Due to arrive on August 25, 2017, the newest 2DS bundle costs only twice what New Super Mario Bros. 2 did at launch, though it’s worth remembering the 2DS also doesn’t include the clamshell design.
The company’s next tactic is a new bundle for the basic 2DS hardware, which includes New Super Mario Bros. 2 and costs only $79.99 USD.
As is Nintendo’s habit, the Nintendo 2DS included in the new bundle features a special combination of colors, different from what you will typically find.
If you want hardware with that form factor, the New Nintendo 2DS XL is a better bet (though it retails for $149.99 USD), plus it includes built-in amiibo support and a superior processor.
