Nintendo 2DS announced

Nintendo has announced the Nintendo 2DS, a cut-price version of the ever-popular 3DS handheld.

The 2DS can play all Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS games, but it doesn't have a 3D capability or a folding design.

The handheld is launching in the UK in October for £109.99 GBP and it's described as an affordable entry-level gaming system.

"Nintendo has one of the strongest and most diverse video game lineups in our history," said Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime.

"Today we're making those unique Nintendo experiences more accessible and affordable. However you play and whatever you play, Nintendo has you covered."
