The Nintendo 2DS continues its ascent downwards with respect to pricing. The portable gaming console originally debuted October 12th, 2013 for $129.99, but had that price trimmed by $30 last August. Nintendo is making another pricing change today, taking the 2DS down to an even more palatable $79.99. At that price, the 2DS will still come bundled with the critically acclaimed Mario Kart 7. “Nintendo 2DS is the best value available for a portable dedicated gaming system and is great for gaming on the go,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive VP of Sales & Marketing. “The system has a library full of high-quality games for purchase, some in our Nintendo Selects category for less...

You can also use the bottom touchscreen to pause, play, and seek. All of these options are available even when a show or movie is playing on the main display. Like on every other platform, Hulu Plus remembers where you...

While Nintendo gets left behind in this year's next-generation console war, it's doing something a little different. Granted, Nintendo has always operated a little differently. It was the first to truly embrace motion controls on its Wii, and the Wii U shipped with a GamePad that's most definitely a first in the sector. But, with the Wii U doing so poorly that it's being forced to hack $50 from the cost of the 32GB unit, Nintendo is having to lean on something else: handhelds.

Nintendo has just unveiled the 2DS: it's...
