I have a real soft spot for the 3DS and the Wii U. To me, they represent a time when Nintendo was struggling and they were purring their heart out in everything they did.
This is so true! They had to figure things out. The games made during this time are so good!
This. I will always consider that era my favorite in gaming
@@NeanderMeander u missed out on kid icarus uprising and the world ends with you and so much more
my cat purrs his heart out too.
I think so too. Now all nintendo cares about is pushing switch and it's not like it's considered the best console ever. I liked the switch in years 2017-2018 but the wii u and 3ds are the prime kings of nintendo in my opinion.
I really enjoyed how the games are great because of what they mean to you and not just technical stats. I've taken my 3DS around the world and it's meant so much to me.
That’s awesome! It’s a gray probably console. I still take mine everywhere I go
so happy people are still making 3ds videos
It’s amazing how many people still adore the 3DS!
don't see enough people mentioning the nice clean edits and high production value of this video, well done. love the camera shots especially.
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching
Your videos made me buy a used, mint condition new 3ds xl for way more money than I should've spent. I had an OG 3ds which I gave away around MK7, but I've missed dual screen gaming A LOT, after owning every Nintendo handheld since the GBC. It's probably my favorite solo way to play, way more than big screen gaming. Thank you, and happy holidays.
I'm so sorry I was part of the reason you spent so much money. I just love the 3DS so much. It's my favorite way to play solo as well. Thanks for coming back to watch.
@@NeanderMeander it's okay I got it no scratches IPS top screen new battery and original box for 220 with a few boxed games, i think it's a good deal. Keep up the good content.
@@charleskuhn382 That's a really good deal! I would have bought it if I had come across it.
Love it.
@@charleskuhn382 that’s great you got it for around $200. It sucks how nowadays Nintendo and the people controlling the market for Nintendo consoles have kept the 3ds/2ds prices pretty high. As high of a cost as a new switch system and even 2x the price of one for an older console which is just not worth it at all for those prices.
I'm glad I grew up with the 3DS, it really was a time to feel nostalgic about.
Thanks for the quality video and may Mr. Iwata rest in peace.
It had a long lifespan. I think that helped it gain a ton of fans. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@NeanderMeander Thank YOU for producing such quality content and taking the time to read the comments.
The opening theme to Ocarina will always be perfect to me!
It's so good!
I don't think I've gone more than a week without playing my 3DS since I first got mine in 2013 with A Link Between Worlds. To me, it represents the Nintendo spirit far more than something like the Switch, and I'll always cherish the many memories I made with this lovable little system.
Man I never comment but I had to let you know! The quality and story telling of your vids are superb. I personally love all the 3ds content since I have many similar memories with the system myself. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! These take a while to make. I appreciate the kind words.
They are legendary 🙌🏾 👏🏾
The 3ds is very special to me as well, the 999 series and the phoenix wright series especially are gems I always replay, but theres just so many good ones to name as honorable mentions, devil survivor, smt iv, bowsers inside story, fire emblem echoes, etc. It just keeps on giving!
There are so many! I’ll have to revisit this subject again in the future.
One that I can not live without is fantasy life. Such a underrated gem.
A few people have said that game is really good. Maybe it's time for me to find a copy
Jeez I've just recently discovered and started playing fantasy life. I am hooked! Totally agree
The 3DS is and will probably always be my favorite handheld ever. While I love and play my Switch a lot, it’s because I have a backlog of new games I want to go through. But as far as the device itself goes…. The way the 3DS XL feels in my hands is unmatched. I do prefer the more stable solid feeling of the original 3DS, the XL is just curvy and fits perfectly. The game library is unmatched and that is more than nostalgia speaking when I say that. Usually once a new gen console comes out I move on to that almost exclusively but I’ll never let go of my 3DS. It’s gotten me through so many tough time and where it doesn’t rely on Wi-Fi nearly as much as the Switch and battery life is still killer, when I’m on a long haul flight or ride there is nothing else I’d rather have. I remember I’d get so excited when my StreetPass notifications popped up. That was such an awesome feature. I’m 36 now and my son will be 18 tomorrow. I remember when her was 5 or 6, he and I both wanted a DS or 3DS. I saved and saved and saved, going to college and working as a single mom at 23 with a 5 year old, picking up overtime and odd jobs until I could save the money. I wouldn’t buy myself one until I had the money for both of us to get them. I remember him doing chores for allowance from me and other family, and he was so so so intent on helping me save up the money, not realizing the allowance he got from me wasn’t just coming from thin air and it was coming from the same place. I never told him and we did it together. We both got DSi XL’s and we had a BLAST! It taught my son the value of hard work, money and saving… and I got a priceless treasured experiences with my kid that we still hold dear today. Now I log into his account on Switch to cook meals for him in BotW to make sure he always has enough lol. I’m sorry for the long convoluted story but these memories just kept flooding in. The DS and 3DS will forever have a special place in my heart and I have no reason to not keep playing it today. ❤
Wow, this was a great read. Thank you for sharing! I can't even imagine having a 5 year old at 23. It's sounds like you've grown through the tough times. It's really nice reading that gaming brought you closer to your son. That's really great! The 3DS mean so much to so many people. It's sad to see Nintendo leaving it behind. Though, through modding, it will never go away. Thank you again
This was a beautifully made video! I feel your passion! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it
Randomly found this channel by chance, and it’s quickly become my favorite channel. I love the camera work and vibe you’ve got going on with your work.
