Outside the lack of 3D the console sports a sleeker, and lighter design compared to that of the New 3DS XL, while offering the same large, and beautiful screens.
Here's a quick break down of the Pros and Cons!
Pros:
A smaller, and lighter footprint making it even more ideal for taking your adventures alongside you
Offers the same faster processor found in the New 3DS XL for a zippier all around experience, and support for a wider range of games
Screens are over 80% larger compared to the original 2DS
Now supports micro SD cards with no need to remove the back cover, as the most recent iteration of the 3DS required. They have also provided a port cover which offers a nice visual continuity for both the game cartridge, and micro sd slots
New c stick, and back triggers for expanded control options
Feels well made, and sits at a fair price point
Charger comes included
------
Cons:
Included stylus is incredibly small
Bottom speaker placement not ideal, and it may be possible to muffle the sound depending on how you hold the system, of course headphones are also still an option for those wanting the best possible audio experience
Game images, and pictures can only be viewed in 2D, but whether this is actually seen as a con is entirely subjective as many do not feel they need the feature anyways
------
So thats about it for the ups and downs if you may be considering a purchase, I love mine and look forward to enjoying gaming on it in the near future!
The new two-tone design offers a subtle, and clean sense of style which has left me very pleased with my investment, and if you are a fan of Nintendo, and handheld gaming in general I think you will be too =)
Regarding the New 2DS XL as a system and its overall product design, I have some things of my own to say as someone who once owned a Pink DS Lite and later the original 2DS:
- I understand where people are coming from regarding how the system’s closing hinge feels, but I feel like I can adapt to it well. There’s a point in opening where there’s slight resistance before the system is “open flat”, but that serves a purpose from the other direction: once the system is open flat, that resistance point keeps it there against gravity or awkward angles, so you won’t deal with a DS slowly sagging shut if you happen to be lying in bed or otherwise laying down. Compared to my old DS Lite, it does have its pros and cons, but I think I prefer it over the hinge from my childhood. My biggest struggle was that I was used to the quickness of the sleep switch on my old 2DS when I needed to briefly look away from the game, and I need to retrain my instincts to use a game’s built-in “pause” instead. Though, considering the much better portability of this “foldable” system compared to my old 2DS, needing to change my habits for this is well worth it.
- I can see why people are complaining about the speakers being largely blocked by their palms when holding the system, but I also think some people may just… grip the system differently than others. With how I grip it, the corners of the console rest more against the center of my palm rather than being surrounded completely. If I accidentally muffle the sound with my hands, it’s rarely and barely.
- The complaints about the size of the built-in stylus are fully justified. This thing is tiny and I would rather use the spare styluses I’ve had since the days of my DS lite. When using it for a touchscreen-navigation-based game like Wind Waker or Spore Creatures DS, my hand ends up so close to the screen I can barely see half of it! Some cases I’ve seen for the system come with an XL stylus about the size of a real-life pen, and I might recommend looking at those instead.
- The bigger screen is amazing. I never knew what I was missing for all these years! Even my old DS games scale up to fill the screen as much as they can while still keeping aspect ratio, and I swear it brings them new life in a way. Playing D-Pad based games from the old DS days with the circle pad also feels amazing, though I have yet to play any games that require the C-Stick exclusive to the New systems.
- Although I still have to get used to the process of opening it and stop feeling like I’m about to damage it, having the SD card and game cartridges lock in BEHIND a closed sort of “flap” is ingenious. There were a few times as a kid or even an adult where I accidentally bumped the edge of the game cartridge that was being used by my DS Lite or 2DS at the time, and lost a fair bit of game progress as it ejected. (I swear I didn’t mean to, Resetti!) With this setup, there’s no chance of that.
- I think my personal complaint with the system is an odd one - while my palm doesn’t cover the speakers much, it DOES tend to cover the lights on the system’s edge, including the power light that turns red to warn you of low battery. I wish that either a) there was a specific light on the upper pane of the system that would turn on and shine red when the battery got low, so you were guaranteed to see it (like my old 2DS), or b) those lights were located at one end of the hinge, like the old DS Lite and similar systems.
Console review:
Amazing New 2DS XL. Without the 3D feature, it is still a great handheld. For those who hate the 3D feature that the 3DS and New 3DS has, get a 2DS or New 2DS. It is the same as New 3DS without the 3D. The extra button that it have with the C-Stick, it is great for New 3DS/2DS exclusive games. The XL is large enough for players who want a bigger screen. Down side is that the C-Stick on both New 3DS/2DS and the XL version has is that you don't have much freedom on playing around with it. The game I try it out on was Fire Emblem Warrior which use it to move the camera around. Not much freedom to move it around and wish it have freeplay movement on it to make it feel like you are really using the C-Stick like the GameCube has.
Seller that I bought it from:
I bought it used for $119.99 that have Amazon Prime. It say "used - acceptable" and was worry but I bought it anyway. When it come in, I was glad that it was in a great condition. Come with charger for the New 2DS XL that is wrap perfectly in the package along side with the New 2DS XL.
The seller was: The-Open-Box
I'll give it an A++ on amazing package

So far I've played the Hatsune Miku game and Monster Hunter Ultimate 4. Being a PC gamer most of my adult life, I've been really impressed with how this console performs and plays these games. Sure, the graphics aren't AMAZING, but for a portable handheld it's a very relaxing way to play. It's also worth mentioning that since they sacrifice graphics, you get games with stellar gameplay and content. I can already tell I'm gonna get potentially hundreds of hours out of both Monster Hunter and Miku, both have tons of replay value and are just really fun to play (I've never played any other of the games in the series, so I can't compare).
I'd say at this point this console alone for 3DS games has a solid 20+ exclusive titles to play, as well as an enormous DS library available (many of which are exclusive, never been ported, etc). Lots of remakes of DS games are coming out this year and next, some of the best games ever made in the past 10 years easily. Overall I'd highly recommend this console, it's an amazing companion to have as a PC gamer to change it up.
