Hello my friends, and welcome to this episode of 3DSCast! Today, it’s my intention to convince all and sundry that they need an original 2DS. Not the New 2DS XL, mind you, THAT thing is a piece of crap. No no, the original 2DS. You know, this one:
This thing is affectionately called “the doorstop,” even by folks who love it like me. However, it’s my intention that, by the end of this episode, you’ll not only respect this lovely little device, but you’ll want one of your very own, especially as prices are going up, according to PriceCharting. Now is the best time to get one!
Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

When I first saw Nintendo announce the 2DS, I (like many) disliked and were skeptical about it. But when I was modding my girlfriend’s brother’s 2DS two years ago, that was my first time seeing and playing on it. And I have to say, the feel is really good! I do prefer the bigger screen, since the 2DS is smaller, but it’s not a bad system. I wouldn’t want to have a 2DS (nor the New 2DS XL because I enjoy playing with the 3D on sometimes), but my opinion has changed after so many years.
And yes I do agree that the hinge is a horror with the cracks and the wires running in it. I’ve been seeing a lot of hinge cracks and the top screen literally popping off on Reddit threads. My 3DS XL is 13 years old, and no problems so far! You should definitely try and watch TheRetroFuture. He does a lot of retro console and 3DS repairs in full detail, and that made me realize that the 3DS is hell to repair
Can’t wait to listen to more!
I’ll check it out, thanks, and thanks for listening!
