and with that... the DS Family is no more...
20 years later we might get a classic edition of the ds/dslite
no. we'll a 4 ds that allows you to summon demons from hell
PeppyMartian YES
@@oldchannelnewoneisinaboutp3726 It'll be a collaboration between nintendo and atlus
We all loved you, we all had you one time or another, and whoever hates it can go straight to hell.
The Raycon ads started as just product placement but now are horror comedies and I love it
Horror because the rations are shit
Yea too bad the product is bad all base nothing else
3ds fans: ends that was a legendary console
Ps vita fans: yes finally Sony rules handheld market
Nintendo switch shows up
Ps vita fans oh shoot
Product placement would mean we'd seen raycons in the main part of the video. Like if he showed a picture of his ds with raycons in the background.
@@Scorpiosting_1029 You can get great headphones for 80 but the raycons are just not worth it.
I knew it was dead when they said "the switch isn't gonna replace the 3ds". That's their way of confirming the replacement.
The DS isn't a replacement for the Gameboy, it's a third pillar in the company.
Allow me to make an addition: "The Switch isn't gonna replace the Wii U"
@@sukus the switch was meant to replace the Wii U, that was the point. That’s why it released so soon. Nintendo never said it wasn’t going to replace the Wii U.
Although the switch was definitely made To replace the Wii u and 3ds, to be fair the 3ds did still receive support for a few years after switch launched, unlike the Wii u.
To be fair, Nintendo clearly saw that the 3DS still had a chance to perform well, in case the switch didn't do very well they could at least continue supporting the 3DS or at least have it as an entry system, then they saw the switch did well enough and with the low 3ds game sales they must've thought "well ok people clearly are over this system so let's just wrap it up"
And people keep saying that 2020 can't get any worse
We got Jinxed

