The secret ingredients of Limited Editions
Hi Heroes! We all love the Nintendo 3DS consoles, because they have a special Charme and character like nothing else. A unique ingredient to this formular is when you look at the Limited and Special Editions from that time, because they were often produced in only small numbers.
But they are not all the same in regards of popularity. The Super Mario Smash Bros. in this video is flying under the radar if you ask me.
Just like the Luigi 30th Anniversary Limited Edition, of which I already made a video. Here is the promised link:

Hey you out there! Wouldn’t be a nice touch, if manufacturers would let us the freedom to repair their great and awesome tech the easy way? So we can use it for a long, long time? Yeah, I guessed so. Would be a blessing. In this video you see how it’s not done. By the company who develops the tech and the guy (me) who tries desperately to fix an issue.

Heavily used New Nintendo 3DS XL holds back the truth… 😏

Hey Heroes, when I buy my Nintendo 3DS for my videos, I always go for the cheapest offers, no matter what the condition of the device is. So often it comes, that these are some surprises in the box when I receive them and do a first inspection. In this case I did not pay very much, because the protective screens and the overall condition was very dirty and ugly. But when cleaning this one, it w...

A warm hello to all the #3ds lovers out there. It came, that todays video is all about making mistakes. We all do them, we all hate them, but sometimes they teach us a lot about something and even about ourselves. I again learned, that I sometimes head into things too less thoughtful, which makes some processes more difficult and it causes more work. So take this video as a good example to prep...

So, I bought a Nintendo 3DS XL in 2024 😍
Hey dude, we have same Samus edition but mine's 2nd hand bought on discounted sales online nice finding we're both lucky.
Yeah, I also got it for a very low price. Not sure if I wanna resell it. 😁
Nice repair.
Thanks! 🙏
You should have gone to New 3DS XL model, higher clock speed and bigger RAM + can be overclocked.
I bought all of them in a rush. 😂 Still all got them, watch my other videos. But didn’t mod or even overclock.
@@HandHero0711 Hold select + Power button then choose (Overclock + L2).
@@markhovscrch4050 I‘ll give it a try. What’s the benefit?
@@HandHero0711 sacrifice battery to be drained faster but makes your game much stable (ex. monster hunter XX) but N3DS exclusive games have exception for it
I wanna buy a nintendo 3ds can I still play the 3ds? Bc I’ve heard that the online thing doesn’t work anymore someone please help me
You can buy a lot of games on eBay, which is my favorite way to buy games. It is much more satisfying to have a little cartridge in your hand, which you can sell any time you want. The prices are really stable, sometimes even rising, depending on the game. But the system is far away from dead. Can absolutely recommend. 👍
@@HandHero0711 okay thanks!, I needed that information and I appreciate that you even did answer me not all people do that!

I cannot express how much I loved your videos. So calming and satisfying... Thank you!!
Thank you for your very nice comment. 😊🫶
I had this one for like 10 years didn't know it was xl the text has been worn off
You still have or want to get one again?

good game . good video
Thanks! 😊
I have bought new 3DS SNES edition, it looks sick, so much better than regular one. I think that price is gonna rise up in upcoming years.
First step is that you get it for a good price from the start. But it is also one of my favorite editions. Glad for you! 😊

There’s another video in the making… 😎
What type of wipes did u use for cleaning the console in the beginning?
These are some alcohol cloth for medical purpose. You can see them in my video from one month ago, named „How to clean your handheld console properly!“
i love theese videos
Thank you Juan. I‘m glad you enjoyed. 😊
He can Do Mine Now😮😮😮
Sure, send it to me. 😄
I thought alcohol messes up the screen ?
No, that’s fine. 👍
All of your videos is about a 3ds are you selling them?
Yes, I do here in Germany. But not very often.
Great job on bringing that 3DS back to life.
I have this one
I really like it, because the All-Stars are on the Cover. Also the Colors are fitting.
I don't fear death but I fear the top screen replacement
😂 And there’s a good reason for it.
19:37 how did you instantly get the top cover on I’ve been trying for hours 😭
I have absolutely no idea! 😂

