It's not FOR you, Jen
Nintendo set the Internet afire yesterday with the announcement of a (mostly expected) $50.00 price cut on the Wii U, three different ways to buy Wind Waker (including one with a Ganon action figure)
and oh yeah

They are planning to release a new redesign of the 3DS called a "2DS" on the same day of Pokemon X and Y. It's only $130.00 and looks like a tablet. Supposedly this version is aimed at people who don't want to use the 3D and for children lower than seven years of age.

Which naturally means that the Internet collectively loses their bananas.

Responses range from:
I don't get it
to it's ugly and who is it aimed at
to complaining about complaining about the 2DS is prejudice
SHUT UP AND STOP COMPLAINING IT'S NOT FOR YOU
and SCUZE ME WHERE IS MY 5DS NOW (I like this one a lot)
seriously this is dumb

The biggest trolling went on Nintendo's YouTube page, as trolls and critics went directly to the source. Hence why the announcement is now not showing ratings nor allowing comments (warning: loud 8-bit music).

You can browse the 2DS tumblr tags for more.

Luckily, Iwata and Black Nerd Rants seem to have explained the matter, as the anger has (mostly) quieted down now.

	Drunk!Me is very enchanted and maybe even touched by the notion of accessibility, and parents playing video games with their children. Although, of course, once someone brings out Mario Party, it's going to turn into an episode of... of... a thing where everyone swears at each other. That. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I tried playing video games with my child but he never took to them much, damn it. (This is actually true, though I'm not usually sad about it because to each their own and such.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	My parents bought me the first Monopoly computer game in order to get out of playing the board game with me. Dear God, no game lasts as long and causes as much angst as Monopoly. PARTICULARLY WHEN ONE OF YOUR OPPONENTS LIKES TO HIDE HIS CASH UNDER THE TABLE AND SURPRISE YOU BY RISING FROM THE ASHES OF DEFEAT. (I'm not still mad....) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And when the banker cheats. Which, in my experience, is every single time the banker is not me. Which is why I don't play Monopoly any more. It's far too true-to-life :P. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	My parents and I used to play GoldenEye multiplayer together. Someone would say, "Hey, wanna go each kill each other?" I was nine. My father was very fond of using proximity mines on the body armor and the spawn points... and one of my first spoken words was "fuck." So family game nights tended to be interesting.
