It looks pretty cool, but It's just too "textural", and I feel like the bumps and such would distract me. Also many of the accessories weren't built for these special edition models.
I'm having a bit of trouble finding it. Bestbuy doesn't have it, walmart no longer carries it, and it keeps saying my gamestop stores can't send it to my address or can't be picked-up. Guess Ill have to spend 250 dollars on amazon for a 159.99 console.😒
Mike Stevenson very possible using cfw! Luma allows for custom splash screens upon boot, and I believe it also supports audio files on boot? I may be wrong though.
Yup, she's one of my other channels that I go to to either learn about tech or make a purchase decision on tech. I just wanted to see what it looks like and I was not disappointed.
Allen Douangchak I never used the 3D, I am stereo blind so I cannot view any of it. It looks completely flat to me. On the 3DS I get a massive headache with it on.
matuzaato I agree. And a lot of people who had bought the original didn't by the revised edition whole only selling points were a bigger screen and better 3D
Of those shown, I enjoy the Hylian Shield most. I only own the default Black and Turquoise, but would love to get the Animal Crossing, Minecraft, or Black and Lime green 2DS XL.
the hylian shield is my favorite, it actually pushed me to buy the 2ds xl (even tho my favorite color is yellow). also i find it interesting that gameplay-wise the 2DS lacks 3D but the design of the actual units utilize 3D features
From 2DS XLs I'd say the Hylian Shield, that front just looks too cool and the blue is quite a nice hue! From the 3DS XLs or even compared to 2DS XLs however, I'll have to say the Majora's Mask edition, because it's just epic and so beautiful! It has to be one of the most gorgeous system units ever released. Or then I'm just biased, since I got it too, only because I wanted a new 3DS XL and the other colours didn't appeal. Also, never owned a Zelda console before, so it was a nice chance. xD Btw, if the paint wears away or the silver back cover bothers you you can find replacement shells. For the back it's pretty simple, you just unscrew it (you'd need to do it anyway should you remove the battery or micro SD card). My Majora's Mask's back cover has somewhat done it and I'm considering of getting a replacement shell...
I have the New 2DS XL Pikachu edition and I love it! Only downside is the placement of the speakers, which makes the sound go to the back instead of my ears. But it's beautiful!
Ahh what a beautiful device! Would love to pick this up, the 2DS XL is the only one of the entire Nintendo handheld line I don't own yet but I do love the 3D feature on the 3DS as well ❤️
I like the 3D but very few games actually use it, which is disappointing. I really like the way this system looks. Getting it for sure. I knew it! I thought I recognized your name, and then I saw some of your other videos and I found out why, my sister watches you all the time.
I am sooooo glad you told me that was stupid silver paint on the case, not plastic. That was a serious NO-NO on Nintendo's part. I want this anyway though. I also just found a dark blue hard anti-scratch shell plastic case for the bottom!! Thank you for your review!
In terms of collecting, what do you feel is more worth it, the Switch or the 2ds XL. In really into collecting limited edition DS's, but I want the Switch purely for Mario Kart and the inevitable Pokemon release. What's everyone's opinions on it?
Oh my God... It's so beautiful. I already have a regular blue New 2DS, but if I saw it on a store I'd buy it on the spot. It is a shame it's USA exclusive... I hope that some day they bring it to Mexico. The other editions you own are gorgeous too!
So annoyed this won’t be coming out in the UK. I wish Nintendo would let everyone have the chance to pick this up. It looks great and hope you enjoy owning it. Nice vid Erica!
I dropped my old 3DS for this 2DS. Love the design, especially love the ergonomics super comfortable. Plus it is a Zelda machine! Zelda NES, Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening DX, Oracle of Ages and Seasons, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, A Link Between Worlds... I think I got them all... My favorite series on a nice comfortable handheld that was made in honor of it. Perfect. Wish I could do one of those chef's kisses in text form... Mwah!
I have the Hylian Shield 2DS XL and I’ve noticed it scratches very easily. Even one scratch on the first night! It now has multiple, I’ve given up on getting upset about it...there’s a few deeper ones too but I didn’t realize the silver is painted on, so it makes sense to have lots of scratches even though I was careful with it
What kind of screens does it use? Did you find any dust under the screen? I was hoping for more info as you have been super informative about others in the past in terms of running across many issues with these devices. Please respond and have a wonderful weekend!
I am waiting for the Animal Crosssing one, it looks soo nice! And it comes pre installed with Animal Crossing New Leaf which is a game I really want to play!
Great review, thanks for posting this! I'm so jealous of your collection :D I'm curious about the hinge of the top screen, did it feel tighter than the original New 2DS XL? I heard a satisfying *click* when you opened it, but does it wobble a little bit like the original does?
I think people say they don't like the 3d because they still remember the 3d from release. I didn't like it when I got my 3ds day 1, but I did upgrade to the New 3DS down the road. A lot better
Are you planning on picking up the Animal Crossing edition 2dsxl that’s coming out soon? I’m not 100% sure if it IS coming out in America, but if it does I’d love to see you review it!
I really really want to buy that but id honestly rather have the physical version of ALBW since ive never been a fan of digital copies but that design is just so perfect 😭😭
I have the pokeball edition and i like it. This Hyrule shield edition looks awesome, i would buy it for collection. Fast question: On What console do you use to play?
I'm a huge fan of the 3D, is a shame ninty had shy'd away from it. New 2DS is a great aesthetically pleasing device, yet I'm astounded no tiny feet were added to the bottom to protect it from scratching........ 4 little tiny feet wound solve that issue and done right, doesn't take away from the look of feel of the device?
Man, so cool that it comes with a wall adapter. I remeber when the new 3ds xl came out it didnt come with a charger. Also anyone still play pokemon? I like it, i still think ohko moves are cool though
I saw a comment some where about you being the mad scientist.....Lol I cal shenanigans I am the Mad Scientist the one and only XDA moderator....Lol Nice videos I find them actually quite informing
Wow How envy you I want one of them and you have all of them. How do you do to get them? love your video I wish can buy the Hylian shield edition cause I got the same but in 3ds and was stolen from my backpack. Which you prefferd?
DJ DON1 I too only have the black new 3DS XL cause that's all I can afford. It's cool to be a Nintendo handheld collector, but getting basically the same system just in different colors and different designs is a bit much and extremely costly.
Between Link Between Worlds and Ocarina of Time 3D, I think it was safer to include the former. Because while the 3D in Link Between Worlds is implied and we know it adds to the game quite a bit, the average consumer probably doesn't. Whereas if they were to include Ocarina of Time 3D, I feel like that would just be super confusing.
As nice as this is... it really should have been a more premium unit, 3DS XL. Makes little sense to me but oh well, i might grab one if i can ever find it for less than $400 on Ebay...
Was gonna be off topic and ask on the condition of your Nintendo Switch. Seen reports this week of them cracking and splitting but mine still looks in good shape. Most famous was Philip on Nintendo Voice chat, his split open and talked about it the other day 👀
Erica Griffin se pwople say it's because of heat expansion and contraction of the plastic, so i suggest ypu keep an eye on the temperature of your Switch especially when it's docked, also maneuver it with care!!!! Also i think the warranty covers it if it's still in effect!!!! 😍😍😍😍😉
GamerWithaVoice 15 Yep, I got it too and it's my main 3DS/2DS now, love the design, big screens, and it's surprisingly small weight, it's lighter than my New 3DS, the small one!
I am a 2ds fan I have gba ds 2ds and now im wanting this beast hope its still around in aug great vidieo now youre up to a million and one 3ds lol and that's a great game to include cause I don't have it