This was so great to read! Thank you so much for watching my videos. I’m really glad you like them
The quality of this video is crazy. Better than many big youtubers. Keep at it and I'm sure you'l go places
Wow, thanks!
I just love your channel and how much love you have for the 3DS. It’s my favourite console too and I love seeing your videos about it!
Thank you so much! I honestly appreciate your kind words. They take a lot of work to make, hearing nice things about them makes it worth the effort. Thank you again
It's the best video about 3DS I've ever seen!!! Thank you so much!!! 💓
Wow, thank you! I’m so glad you liked it
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video like yours, and in the age of constant content oversaturation, that is sincerely a compliment. Keep up the awesome work!
Wow, thank you! I honestly appreciate this. I'm working on a new video right now.
God I just discovered your channel and I love your aesthetic !! This cozy / chill way to present your picks is genius !
I'm glad you found it!
Man i just discovered your channel and just loving all the videos, youve created this homely/interesting/nostralgic superblend of Nintendo videos im just vibing too! Look forward to more!
Wow, thank you so much! This was really great to read today. I'm really happy you like the videos I've made so far. I appreciate you letting me know.
The quality of this video is out of this world, so I'd like to share my appreciation by commenting.
The 3DS holds a special place in my heart for being one of the few things that actually filled me with wonder. It made me experience amazing worlds and allowed me to take my first steps in franchises such as Super Mario, Zelda and Pokémon. I got to play all time classics as well as more modern ones with that console.
It was such a great console that when my OG 3DS got stolen I didn't flinch to get a new one. Now my New 3DS XL is one of my most cherished possessions. So thank you a lot for highlighting what an amazing and lovable little thing it is.
Thank you so much for saying such nice things about this video. The 3DS really brought me back into gaming. If it hadn't have been for the excellent library of games and having access to the retro games on the Virtual Console, I probably wouldn't be playing games today. It's a wonderful little device. I'm glad you like it too
Still playing it right now. Went into a complete ATLUS binge (SmT 4, 4A, Soul Hackers, Etrian Odyssey Untold 1 & 2, both Persona Q). And there are still games I still have yet to play (Majora's Mask, Luigi's Mansion, Fire Emblem Fates, plus a whole backlog of retro games). Such a beautiful little device
My backlog is huge too! After making this video, it's even bigger. So many great games are being suggested everyday
Always love seeing a new upload from you!
Thank you! It's always good to get something new out there
I was so anxious to see a new video from you, Ive played Super Mario 3d land, I loved it so much! Metroid Samus returns was amazing, that game and dread made me fell even more in love with the franchise, all the games that you mentioned are fantastic. Love your videos.
Thank you so much for watching my videos. It really means so much to me to know people like what I make.
I’m excited to dive into my 3ds more in 2023. I played Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon last year and loved it. I’m a big Donkey Kong fan so I’m excited to play through that game as well. Great list and love how you related them back to times in your life
I haven’t played Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon yet. I’ve had it for a while, just haven’t prioritize time for it. I’ll have to do it this year.
I’m a big Donkey Kong Country fan too! Hopefully you’ll like DKCR. Thanks for watching the video! It’s always good to see you here.
the editing and vocals are soo good! really enjoyed your video! :)
Thank you so much!!
I liked this video very much. Personal stories with the games and actual gameplay. It was pleasant to watch
I'm so glad you liked it.
i Absolutely love this video and i couldn't believe that you do not have at least 1 mil subs judging by your outstanding production value and the quality of your vids keep up the awesome work
Wow, thank you so much!
