http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/09/nintendo-2ds-hands-on.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/03/nintendo-2ds-handson/)Nintendo caught us all by surprise when it announced its -- all too literally named --2DS handheld (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/28/nintendo-announces-2ds-handheld-gaming-system-129-on-october-1/) last week. But are we really surprised? For a company that found its last success with the "family (http://www.engadget.com/tag/wii/)" experience, and loves to create products (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/21/nintendo-3ds-review/) in families (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/10/nintendo-3ds-xl-review/) of their own, it's perhaps surprising that it didn't create a more affordable, more accessible handheld sooner. Either way, it's here now, and will be reaching shelves by October 12th -- just in time to make those Christmas lists. Our list is getting pretty full already though, so we spent a little time with it to see if it could make the cut.
