I wish I could pokemon battle and exchange with my friends without a subscription on Switch again (pokemon with no mega is a no for me so never played since sun/moon). Matter of fact, some youngsters that cannot work and won't get gifted nintendo online sub by their parents.

Simple the switch and Nintendo’s new business practices suck horribly

I own 2 3ds XL s, DSI XL, Vita. And love them all. I have almost 100 physical games and a few digital games. Pokemon Bank on both 3DS consoles. . I use the 208 in 1 cart for majority of DS games. So I highly recommend buying a 3ds or 2DS XL . 280 online for modded units. Think about it y'all .

The Switch and the Steam Deck both of these giants changed the way we play portably now.

Its simple. Its bevause, even though the switch is a much nicer console, objectifely. But the the games library in the switch has been really poor compared to the quality of the games on the 3ds. Mario kart 8 is basically mario kart 7 with the dlc included. Animal crossing switch added a durability system and removed content (wheres challenging island? Bug island? Challenge mode?) All the switch pokemon games have been really mediocre at best except the one pokemon game not made by gamefreak (lets go pikachu). Pokemon scarlet is a bug fest unfinished mess, pokemon arceus is empty and boring for most of the game, etc The majority of really good games you can play on the switch, are actually not nintendo games, and if you own a gaming pc, or ps5, you can buy those same games on those platforms and play them with better graphical fidelity. Now that the switch game release is starting to dwindle towards the end of its life, and since the online services are gone for the 3ds, people are realising you can buy a 3ds for fairly cheap, mod it, and have access to the entire 3ds library for free. This makes for a much better handheld gaming experience because the amount of amazing high quality nintendo games this gives you access to is massive. From the pokemon games from back when gamefreak still cared about making good games, to games that were ever only released on the 3ds like the first and only ever made ocarina of time hd remake, majoras mask hd remake, both of which never made it to the switch (why nintendo why, why , why....), final fantasy musicak games that also never made it to the switch, and many more. I havent touched my switch in months. None of the nintendo proprietary games excite me, they are unfinished and boring... nintendo games are not the same as they used to be, at all. And for the non nintendo games, id rather buy them on my pc... Meanwhile, where else will you play pokemon black and white ? Pokemon x and y? Ocarina of time hd remake? And many others. You could use one of those emulation consoles, but they are never really good at running 3ds games because of not having 2 screens. And they cost more than just buying a 2ds xl and modding it. And a modded 3ds can run gameboy advance games natively. No emulation.

Real question is why was it ever not popular?

Why he look like young Dabo??

my reason i pulled my 2DS XL (modded) out of the drawer is the dual screen. Every andheld emulator only has a single screen, steam deck, Any Odin2, Retroid Pocket, Anbernic, ROG Ally.... all single screen. The only option are Folding phone, steam deck with second screen connected, or the $900 Ayaneo flip

The 3DS modding community has done an amazing job with making the hacking process very accessible. i literally hacked my 3ds with my phone in like 10 minutes

I don’t have the stats, but I think 3ds had way better sales than the wii u which is the reason why they created the switch.

the switch 2 . could potentially be "dual screen" .

The 3DSs biggest problem was that it had no good games imo

Forever 2DS XL

I started playing Ever Oasis, it's a fantastic rpg!!!!!

i recently tried to play games on my 3ds again only to not have a charging cable that works to charge it. So i bought a new one. Once it arrived everything looked good, then black screen of death happened, so i am very sadge

The idea that the 3ds was a failure during it's lifespan is laughable. Nintendo shut it down, nobody wanted that. Everyone and their mom had one in it's heyday.

No.

Me and my dad bought a broken ds and fixed it up. My sister never let me play on her ds when I was younger so I am playing all the games i wanted to play then

If there was new for 135$ I would buy it or 100$ for 2DS.

Switch is a terrible portable console

I'm just gonna say it. I vastly preferred the 3DS and even the Wii to the Switch. I understand a lot of this is coming from nostalgia, but even in 2017 when I got a fresh Switch with Mario Odyssey, I just didn't get that feeling I once used to. All the games on Switch are good, but that's all they are. The 3DS and Wii kind of had a really good idea about what they are and they liked to stretch the games to the limit of what the hardware was capable of. A 3DS knew it was a 3DS game and was proud of it, if that makes any sense. I don't know... I really wish I didn't sell my 3DS back then.

How long the battery last?

dammit I want it to be cheap so I can buy one

What game is 0:06?

Found my 3ds brand new in the box. Just opened it few days ago. I know you can mod it but not sure which route I want to go with it. The Acekard or Homebrew.

My girlfriend and me startet playing 3DS again 2 days ago and now I'm getting these kind of videos in mass. (stop stalking me Google)

What about Nintendo 2ds?

10:18 go onto the europe or australian section of hshop, the games available in english there :)

You can install 300 games on your miroSD card.

re: xenoblade discussion, Yeah theres no way theyre NOT gonna keep making them. The series has survived 3 different publishers, and isn't afraid to reboot, retcon or spinoff. Also, I hated xbc2 as well during the first ~20 hours. There's a LOT of story filler, and the game doesn't teach you how awesome the combat can be. If you're interested, check out Enel's combat guide.

let me ask you a question

Yay

it's giving bathroom game

13:17 I've had that visual bug happen to me before as well, but for a DS game instead. I found out that just closing the 3DS and opening it again fixed it

I still have my 3ds. Battery is still full and is still working perfectly. No joke when i say the battery is full. I havent charged it for a year. Other than opening it up and playing pokemon picross for a few minutes. Its still good. The battery for 3ds is really solid.

4:15 I put mine in my bag with my sketchbook once (it has coils) and now there’s a line of scratch marks in my screen

Nah, 3DS is still dumb. The 3D feature is worse than useless, the only reason why it's better than the DS is because it can play 3DS game cartridges and DS games, along with the online store. Nintendo peaked with DSi then took a step back with 3DS.

My dad found my old HTTYD DS game in the garage last week and I’ve been playing on my 3DS. Brings back when times were simpler^-^

As a Pokemon fan this is 0% surprising...

an example of “piracy is a fair game” ahem* minecraft story mode 1&2, like yh you can buy the game second hand but your not able to buy the episodes anymore

3ds is way better then switch

I got a creeper 2ds and modded it last year and it was the best decision I’ve made

Only thing that annoyed me about 3Ds is that the stick wore out after a while. This is coming from someone who had to share his with family. Wish it was easier to replace too

I've recently been playing a ds I fixed some time ago and I think the -ds series is great. Not only for the titles (I've always wanted to play pokemon bw though), but because it's an actually portable console. It fits in my pocket and it's not like it's just my computer but smaller and less capable, it has things I can't replicate correctly in a pc (the dual screen), and it makes it feel like it's own thing.

No 60 gig day one patches, no ads, just pop in the game and enjoy.

Personally I have gone the route of getting an injection software on PC and taking my GBA roms (rom hacks included) and just creating a .CIA file that I can use to download the game directly to my device using FBI, so it shows up as a game installed on the console. No need for any emulators. Also have found that using FTPD on the 3DS and transferring the game files over WiFi tends to make it faster than using my SD card and putting it into my pc and taking it out etc. This system homebrewed is so incredibly versatile.

"did you know its surprisingly easy to mod a 3ds" theres your answer lmao

Modding and using emulator on it is the main reason

It was and still is the perfect handheld. Sometimes evolution is not always so great.
