A New Nintendo 2DS XL with Mario Kart 7 thrown in, all for just under $130. This is the best price we’ve seen on a 2DS in ages, and it likely won’t be beaten this Black Friday.
If you’re wondering what makes the 2DS XL so special, you need only look at its predecessors: the 3DS XL and the 2DS. The 2DS XL improves on both prior models by combining their strengths. It takes its clamshell form factor and superb button layout from the 3DS XL, and it gets its improved, no-frills screen from the base 2DS. For all but the most diehard fans of paltry 3D effects, it’s everything you could ever want from a DS without any of the gimmicks, and it’s cheaper to boot. It’s no Switch, but the 2DS XL is still a fantastic system with a massive library of classic games, and at this price point it’s borderline unmissable.
If you’re looking for 2DS XL deals in other colors – namely black-and-blue and white-and-orange – be sure to check out our Black Friday Nintendo 2DS XL deals (opens in new tab) roundup. We’ve also got a healthy list of the best 3DS games (opens in new tab), from staples like Mario and Zelda to little-known gems like BoxBoy and Picross 3D Round 2. And you’d better believe that Mario Kart 7, the game that comes with this bundle, is on our list as well.
