description Nintendo 2DS Overview

The Nintendo 2DS is a handheld game console released by Nintendo in 2013 as a lower-cost member of the Nintendo 3DS family. It plays Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS software but displays 3DS games only in two dimensions. Unlike the folding systems in the same family, the original 2DS uses a single-piece slate body with two screens, physical controls, cameras, and wireless functions.

help Nintendo 2DS FAQ

Can the Nintendo 2DS play 3DS games in 3D?

No, the original Nintendo 2DS, released in 2013, completely removes the glasses-free 3D feature of the original 3DS. It plays all Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS software, but displays everything in strictly two dimensions.

Does the original Nintendo 2DS fold closed?

Unlike the standard 3DS and the later 2DS XL, the original Nintendo 2DS features a solid slate design and does not fold closed. It has a single screen divided by a plastic bezel to accommodate the touch screen and displays.

Does the Nintendo 2DS have a built-in camera?

Yes, the device includes inner and outer cameras similar to the 3DS, which are used for specific gameplay mechanics and taking photos. However, since there is no 3D screen, the 3D photos are only viewable when transferred to a 3D-capable console.
