The Nintendo 2DS handheld gaming console. The 2DS is the 3rd hardware iteration of the Nintendo 3DS, after the 3DS and the 3DS XL, and was released in late 2013. It is notable for having a radically different form factor than the rest of the 3DS and DS line and omitting 3D capability. Instead of a clamshell design, the 2DS is a slate with one large LCD screen that is covered with plastic to mimic the two screens of the 3DS. Like the 3DS XL, it launched in either a blue or red color.

The reduction in capabilities (mono sound, lack of 3D) positions the 2DS as the budget model of the 3DS lineup and it retails for $129.99, $40 less than the 3DS and $70 less than the 3DS XL. It is also marketed to young children, as Nintendo discourages children younger than 7 from using the 3D feature for eye health concerns.
