Wow that's horrible. I've read about that, but have never heard or known anyone who had one. :\

Shadow, what? That is extremely common and most of my friends had it. Most of the people I know actually. I don't have it though and I hope I never have it.
It's not that bad, but it's pretty annoying to have, imo. I mean: You vomit, have fever, feel sick and your appendix hurts so bad.

Anyways, good luck Pyro!

Well I'm done with the surgery and I'm now appendix-free. It really wasn't bad at all to be honest. A little bit of soreness and some slight trouble making jarate, but I'm fine now.

For just 40$ less than the regular 3DS, it's just an useless thing...why taking the 3D out? You can turn it off in the 3DS, and you can even lock it down for safety reasons with the parental control. You can't close it so it's just bulky and less portable...i really see no reason for it to exist.

Well honestly now that I've thought about it and read a bit more about it, I don't think it's such a bad idea. Sure, those of us who have the 3DS and think that it can't be improved upon think the 2DS is a step backwards, but there are those who really don't care about the 3D and this gives them another option. It looks pretty dumb, but I'm sure it will have it's fans and will certainly help boost 3DS sales.

Also, thanks for all the concern guys, I really appreciate it.

Also also, the box art for the new Zelda is looking pretty slick:

If you look at the 2DS closely, you can see that it's meant for younger kids and such- the controls are moved up for ease, and breaking the hinge/backbone of the 2DS is something that won't happen. (I broke my first DS that way...)
Not only that, but it's a $40 cheaper option with the 3D removed for those who don't care or don't want it. That 40 bucks can get you a good game or two.

It's a smart move that will boost sales, but I certainly don't want to buy it.

I don't have the 3DS, and I don't care about 3D that much, but I'd still prefer the 3DS over this 2DS...40$ are worth the option to close it and being more comfortable to carry around, and to activate the 3D if i ever want to(not to mention the 2DS is ugly to me).

How did you manage to break the hinge? You don't even have to touch the top part except to open/close it.

I dropped it multiple times.., (while closed)
The hinge was the only problematic part of the DS when I was little.
The 2DS's market still is focused on young players, though.

But hey Nintendo often know what they're doing.

I think it's a good idea.
Ok, the name + the design look like it's a joke.
But:
-The name 2DS is good because when you hear it, you understand that it's in the same serie as the 3DS. If it was DSlate or something, when you hear it, you won't think "Oh, it can play 3DS games". It's not the best name, but it's also far form being the worst.
-It's unclosable because that make it cheaper, and it make it harder to break.
-Some people can't stand the 3D, so they never use it.
And finally: It's not for you. It's for children.(And seeing the reddit thread, It's a great console for poor college students.)

I just hope it doesn't turn into the DS with a shit tone of better version coming out once a year.

EDIT: actually this might be going backwards in quality since it's removing features.

Yeah, that's a problem. But how would you call it? "3DS [lite or something]" is misleading (There is no 3D) and "DS [slate or something]" will sound like it's a new generation of DS.
There is no perfect name.

It's cheaper. Obviously, it's gonna be less good than the 3DS, that's how we make things cheaper.

The problem is that it's not the best name. Because it sound like the 2DS came before the 3DS(2<3), and also it sound like a joke : "What's the point of 3D in 3DS when you never use it Nintendo should do a 2DS instead lololol.".
So, when people said that, I replied "yeah but try to find a better name" because If you call it something like DSlate, it will sound like it's a whole new generation of DS that can't play 3DS. So they had to have a name that look like "3DS". But if you keep "3DS" in the name, it will also be misleading since it don't do 3D(That's the point). So 2DS is the best compromise.
And then you came and said that you would "call [it=>the 2DS] "3DS" and "NDS" ".

Yeah, but imagine, you don't know shit about nintendo, 3DS, 2DS, all that.
You come into a store, wanting to buy a game console.
You find the 2DS next to the 3DS.
You will probably think:
"Oh, the 2DS came before the 3DS"(The same way as the IPhone 5 came before the IPhone 6), "I should take the 3DS, since it's the newer version."
and not "It's a 3DS that's 2D"

I went about it using adapters for a power supply for the system. It was sort of unreliable, but worked.
I also used a portable DVD player screen to actually see what I was playing.
