We just got our hands on Nintendo's new handheld gaming console - the 2DS. The Nintendo 2DS flocks away from Nintendo's foldable DS design language, and while I personally like half of the story, some people won't. While it looks like a toy for the most part, as compared to the shiny finish of Sony's handhelds & Nintendo's previous models, it still feels good and ergonomic to hold. We're not a fan of Nintendo's 3D features anyway, so we guess the much affordable 2DS can fit our needs. For a price of around Php6k, the Nintendo 2DS is worth looking at - not just for children but also for adult enthusiasts who wish to play games such as Pokemon too. We have yet to immerse ourselves in Nintendo's gaming ecosystem once again so we can't really conclude much for the experience, but know this for now - from what we heard & from what we saw, this device was able to capture our attention despite the tough competition offered by Sony, Apple's iPads & different Android tablets. Nintendo seems to have a great game collection & a good price point in set, and it's all going to be working in their own favor.