I like the dark cinematography. Yeah 3D land is probably the only 3DS game that I feel compelled to use the 3D.
I'm glad you liked it. I decided to give that style a try for this video. 3D Land plays fantastic in 3D
This video is great, you picked some excellent titles and this was a joy to watch.
Even after March 2023 I will still be playing mine, even take it with me just in case i get a street pass.
Hands down my number 1 portable console.
There are so many people that think like you and me. The 3DS is an amazing handheld that really should have lived on longer with a successor or new revision. The Switch is great and I love having those games with me, but Switch games weren't designed to be portable games. That's why I'll be carrying my 3DS around with me for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching
Hi, this is the first time that I come across your video and the storytelling and music is mindblowing. really good quality content. I'll look into your other video
Thank you so much! Let me know if you like my other videos too
I love coming back to this video for motivation to finish some 3ds games, plus the quality is a 10/10
Thank you so much for coming back to watch this video. I loved working on it! It's first one I did with the black background. Most of my videos have followed that format since I made this one. I'm was happy to read that you've watched it more than once. That means so much to me.
What an amazing video and really amazing console, i remember i bought it in the 2016 the new 3DS in bundle with Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and it was one of the best investments of all time for me, i really enjoyed almost all the games that were released, those you mentioned are really really great, but there are many others like kirby, paper mario, metal gear solid snake eater, super smash bros, ever oasis, dragon quest VII and VIII, luigi's mansion and many others.
Man what a console!
You got a new subscriber :)
Thanks for watching the video! All those games you listed are fantastic! The 3DS has an almost never ending amount of quality games to play.
your video is just amazing ! I got my first nintendo 3ds this year so I hope that you wil keep making videos about it
Thank you so much! There's no doubt I'll be making more videos about the 3DS.
i came across this youtube channel by coincidence, and i love the content, i love how the videos are made and specially the honest feedback, in fact i just bought a new Metroid Samus returns right after i heard you talking about it :D, looking forward to seeing more videos from you :) cheers
I'm so glad you like my videos! They are quite a bit of work, so it's always good to read thing like your comment. have you been playing Samus Returns?
@@NeanderMeander I am more of RPG fan :D, i played Super Metroid, didnt finish it tho, but id like to give this serie a good try, so ill start with Samus returns and i ordered Metroid dread too that i will start once i finish Samus R. :)
Awesome job man, you got a new sub. My favorite 3ds games are Pokémon Sun, Metroid Samus Returns and Fire Emblem Echoes!!
Awesome! Thank you! I need to jump into Fire Emblem Echoes. I've heard it's really good
Happy Holidays 🎄 the 3DS will always have a special place in my heart. It's such a system and it will be missed and remembered fondly. Here's to a bright 🔆 2023 for you and your amazing content.
It will definitely be remembered fondly. It seems to be getting more and more popular as the years go by.
@@NeanderMeander I agree! So glad I built my 3DS library before everything went up in price.
@@fredrick8691 Yes! Who works have thought it would be so crazy? Do you remember when 3DS stuff was dirt cheap?
DUUUUDE NO WAY!! I’ve been trying to figure out what 3DS games I want to pick up for the past couple of weeks, scouring through a bunch of lists, so this is perfect bro. Merry Christmas homie 🎄
Sounds like it was perfect timing! I’m glad I could help
Bravely Default and Bravely Second are the best RPGs on the 3DS! Best turn based combat you'll ever play, that it'll ruin erry other game for you lol. Plus, the game is 99% fully voice acted!
I no-lifed those 2 games back-to-back and completed them both in the span of 30 days a few months ago
@@cqllel5186 Amazing! I love hearing things like this!
This is a well made video! Enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching it
I am just getting a 3ds, and man, does this video hype me up, great work
Awesome! Which one did you get?
@@NeanderMeander A new 3Ds xl, in a kinda ugly green that I’ll fix some day but I am sure I am going to love it
Dude, your quality is insane! Expected you to be very big! Youll make it big one day!
I appreciate the kind words. Hopefully one day things will pan out
This is really helpful. I just got a 2ds and don't know what games to play. This gave me answers. Thanks really good background music too
Awesome! I'm glad this video helped you out
Wow the quality of your video, and your voiceover! Love it, wouldn't have realized this was a small channel and totally forgot I was already subscribed haha keep up the good work
Thank you so much! I do what I can to make it look good
Fantastic and very clear explanation. This console will forever be definite on the original system.
this video is beautiful, I love your style! I've gotta check more out
Thank you so much! I’d love to know what you think about them
Yo dude! Just found your channel after just getting my first 3ds and wanted to find some good games for it.
