I just heard about the new 2ds that's coming out yesterday. I would rather keep my 3ds so I'm not getting one. On the other hand, I think that the 2ds would be better suited for children. Even though it doesn't close, which is why I wouldn't bother getting one, it looks kid friendly and can still play Ds and 3ds games. I'm just confuses on why they didn't close this on but maybe it will be a hit.
