u can pls infodump cus i ALSO REALLY LIKE CONSOLES TOO and handheld consoles are sooo cute. i have a couple, not any new ones just like psvita and psp and 2ds and 3ds but now theres so many new handheld consoles nowadays that look so cool
oh yay ive been waiting for this opportunity! im going to talk about the differences between the ds'
the
ds (or
nds/nintendo ds, for clarity) is the first iteration of the entire nintendo ds family. its thicker compared to its sucessors, and has a d pad.
the
ds lite is the same, but slimmer and can play GBA games along with ds games with the slot at the bottom. i think it only has a front camera?
the
dsi is the ds lite but even slimmer, but without the GBA slot. it has a front and back camera if i recall correctly. might've mixed up the
ds lite and the dsi with the cameras.
the
3ds is roughly the same as the
dsi in size, but has a circle pad along with the dpad. and of course, its able to make a game appear 3d with its slider on the right side of the screen. all
3ds consoles are able to play nds games. (its always made me dizzy, personally). it has one inner camera and 2 back cameras on the back of the top screen.
the
3ds XL is the same but.. XL. its bigger. its corners are more rounded, and the home/start button at the bottom of the lower screen is larger.
the
new 3ds (its kinda funny when people think that nintendo came out with a "new" 3ds. but unfortunately, its old and "new" just apart of the name) is the same as the
3ds xl, but it only has the home button at the bottom of the screen and the start buttons are on the right side with the A/B/Y/X buttons.
and the
new 3ds xl is the same as the
new 3ds but bigger.
the 2ds' were made some time in between the 3ds', but i cant remember when exactly. all of these also play nds and 3ds games. its just a 3ds but without the 3d, which is why its the 2ds. the 2ds is the worst ds version imo, but i digress. the
2ds has a similar structure to the new 3ds except it doesn't fold. its card slot is on the bottom, since the card slot would usually be below the hinge on the bottom of the 3ds'. if that makes sense?
and the
new 2ds is like the
new 3ds, and folds. doesn't have the 3d either the top and bottom screens are more noticeably seperated by its hinge, and doesn't have a camera on the back of the top screen like the 3ds'. its on the bottom instead.