It is absolutely criminal that u only have 8k subscribers! Great video and outstanding production quality!! Keep it up!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found my channel.
@@NeanderMeander no thank you dude, your production quality is outstanding!
@@nukazee1251 I really appreciate you saying such nice things. I really try and make my videos interesting. I created to channel to change how people look at gaming videos. Instead sitting in front of a shelf of games or gaming consoles, I thought it would be nice to just showcase the games and consoles, if that makes sense. Because they don't move, the camera does.
I'm in the process of shooting another video right now. I just got a new camera and lighting rig, so we'll see how this one goes. It's a much newer camera than the one I was using, so it's taken some time to get used to it. You'll have to let me know what you think of the new video.
@@NeanderMeander I don’t know how it can get much better but I will be counting the days till it comes out!.
But also Dw man, you deserve all the praise and your videos are everything they need to be and more.
I just discovered your channel, and it is absolutely amazing. I love the arts, and your camerawork/cinematography combined with the pacing of your voice make these videos actual art! And your genuine passion really comes through! So, bravo! Regarding the 3ds, I actually only have a 2ds, and I havn't gotten many games for it. While meditating on your videos, I realized that I was kind of waiting to get a New 3ds before playing some of the great games that you mentioned here! But they are pricey! So, I am treading water at the moment. But I just wanted to say that you are great!
And I loved your video about the Switch as well. I kept delaying in getting one, because I thought the price would come down. That was a mistake, lol! But your point about how Ninetendo used to make double the games when they had two systems was something that I have not heard any gaming media outlet mention. Nor have I heard any big youtuber mention it. And I have not heard anybody mention the uniqueness of portable games from the past -- and how sad it is that we don't get them anymore. So, not only are your videos great, but you always have a unique perspective! Keep up the great work!
Wow, this was a joy to read! Thank you so very much! These videos are really involved, taking a while to put together. Reading your lovely comment made it all worth it.
I’m also happy you watched my other video about the Switch. I love the portable games Nintendo made in the past. I wish they were still making those portable focused games. Hopefully they will go back to making those great games.
Thank you again for watching and leaving such a wonderful comment! I honestly appreciate it.
@@NeanderMeander Awesome!!! I'm happy that my comment made you happy! And yeah, it makes sense to me that these videos would take a long time for you to make. They're some of the most visually striking pieces of content that I've seen on youtube! And yeah, I wish Nintendo would make portable games too! Keep up the truly excellent work!!! :)
Hey man, i watch a lot of gaming oriented videos, but i never comment anyone,.. but your edit, the atmoshpere and effort are priceless!
You just made my day with this comment. Thank you so much!
Your videos and your love for the 3DS always bring a smile to my face. You're the reason that I decided to chase variants for the 3DS. A decision I definitely don't regret. Your passion is infectious.
My list is very similar to yours. In no particular order
1. Super mario 3D Land
2. The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time
3. Kirby Planet Robobot
4. Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology
5. Pokemon Ultra Sun
Thanks for another banger of a video. Happy holidays and I hope your 2023 is full of awesome 3DS experiences. ^^
Great list! I still need to play Planet Robobot. I just got it and I can't wait to give it a playthrough
@@NeanderMeander Oh man you will definitely love it. I also put it off for a long time and was kind of going into it not believing the hype. But its definitely worthy of all the praise. Enjoy it my dude!
@@Transientimage That's good to hear! Now i just need to make some time to play it.
really like your cinematography and editing
Thank you so much! I really appreciate reading comments like this
I love the 3Ds-Family of consoles and have too many of them. To be honest, i dont have enough of them, i want them all >:)
The 3Ds was my childhood. Without that console, I wouldnt be the person I am today. My grandma had one and played Animal Crossing on it. Recently got her a Nintendo Switch so she can continue her Animal Crossing shenanigans on her own Island ^^
The 3Ds was just perfect.
Thank you for making videos about them and keeping them alive, Neander.
Edit: and much respect for answering to every comment there is.
Edit2: you are one of the first channels I subscribed to. Thank you yet again for all of the 3ds videos!
