I bought the 2Ds for the following reasons: - Pokemon Alpha Saphir (a must-have for any Nintendo DS owner) Monster Hunter Ultimate 4 (A must for every fan MH and the culmination of the series) Both games are running fine on the 2Ds so there is no reason to buy the 3DS, the value for money is excellent at 2Ds and very fair. I personally do not miss the 3D effect. In my opinion this is worthwhile only when new 3DsXL because he was there very well improved and comes to advantage on the large screen. Another plus for this 2Ds is, you may not believe the transparent plastic surface because of her no skin debris, scales, welding etc stuck and also fit Externally also good to the console (of course is not visualisations with quality materials acts but trozdem not billg). All in all, worth buying at this price: D
