Nintendo has released a new TV commercial for the Nintendo 2DS. Aimed at youngsters, the 30-second promo puts an emphasis on how kids can take the portable device with them outside during the summer. Some of the titles highlighted in the video include Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land. Although it maintains several hardware features as the Nintendo 3DS, the 2DS can only play games in 2D. Without any hinges, the 2DS was initially designed to serve as an ideal first-time system for children.
Nintendo 2DS TV Commercial Focuses On Kids
Nintendo is focused on kids….
Oh you mean the 2ds, yeah I agree…but in general, no. The more people say it, the more it makes you a wanna be gamer. “True gamers play all”.
Even Microsoft consoles.
No…
Sorry commander but yes…even xbox.
Nope…
makes me want a 2DS kinda
I have one. The controls are actually really comfortable.
Sony and Microsoft is focused on whiny 11-year old Call Of Duty players….
And primitive college dudebros…
Dumbass, the 2DS was originally conceited to focus on younger audience due to omitting 3D.
Open your fucking mind please. You look like an obvious idiot.
WHERE ARE ALL THE WIIU COMMERCIALS?
Exactly.
That lack of Wii U attention is pissing me off. :( Is Nintendo deliberately keeping Wii U in the dark for some reason? People need to know WTF Wii U is.

Not sure how that works…
Its simple, sasori comes, I bitch slap him :)
Hears what I got to say – Kiddy U, Baby U, Nintendo for babies…… Just Kidding, That would be funny if I really was one of those people though
Thank god you’re not..or are you just saying that to troll?
That’s good.
Though I’d like to see more Wii U ads Nintendo….
I don’t even remember the last time I saw a Wii U ad. Back around October, Pokémon X and Y got brutally advertised. Saw it everyday on TV. I saw Kirby Triple Deluxe get advertised. I saw Playstation’s Greatness Awaits (Who hasn’t?) ad. Watch Dogs PS4 ad. Xbox One’s Titanfall ad. And I saw a 2DS commercial. I’ve seen ads for almost everything but the Wii U in the past few months. What’s up with that?
I didn’t see anything. Only X & Y once.
There’s that Mario Kart 8 ad which maybe be alright but the system needs ads for itself.
No adult should be seen in public with a 2ds, bunch of tools..
I like your name, is it Russian? Or is it Scandinavian? I have a guess it’s Dutch too.
It’s Crapsolvanian…
That is very UNIQUE it must be a FASCINATING country.
Of course…
It’s entirely made from crap…
No adult should be seen in public with a Playstation Vita, bunch of tools..
What’s a Playstation Vita? Sounds like something with no games, overpriced and doesn’t sell well
thats the Wiiu #Exposed
That’s the vita for you*
Corrected your spelling mistake ^^
Ah you beat me to it… Never mind :P
Vita*
Why? Are you that chicken shit to be seen with one or are you really just saying that you wanna act cool with a Vita that has no fucking games to play besides watered down PS3 ports?
You yourself are a tool for being a fool.
I dont like the comments anymore. All anyone does is bitch the shit out of everyone.. Goodbye comments!
Cool story bro
Being a collector, I was going to eventually buy a 2DS. Even if I never open it. But I’m waiting for some sort of special edition.
Eternal darkness 2, MAJORA’S Mask HD, and Bioshock Wii U confirmed
Sounds about right. That’s what I think when I think 2DS. There’s nothing wrong with that though.
3DS XL master race
Well 3DS Master Race is sufficient…
3DS XL subspecies are just the stronger ones…
NOPE
Uhh…Is anybody else noticing that there’s a wrench(Settings icon) in the top left corner on home screen in that picture instead of a sun(Brightness icon)? Perhaps a future update?
Never mind. Apparently that icon is there on the 2DS only. It’s the brightness settings with the ability to switch off the Wi-Fi. I kind of wish that gets brought to the 3DS/XL even though we have to physical switch. Just for the sake of consistency.
This information comes from person, who works at Nintendo Europe in Germany and prepares few elements for upcoming show. Sorry for my English, it’s not my native language.
Nintendo Digital Event will be something between Nintendo Direct, and classic E3 stage show. This will be something like TV Show hosting by Nintendo executives (Iwata, Shibata, Reggie etc.) and with live audience (most of them will be Nintendo employees).
Nintendo knows, that upcoming E3 is the last moment for saving Wii U, so most of the time, they gonna tell about Wii U games, but of course there will be time for 3DS games too.
They gonna be two biggest stars of the show: new Zelda game, and Smash Bros (especially for Wii U).
WII U
New Zelda game – As they said, Nintendo will finally show us brand new Wii U Zelda. They gonna show us CGI trailer, and also a few minutes of gameplay. It will be true open world Zelda (Elder Scrolls style). It will have two regions, one dark and edgy. Second more colorful, just like Skyward Sword. Game will be playable at E3. Release date: 2015.
Smash Bros Wii U/3DS – They will reveal release dates for both versions (SB Wii U in November). Show more gameplay, and presents all fighters and stages. They will also talk about Smash DLC and NFC Figures.
Monolith Soft X (Xenoworld) – Open world jrpg with story mode and cooperation similar to Monster Hunter Games. You can play it alone with AI companions. Release date winter 2014 in Japan and march 2015 in the west.
Bayonetta 2 – Trailer and release date (fall 2014)
FExSMT/Yarn Yoshi – first trailers and release dates (first half of 2015)

New Miyamoto’s game – Lots of Gamepad and NFC gimmicks.

NINTENDO 3DS
Smash Bros – more details about 3DS version
Pokemon Omega Ruby/Apha Saphire – trailer, details about game
Tomodachi Life – trailer, details
Yokai Watch/Dragon Quest VII – west release announcement, trailers, details and release dates (autumn-winter 2014)
Metroid 3DS – developed by Next Level Games, classic 2.5D Metroid, trailer, release date: December 2014
BIG FINAL SUPRISE
Star Fox – reboot of the series, developed by Platinum Games. First trailer, CGI and gameplay. Game is mix of Star Fox Adventures and classic Star Fox games. Release date: 2015.
You lost credability when you said:
“Lots of Gamepad and NFC gimmicks…”
Gimmicks don’t always mean it’s a bad thing.
Touch screens are gimmicks on smartphones but they are good.
It’s not a gimmick when things work, it’s then called an “Asset”…
Gimmick –
“a trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or trade”
So yeah, it’s pretty much neutral saying so don’t get angry when someone calls the Wii U gamepad a “Gimmick”
In other words, the Kinect; a spy cam of a carbon PSEye/Wii Remote ripoff that only attracts dumbasses who can’t tell from gimmick to feces.
Gamepad a an “optional” standard controller like the Wii Remote is.
Unless that “asset” happens to be the Kinect which is nothing more than a failed PCcam/PSEye/Wii Remote smash up to try and fail competing the Wii.
How can touch screens on phones be a gimmivk when its now a standard technology with loads of usage.
I think you got the definition of gimmick confused by listening to too many dumbasses and fanboys who never picked up a dictionary before.
Wait, so is the Star Fox game on Wii U or 3DS?
That e3 list is true
Well Nintendo specifically made it clear that the 2DS was designed for younger kids. The wedge shape is so they can slip it in with their books, in their back packs. The cheap, but sturdy material is so the device doesn’t break easily and doesn’t cost too much if it happens to break.
Perfect for kids. Nintendo’s so smart :)
