Nintendo is expanding the range of its handheld console offerings with the launch of Nintendo 2DS in South Africa.

In a statement, it says the Nintendo 2DS, which will be available locally from 14 October in two colour combinations - Black and Blue and White and Red.

The device is an entry-level, handheld gaming system that plays all Nintendo 3DS, as well as Nintendo DS games in 2D.

Nintendo 2DS has kept many of the hardware features of Nintendo 3DS including the same intuitive gameplay controls. It is also backwards compatible, meaning that users can replay or discover for the first time an already existing library of Nintendo DS games.

Nintendo 2DS also comes with the same wireless connectivity features as the Nintendo 3DS, such as access to Nintendo eShop as well as StreetPass and SpotPass functionality. A 4GB SDHC Memory Card is also included with the Nintendo 2DS.

Nintendo 2DS will be available in South Africa at a recommended retail price of R1 499 from selected retailers.