That’s amazing to hear that I’m one of the first channels you decided to subscribe to. Thank you so much! It really means a lot.
I don’t think I’ll ever have enough 3DS systems either. I just love them so much. Your grandma sounds like she is a really fun person. My grandma doesn’t play any video games. I bet it’s great to be around her.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I hope to see you here for future videos.
Very dramatic editing and narration, feels nice xD
I'm glad you liked it.
Great video as always. There's a 60FPS Mario64 hacked 3DS version out there I can recommend if you wanna give the whole game a shot. Plays really well and even the 3D effect is super immersive.
Whoa that really cool! I'll look into it
High quality video :) Love your story telling and the way everything was presented. I loved my 3ds xl. Kid Icarus, Link Between Worlds, Resident Evil Revelations, Metroid Samus Returns and Mario 3D Land are my Favorite games. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you so much for spending your time watching my video! I honestly appreciate it! Kid Icarus is a great game! I need to play Resident Evil Revelations. I actually got it loose with a used New 3DS XL I bought a few months ago. I can't wait to get started on it.
@@NeanderMeanderYour'e welcome :) Revelations looks so good for a handheld game. High quality graphics. you'll like it. Also, I started my video game channel 7 months ago and been having fun making vids. Check it out if like and ill be watching your content.
@@lenzoftruth1480 Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion. I checked out your channel. You've been putting out quite a bit of content. Good Job man!
@@NeanderMeander Thanks for checking it out :)
This is such a well edited video
Thank you so much!
It honestly seems like you have at least 1M subs with this quality of editing, camera shots, etc.
Thank you so much for watching this and saying such nice things!
YES! Back w another one thank you 🙏🏼
I hope you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Watching your videos really inspired me to re-buy a new 3ds xl after 7 years. I bought the hyrule themed new 3ds xl, and funny enough, it has dual ips screens.
Whoa! That’s a great find!
dude your video styl is awesome 11/10 i want more videos about you fav games on the 3ds pls
Wow, thank you so much! I honestly appreciate the kind words. I'll be revisiting this topic for sure. So many great games have been suggested over the last week. What are your favorite 3DS games?
I absolutely LOVE the 3ds! Super mario 3d land, mk7, link between worlds, luigis mansion dark moon, metroid, kirby ect. So many memories. Also i had pretty much the same experience as you did with OOT, hated it at first when i played it in 2011 for the first time. I put it down for a few years, came back to it and loved it so much. It is the best version of the game imo also!
I’m glad I’m not the only one that didn’t like OOT at first. It turned out to be one of my most favorite games. There’s so many other 3DS games I need to play, including Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon.
I play on my 3DS almost everyday! Had it since release and loved the fact you could download older Pokemon games on it!
Yes! Being able to download those game officially has been amazing!
I love the time stamps
Excellent content and production value
Thank you so much!
I just got my first 3DS after missing the boat on all of this. I’m loving it
Awesome! What made you get one?
broo the time stamps got me like good mood very good mood crazy good mood
I thought more people would have said something about them. Thanks for noticing
Excellent video I truly enjoyed us thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
The 3DS fire emblem titles are to die for. I played them all (it took over a year).
That's awesome!
Yess, Merry Christmas! I needed a video to set up the cita emulator on my retroid pocket 3+
Awesome! Do you like the Retroid 3+?
@@NeanderMeander it's great! Idk about the quality control issues that people with the RP3 had, but this RP3+ works great and hasn't skipped a beat yet. Runs everything 64 and under perfect with good battery life. Some 3ds and GameCube but does require some tinkering. Samus returns plays about 90%. But that's not acceptable to some. But windwaker on dolphin mmjr runs .9 resolution pretty well. I've only gotten to the forsaken fortress so I haven't tested with tons of enemies on screen as of yet. But yes, so far so good! Highly recommend - especially if you want to play all N64 at 4x resolution.
Great quality content. I agree with all your picks as well. Only one I have yet to play is Samus returns but, I'm sure its a great game.
I really fell in love with the Metroid series because of Samus Returns. Such a good game!
@@NeanderMeander I really loved dread but need to go back and beat it. I definitely want to play returns as well. Have it in the backlog.
@@90shandheldgamer Dread is also really great! I loved it! It felt like it built on what Samus Returns did, but improved on it.