Everyones biggest fear is when their 3DS will break
That is actually true for me. I love my 3DS so much. I know, I’m stupid. :P
There’s 50 million plus of them lying around in drawers. I’m not too worried about being able to get one.
Keep your three ds as a vintage object in a glass case
That’s my Nintendo DS. 😨
Bill Cook What if you get a second hand 3DS that someone vomited on
The 3ds, the last console with a big focus on miis
I really wish the Switch was more focused on Miis.
@@hamsterstare6013 funny you say that, most of my friends on the Switch have made and use their Mii's
@@I_was_a_Bullfrog But how much can you really do with Miis on the Switch? The 3DS had Street Pass along with a bunch of games on 3DS and Wii U that had Miis integral to their design.
@@I_was_a_Bullfrog I'm mainly talking about the lack of Mii Games and features that involve the Miis.
The Wii U technically was, it was made in 2012 and the 3DS in 2011
To quote a wise man named Dr. Seuss: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
I don't think he was the one who quoted that.
DrawCatDraw! He was
This quote is on every video please shut up
I f*cking despise this quote with every being of my existence.
he died lol
That was the strangest Raycon commercial I've ever watched.
One of the strangest of any type of commercial I've seen in awhile.
I've seen stranger.
*in drunken Captain Jack Sparrow voice" "But you did watch it."
Obviously you've never seen some of Beatemups aka Wood's gimmicks for Raycon ads.
Strangest? Yes.
Also the best? Also yes.
I miss the Streetpass. That was fun a it’s peak and when the Switch came out, I’ve not seen any passes since. Sad the Switch can’t have something similar.
Personally I've had my 2ds since christmas 2017 and even then I still got a ton of Street pass. Then in 2019 its like all the 3ds's just disappeared. The oldest Street pass I've gotten from a stranger was from like a year ago
I went to Japan in October 2019, and it was my big goodbye to Streetpass. I got 10 every day, especially in Akihabara. I sent Streetpass on my console out with a fucking bang, and I'm super happy I did. It's a great feature, and I knew that that would be my last chance to get a Streetpass ever again. I'm so happy I did it.
@@GlobinHD That may be because Nintendo had a feature called Streetpass Relay that they put in a lot of major places like stores. It would take information from the last person with a 3DS to pass by it and give that Streetpass to the next 3DS to pass it. They discontinued that in like late 2018 or early 2019.
Would be cool on switch, for stuff like miis and animal crossing designs... but it'll probably be a subscription if it comes back-
On my trip to Japan I got heaps, definitely bring your 3DS with you if you go in the next few years.
We need the 3ds community to be stronger than ever now
The Ds and call of duty was my shit
Let it rest
@waylon lewin what does that mean
have you heard of a comma?
3ds: you took everything from me
Switch: I don’t even know who you are
Yes we do
"The closing of the WIi shop was kinda our first taste of that"
*Sad DSi shop noises*
Arlo is Lying
@@ZamasuYT19 AntDude says in one of his videos that “Mario Clock was one of the good ones,” so maybe people just don’t like the DSi shop, idk. I loved Photodojo back in the day and Flipnote Studio still has a strong community.
well technically it didn't close down, its on the 3ds eShop but just missing 10 titles, they were bad anyway tho. However the 3ds eShop isn't gonna be around for much longer.
@@koolaid33 Hey, Photodojo and FacePilot were masterpieces! :p
@@koolaid33 nooo I still need games on their :(
Man, I'm gonna miss dual screens. It seemed like such a stupid gimmick at the time, but it was so amazing having a separate screen for extra information like maps and enemy info. Fire Emblem's ease of information access and system efficiency PEAKED with the 3DS games. All of the information you'd ever need about a unit kept on one simple screen for easy access. Meanwhile we have other FE games that feel the need to fill three to four goddamned pages with information. Such a shame.
Yeah, I'm gonna miss the dual screen too. That second screen was so helpful to play Monster Hunter. I wish Switch had something similar.
I loved those too! They created such a good effect with the games and menus
Yeah but it was time, I feel like most devs got everything they wanted out of the dual-screen concept. The 3DS had a good life so it feels like it's the right time to it to bed.
@@thegreygoblin5165 Nah, the best stuff the second screen was used for isn't something you can run out of ideas for. It was a huge convenience feature.
the ds and 3ds era was probably my favourite time in handheld gaming so many memories and fun. RIP
"The 3DS ran, so the Switch could run... super... a lot... super duper... just a l- really fast. Also very fast." Is one of my favourite Arlo lines so far this year.
I damn Loved the 3DS and i refuse to give it up. I still use it, and i bet, so are others.
I use mine
Im still trying to complete 3d land and ocarina of time 3d
Arlo is Lying
I still have my ds and 3ds, but my ds is broke :(
3ds: you took everything from me
Switch: I don’t even know who you are
Omg thats just basically what happened haha
Arlo is Lying
@@ZamasuYT19 no he didn't wtf are you talking about
now if only all the 3ds games weren't being sold for launch prices lmao, only nintendo
Mario kart is still $30.
I got New Leaf for 20 Dollars. What a good deal
@@nootdoot1893 New Leaf is in Nintendo Selects, and $20 is the price of every Nintendo Select game, the price is permanent.
@@darius3235 after realizing, yes thats true. Completely forgot Selects had permanent prices of 20. Still worth it. So much time I ended up putting in these.
@@nootdoot1893 Yeah, I'm more of a action adventure and racing person, but I guess I should try this type of game.
Arlo: debates about getting a second 3DS to be used when his OG inevitably dies
Also Arlo: *BUYS THE ENTIRE SWITCH STARLINK STOCK WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT*
Why would it die? If you take care of it, it won't die. Besides, you can always repair it...
spaceflight fan: "when did nintendo partner with spacex?!"
@@michaelkorn361 Everything dies eventually no matter how much you take care of it.
@@claudiolluberes111 its true to living beings, not devices. You can swap things and it will still run like a champ. Besides, you can remake it years later
Michael Korn not everyone is as handy as you. Yes we can all also have six packs, entirely possible yet very few of us actually have the will and motivation to do it.
The 3DS took us everywhere from the island of Tomodachi Life to Kalos. Quite a legendary console, rest in peace
From animal crossing to the mushroom Kingdom,to planet popstar to the alola region too...
Hands down my favorite dedicated gaming handheld console.
@@heavydonkeykong5190 I like the 2DS XL best with a grip add-on, it's just gonna be a pain to change the battery in mine down the road.
Rest in peace? No. May it last many more years without official support, bringing us joy post it's production life. It's not dead until the last unit no longer works.
Yeah it was great
Arlo really just put Kid Icarus: Uprising onscreen while talking about 3DS games that the Switch probably can't emulate.
You really didn't have to do that to me.
Oof, yeah... If only Switch had touchscreen... even then, I can't imagine how you'd hold the console while tapping to shoot. KI:U was already painful enough on our hands lol. Maybe if they made aiming automatic...? Ah, but that would just cause a whole slew of other issues. Bummer... Hopefully we'll at least get a new Kid Icarus game for the Switch someday.
@@bugjams bruh wouldnt they just need to tweek the controls
@@benhagood9591 Would be very difficult to find the right balance. Let's assume you aim with one of the two joysticks, it would either have to be REALLY sensitive, or not very sensitive which would end up making it slow to aim.
@@bugjams Could do a splatoon thing with really sensitive stick and more fine tune gyro
@@bugjams The switch does have touchscreen? i don't know what you're talking about man
Honestly, I'm still playing my 3DS more than my Switch these days.
Same my brother bought my little brother a switch back in 2018 Christmas and I don't touch it at all. I use to play smash ultimate but not anymore I still love playing the 3ds to this day.
Drop, then sideways.
Arlo's sadness is palpable.
That made me legit laugh like whaaa....
Am I the only one who didn’t get it?
@Bold One The Game Boy lasted a quite of a bit longer than than. Sure there were iterations, but it was basically still the same machine. It lasted from 1989 until 2003. That's one hell of a life span.
@@OctagonalSquare me neither.
Imagine seeing a 3ds in a history museum in 40 years.
I can't. I'll be 80 then and won't be going out much.
Lynn Taylor I’ll be 54 lmao

