They removed the DRM ages ago.

On Topic.

As for Ridiculous Platforms, I would say the Virtual Boy takes the Cake.

So does Gizmondo. [ Spelling? ]

In all fairness, The 2DS could be an alternative since 3D can cause problems when looked at for prolonged amounts of time.

But the problem is Firefox that some 3DS games, like puzzles games, requires the lid to be closed but the 2DS is just a block with a screen on it so you can't close the lid making certian games unplayable

They could obiously change something on that game to make it playable :/

also, the 2DS is more for younger kids that can't see 3D, if you bitch about it, get the 3DS, imo

Maybe it will have a button to emulate that the system is closed. But maybe not and then it is a fail because there are many features that only can be used if the system is closed. Just like the slot for game boy games that got ripped off since the Nintendo DSi. Some older games used this feature too.

But what about Streetpass for example? But the 2DS could use a different method to activate that. Is this even there? Or the step counter?

Thats right.
But the silly thing about it is that you can play all games in 2D with the Nintendo 3DS already because it is not compulsively to play in 3D with it.
But I have nothing against it. We will see. But I have a Nintendo 3DS already so I think for me it is not worth to buy. xD

But to not to talk about the Nintendo 2DS the whole thread.. and stay on topic and say other stupid ideas...

I do not know...

What about the PS-Vita? Was that a stupid idea?

The only problem with the Vita is that Sony haven't given it enough unique games to make it worth buying. The PSP could have been supported better later on too.

I believe i read somewhere sleep mode will be activated by a switch on the system, so any features that require closing the system will probably work off of that, but carrying something that size in your pocket is another story, it looks pretty big in that picture.

The only thing that worries me is that the button for turning off wi-fi is now in the main menu and not a switch on the side, if the system takes a spell and freezes on wi-fi (It does, and extremely hard too) you can't just cut the connection and unfreeze it. :\

Basically, And it also means raging children can't break the hinges.

If it is cheaper than the 3DS and has the removal of that stupid gimmick that they call "3D" then it is already an improvement.
