so I've envied DS owners for years but I've never really felt like I could afford a super expensive 3DS. it has come to my attention, however, that a 2DS with Mario Kart 7 is only like $80, and all of the original pokemon games are $10 now. i'm thinking about going out and dropping some cash on a 2DS but i was wondering what games goons would say are good so i know i'll have stuff to play for the forseeable future. i was gonna also pick up Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and possibly a Shin Megami Tensei game, cus I've heard a lot about those but never played one goons what do you recommend? is a 2DS worth it? thanks in advance

Buy it immediately, it is also backwards compatible. Then buy a GBA SP and you'll be able to play every Nintendo handheld game.

For the price of a new console and a couple games you can play 20 years of the best Nintendo has to offer, especially since there are ports or digital versions of almost every good SNES and NES game.

for the price-sensitive gamer, the 2ds is an immense value.

You can still play Pokemon Red it's just the SNES downloadable games that won't work. Also Xenoblade and Hyrule Warriors Legends need a New 3DS to play and Monster Hunter benefits a lot from the extra buttons/stick on the New model but other than that the 2DS can play everything fine. I love my New 3DS XL but if you're gaming on a budget a 2DS is a sick deal and you won't regret it edit: yeah for the difference in price you could pick up enough good games to last you a year

I like Mario Kart, but only when I do rad MP sessions with my friends in the original one, so I'm not sure I'd get much mileage out of it alone

yokai watch looks fun cute but i haven't played it yet myself. it's a jrpg from level-5 who made dragon quest 8 and some other good jrpgs so it's probably pretty decent

There's no running story or anything but it helps to have played previous games just from an experience standpoint.

Playing smtiv first is fine imo. If you like it definitely play the PS2 press turn triple threat, SMT3, Digital Devil Saga and Digital Devil Saga 2. If you have a PS2/3 that is.

Awesome. Gonna check my bank account and if I'm not dead broke, gonna go to a GameStop a few miles away and get the yo Kai bundle. Are there any like, absolutely 100% necessary accessories? I don't usually drop things or whatever so a case won't be needed

well i could've waited and ordered a better bundle or something but i wanted to go physically acquire a system since buying a console is a blast from the past for me. went and got the red 2DS Yo-Kai Watch bundle with a used Ocarina of Time cart. probably gonna buy Pokemon Red in a few minutes here, check out the e-store i haven't owned a handheld since i got a GBA color in the late 90s so i'm pretty stoked here