This and fire emblem special edition is my favorite they look super clean and simple
Absolutely. The design is on point. ☝️
Nice videos man! You got a new sub! 😊
Thanks a lot! 😊 I‘m happy you enjoyed. Have a nice weekend!
Put the link into description with the shells. Why you don't take the console apart for cleaning the plastic and use wipes instate?
I bought the shells from AliExpress. The shells are often only available for a short time and next week there is a new dealer where you can buy from. And cleaning the surfaces and the little spots and parts inbetween is more convenient than taking the whole device apart. But yeah, it would be a bit more clean at the end. 😊
@@HandHero0711 How much did you pay for them? Did they fit well because a buyer from Aliexpress said this: "thicker than the original, the bottom is more ill fitting than the top. it wasn't fitting around the headphonesl Jack and it was bulging out pretty bad ,I used and exacto knife to shave it from the inside and it fits with almost no bulge now. there is over spray inside too that makes it even thicker you need to shave some plastic off to make it for better bit it still doesn't fit perfectly. there are also some minor bubbles in the clear coat on the top shell. I love that it has the silver diagonal lines under the paint just like the original though. the top fits a lot better than the bottom but it does stick out slightly and when the lid is open and you are looking at the screen you see that the top overhangs a little. I don't think this part can be shaved down like the bottom because there are plastic clips there. shaving the inside of the bottom made a mess too. Overall not bad but not perfect and not as good as the original the console feels fatter now too."
I have this system and it's a beauty. My favorite piece. Got it super cheap, just needed a cleaning
I wish I could find those cover plates in good condition, because they are a little messed up.
Great vid!
Thanks mate! 😎
Awesome job on the video Giving the 3DS some love Console looked awesome once you were done 👍

