Update: Scratch what we said before about the Nintendo 2DS having two screens, because it apparently has one.
A source from Nintendo of America has indeed confirmed that the screen is actually one touchscreen divided by a thin piece of plastic.

The 2DS is fully compatible with all 3DS and DS games, but is not 3D enabled.
The machine has a non-foldable form factor and a square appearance, which leaves the two screens and buttons pretty vulnerable, meaning a case is definitely recommended.
Along with a 4GB SD card, the 2DS will have two cameras on the back that can capture 3D pictures and video, but cannot display the 3D unless hooked up to a capable device or transferred to a 3DS.
There is only one speaker that only plays mono sound, compared to the stereo pair in the 3DS - but a headphone jack will feature full stereo.
TechRadar will have a hands on soon, but for now, check out Nintendo's video below and tell us what you think!
