The editors liked
The New Nintendo 2DS XL is basically a 3DS XL
Minus the 3D
With a slightly improved design. It gives you access to a huge library of great games
Including past DS
NES and SNES classics
The editors didn't like
The tiny stylus is very awkward to use. There's little new here for anyone who already has a 3DS in their bag

Abstract: If you don't care about 3D anymore—and even Nintendo's interest in it seems to be fading—then the New Nintendo 2DS XL is the absolute best model in Nintendo's line of portable gaming hardware. It's a shame the company makes adding new devices such a burde...

Sleek, compact design, Fantastic game library, Fairly affordable, More user-friendly than New 3DS XL
Software feels clunky and dated, Bulky hinge
My biggest gripe with the New Nintendo 2DS XL is that it simply feels dated compared to the Nintendo Switch. But not everyone can afford (let alone find) Nintendo's new $300 console, and for half the price, the 2DS XL serves as a worthwhile alternative fo...

Abstract: The Nintendo Switch exists, and is a fantastic gaming system that you can, in a pinch, play in a bar, a car, or on the train. Phones exist too, and the games on them are better than ever. So why the hell should you own anything else? Because games. The Sw...
Abstract: The New Nintendo 3DS XL system is a streamlined, affordable package-and play console with a huge library of games in 2D. Colorful accents add style, while the sleek clamshell design makes it comfortable to hold and helps to keep screens safe from scratche...

Plays ever 3DS game on the market, More comfortable controls than previous model, Easy access to external storage
Shorter battery life than the New 3DS XL, Uncomfortably short stylus, Speakers are just okay
The New Nintendo 2DS XL isn't the best portable gaming console in the 3DS family, but if you don't care about the handheld's namesake stereoscopic effect or mind having a slightly shorter battery life, it's a great way to play Nintendo's excellent library...

Inexpensive, Functional, comfortable design, Supports library of thousands of DS and 3DS games spanning over a decade
Screen is very grainy and low-resolution next to the Switch, Feels redundant
The New Nintendo 2DS XL is the best (and most affordable) version of the 3DS gaming handheld we've seen yet, even if it pales in comparison with the Switch...

Abstract: While the Nintendo Switch is quickly becoming the handheld of choicethanks in part to the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey the 3DS still has some life left in it. Kirby's Blowout Blast, Hey! PIKMIN, Metroid: Samus...

The AKG N60NC Wireless on-ear headphones are compact, comfortable and well-designed, and sound excellent for a model with active noise cancellation and Bluetooth. They're smaller and lighter than competing full-size earphones and fold up nicely to fit in
Fairly pricey, headset performance when making calls isn't as good as it should be at this price
It doesn't bring anything new to the table, but the new 2DS XL delivers a fantastic Nintendo portable gaming experience at a great price...
