I recently found out that Nintendo has announced the 2DS. The following information is found at http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/28/Nintendo-announces-2ds

Nintendo announced the 2DS today, a new entry-level handheld system. The 2DS will be available in North America for $129.99 on October 12th (the same day as Pokémon X and Y) and features a slate-like design rather than the clamshell seen on DS and 3DS models.
The 2DS will be available in UK/Europe (estimated £109.99) and Australia/NZ (AUD$149.95/NZD$179.95) on October 12th also.

The 2DS is fully compatible with all 3DS and DS games but does not include the ability to display games in 3D. It still features all the functionality of 3DS (WiFi, local multiplayer, etc.) and can be put to sleep using a slider that replicates closing the clamshell on a standard 3DS. WiFi can still be turned off, though it’s done via controls in the software rather than with a physical switch

“Imagine a standard 3DS laid all the way flat, and with the depth slider all the way down,” Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime explained to IGN. “Everything else is there in the system.”

What do you guys think? I think that this is Nintendo's way of just trying to pull in more cash. There really isn't that much difference between the systems apart from the lack of 3D. They claim its so appeal to a younger crowd, saying that the 3ds is for 7 year olds and older. Having said that the lower price is nice if you can't afford a 3DS.
