So I wanna buy myself a 3ds. Only to play 1 game, or well 2.

I wanna play fire emblem awakening, and the new fire emblem that will come out.

I don't know anything about 3ds, I don't mind about having a used one. to save some money.

My friend told me that I could just get the 2ds and it would be fine??

Anyone can tell me the best one to get and play those 2 games? As cheap as I can.

2DS is the cheapest you can get
but I'd say look at the New 3DS as well just incase as it will essentially have you ready for any exclusives it may get that may interest you

75$ refurbished 2ds - directly from nintendo (they bring it back to factory quality and you get a new warranty if i'm not mistaken, better double check if you're purchasing it)

edit: you might also wanna check out Shin megami tensei: devil survivor overclocked, it's a srpg much like fire emblem but in a modern setting with demons, loved both games

But what I am wondering is that, am I going to be able to play any game that I could play on the 3ds with my 2ds? And can I even play online with it?

There's a new game of fire emblem that is been announced on the 3ds. So will it be available on the 2ds?

the only differences between 3ds and 2ds are:

no 3d, can't close the lid, cheaper

only the New 3ds and New 3ds Xl have game(s) that can't be played by the regular 3ds/3dsXl/2ds, and so far the only game for which that's the case is xenoblade chronicles (port from the Wii game)

although eventually there will be more games for it down the road
could be neat to see an FE game in the style of Radiant Dawn on the New 3DS

Ok, then, if I want something cheap, then i should got maybe with the 2ds? I heard the 3d on the 3ds is a bit annoying and most people just turn it off anyways?

yes 2DS is cheaper
they're supposed to have fixed that 3d issue with the New 3DS

mostly annoying because you need to be directly in front of it, shouldn't be an issue for a game like FE




what's so different between radiant dawn and awakening?
