The New Nintendo 2DS XL features a C-Stick and ZL/ZR buttons, allowing for better control in compatible games. The C-Stick enables particularly precise control as it is pressure-sensitive. The touchscreen includes near-field communication (NFC). By holding an amiibo against it while using compatible software, you can read and write data from the amiibo, enhancing your gaming experience. It is compatible with all Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS games.
