Nintendo unveiled the 2DS handheld system last week to the great surprise and shock of basically everyone. The newest entry in the DS/3DS line looks absolutely nothing like its predecessors. And the differences are more than skin deep; not only does the 2DS not fold in half like every previous DS and 3DS system, but the 2DS is the first Nintendo handheld since the 3DS launched not to feature stereoscopic 3D.
At a cheaper price point, the 2DS could well appeal to parents looking for a bargain and even gamers who don't care about 3D visuals. It does look goofy, but we've yet to play on the 2DS or even see it in person, so we'll leave any real judgments until we do.
In the meantime let's have a bit of fun. Here are 10 Things Nintendo's 2DS Best Resembles

A slice of cake
A wedge is a tool that can be used for many things. It's also one of the most delicious shapes in existence. Case in point: cake. Happy birthday!
A Mario Kart ramp
Imagine an endless succession of 2DS systems playing Mario Kart 7, in which Mario and co. use 2DS systems as ramps for their karts. Those 2DS systems are playing Mario Kart 7, in which Mario and his friends are using 2DS systems as ramps. Imagine…
Cleaning supplies
Maybe Nintendo's going to use the dust pan- and broom-shaped 2DS to try to clean up its act?
A foam paint brush
Not sure how your walls will look—or how well the 2DS will work—after you dip the system in paint and smear it all over the place.
A pillow
You may not get a good night's rest but at least you'll have a 2DS to help pass the time.
Grumpy Cat's litter scoop
Not even the 2DS can make Grumpy Cat happy. Did you know that Grumpy Cat's real name is Tardar Sauce—spelled just like that—and that she's a girl? You're welcome!
A piece of cheese
There's nothing stinky about the 2DS. That said we don't recommend putting it between bread slices and grilling it.
A doorstop
The 2DS would legitimately work well as a doorstop. It might not work so well as a video game system after that, though.
The head of an axe
Would you rather see the 2DS or a real axe blade blast through a door in the hands of Jack Nicholson?
Miley Cyrus's makeup brush
It would explain a lot, frankly.
