Nintendo will introduce the Nintendo 2DS, an entry-level dedicated portable gaming system that plays all Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS games in 2D in October.
The system will launch on October 12, the same day as Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, at a suggested retail price of $129.99.
It is designed specifically as an affordable entry point and will made available in Red or Blue.
Nintendo 2DS plays the entire library of packaged and downloadable games for Nintendo 3DS – only in 2D and is a slate-type form factor.
Nintendo said that 2DS maintains “many of the same hardware features as Nintendo 3DS” such as dual screens, game-play controls and touch-screen features.
It is also backward compatible with the existing library of more than 2,000 Nintendo DS games, as well as access to wireless connectivity features like multiplayer, Nintendo Video and digital games listed in the eShop.