ikr, so sad too, the 3ds was one of nintendo's best products ever invented.
@@koolaid33 I just want to make a game for the 3DS as one last goodbye.
To me, a system is officially truly dead when the manufacturer drops *all* support for the system; that includes all online multiplayer, all e-commerce and other online services e.g. TH-cam, and all OEM-certified repairs.

2. Who’s the man behind the muppet?
You know it's kinda insane how the 3DS managed to both outlive the Wii U AND see the release of the Switch
It's also kinda insane how the main gimmick of it was basically forgotten after 2 seconds
Yes. It was amazing and insane ride.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that pumps the 3d effect at full every time I play the darn thing, love the system but this is something I'm just flabbergasted, playing the monster hunter series and Kid Icarus Uprising with the 3d effect was an amazing experience
Ima head out Nope :)
@@bonelesschickennuggets1868 Im replaying Mario 3D Land with the 3d slider all the way up right now.
I still have my 3DS that my grandparents got me. Welp, I’m *still* not selling it. :)
This console had soo many good games. Now that games stopped being developed for it, I have to think about owning all of the good games for it. Good thing I got myself a New 3DS XL Samus limited edition. I just revisited Kirby Planet Robobot and it’s a beauty on this console.
Arlo, don’t think about this too much, get yourself a new console.
Facts, 3ds was so awesome, the game selection was freaking god tier. I still remember playing a pre-owned paper mario sticker star when i was little and being so confused on why all the worlds were unlocked already lol. I also remember playing 3d land...BOY....i spent SO much time on 3d land i played it 24/7, i remember when i finally made it to the 2nd part of world 8 and beat the final boss. Man those were the days..
Arlo is Lying
Message to people who are getting a 3DS:
KID ICARUS UPRISING
Just play it, the controls aren't as bad as everyone says
It is seriously a treat, so go and treat yourself!
Yeah, I have it. I got one that provided a stand so that you're other hand can focus on the stylus controls. I understand why they needed that kind of control scheme but it would be a travesty if Kid Icarus doesn't get a Switch title. It fits there.
I mean doesn't the fact that that game comes with a stand pretty much confirm that the current control scheme is crap? Sakurai knew that but of course fixing that wasn't high on his priority list.
@@Tim-007 Once you get the stand, you're fine. And beyond the controls (this game really needed twin-stick), it's fantastic. It looks good for its system, the soundtrack rocks, gameplay is fast and fun, and the writing is that rare kind that you can take seriously yet isn't full of itself (unlike modern final fantasy, yeesh).
The controlls take some getting used to. But after 2 chapters they clicked and I love them since. I found the controlls are amazing. I never used the stand.
Couldn’t get into it, unfortunately. I appreciate the hell out of the style and presentation, but it just felt very repetitive to me.
So long as pokemon bank is active, the 3DS will never be truly dead.
True, its just I'm scared they'll discontinue pokemon bank and then all hell will break loose in the community again!
And all of these issues could've been avoided if nintendo released a pokemon game. WITH ALL 900 POKEMON IN THE GAME!. Either that or nintendo should tell gamecfreak to get off their ass & start developing Pokemon Stadium 3.
The closure of the Pokemon Bank is inevitable in the long, long term
They probably will make some sort of offline version that can talk with Home through DS download play
@@grumpyguy112 you not see the DLC?
not gonna lie, this really hurts. I've never been old enough to experience a console I've loved for around a decade die before- it almost feels like I've lost something.
How I thought that opening was going to go:
"Knock Knock"
"Who's there?"
"Not 3DS!"
*Arlo cries*
I damn Loved the 3DS and i refuse to give it up. I still use it, and i bet, so are others.
I remember when I woke up on Christmas morning, 2014, to find the Nintendo 3DS under the Christmas tree. How much joy I had with that console is immeasurable, and I’ll always remember my hand cramps for playing for hours. Cheers, Nintendo 3DS, you had a great run! :)
I got my Nintendo 3ds system bundle(Mario Kart 7 included) along with Super Mario 3D Land on Sunday December 25th, 2011.
Got mine in 2016
The 3DS eShop ain't going anywhere for some time. Even the Wii Shop didn't close until over 5 years after the console was officially discontinued, and that was running on 3rd party servers on a console that wasn't really all that internet-connected. Plus, the 3DS, Wii U and Switch eShops are all running on the same system, so unless they decide to close the Switch eShop basically as soon as they release the next console, and they decide to create an entirely new system for that console for some reason, the 3DS eShop will be up for probably over a decade from now.
That would be great. I just wish my SD card still worked on my second New 3DS.
If it did, I would download more games on it but I can't.
Wii minis were sold until 2018 so it actually ended in 2018
And you can still redownload stuff you've already purchased on the wii at the moment

