New Nintendo 2DS XL Handheld Game Console - Orange + White With Mario Kart 7 Pre-installed - Nintendo 2DS

I Brought this item and when I received it the item it was switched for a different thing all together. I contacted the seller because I was going to send back the item and I talked to seller and he was very helpful but in the end I keeped the item and gave it to my brother because I was going to buy the item it was switched for any way for my brother. So in the end everything worked out okay.

Returned this item, still awaiting refund. Comes from a US seller not compatible here, wrong plug, couldn’t download uk games. Very disappointed child on Christmas Day.

Pequeña gran consola. Se siente frágil, es importante comprarle un protector adicional. Lástima que nintendo dejó de producirla, así que pronto será un artículo de colección. Hay una gran variedad de excelentes juegos (se compran aparte) y muchas horas de diversión. La compré todavía a un muy buen precio.

So to start of this is an awesome handheld. It has lots of games to play, and the graphics are pretty good. They don’t compare to Xbox 1 or PS4 graphics, or the Switch, but if your not looking for a console with perfect graphics these are pretty good, and are definitely a improvement over the DS graphics. First Impressions: When you first get it, it feels really light, almost too light. I was nervous I was gonna break it. You soon get used to it, but it might feel weird at first. I do wish it came with a manual. I would recommend reading over the manual on the Nintendo website before/during setup. I thought the stencil was missing only to find out it was in the device next to the headphone jack all along. Would have been nice to know BEFORE I set up the entire thing, but you can’t change the past. I like that it comes with Mario Kart 7 so you can play right away. C-stick, ZR and ZL buttons are nice, but I have yet to find a game that uses them, so right now I can really only use them on the home menu. Really like the circle pad and I’m glad they added it on the 3DS and 2DS. After getting used to the weight it feels really nice to hold. Battery life is good (about 3-6 hours, depending on what your doing on it. Orange and white color scheme is really nice. The Games: The device came with Face Raiders, AR Games, and Mario Kart 7. Face Raiders is fun but I can’t really see you playing it unless you have nothing else to do. It’s fun, but all you really do is take pictures of faces and the fight them by shooting balls at them. AR games is fun for a little while but can be frustrating because unless you have every light on in the room it has trouble reading. It’s also hard to stay 14 inches away at all times. Mario Kart is really fun though, and I’ll leave a review on it soon. Mii Maker: If you have ever used a Wii or WiiU, chances are you know what a Mii is. If you don’t, it’s a little cartoonish character that you make to resemble you or a family member or friend. They’re fun to make, and if your like me, you’ll have fun making the most hideous Miis you can (Woman with a beard and eyes that don’t even attach to the face? Check). eShop: As it sounds, the eShop is an online store. You can get retro and indie games that you can’t get anywhere else. I mainly just go in it for the music C;. 3DS Camera: It’s fun to use, though the picture/video quality isn’t great. It doesn’t have a lot of the filters the DSi has, which is a little disappointing, but you can still draw all over peoples faces >:). 3DS Sound: Again, fun to use, the sound come back really quiet so you really have to put the speaker up to your ear to hear it unless your shouting, but it’s fun to filter different sounds. Activity Log: Since the 3DS doesn’t have Parental Controls for time limits, this might work if you want to see how much your kid is playing (Although if multiple kids use one system, the 3DS registers it as one person because you can’t have have multiple personal Miis). Download Play: You can play games with your friends with only one copy. You can also download DS titles, so it’s entirely possible to play with a DS/DSi user. Badge Arcade: This does NOT come with the 3DS. You have to get it from the eShop. You can find it under Free to Start. I feel like putting it in here since it’s actually really cool: The Badge Arcade is where you collect badges to decorate your home menu. You get them by playing these claw machine games. You can get badges based on all sorts of Nintendo games. I’m making mine look like a Mario course. StreetPass: You can exchange data with 3DS users you pass that have StreetPass enabled. Parental Controls: You can use these to limit what the system can do. Here is what you can restrict: Software Rating: Limits what you child can play via ESRB ratings. Internet Browser: Take away the ability to use the Internet Browser. Nintendo 3DS Shopping Services: Remove the ability to access the eShop and Theme Shop. Miiverse: Miiverse was discontinued, so this setting does not matter. Sharing Images/Audio/Video/Long Text Data: Removes the ability to share any of these things with people who are not friends. Online Interaction: Remove the ability to interact with other players. StreetPass: Remove the ability to use StreetPass. Friend Registration: Remove the ability to register friends DS Download Play: Remove the ability to download DS titles via Download Play (Note: This does NOT remove the ability to download 3DS titles). Viewing Distributed Videos: Removes the ability to watch videos Final Thoughts/Tl;DR: Really fun handheld, feels nice when you get used to it. Nice features and the included game is great. I’d recommend getting a bigger SD card if your going to buy more than around 4 games from the eShop. The included stylus wouldn’t stay in so buy some extras (I reviewed some great 3rd party styluses, so if your okay with that kind of stuff you should look into it). You should also buy a case, just in case (pun intended).

Awesome device, but maybe get the black version

My son purchased this as were unable to get the product in Australia but on using finding that the product was Region locked to US so why is it being sold here with no way to alter this. So now we have to return the useless item at our expense back to the US. Not good enough Amazon.

The box comes with the 2ds XL, and the AC adapter (charger). Everything works properly. The pre-installed game, mario kart 7, is really fun to play, especially online.
