    Am I the only one who thought this was neat when I first heard about it? It's not supposed to fit in your pocket; it's supposed to fit in your mom's purse. I'm considering getting one.

    I think it'll be a good size, just smaller than the normal 3DS when open. I don't carry mine in my pocket anyway, it sags my pants.

    I'm legitimately interested in the device, considering I bought a 3DS game with no console and had to borrow one from a friend of my girlfriend's, who has since taken it back. So now I have a game and no way to play it. The 3D aspect was interesting, but not a console-selling gimmick to me. This would suit me fine if it stands up technically. If the screens are bright enough and the battery lasts as long, and they come up with a way to give it a Circle Pad Pro, I'll probably buy into it

    Also I don't really think it's lack of 2D makes it an inferior console. It's just that technically speaking, it's still a step down from 3D. But not any worse than Samsung or Sony still making 2D television sets when they have dabbled in 3D screens. Its really pointless to try to argue that it makes them worthless by comparison. But it's still obviously less technical equipment none-the-less

    Looking at those pictures, it's clearly designed with young children in mind. Considering the 3DS carries a 7+ age rating in the UK due to the 3D features this is obvious to appeal at restoring parent's faith in Nintendo handhelds.

    Personally would have simply done a software patch that disables the 3D options on the 3DS.

    Yeah, understanding it makes a difference, doesn't it? Ah, the importance of context.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    TBH the design seems to make sense depending on the ergonomics of the rear of the console. The bulk of most games on 3DS are played on the top screen with the touch screen being used mostly for menus or inspection. The shoulder buttons and controls are around the top screen where most of your attention will be focused.

    I feel like they just whipped this up to prevent some sort of possible future lawsuit.
