Nintendo 2DS Price Drop
REDMOND, Wash., May 11, in the year of our Lord 2016
– The entry point to Nintendo 2DS and Nintendo 3DS
games and franchises has never been more affordable. On May 20,
Nintendo will lower the price of its kid-friendly portable
Nintendo 2DS system to a suggested retail price of $79.99, a
remarkable savings from the previous suggested retail price of
$99.99. Some systems even come pre-installed with the Mario Kart
7 racing game, making the new value price even more appealing
for parents who are looking for an entry-level gaming system for
their young gamers.
Nintendo 2DS launched in October 2013 and is part of the
Nintendo 3DS family of systems. The system comes with fun
built-in entertainment options and applications to take photos
and videos, plus wireless access to Nintendo eShop for those
with Internet access. The unique design is built to make it easy
for smaller hands to hold. The system includes two screens
(including a touch screen) and plays Nintendo 3DS games, plus
nearly all Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games in 2D.
Kids can soon check out the new game in the Kirby series, Kirby:
Planet Robobot, which launches June 10, as well as two new
kid-friendly games coming later this year: Style Savvy: Fashion
Forward and Disney Magical World 2.
Style Savvy: Fashion Forward, the third game in the Style Savvy
series, gives players a sense of accomplishment by putting them
in charge of one of five exciting professions. Players can
immerse themselves in a world of fashion by owning a boutique,
designing clothes, styling hair, applying makeup or becoming a
model. When players make themselves look good, customers who
visit their boutiques might start adopting the player’s style.
The game includes over 19,000 different articles of clothing,
items and accessories to choose from. Players can also learn
real-world fashion tips from the Fashion 101 guide. To access
Nintendo character-themed clothing and accessories in the game,
players can tap select amiibo figures to a Nintendo 2DS,
Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system using the Nintendo 3DS
NFC Reader/Writer accessory to trigger an event. Once the event
is completed, players can get the special items. The amiibo and
Reader/Writer accessory are sold separately. The New Nintendo
3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL systems feature a built-in NFC
reader for amiibo. Style Savvy: Fashion Forward launches Aug.
19.
Disney Magical World 2, the follow up to the popular franchise,
lets players enjoy a variety of new adventures in six
Disney-themed worlds, such as exploring the world of Disney
Frozen, dancing with Disney princesses or soaring through
special Magical Dream events. Players will encounter and
interact with well-known characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie
Mouse, Goofy, Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Ariel, Donald Duck and Daisy
Duck. The game launches Oct. 14.
