It's like a tiny right analog stick, also the new 2/3ds allows you to emulate she's natively
If you consider the second stick that important, you can always add it to an old 3Ds XL...
I bought the "Circle Pad Pro" for my old 3DS XL.
For what it's worth the New 2DS XL is my favorite variant of all the DS models.
3DS XL or 2DS XL. The basic 2DS is for toddlers.

Very small handhelds are more commonly used for simple games like for the Game Boy you pick up for a few minutes. They also tend to have nicer, pleasant build quality which partially make up for the cramped controls.
The 2DS isn't even small, only the screen is. And it's just kinda crappy and made for a child to toss around.
It's still a 3DS on the inside so if you really want it, you'll get the same thing in terms of features. But you asked for opinions, so...
If you want to play DS games, buy a DSi. It’s not the most comfortable thing in the world (a DSi XL would probably be better), but it’s way cheaper and games will be in the correct aspect ratio.
If you actually want to play DS games then you should get an actual DS and not a 3DS/2DS.
The 3/2DS screens are a higher resolution so ds games are stretched to fill them, making them look blurry. You can hold down a button combination to stop that from happening but then the image will be small.
A DSi LL is a fantastic DS experience and it's hackable so you can just load up games of an sd card
The 2DS really gave me hand cramps. I suggest you invest into a clamschell 2DS/3DS, definitely.
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
I'd definitely recommend the clamshell xl 2ds or 3ds. Also if you can find it the new 3ds/2ds has a slightly more powerful processor and a second thumbstick which can be nice for emulation