Hello, I remember it like a yesterday when I've got a Red Super Smash Bros for 3DS Special Edition Nintendo 3DS easily over a freaking 10 years ago in christmas, it's my second 3DS after when my white 3DS went broken, but there came black spots to my 3DS XL's Screens, why and how I can fix it? Because of that, I needed to buy a whole new 3DS AGAIN in 2016 or 2017, now I have black and blue colored Nintendo 2DS XL what is a 3DS for me, because it's almost the Same Thing than a 3DS. If that'll going broke, I won't buy any new 3DS anymore, because I'll wait for the Nintendo Switch 2 what I want to believe is New Nintendo Switch XL with the Dual Screens and pencil like on 3DS, that's what I hope to see from the Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. I subscribed your channel, every Nintendo Console fans/nerds are my friends! 😆❤🔥
Thanks Leo, unfortunately repairing and therefore switching the Display is the most difficult and annoying thing with the 3DS. Check out my video „Nintendo…WHY?“ from two weeks back. You‘ll see what I mean. 😂
@@HandHero0711 yes I'll see, but can I fix black splats from the 3DS Screens?
@@Leo-pd4fc As far as I know only by replacing. 😕
@@HandHero0711 oh okay, that's sad.
6-1 against the level 3 Yoshi. Nice work. It's impressive to SD so many times in a default time match. I'm sure you'll get that dangerous dino next time
😂 it was a close one…
I brought a pear white 3dsxl from CeX in perfect condition love it ❤
I had one and wanted to repair it. The case and the display was broken. But failing repairing another one with a broken display, frightened me to try it again. 😬 But I really like the white colored 3DS XL too, glad you are enjoying yours. 😊
@@HandHero0711 it is a lovely looking console and thank you I’m lucky it’s in such good condition still got the stylus with it and sd card very pleased 😁
List of what you’re using to clean the 3ds?
Yes, I made a whole video about it. But didn’t list it. Here you go: - Plastic Spudger - Sanitizing Cloths, medical purpose - Microfiber cloth for drying - Fanttik E1 Max Mini precision electric screw driver I think that’s it. 👍
I have the new Nintendo 3DS LL version of this smash brothers special edition color way.
Hey, if you dont mind me asking, how easy is it to replace the A, B, X, & Y buttons on the n3DSXL? I'm planning to buy a pearl white one but thinking about replacing the buttons to black ones since i like the contrast. I also dont want to mess up any ribbon cables since i dont have much experience with tech
It is super easy. Follow the steps until the motherboard is unscrewed, so you can lift it. But you need to unplug a few ribboncables, recommended is a flat plastic spudger like you see in my other videos. Maybe watch my last video from a week ago (Nintendo…WHY?) and follow along the disassembly until the motherboard is loose. 👍
@@HandHero0711 how do I make sure that the ribbon cables are attached properly?
@@crustytomatosoup737 The cables are attached to plugs which have small clips you need to lift prior to release them. Later, after replacing the buttons, you plug it in again and press the clip down carefully until it clicks. Very gently pull on the cable to make sure it sits in tight.
I have a blue version of the same edition, does it make it more valuable in the future compared to regular 3DS?
Yeah, slightly. But I‘ve never seen a blue one. The rarer, the better. You better keep it. 😉
These had the unfortunate timing of being produced a lot and coming out before the N3DSXL in the US by a few months, though I believe we already knew about the N3DS either right before launch or just after, so these never built much momentum. Just bad timing for this edition, I think. Would've been super popular if it was a New model, like the Majora's Mask version
What tool kit do you use? I want a good one to try to repair my 3ds ☹️
I use the Fanttik E1 Max Mini. It’s around 50€.
siuuuuuu
😁👍
3DS era is where limited editions were the most popular, heck they stretched it out til the 2DS XL during the Switch era. My first handheld was a Pikachu Gameboy Color that was bought for me and my Gameboy Advance/SP and DS were all regular edition. Nintendo tried doing this limited edition method to Switch's but imo they're not as popular. I'm personally using a regular 2017 Switch
Yeah, you have a point. LE are kind of a thing from the past. Hope it doesn’t die like a lot of cool things in this industry in the past.
If they actually made some good limited edition switches that weren't just effectively stickers on the dock and slightly uniquely colored joycons, I might have invested in some of them. They've barely done any that affect the Switch itself and that's sad. They could at least do more with the Switch Lites. I think losing the clamshell hurt the LE market for Switch
I hate how most portable console gets the most dust, it makes it sad.
Yeah, the more enjoyable it is when you clean them and make them shine again. 🤩
So what you're saying is... Because of Nintendo's retarded design, I shouldn't ever try this.
A few months ago I did this whole process only to find that the first trace on the display ribbon (it was for the backlight) got cut when I almost fully assembled it again and I had to redo the entire assembly. I still have a few 3DS and DS models and their spare parts laying around and have not yet tackled them for the same reason. I just don't get why Nintendo had to make it so you need to roll up 3 thing ribbon cables and feed it through a sharp metal ring that can just cut them. I hope you persist and git this fixed though!
For my sanity I sold it immediately. 😂 But I feel the urge coming up to retry and beat down this demon at least for once. 😁
@@HandHero0711 too bad, but I hope you get another one to then repair successfully!
@@dyXurChannel I think I will…
I tryed this on a DS Lite, its incredibile Ass too.
😂 To retry it is very tempting, but I think I‘m still recovering from the pain…
Man allergies suck rn
True! In Central Europe we had about 20*C a week ago and then it plummeted to 5*C. So all the plants were flowering for a short time extremely and then we were left with them alone at sh***y weather. So the worst of both worlds. 😂
used to have a 3ds xl in blue somehow broke off the top screen. i didnt dropp it or anything it just one day came off. so i got a 3ds (none xl) and this one broke cuz my dumbass jumped into the water with it in my pocket
Ouch! 😭 That’s tough and hurts to hear.
watching these while knowing barely anything about console restoration is the most entertaining and calming thing ever ^_^
I‘m glad to hear that you enjoyed my video. Thanks a lot, have a nice Sunday. 😊
Yes
I agree! 👍
Where can I buy that same model 3ds? It my favorite model
In Germany via Kleinanzeigen, in the US I think there is Craig’s List. Depends on where you are from. But eBay always should do the trick. 👍
Great video! I have a couple of 3DSes over the years and one of mine started to do this :( I'm gonna try to repair it
Good luck, maybe you can avoid some of the worst things I‘ve been through. 😬
In the event you decide to try this repair again, there's actually a slot in the bottom housing to feed the ribbon cables through. At 30:10 you should be able to see this slot just under the green wire. It gives you the ability to push the ribbon cables through and slide the top housing into place.
You are absolutely right. First it was blocked by the ring from the hinge, but I released it and shifted it to the counterpart from the display. But in both cases it needs to go through the round opening and in both cases it’s very terrible to get it through. But I think I will try again someday, just for the balance. 😉
I went to a repair shop to fix a blue 3ds xl just like in the video. (It needed a shell replacement) and the guy there said it super hard and it took him “days” it fix it. It was possible to repair, but they just denied!
Weird. It’s usually done within 20 Minutes like you see in the video. But you can do it by yourself easily. You want me to make a video about it? 😉
@@HandHero0711 sure! But it’s up to you to make a video about it
@@Stev417 I think I will. Have also a good idea with what I can combine it with. 😉
