A person with very big hands might accidentally cover them up while playing. The speakers being positioned at the bottom rather than the top does not bother me at all (I have small hands. Lighter than a 3DS but not at all flimsy, still feels sturdy. (It uses the same battery as the rest of the 3DS family, part number CTR-003, but there's also an obnoxious sticky pad.) At least you don't have to remove the back cover to take out the microSD card though, like the New Nintendo 3DS XL! Read full review The battery is also not user-replaceable you'll need to find somebody with Nintendo's trusty tri-wing screwdriver, or send it to Nintendo for a battery swap. You might want to consider getting a third party one that telescopes. Now, there are a couple of things that bother me. The only catch I see is the box isn't the same as a retail box, but who cares? Most people throw that out anyways. This thing is as good as new, with a warranty to boot. Nintendo warns that you might end up with a console that has a smidge of wear and tear from a former life, but from my experience (and many others'), there's nothing. Don't let that word scare you off this thing is basically new. The reduced price of these refurbished consoles makes it even better. As the name suggests, there's no support for 3D visual effects, but many games started foregoing it later in its lifespan (notable Nintendo titles include Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, WarioWare Gold, and the mainline Pokémon games- outside of battles, anyways), and it helps save battery life. The game/software library for the Nintendo 3DS family is expansive, and that's not even including the support for legacy DS/DSi games. The New Nintendo 2DS XL is a great budget handheld console. Great little system at a great little price Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Refurbished Just be warned that the 2DS is built cheap(er), and feels cheap(er) than the 3DS. If you're looking for a cheap DS, Nint endo refurbished is the way to go. Overall, it's a good price for a good console. (This no longer seems to be a problem though). I also had a few instances of freezing on the menu screen while switching some DS/3DS carts. Some other things worth noting: The top screen wobbles a TON and makes it very difficult to play games that rely on the gyro (tilting DS) controls. These are 100% working and tested on both a 3DS and an orginal DS. A few are recognized if I insert it slowly, but most just don't work. The main issue I ran into is that the majority of my ORIGINAL DS game carts are not recognized at all. The stylus was the correct color, and all the buttons and cameras work perfectly. ![]() The DS I recieved looks and feels brand new, minus the packaging. New 2DS XL Refurb - Good, with a few issues ![]()