Arlo is a scammer
I too have the OG Aqua blue 3ds. I still remember I got it for Christmas when it first came out back when I was 12. I've stopped playing it as the Switch came out but I really got some good memories from that system. I had a group of friends that I would hang with and just chill and have Pokemon battles. After seeing this video I'm surprised such a little console had such a big impact on me growing up. Those were some really good times. I might get a 3ds xl too and keep the little guy going :)
Technically, you could argue that the 3DS actually has 3 screens, because the top screen has a second layer of pixels.
(EDIT: For anyone wondering about this works, because it's really cool: the lower layer is just a normal screen, while the upper layer has pixels that can switch beween black and transparent. When 3D is turned off, all these pixels are completly transparent and you just see the normal screen beneath. When 3D is on, the normal screen shows the left and right images interlaced, and the layer above displays a grating in such a way that the elements of the left image can't be seen from the right and vice versa.)
Man i like it. You are absolutely right
Plus it renders three images at a time.
Rest In Peace to my Tomodachi Life machine, your endless stream of madness shall live on through my many creations that you have inspired.
Miitopia, Pokemon Moon, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, all of ye, good runs. Long live the crazy little black brick of my adolescent years!
I ended up getting one of those $100 Mario Kart 2DSs the other day.
Same i got my mario kart 2ds for 80 bucks at target when i was 9 back in 2016

The imposter could be his alter ego bizarlo
Oh dang! Someone better start making an article about Arlo lore

Is the purple beast from Radicalsoda part of this species?
Clones.
List of games I would HIGHLY recommend:
1. Zelda, A Link between worlds
2. Bravely default
3. Fire Emblem awakening
4. Luigi's mansion 2
5. Mario 3d land
6. Zelda ocarina of time 3d
7. Zelda Majora's mask 3d
8. Fire emblem fates (Conquest has better story but birthright has cooler units)
9. Metroid samus returns
10. Kid Icarus uprising
11. Castlevania mirror of fate
12. Pokémon omega ruby / alpha saphire
13. Bravely second
14. Luigi's mansion port
IF YOU DON'T HAVE OTHER NINTENDO SYSTEMS, THEN CHECK THESE GAMES TOO:
1. Hyrule warriors legends
2. Super smash bros. 3ds
3. Fire Emblem warriors
4. Xenoblade Chronicles 3d
5. Animal crossing New leaf
6. Mario kart 7
ALL THESE GAMES ARE SO GOOD!
Also number 12. Has too much water
@@ireplytoeverything3122 I actually read the original review when I was a kid , I didn't even know barely anything about the internet but it was doomed to become a meme XD,
1-Dragons Quest 8 (only modern platform with it)
2-Starfox 64 3d
3-Kirbys Epic Yarn (Wii Perfect Port)
4-Any of the old Castlevania's from DS days.
5-Sims 3 (how is sims 4 not on Switch?)
6-Donkey Kong Country Returns
7-Zelda: OoT (the reason I got the 3ds)
8-New Super Mario Bros. 2 (only 3ds DLC I've ever bought)
9-Super Smash Bros (hilarious this runs so well)
10-Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (still perfect)

