A:AnswerIt has the same exact processing power. Also the battery life is about an hour shorter. Still would highly recommend considering the budget difference.
A:Answermy kids 2ds xls came with some wii-like mini games that they seemed to have fun with. But it does not come with a full feature game if that's what you're asking.
A:AnswerThe 2DS XL has a hinged screen so I wouldn't recommend it for a kid under 12, unless they are super responsible, or you have a lot of money to throw away. I would recommend the regular 2DS for any age it's about half the price and plays all the same games and is more durable by design.
A:AnswerIt'll cost at least half of the price of the model, if not more because of the shipping, the screen cost, and the repair cost. Try to do it yourself and you'll probably run around 50-60 for yourself.
A:AnswerI think it's the same price in-store or online. You can always call and ask and who knows the store may have a sale the website doesn't or the site may have a refurbished one you can buy
A:AnswerHonestly any age there are a verity of games for any age. I will say starting age 7 and above is good. I bought this system for myself I am 20 and my little brother he is 9. He’s honestly having more fun than I am. Many of the games have ratings systems on the covers so you can get an idea who should be able to play them.