This video was a great help. I’m looking to get a new 3ds xl soon and wanted to get Mario 3d land as well. Now I have a few more titles to try out
Awesome! I'm glad you watch it. Let me know which ones you end up playing
I love my DSi and I'll always keep it, but I had a 3ds and I got rid of it and have regretted it ever since. It's one of the few consoles I have ever sold. I think it's time to start looking for one. great video.
I've sold two of my 3DS consoles and have regretted it ever since. If only I could get them back somehow
Such a well made video
Thank you so much!
Thank you for creating this content. The 3ds is definitely one of the best portable consoles ever made. Kudos!!! 🙏
Thank you so much! The 3DS really is one of the best portable consoles in existence. I’m glad you like it too.
Dang your b-roll shots are so good! Especially that reflection shot of the galaxy 3DS 10:30
I believe I own all of these games but have only played half of them. In a similar way that you waited to play ocarina I feel like there is a time and place to play the best of the best. I especailly am waiting to play a link between worlds untill I beat a link to the past.
Ocarina I have started several times both on emulators and 3ds. I always find a point where I get that "stuck" feeling and put it down. Each time however I get farther, and enjoy my time playing because I know where I'm going. I think on my current save I'm at the shadow temple. I will say that Ocarina 3D has some of the best visuals I've seen on the 3DS. The green just feels so vibrant in kokiri forest (especially with IPS) and the 3D really jumps out at you
I also completed Samus Returns. I try to complete games but usually get burned out in the process and put them down. This game however made it so intuitive to explore with it's wonderful map system that I had no issue getting all the collectables
3D Land is just down right well executed, especially the boss fights. the lava and 3d graphics make the whole scene super epic and cinematic. It's hard for me to speak about specifics because the whole felt universally good.
Thx for another great vid! As always your channel is criminally underrated
Thank you so much for coming back! I was wondering if you had watched this video yet. I really like how that shot turned out too. Sometimes things lineup with the lighting and make it look like I know what I'm doing.
Waiting to play A Link to the Past before A Link Between Worlds is a smart idea. I think you will appreciate the game more. I actually played A Link Between Worlds before I played A Link to the Past. It was fun seeing that version of Hyrule in 16 bit graphics. I fell in love with both games.
I think you are right with Ocarina of Time having a time and place to play it. I had the hardest time getting into it for many years. Then one day I popped it into my 3DS and I couldn't put it down. It's very strange how things like that happen. The greens really pop in the 3D version. I completely agree with that. The 3D is also really immersive. Some of the best on any game made for the 3DS.
Again, thank you so much for coming back and commenting. I love seeing what people think about my videos. Especially if they've see a good amount of them.
I usually watch your vids day of, it just takes a bit to find time/mood to write long comments like I normally do. Especially the TMNT one since don't have much experience with that console (loved the vid though).
I always harp on how you're underrated. Though on a more selfish note I do appreciate that you can find time to give thoughtful replies to a lot of the comments that we post. I'm often waiting eagerly for your replies, like a package that won't come soon enough.
At the same time I'd love to see you get some adsense compensation for your effort. I'll be happy with either as seasons change
Lastly I've been meaning to ask since I haven't heard you say it. Is your name pronounced:
A: Knee-an-der Mee-an-der
B: Neen-der Meen-der
C: A mix of both lol
@@CreamyCaesar491 I really appreciate you always coming back to watch my videos. It makes the effort worth it. Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m glad they are people who like what I make. There’s the occasional hater, but that’s to be expected.
Option A is how you pronounce it. I had a random thought on my way to work one day. It became my channel name years later.
It's nice to see someone else with such an appreciation for handheld gaming. Your job seems to have you travel a lot; mind me asking what it is you do?
I travel quite a bit for work. I work for a factory that has products in stores and online across the US and Canada. I mainly stick to overseeing how the product is doing in the lower 48 states.
Great video and great list of 3DS games! I would add Luigi's Mansion 2 and Wario Ware Gold to it for my personal 3DS top list! 😊👍
I haven't played the Luigi's Mansion games. I have all three, I should get started on them.
@@NeanderMeander Nice, you're in for a treat then! LM2 and LM1 look absolutely fantastic on the 3DS with the 3D turned on. They both look great, but especially Dark Moon looks like a beautiful pop-up story book because of the visual style in the game and the 3D.
Great vid!
Thanks!
I love a link between worlds so much, I grew up in the 90s and I used to play a link to the past a lot so a link between worlds quickly became my favorite 3ds game! ❤️ I want Zelda games like that instead of 3D open worlds like breath of the wild
How awesome was it to get a sequel to A Link to the Past so many years after the original game!? Amazing if you ask me! Although I had the opposite experience. I played A Link Between Worlds first, then went back and played A Link to the Past. I thought it was awesome!
