Nintendo reveals the New Nintendo 2DS XL, Miitopia release date
With the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo made it clear that, despite the Nintendo Switch, it certainly wasn’t time for retirement for the good ol’ Nintendo 3DS. And today, the company squashed any remaining doubts about its commitment to the handheld by announcing… a new Nintendo 3DS model, the 6th one!
Introducing… the New Nintendo 2DS XL! (Do NOT ask about the New Nintendo 2DS… seriously).

As the name implies, the New Nintendo 2DS XL is basically a 2D-only version of the New Nintendo 3DS XL, albeit with a significantly different design. But the rest is pretty much the same: the souped-up CPU, the C-Stick, the ZR and ZL button, the NFC reader/writer, etc. In fact, the New Nintendo 2DS XL will have something neither the New Nintendo 3DS or the New Nintendo 3DS XL have… an AC Adapter in the box!
