Out of nowhere, Nintendo has announced another 3DS hardware revision: the New 2DS XL. As the name suggests, this takes features from the New 3DS, like the C-stick, Amiibo-compatible NFC reader, and extra processing power, while removing the display’s 3D functionality. But the design is nothing like the wedge-shaped original 2DS — it’s a traditional DS-style clamshell. And, while the screens are the same size found in the 3DS XL, the 2DS XL appears to be smaller and sleeker. New Features(from nintendo.com) : A new look and ergonomic design Colorful accents add style, while the sleek clamshell design makes it comfortable to hold. More controls The C Stick brings enhanced controls(like intuitive camera control) to compatible games, while ZL and ZR buttons give you plenty of options. Lightweight, yet powerful A fast processor offers short loading times, so you can start playing in a snap. And it's all in a lightweight, play-anywhere package.
