Custom Luigi 2DS up for auction, 25% of proceeds to Child's Play

4.5
Remember Rose Colored Gaming's Luigi 2DS, the modified handheld that looks good enough to be a real Nintendo product? Now that it's up for auction, you can celebrate the Year of Luigi in style by establishing yourself as the bro's biggest fan. The bidding period will conclude on November 17 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern, with 25 percent of the proceeds going to the Child's Play Charity.

Despite the interest the singular unit has drawn, the auction page explains that the unit was built under the vision of a "one-of-a-kind item, and as such, there will not be a run of more than one." The green and white color scheme is complimented with an indentation of Luigi on the back of the device.

Some collector will most likely pay some crazy amount for this I bet.

LaserShow This is blatantly copyright infringement...


Well seeming that no action has been taken against it i would think that Nintendo sees otherwise

Lavish I don't know why the person that buys this doesn't donate the full amount to Child's Play instead of buying some trash handheld gaming system.


Yes I agree they spend thousands of dollars while they can donate the full amount to the organization and they get the full amount.

So it goes for 2000 they get 500 and the guy pockets 1500? It seems like child's play is being used to boost bids. I'm not sure I like that. At least go 50/50

NDSU The 2Ds Looks So Weird but I may get it just for on the Go.


The 3DS is a much more portable console if you want to just put it in your pocket and walk around.

Everyone on here is saying how bad the 2DS is and looks. Yes it looks funny but have you actually held one? It's a nice mix of the old gameboy advance but with a much better grip and button layout. Honestly, it's worth the buy if you don't want a 3DS but want the games.

Foolish They should just donate all of the money to Child's Play.


They're a business. That being said they are doing this to make a profit, the charity thing is mainly there to draw in more potential customers.
