The 2DS makes a high quality and robust. The 2DS is after my feel much better in the hand as the 3DS. I found when testing the 3DS buttons far too deep and the position of the hands uncomfortable for a long time, this is better for the 2DS. This makes the these keys has above and you have one this better under control, the position of the hands affected period much more relaxed now holds pretty middle with your hands on your handheld. I must say that I do not have big hands, I can imagine that the 3DS for larger hands is even more uncomfortable in the long run, but everyone needs to try for themselves.
The 2DS has my feeling towards the 3DS also a somewhat clearer picture in 2D mode as the 3DS, this was something I noticed immediately. On the Internet there are also comparisons where you can better look. Under no circumstances will I speak the 3DS bad, just who is more emphasis on games in the classic 2D format is better off with a 2DS. What might also mention that is in a black device the image is highlighted as better than in devices that are colored or white, the eye perceives the image to contrast true better. This is because the eye has a clear separation between picture and border. Try it yourself once, you will be surprised when you have 2 devices are you, this is true not only for the DS but general such as smartphones, TVs, etc.
The touch screen works the same in both the 2DS, as well as the 3DS, here I could not tell the difference. If you have to operate this press a little stronger and not enough where only briefly touching like a smartphone touchscreen. But you use the pen, which I recommend personally then you need almost no pressure. In addition, the pen to my mind is very handy. The stylus is located in the 2DS so you have it with you at all and need only pull this out of the bay. He sits there very firmly in it and does not fall out.
The menu navigation as well as the start of a game is fast and fluid. The user interface of the 2DS and 3DS looks very tidy and can be adjusted at will like apps on your smartphone.
You can adjust the brightness of the menu in various stages, so that is when you play at night not dazzled. It also features a wireless receiver, which has a very stable and good connection. This can be on or off as you need them. The volume can be regulated classic links at the side of a slide. The sound is perfectly adequate and sounds good, but I personally hear about a headset from Turtle Beach, what more like it. The sound seems clear and you dive deeper into the game. You can plug in any headphones or headset with 3.5mm jack, which is also known from smartphones, PC or plants. The connector is at the bottom left perfectly and the cable therefore does not interfere with play.
Battery life ranges about 4-5 hours, depending on usage, game, brightness, volume and eg functions such as WLAN. If the battery is weak then light up a red light, from here you have to the DS starts about 30 to 60 minutes, where previously when the battery level is very critical flashing 2 red lights. By then you should connect the power cord because then only a maximum of 30 minutes in there. The positive thing is that this power cord is long enough to play yet comfortable near a power outlet. What a pity that the battery is firmly installed, Nintendo has made here in my opinion a step back. One would want users to have a free choice between a replaceable battery or batteries here.
What I can recommend here is a Power Bank in connection with an adapter of USB to the Nintendo cable, so you have enough energy on the go. A standard Micro USB would have made things much easier and could have even if you forget the charger load times with Micro USB. This cable has almost everyone by smartphones etc.
One disadvantage compared to a 3DS is of course that you can not fold the 2DS, which makes it a little awkward to take him, and it is not a problem for me since I only play at home or take him in a bag. So great that now is not, in a jacket you can carry it with you.
In the game it is going through the stick a lot more fun as on the directional pad, the operation thus becomes easier and it is more pleasant to the fingers, especially if you play a longer madness Plus. The stick also offers more options in some games such as creep and precise control. The buttons A, B, X and Y are, however, rather small both in 2DS and the 3DS and could be larger for my taste, especially since more would be enough space.
I am absolutely satisfied with the 2DS, it awakens old GameBoy times and really makes a lot of fun.
I hope you liked the review and maybe you could help with a decision
