Once burned; Twice Shy (but my, oh my!)
These things are so difficult to find!!! I was previously burned by a reputable EBAY seller not long ago as I hunted this bundle down online and in stores. So, I was skeptical of how this used bundle from an Amazon seller would turn out and, much to my relief, it did NOT disappoint! The bundle came very well packaged, clean, and organized WITH the charger, game (as advertised, bit on a cartridge and not a digital installation), AND a 4GB SD card thrown in! The factory reset had already been done, so you get to experience the system like it was fresh out of the box. The only "defects" were a very small scratch and ding on the upper right hand corner of the system, but all of the buttons worked great and the whole system just feels nearly new! I WILL add that upon the initial set up of the system the buttons don't do anything, but that is because it's just a part of the system set up. Once you get everything set up via the touch screen pad, it all starts working so don't freak out like I almost did. I cannot thank this seller enough for making my son's birthday so so special. Please know that your care and consideration does impact my kid in a hugely positive way, so thank you so much!

Is the 3D quality of a 3DS worth an additional 50-30 dollars?
I got this 2DS about three months ago and everything is in shape. ---- In comparison to the DSi ---- -The battery charger is identical to the one I got with my DSi - All games and DSiWare can be used and transferred to the 2DS, but the data will be deleted and the transfer cannot be undone - What the DSi has that the 2DS doesn't is Flipnotes Hatena, which is a application that allows user to make, well, flipnotes. A application that I've found to replace it is Inchworms Animation, which is $5 and is sold at the DSiWare, which can be accessed through the 2DS - There IS a free game that comes with the 2DS, which is Face Raiders. I was pleasantly surprised at how fun it is. - A feature that is also gone is the convenient screen brightness levels. Unlike the DSi, whose screen brightness can be changed by holding the power button and push up/down on the volume, you need to go to the home screen and click to the top right for options. Doing so won't close a 3DS/2DS game, but it will for a DS game - Obviously, you can't fold the 2DS. This means more dust on the screen. Get a screen protector! - A major problem with the DSi was the L and R buttons, which broke because of dust buildup ( blowing into it will momentarily fix the problem, but will end up ruining the device eventually from the moisture that comes when you blow). The 2DS' L and R buttons seem sturdier. - Folders can be created on the home screen, no big deal - The Circle-Pad is comfortable and easy to use. The arrow buttons, not so much, but it's still possible to use. You can use the Circle-Pad as a replacement for them for DS games. - BIGGER TOP SCREEN: awesome. It won't stretch normal DS games, which I found surprising since there is a DSiXL. Is there an option for this? - The stylus is different, not as thin and easier to grip - !!Awesomer store!! There are free demos and full-on games a-plenty at the eShop, with tons of older games like Super Mario Bros, or galaga. I'm a bit disappointed that EarthBound isn't for sale though. - I've also gotten Kid Icarous: Of Myths and Monsters free from Nintendo Club (the 2DS is 100 coins, older games like Mario 3D Land is 10, and newer ones 20-40. You need 150-200 coins to get a 100% free game), which anyone can get after signing up, filling out a survey per game, and getting a code which you use through the eShop on your 2DS/3DS to get the specific game. -SteatPass: A fun little feature, and nothing more. Basically, bring this on a car drive or whatever and later see if you've met any other miis ---- comparison to the 3DS ---- I don't have a 3DS, but I have tried them every now and then. The grip around the 2DS is overall easier because there is more room for your palm. Also, it can be difficult to play without the 3D at times. Mario 3D Land, for an example. A 3D effect that the 3DS offers helps see the distance from one block to another. I've still managed to get along just fine, however.If you can get all the stars in Mario 64, Mario 3D Land is quite the piece of cake. Lastly, I believe turning on the 3D on a 3DS takes up more batteries, while I'm not certain. If you're anything like me, than you hate 3D in anything. Sure, it's fun initially, but tiresome after a while. So buying a 3DS worth the additional 50-30 bucks? In my opinion, nope.

Great price and quality!
This is a great product! I was looking to upgrade from my DS Lite, which has lasted me 6 years and still works perfectly fine, and my GBA, which has lasted 14 years. I had looked at getting a PSP, but decided to go for a Nintendo handheld device, as I have had good experiences with them and the games for them. So I started looking at a 3DS, and stumbled across the 2DS. At first, I thought it was weird, but after looking at some reviews, I was super excited to get one. Here are my reasons for getting this instead of a 3DS -Price- for a new system, that does everything a 3DS does but the 3D feature, it was a great bargain! I missed the $80 deal, but still got a new one for around $100. -Design- Though it does look a little silly, the design feels great in my hands, as other customers had said in the reviews I read. My hands would cramp on my other systems, but I do not have much of a problem holding this one for a long time. Also, it is very durable, and it doesn't have the hinges that occasionally snap on it's cousin devices. I did buy a few screen protectors. So if you are looking to buy a 3DS, I would recommend looking into a 2DS. I am very satisfied with mine.

Doesn’t work
Product didn’t work, thought it might just be the charger so I bought a new one. Still doesn’t work

Overall decent but buy your own charger
It works although it glitches sometimes. The charger it comes with doesn’t work, I luckily had another one. The device indicated that it was charging with the charger it came with but wouldn’t actually charge. Had to use a different charger for it to actually hold any power. Not bad for the price but beware the charging issue. I was worried at first that they had sent me a dud.

The 2DS is a great less expensive alternative to the full 3DS, and is a little more solidly built, IMHO. Works great, and plays almost all 3DS games.

It was either the Nintendo 2DS or the PS4 and I must say I do not regret getting this little game console ! Already got a few games (which are very affordable compared to all other consoles) and I am quite impressed with the quality, both of game play and graphics. The only down side to this is the fact that the device is in no way ergonomic : prepare for cramps in the hands ! I wish they would make an ergonomic casing for it, but I found nothing so far..

came quickly and in good condition, works without issue!

La compre para mi hija de 4 años, y la maneja muy bien, igual que mi otro hijo de 11 y yo de adulta, se acomoda . Lee cartuchos de DS y 3DS, sin el efecto 3D.

buena compra, el juego viene tal y como se espera, sellado, con accesorios, se ve muy bien el color, hay que acostumbrarse un poco a su forma pero se adapata bien uno y es comodo... yo lo compre en 1,800 se me hizo buen precio... recomendado.