Great great great video, thanks a lot!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!
Great games and very stylish video!
Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thank you so much!
What i love most is modding it for DS games. Every Nintendo handheld in one device is incredible. 3DS prices are starting to skyrocket, and im not surprised. Ill be hanging onto mine no matter what.
My too!
I feel like we could be really good friends based on video game taste alone. Awesome video!
I’m so glad to know you like the games I picked. Some people have been saying my game choices are basic and boring. I think they’re amazing! I think we would be good friends too
@@NeanderMeander Nonsense! There's so many good ones to pick, and you basically picked out what you would want on a deserted island. Plus, you backed up all your choices with your own special personal memories. And isn't that what gaming is all about?
I started collecting more 3DS physical games when all the eShop stuff was announced and can proudly say I have all these games in my library! Your video wants to make me get around to finally playing DK and Metroid, but otherwise I've played the rest on your list.
@@JOMvasion Yeah, you're right. I haven't taken what those people say to heart. There are some that think a game is only good if it's an obscure title that nobody has really heard about or an RPG that takes over 30 hours to beat. Not that those games are bad, I like those types of games too. There's just something about the 5 games I listed that make me want to go back and play them over and over again.
That's awesome you've started getting physical games. What are you favorite games so far? I think game prices will start to increase in price after the eshop closure next month. It still blows my mind that the 3DS has gotten so popular the last couple of years. For a while, nobody cared about it. It's great to see it having this rise in popularity. I hope it keeps going.
@@NeanderMeander I absolutely loved A Link Between Worlds and now I really want to revisit 3D Land since I traded that in before I upgraded from the 3DS XL to the new 3DS XL. Animal Crossing was a staple for me on my childhood og DS and enjoyed all the major upgrades in New Leaf. I played OOT for the first time on my 3DS like you since I never had a N64 and greatly enjoyed that. My friend gifted me a copy of that to get me to play his favorite childhood game. I also enjoyed lots of questing in MH3 and MH4 with my college friends. I'm currently loving the Luigi's Mansion rerelease (which I also never got the chance to play when I was younger). Just so many good games that you'll never be able to replicate the experience with an emulator if you enjoy playing with the 3D effect (plus touch screen). That's why I felt it was important to scoop up games since it feels like such a unique handheld, and Nintendo will probably never make a true dedicated handheld again. I still have my GBA SP and DS and love to revisit them from time to time and remember simpler times.
3ds is incredible i absolutely love mine. there are so many awesome games and you can play the entire DS library on it too.
Couldn't agree more!
The thumbnail looks great!
Thank you!
This is such a great-structured video. Good writing, cinematography, footage, editing and commentary.
Wow, thank you! I’m so glad you liked it
All right man you have convinced me. My New 3DS XL is on the way!
Oh man, that's awesome! Which one did you buy?
@@NeanderMeander I was able to find a black New 3DS XL on Etsy with dual ips I'm so hype!
I recently finished buying every physical copy of 2DS/DS games I want to play, after I bough my first 2DS at the start of November.
I set myself a goal to play them all in 2023, can't wait to have a great year with it!
That's amazing! You'll have to keep me posted on how it's going throughout the year.
@@NeanderMeander For sure! Thanks to you I fell in love with the DS consoles again in the first place.
So far I've played Super Mario 3D Land, Kirby Planet Robobot and Monster Hunter XX...I absolutely love my 2DS.
Thank you for convincing me through your content, keep up the amazing work!
@@A_d_e_k That's so awesome! I'm glad my videos had some positive impact on you. I'm just glad you're getting into the DS and 3DS.
I recently bought Planet Robobot. I've heard it's really good. Did you like it?
@@NeanderMeander I am very big fan of Kirby. Also bought the Amiibo of Robobot recently.
I cried at the ending...it was genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. Kirby has such a unique flair and charm, that for me personally (when speaking solely about Nintendo products) only Metroid surpasses. I haven't played any Zelda game yet, so I exclude Link from the discussion (for now, as I will play many Zelda titles in 2023).
Kirby is an alien creature, strong, brave and always on the way to help others...but also looks cute, and doesn't really understand how difficult, full of hardship and universal proves of strenght his achievements actually are.
These elements combined with the low key sense of darkness his games have...it's really a unique and deep contrast.
