    I got a 2DS at a rummage sale, and the touch screen won't work.

    I went to some rummage sales yesterday. I bought a used 2DS for $25..... I should have inspected it better, the touchscreen doesn't really work. I tried cleaning around the edges with a toothbrush, and using other things. Sometimes it will get better or worse, then I clean it more, I spent hours trying to get it to work using methods I found on the internet. I don't know if just cleaning it ALOT will even get it working or not.... Blah my stupid OCD is driving me nuts over this. I can usually get it to play games that don't need the touch screen much, though it can sometimes take awhile.

    Anyone have a list of 3DS games that can be played without a touchscreen?

    Woo hoo, look at the tektites dance!

    I expect you mean that you picked up a 3DS, not a 2DS. :p

    The Atari arcade classic collection is on the top of my list. I don't recall that needing the touch panel.

    Some of these need it for optional content, and a few may need it on the start screen.

    It's a 2DS, it was made after the 3DS, and it plays 3DS games, but has no 3d function.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_2DS

    Thanks for the list, but that seems to be DS games, and I was wondering what 3DS games there are that don't need a touch screen, I have some 3DS games, and it seems like Donkey Kong Country Returns doesn't need it, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 can be played without it, but some things won't work like world selection.

    I already have multiple DS and DS lites from rummage sales, so I can play DS games on some of those fine. I do have a DS lite with a broken touch screen though, so that list will be handy.

    Woo hoo, look at the tektites dance!

    I barely ever use the 3D function on my DS.

    My eyes; they burn already.

    I'm still trying to clean around the edges to get the touch screen to work. Yesterday it was constantly going off and kept selecting things I didn't want it to... luckily I found a way to temporarily disable the touch function (I slid some paper under the screen edge).

    I've used it while playing the demo units at stores and thought it looked cool. I also use to play Virtual Boy.

    2DS: It looks like a Gameboy mated with a Tiger Electronics handheld game. First time seeing this.

    Virtual Boy: Home laser eye surgery kit.

    I think I saw one in Toys R Us once or twice and I got a headache.

    The 3D concept is cool, I just barely use it.
