Our take on the Nintendo New Nintendo 2DS XL Console

The New Nintendo 2DS XL is Nintendo's final clamshell handheld, a lighter, cheaper take on the New 3DS XL that drops the 3D screen but keeps the faster processor, C-stick, ZL/ZR buttons and Amiibo NFC. It plays the full 3DS and DS library, including the handful of games built only for the 'New' hardware. Its best new price is $249.99 at PayMore Derita as of November 4, 2026, well above the $150 launch price and near the top of what this discontinued console now sells for.

Questions and answers

Is the New 2DS XL worth it over a used New 3DS XL?
If you don't care about 3D, the 2DS XL is lighter and usually cheaper used. The New 3DS XL adds the 3D screen and stereo speakers.
Can it play every 3DS game?
Yes. It runs the full 3DS and DS library, plus the few games that require the 'New' processor, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.
Does it come with a charger?
No. Nintendo does not include an AC adapter in the box, so budget for a 3DS charger if you don't have one.
How much storage does it have?
It ships with a 4 GB microSD card. The slot is behind the bottom cover and needs a screwdriver to reach, so plan a larger card up front.
When is it cheapest?
Stock is limited now that it is discontinued, so prices swing with supply. Watch listings for loose or used units, which run well below the $249.99 new price at PayMore Derita as of November 4, 2026.
