Both games' action take place primarily on the top screen, which looks excellent for a 3DS family device. It's fairly bright and vivid, and compares favorably with the New 3DS XL's top screen with the glasses-free 3D disabled.

On the New Nintendo 3DS XL, the speakers are on both sides of the top screen, whereas on the New Nintendo 2DS XL, they are on the bottom of the handheld.

They were made available in translucent red, green, blue and yellow versions with colored buttons. Each were bundled with the corresponding Pokémon game, a special Home Menu theme, a poster, and a code to obtain Mew on the bundled game, or Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

You won't regret getting into Nintendo's best handheld to date. So many games to play: You can play all Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, and most Nintendo DS games in 2D on this system. Just by looking at the names, you might have guessed some of the differences between the Nintendo 3DS, the 2DS, and the New 2DS XL. But when it comes to the various iterations – Nintendo 3DS vs 2DS vs 2DS XL – there is actually more to it than just size and 3D compatibility.
