Nintendo UK Nintendo Handheld Console - Black/Blue 2Ds With Pre-Installed Mario Kart 7

I loved it all except the fact that the cord it came with was from another country so it wouldn’t plug in my American outlet It was super cheap for a Nintendo system and it was in like new condition

Got this for my daughter. It was far cheaper than the 3DS and didn't have the annoying, headache inducing screen. Also no hinge to possibly get broken with over zealous opening/closing. Battery life is decent. It plays all the 3DS games, and is pretty comfy to hold (I got thumb cramp on the on the 3DS!). Feels solid and durable. does take up more room than the folding 3DS, especially in a case. But there is generally more room in the case for other bits, cables, games etc. great for younger kids, older ones wont be too fussed, they will be on their Xbox or phone more likely!

I haven't owned a Nintendo since the original DS when it first came out, and when I saw this for £75, I decided to get it, since it comes with a game as well, and I travel a lot, so I could use this when travelling. It arrived very quickly, and was brand new, not damaged in the post or anything. The console itself is great. The design is very simple, but is very comfortable and it's very balanced, unlike the clamshell design of the 3DS. It comes with a 4GB memory card, with mario kart 7 pre-installed, which is nice, since you don't have to download it using a code, you just turn it on, set the console up, and then you're ready to play. The graphics are decent, not amazing, but given the size of the screens you can't fault it. It has a decent battery life, and you can put it in sleep mode which is very useful, as the device still does stuff like streetpass while in sleep mode. Overall, this is a great console and if you want something to pass the time while travelling or just want a cheap handheld console, this is the way to go.

It fits the nintendo 2 ds very well and seems strong. Reasonably priced and a nice colour.

Perfect for children who are too young to be staring at the 3D function on a 3DS (or too clumsy to be trusted with the clamshell design of the other models). The fact that this comes with Mario Kart 7, one of the best games available on the system, is brilliant. I won't bother going into any other details about the system itself, as there are probably a million reviews on the web where you can read every single detail. Suffice to say this is a kid-friendly version of probably the best hand held console ever made. Two bits of advice if you are buying it for a child, mind you: get screen protectors, and get a spare stylus (or two). One general piece of advice: get a bigger SD card. The 2gb one supplied doesn't go very far if you want to download games and demos and fill it with photos and whatnot.
