Thinking of getting a 2ds or 2ds xl. Which one would be more comfy at hand? (lemm.ee)

Since my vita can't emulate ds games properly and I want to get my hands on different handhelds, I want to buy me a second hand model. Would you recommend the form factor of 2ds for bigger hands or are 2ds and 3ds clamshells are no sweat?

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.

You can actually still play DS games with proper scaling on 3DS-like systems by holding start and select while the game is booting up. Helps a lot, as I don’t like the upscaling at all.
