This is the first system released in 2011. It looks more like a DSi (with two cameras for 3d) than the other models.  
 
==Original 2DS==
 
==Original 2DS==
 
2DSs were released in 2013 to coincide with the release of Pokemon X/Y. The layout is completely different to 3DSs. As the name suggests, it removes the 3D feature and was marketed as the more child-oriented device. This variant of the 3DS does not fold as it does not have the clam-shell design exhibited on all prior DS models. Instead, you flip a little switch on the bottom-right corner to put and wake the system up from Sleep Mode. It is not compatible with most 3DS peripherals (such as the Circle Pad Pro) due to its different form-factor. It has one speaker on the top-left and interestingly retains the two front-facing cameras for taking 3D photos/videos. As the 2DS does not fold, a cost-cutting measure was made to only have one screen display both the top and bottom portions. Otherwise, the 2DS is fully compatible with all DS and 3DS software.

==New 3DS/2DS XL==
The New 3DS was released October 11th, 2014 in Japan and February 13th, 2015 in North America. A New 3DS/2DS XL looks more like an original DS. It also adds ZL, ZR and a C Stick, but games rarely use them. The new Internet Browser's media player uses the latter to ramp up and down in speed.
