Why the 2DS is a good idea

Last week Nintendo told the world that they would be creating a new version of their successful handheld the 3DS by creating a 2D. Now as it has become common these days fan’s of Nintendo and the media alike went on a massive campaign to dismiss this discussion and say that there was no point for Nintendo to do this, this is where I am going to tell you that you are wrong and to spend a bit of time reminding why Nintendo has done this.

The one thing that a lot of people seem to have forgot is that when the 3DS was announced everyone was excised for this new handheld and couldn’t wait to get their hands on the system but when it finally did arrive it had a uphill battle to get where it is today. People complained about the price of the handheld to the lack of games and parents that had bought the handheld had to return it because they believed it was not safe for their kids to play.

Now that the handheld has had a price cut and also has a library of games that people want to play the handheld is doing well and a lot of the problems that the handheld had when it was released have all been resolved in some form or another but the biggest problem that Nintendo still had was how do they get kids under a certain age to play a handheld that is not save for them to play, there solution was to create the 2DS.

Now I know that a lot of people will say that you can turn the 3D off by pulling the 3D sliders down on the handheld but thing about it for a minute, if you have a kid under the age of seven with a 3DS and you tell them that you can only play the handheld if you turn the 3D off do you really think the kid will do that? If you answer is yes then you are mistake, kids love to do things that they are told not to do and by creating the 2DS you solve this problem and allow all those kids to play all those great games that they haven’t been able to play in the last two years.

Yes I do have to admit that I don’t really like the shape or the look of the 2DS because I have become accustom to the way of just closing my 3DS, DS or Game boy Advance when I have finished playing to save battery power and come back to it later when I can carry on or save, but even knowing this I can still see why they gone with this design. The reason they went for this design is so that parents can see what their child is up at all time and if they are going something they can spot it.

It has also become accustom these days to moan about something before you actual see why that have done this or you have had a chance to think about it, yes the news media know that by riding on this wave of negativity they can get the more views than if they try to tell everyone why this is a good idea. So the next time when something is announce think about it for a moment or two and then make your judgement and don’t base your judgement on someone else either.

Until Next Time.
