Is this playable on the New Nintendo 2ds?

Ok, there seem to be a lot of mixed answers people have so I'm gonna try to make this as simple as possible Systems that will work are the new Nintendo 3ds, New Nintendo 3ds xl, and the new 2ds xl. Systems that will not work are the 3ds, 3ds xl,2ds and any ds or dsi system. This game is part of Nintendo's new 3ds systems series of games that only work with new 3ds systems. So if the name of your 3ds (or 2ds) system begins with new, this game will work. If it doesn't, it won't. So, to answer your question, yes, it will work on the New 2ds xl, but not the regular 2ds. Hope this helps☺

Does it can be playable on an 3ds xl original? Or it is only for the new 3ds xl?

This game can only be played on the "New" 3ds, "New" 3ds xl, & "New" 2ds xl. The "New" is the new tech in the newest version of the 3ds. Older models cannot play this game. The older models are not designed to play any game marked "New."

What does this mean by only playavle on a new 3ds? My son has a 3ds, but it is a couple years old. So, will this not work then?

The "New 3DS" is basically the 3DS version 2. All of the New 3DS version have a second joystick on the right side. It's a little grey nub that is up from the Y button. If you don't have that second little joystick nub, then you don't have the "New 3DS" This game is one of the very few that only work on the New 3DS, the New 3DS XL, or the New 2DS XL.

It's just for american consoles.

I'm very disappointed, this game is just for Europeans consoles, my son got very sad when we tried to play this game and it didn't work, the seller or amazon should say that this game is only playable on American consoles, and also they should sell anything that doesn't work in Europe or in my case in UK.

Misleading selling post!

Bought in November for Christmas present for my son who was very upset on Christmas Day when it wouldn't play. I assumed that it was my mistake and was going to sell on a selling site as I assumed I was too late for a refund but looking at all these reviews it seems that it did not state that it would only play on US systems. I certainly never saw any such statement. Not happy at all!

Does not do what it said on the tin!!!

Awful! Paid almost £40 and it doesn’t work on my sons new 3dsxl - purchased in November for Christmas - opened today and it’s not recognised - logged in here to see the description has now been changed to say US version of 3ds only!!! Hoping I get my money back - I’ve a very disappointed son 😥

Unimpressed

Extremely unimpressed that the information about it being only for US consoles was NOT on the page prior to purchase and in the returns email had the cheek to say that the information was there beforehand. Even more unimpressed that I now have to pay for the return from New Zealand. Like the others - an extremely disappointed child on Christmas day.

Totally Misleading

I am still waiting on a refund for this item, I now see that the description states that it can only be played on US consoles, I purchased this in November and there way no mention of this at the time, extremely disappointed & upset 5 year old on Christmas day.

New 3ds only!

Brought this for my son for Christmas, he opened his Nintendo 2ds and this wasn't compatible, my son is very upset. He is autistic and had ADHD so he struggles to register things like this. I have asked seller if I can return.

Disgusting

This game does not work on English ds’s. I have a very disappointed little boy on xmas day. Amazon you need to stop this supplier selling to British customers. Let’s hope we don’t have any problems getting a refund

Can’t play

I’m sure the game is great, however my daughter can not play this on her system. I wasn’t aware the “new Nintendo 3DS” games are only for the 3DS XL systems.

Fun game! Bought three LOL

This is our third copy of the game— Our three older kids are 8, 6, and 5 and they each have a 3DS. My oldest got one first, then the other older two got one to share. Eventually all three wanted to play Minecraft at the same time and together— awesome feature being able to play together on different handheld systems, so we bought a third one. It sucks this can’t be played on the older 3DS because a kid I babysit has an older one but has the game that he can’t play :( But other than that... we dig this game! My kids are little gamers :)
