Update: Nintendo Australia has confirmed local availability. The handheld will be available in Australia from 15 June, priced at $199.95 AUD.

Original story: Nintendo has today announced the 2DS XL, a flip-screen handheld in the same vein as the 3DS XL, though without 3D.

The handheld will offer the same performance as the New 3DS XL, including an NFC reader to interact with amiibo.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
