Nintendo 2DS XL

A new model of Nintendo 2DS has been announced by Nintendo. This model is the New Nintendo 2DS XL and will release in Japan on July 13th, Australia on June 15th and Europe & North America on July 28th. This device is the same size as a Nintendo 3DS XL but comes at a cheaper price, lacking the stereoscopic 3DS feature of the Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS models, but also includes amiibo functionality, stronger processor and the right stick that you can find in the New Nintendo 3DS models. It'll retail for 14,980¥ and $149.99 upon release