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon
also you don't play fates for the story lol

Arlo is Lying they are wrong
@@ZamasuYT19 wtf do you mean? what are you blind?
Here’s one, The 3DS ran so the Switch could fly
And the Wii U flopped so the Switch could be like “Oh Dang! Better not make that mistake again”
The 3DS and DS systems hold a very special place in my heart. I grew up with these systems. Probably sunk in 1000s of hours into my 3DS and DS. The discontinuation of the 3DS system also lines up with me entering into this big confusing scary adult word. I usually don't get emotional like at all, but this is one of the times that I did.
I was really hoping the 3DS went the vita route, with constant support of minor third parties, Sony kind of just kept it on the backgroound with a small but loyal community.These are sad news indeed.
The 3DS is such a good system and I think that video game preservation in general will take a hit the more time passes. The vast catalog of DS and 3DS games are not systems that emulate well in any other place, I mean you can run them fine but the combination of touch screen and buttons is not easily replicated in phones or computers. I really hope that nintendo in the future somehow continues the DS line, even if just to have a system to keep playing these amazing games. (A system that its not discontinued)
7:29 oh he’s gonna say 3DS ran so the switch could fly that’s a great way to put it.
Oh...
Or not...
Even when my dishwasher explodes because dish soap hiding in a pot, arlo still manages to make my day great.

@Jotbell Picklepeepeeshall The 1 Grit is strong with this one.
This one really hurts to see, and I know I’m a bit late. This was easily their console with the most character in my opinion. It had all these different apps, a camera, home menu music, it was generally a playful console. And what does the switch have? None of that. It’s bland, and has no character, it’s like an Uncarved slate Nintendo never bothered to put any effort into. That’s what makes Nintendo consoles great, is their character and ability to make nostalgic memories. And now that the last Nintendo console that had all of those things is gone, will we ever get a console of that high of tier again? I don’t think so. Nintendo isn’t how it used to be, they’ve became a greedy money making machine. This is just my take on it, but the 3ds will always hold a very special place in my heart, something the switch won’t be able to hold a candle up to. Rest In Peace 3ds, you were good, maybe even the best.
what? i know you like the 3ds but no need to villainize the switch and nintendo man i like both console
7:36
"The 3DS ran, so that the Wii U could crawl, so that eventually the Switch would sprint."
No one likes to give it credit, but the Wii U was basically the Switch beta. The 3DS funded the Wii U and because of the Wii U we now have the Switch.
You must’ve caught a cold from the 3ds being discontinued.
Might as well go all the way, Arlo, get the second generation "New" 3DS XL, if it doesn't improve the game resolution, it improves the performance of some of the games that push the limit of the hardware. they are a really nice upgrade.
'New' 3ds XL is better but i dont prefer the bulkiness of it, i like the original 3ds models better

