Nintendo Announces 2DS and 3DS Games to come and more!

svgApr 27, 2017NewsMax

[dropcap]N[/dropcap]intendo just announced a new Nintendo 2DS XL. Packing tons of features, within a lightweight constructions. Nintendo has also stated that the 3DS games and devices will run next to the Switch, and Nintendo plans to continue supporting the handheld with more games to be released in the months and years to come.

President Tatsumi Kimishima has announced even stronger support for the 2DS and 3DS family.

The 2DS features the same large screen the 3DS does, in the same clamshell design. Players can enjoy the more than 1,000 Nintendo 3DS software titles available in Japan on a 2D screen. Other than the fact that the screen displays in 2D, New Nintendo 2DS XL has the same capabilities as New Nintendo 3DS XL.

The Nintendo 3DS family of systems has spread steadily worldwide, surpassing a total sell-through of 63 million units of hardware. We will continue to work to make sure our business leverages this installed base by providing consumers with software.

With a multitude of titles already released, Nintendo 3DS has a large and fulfilling library. We believe that it is important that we channel these titles in our sales. Trends show that these evergreen titles continue to sell well in the long term, especially overseas. We want to encourage consumers who recently purchased hardware to purchase these evergreen titles.

We will also continue providing new titles. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the latest title in the Fire Emblem series, was released April 20 in Japan. It will release May 19 in the U.S. and Europe. On July 13, Ever Oasis, a new actionadventure RPG set in a world of desert, will be released. The same day, easy-to-play side-scroller action Hey! Pikmin will be out on Nintendo 3DS as the first Pikmin game on a handheld system. This year is also Kirby’s 25th anniversary. We will be releasing the Kirby titles you see here.

In the U.S. and Europe, Ever Oasis and will be released on June 23, and Hey! Pikmin will be released on July 28.

These are first-party games that were released by Nintendo in Japan and games developed and sold by publishers in Japan that will be distributed by Nintendo in the American and European markets.

This slide shows titles from third parties in Japan that will have already released as of April 2017 or that are planned for release through fall of this year. As you can see, we have a rich lineup of games planned for Japan again in this fiscal year.

Square Enix recently announced that the latest entry in the Dragon Quest series, Dragon Quest XI: Sugisarishi Toki o Motomete, will be released in Japan in July, around the time of the launch of New Nintendo 2DS XL. In this way, we are working to maintain momentum in the Nintendo 3DS business by introducing new titles and continuing to offer evergreen titles while launching New Nintendo 2DS XL to expand the available selection of hardware in the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

You can now pre-order the Nintendo 2DS at Gamestop for $149.99.

    I’ll definitely be getting a 2DS XL. For me it has some major quality of life improvements that make it worth getting over my New 3DS XL. Especially since I carry my system in my pocket all the time.
    1) Cartridge Cover! Oh my this is the single biggest improvement! Way too often I’ll pull my system out of my pocket to find the cartridge ejected and my game play lost
    2) The lower screen bezel is flush and recessed (not raised and then recessed). Every 3DS system I have ever owned the lower bezel has scratched the top screen. Likely due to being in my pocket.

    I rarely play games in 3D (I always check it out), even with the improved tracking on the “New” systems. I never get a good sweet spot for my focal length/width, and many games have aberrations that appear when in 3D.

    I’m disappointed that the power button is still located at the bottom of the system. I wish it was interior like the original 3DS, or on top. I irregularly hit that button with my pinky and that instantly closes my game. This was really common when I played Monster Hunter as I use my pinky to brace the system more when I need to use the C-Stick. I finally opened up the case and filed the button down about a millimeter so it was recessed and harder to hit.