I could go on for hours talking about how Kirby is in my opinion a miracle in the industry of videogaming (thanks to the amazing creators and workers at HAL Studios) alongside Samus from the Metroid series.
I am sure you will really like Robobot.
@@A_d_e_k Wow! I can't wait to play it now! That was really deep. Thank you for sharing
i have all of these, and i think they are great too. but like u said at the beginning its almost impossible to pick the best ones. you have good reasons to pick these games too.
It is such a great system and library i look forward to seeing you talk about many other titles on 3ds.
I'm sure I'll be revisiting this topic a few times this coming year
what the heck? this quality is amazing
Thanks for watching
The best part of the 3ds is that it fits in your pocket!! Taking my switch or Steam Deck out feels like such a chore, I've left it at home most times because it's just not practical to carry around with you. I can throw my 3ds in my cost pocket and totally forget it's even there until I need to use it
I agree with you 100%! I’ve also left my Switch behind because it’s big. Even with a backpack, the 3DS takes up hardly any room and delivers high quality gaming.
Awesome video. Wha camera did you use for the close up shots of the games??
Thank you! I love this question. Most people think it's some really high end camera. It's not. I use a Canon 80D I bought refurbished from Canon years ago.
Donkey Kong Country Returns on 3DS is my favourite game on the system, and my favourite DK game of all time
It's such a great game! Have you played Tropical Freeze?
Of Course, and I think Country Returns 3D is better, my favourite level in the game is (Switcheroo 7-6)
@@mezomoza7 The music in the factory levels is so good! I loved getting to that one. Knocking the robot chickens down when you press the switches was amazing.
Amazing job with this entry.
Thanks! I'm trying to up my game to emulate your videos
@@NeanderMeander ha. Too kind. You’ve surpassed my quality by miles, my friend.
@@GameboyZeroOfficial Now you're being too kind. I've seen the amount of work that goes into what you do.
@@NeanderMeander I pretend really well. LOL! Thanks for the love, friend.
Recently took out my 3ds xl I'm excited to start playing it again.
Awesome! It's always a good time to play some 3DS games.
I recently got a New 3DS after my original 3DS was destroyed a few years ago, and it has been my favorite gaming system... period. This was a really well done video, and though there are other games I would have included, all of these are amazing games.
I love it too. It's a toss up for me between the New 3DS XL and the New 3DS. They both look and feel great. What games would have added to the list? Thanks for watching
@@NeanderMeander I would have included Super Smash Bros, Fire Emblem Awakening, Mario Kart 7, and Star Fox 64 3DS on the list as well as what you mentioned. However, that could have easily nearly doubled the length of the video.
My new nintendo 3ds falled and didn’t work anymore. Yesterday I ordered a brandnew new nintendo 3ds for 150 euro! Thanks for another great upload. Have a great holiday!
That's too bad. I'm glad you got a new one! That's a great price too!
One game that I think is worth recognizing along with the rest of these is Kid Icarus: Uprising. This game had a full, well-voice-acted story, 25 chapters, interesting gameplay, multiple online modes, multiple gameplay types, and well over 100 weapons that can be fine-tuned through a massive weapon crafting system. Every level is fun, the gameplay is snappy, completion feels both fun and rewarding, thanks to the completion illustrations, and this was all wrapped up in one of the most charming, well-developed presentations that Nintendo has EVER pulled out of an original IP. Take ALL of this, and compact it into a 3DS game from 2012, and you somehow end up with one of the most engaging experiences on the console, and even within Nintendo history, if you ask me.
I sold this game pretty quickly after playing it. Your comment has made me want to get it again. I'm afraid to look at the current prices for it.
I respect you my brother....I've had my NEW 3DS XL for almost 7yrs and still play it to this day....the only game I never played is Mario 3d World
Thanks for watching! 3D world is a great game
@@NeanderMeander Respect My Guy....I respect your top 5 as well....I own them all except 3D World...Now what I'm in search for is the double pack amiibos of Samus and The Metroid...I beat the game on both difficulties but the Metroid amiibo unlocks 🔑 the final difficulty.
I absolutely LOVE the 3DS, and tomorrow, Christmas day, will be the 7th anniversary of me getting mine for the first time.
That’s awesome! What’s your favorite game?
@@NeanderMeander That is so hard to answer. I love Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, TLOZ: A Link Between Worlds, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, Kirby: Planet Robobot, and Pokemon Sun/Moon SO MUCH.
