New 2DS XL as a system and its overall product design, I have some things of my own to say as someone who once owned a Pink DS Lite and later the original 2DS:
- I understand where people are coming from regarding how the system’s closing hinge feels, but I feel like I can adapt to it well. There’s a point in opening where there’s slight resistance before the system is “open flat”, but that serves a purpose from the other direction: once the system is open flat, that resistance point keeps it there against gravity or awkward angles, so you won’t deal with a DS slowly sagging shut if you happen to be lying in bed or otherwise laying down. Compared to my old DS Lite, it does have its pros and cons, but I think I prefer it over the hinge from my childhood. My biggest struggle was that I was used to the quickness of the sleep switch on my old 2DS when I needed to briefly look away from the game, and I need to retrain my instincts to use a game’s built-in “pause” instead. Though, considering the much better portability of this “foldable” system compared to my old 2DS, needing to change my habits for this is well worth it.
- I can see why people are complaining about the speakers being largely blocked by their palms when holding the system, but I also think some people may just… grip the system differently than others. With how I grip it, the corners of the console rest more against the center of my palm rather than being surrounded completely. If I accidentally muffle the sound with my hands, it’s rarely and barely.
- The complaints about the size of the built-in stylus are fully justified. This thing is tiny and I would rather use the spare styluses I’ve had since the days of my DS lite. When using it for a touchscreen-navigation-based game like Wind Waker or Spore Creatures DS, my hand ends up so close to the screen I can barely see half of it! Some cases I’ve seen for the system come with an XL stylus about the size of a real-life pen, and I might recommend looking at those instead.
- The bigger screen is amazing. I never knew what I was missing for all these years! Even my old DS games scale up to fill the screen as much as they can while still keeping aspect ratio, and I swear it brings them new life in a way. Playing D-Pad based games from the old DS days with the circle pad also feels amazing, though I have yet to play any games that require the C-Stick exclusive to the New systems.
- Although I still have to get used to the process of opening it and stop feeling like I’m about to damage it, having the SD card and game cartridges lock in BEHIND a closed sort of “flap” is ingenious. There were a few times as a kid or even an adult where I accidentally bumped the edge of the game cartridge that was being used by my DS Lite or 2DS at the time, and lost a fair bit of game progress as it ejected. (I swear I didn’t mean to, Resetti!) With this setup, there’s no chance of that.
- I think my personal complaint with the system is an odd one - while my palm doesn’t cover the speakers much, it DOES tend to cover the lights on the system’s edge, including the power light that turns red to warn you of low battery. I wish that either a) there was a specific light on the upper pane of the system that would turn on and shine red when the battery got low, so you were guaranteed to see it (like my old 2DS), or b) those lights were located at one end of the hinge, like the old DS Lite and similar systems.
I skipped the entire 3DS generation - I'm one of those people who gets sick if I watch a 3D movie for too long, so as the 3D effect was an early driver of the system, I just passed. When the 2DS came out I was interested - the form factor looked nice to play - despite loving the DS Lite I wasn't 100% a fan of the clam shell design, but I also didn't like that it wasn't going to fit into my pockets. Couldn't have it both ways.
When the New 2DS XL was announced, it was the first time in a long time that I wanted a new console on day one. Normally I wait a long while before picking up a new system, waiting for reviews, etc, to see if the platform has a future that excites me. But as we're probably getting closer to the end of the 3DS era, I looked at it from a different perspective, looking back at ecosystem already available.
I've recently begun getting back into portable consoles, and I like having access to as many generations as possible. I'd sold my GBA when I bought the DS Lite back in the day, but I was craving some classic Game Boy action, so I splurged on a custom, backlit modded, GBA so I could play GB/GBC/GBA games from my childhood. I've been steadily collecting and playing though all of the games that I didn't get to as a kid.
What sold me on the New 2DS XL was perfect combination of ecosystem and hardware. I love the look and feel of it. I like that it's thinner than normal 3DSs. I love that I'm not wasting any power on the 3D I'll never use. Most importantly, I love having a single device that bridges the entire ecosystem of portable Nintendo games post Game Boy. DS/DSi/3DS/N3DS - I have access to all of them. There aren't a lot of games that need or are enhanced by the "New" processor, but I like not having to sacrifice that along with the 3D.
I go back and forth on the screen size - sometimes I'm very grateful for the XL, sometimes I wish the system could be a little more pocketable like my GBA. I also don't like that the battery isn't easily replaceable - as I'm planning on having just one system, and playing from a large backcatalog over a long time, I accept that I'm probably going to have to replace the battery a few years from now. In fact, the only thing that stopped me from literally buying the console on day one was my wait for a teardown video to see what replacing the battery would look like. It looks like a little hassle, but easily in my comfort zone.
Ultimately, I've never owned an NES, SNES, or N64 - but I love that I still have access to ports of their best games via my GBA and now my 2DS. I love that I can finally go back and replay some of the DS games I enjoyed, and also try the games I passed the first time around. I'm also really loving the 3DS catalog - I'm buying everything digital because these days I avoid carts if I can - and I find it very hard to not take advantage of the sales and rewards in the eShop to build up my 3DS library.
I'm not sure about the value to people who are already invested in the 3DS ecosystem and already have a console - but for me, the New 2DS XL is perfect.

So far I've played the Hatsune Miku game and Monster Hunter Ultimate 4. Being a PC gamer most of my adult life, I've been really impressed with how this console performs and plays these games. Sure, the graphics aren't AMAZING, but for a portable handheld it's a very relaxing way to play. It's also worth mentioning that since they sacrifice graphics, you get games with stellar gameplay and content. I can already tell I'm gonna get potentially hundreds of hours out of both Monster Hunter and Miku, both have tons of replay value and are just really fun to play (I've never played any other of the games in the series, so I can't compare).
I'd say at this point this console alone for 3DS games has a solid 20+ exclusive titles to play, as well as an enormous DS library available (many of which are exclusive, never been ported, etc). Lots of remakes of DS games are coming out this year and next, some of the best games ever made in the past 10 years easily. Overall I'd highly recommend this console, it's an amazing companion to have as a PC gamer to change it up.
