Since my vita can’t emulate ds games properly and I want to get my hands on different handhelds, I want to buy me a second hand model. Would you recommend the form factor of 2ds for bigger hands or are 2ds and 3ds clamshells are no sweat?
I’d definitely recommend the clamshell xl 2ds or 3ds. Also if you can find it the new 3ds/2ds has a slightly more powerful processor and a second thumbstick which can be nice for emulation
Yea the cstick. Is it that good tho? Idk if it’s meant to be a pointer or a right analog stick, never used such a thing.
It’s like a tiny right analog stick, also the new 2/3ds allows you to emulate she’s natively
If you consider the second stick that important, you can always add it to an old 3Ds XL…
I bought the “Circle Pad Pro” for my old 3DS XL.
3DS XL or 2DS XL. The basic 2DS is for toddlers.

Well I ain’t much of a grown up inside so I wouldn’t bat an eye.
I mean like it’s actually designed with toddlers in mind regarding size, build and such. It’s just not very pleasant for gaming.
I get that. Yet for a reason some people actually appreciate the small screen size and form factor. Some folks are avid users of small handhelds like rg nano or miyoo mini for their smallness.
For what it’s worth the New 2DS XL is my favorite variant of all the DS models.
Mine as well. Same internals as new 3ds, more rugged and rounded design and no cluttery layout. Plus being the newest model means it being less worn out potentially especially when you buy it second hand
XL without a doubt.
Get a new 2ds xl. The more powerful processor makes it compatible with all games and gives better emulation performance. Moreover, the clamshell design keep the screens protected.
If you want to play DS games, buy a DSi. It’s not the most comfortable thing in the world (a DSi XL would probably be better), but it’s way cheaper and games will be in the correct aspect ratio.
The 2DS really gave me hand cramps. I suggest you invest into a clamschell 2DS/3DS, definitely.
