Overview
The New 2DS XL is the last model in the 3DS family, out in July 2017. It folds like the XL and has all the New 3DS upgrades, but no 3D screen, which keeps it light and cheaper.
It plays every 3DS, New 3DS and DS game. The game card and microSD slots sit behind a flap on the front edge, so there's no screwdriver needed to swap cards.