bad in 2020? yeah. Bad in 2006? hell no, thing was fucking amazing and the games are so good it's worth putting up with the screen even now
@@stevecosmolove1045 ...The 3DS came out in 2011 though and used a different resolution than the original DS, that's why there's a pixel perfect mode for DS games by holding down select at start up and otherwise, they're blown up to the 3DS resolution.
...Uh, but nowadays, mod the 3DS, dump your games and use Citra on PC to play in a better resolution.
It’s certainly lasted a long time. A testament to how good of a system it was
And how sloppy that start was
So long, old friend. Thanks for the memories.
All those clips made me so sad. I really am gonna miss this thing
RaidCon: Shadowless Earbuds
Use this code and you'll be sailing the Seven Seas!
this is so sad. I had so much fun with the 3ds, it’s has so many good games and the fact it was able to absolutely destroy the psvita in sales, which was stronger and had better features than the 3ds, I had so many great memories with this console, rest easy 3ds, you did good.
I remember the 3DS vs PS Vita wars from back in the day.
The ps vita was the Wii u for Sony the ps4 just helped them make it through that kinda like the 3ds did for wii u
This feels like such the end of an era.
I remember getting my original 3DS so I could play Ocarina of Time 3D (a very good budget title on selects), thinking the 3D was a bit janky back then and not using it much, then getting more and more games. I since upgraded twice, getting a 3DSXL when the special edition came out for Pokemon X&Y, and then again when Xenoblade Chronicles was ported to the New 3DS, which I still have today.
The amount of hours I packed onto those three consoles combined over a 9 year period is just about astronomical to me. From not just the games mentioned above but Pokemon X, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Super Smash Bros., Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds, Kingdom Hearts 3D, and what I consider to be my favorite on the 3DS, Pokemon Moon. Just really shows off the incredible games in the library and that's just a small slice!
The 3DS was a truly great console and I'll miss a lot of the innovation that came with it's games and cherish the memories of the games I played on it
The 3DS will forever have a special place in my heart. I grew up with the wii and ds lite when I was a wee lad, but the wii u and 3ds introduced me to so many nintendo (as well as indie and 3rd party) franchises, it's the reason why I'm obsessed with nintendo now. I still have games that I'm planning on buying and playing (Ever Oasis, KH Dream Drop Distance, Star Fox 64 3D, just to name a few), so I see myself going back to it for a very long time.
Every time I hear 3DS, a tear of nostalgia runs down my cheek.
Kid Icarus Uprising. Play it.
Unless you're left-handed.
I'm left handed and honestly, it was worth it to just force myself to play right handed style. Game's a masterpiece aside from the controls.
@@thepearsinator1875 Quag's good and all, but nothing beats the OG.
Cries in lefty
@@ThePurpleCheeseMan Which Sakurai was too lazy to fix.
@@Tim-007 Does every single issue have to be about laziness? This game has so much effort put into it otherwise.
My friend is just now getting a 3ds, and I am so excited for them. They are pumped to play the 3ds FE games.
It would be nice if they'd lower the prices on the e-shop. Sheesh,...
It's always very sad that Nintendo has to discontinue the 3DS, personally I thought it was great. Can we get the 4DS now?

All jokes aside I think the whole ds line is done for
@@darthkai8242 I ment the ds line as in og ds and 3ds
Would that be for time or smell?
ima cry i’ve had the 3ds when it came out and it was my whole childhood and now it’s gone😔
Yeah, me too. So many memories and great games to go back to and play.
I’ve been sticking with my small red 3ds since October 2011 and I’ve finally been considering getting a new 3ds xl
God this hit me like a truck i remember being a young kid when the 3DS first came out and now i'm in my last years of high school. I feel old knowing it's gone
LoL!!! "I feel old"..."in..last years of high school" .. I remember when the Gameboy Color came out bub, I was 11. They aren't backlit so I had to use a giant transformer magnifying light that attached to the top, tripled the weight of the thing AND ate up batteries 3x faster than the damn Gameboy if I wanted to play anywhere that wasn't DIRECTLY under a bright lamp, lol!
SMH "..feel old" Get outta here!
^^^Sarcasm btw..., but kinda not ..
@@Saldivinorum Stop gatekeeping feeling old.
@@zephyrorsomethinh1528 did you not see the end of my comment? I end by saying my comment was satirical and you still apparently took me seriously, lol! Wow...
I will say that you're only as old as you feel. I'm in my 30's and I don't "feel old." And when I was a kid Nintendo only had ONE handheld system, the monochromatic green-screen grey Gameboy. I've literally seen every Nintendo handheld except the Switch die, and I don't "feel old," lol. JS..
@@Saldivinorum "Sarcasm btw..., but kinda not .." you admit that it wasn't satirical
@@zephyrorsomethinh1528 for a dude that's currently in school you're slightly illiterate bub. "Kinda not" implies SLIGHT seriousness, but still MOSTLY satirical. You'd think with the popularity of social media that reading comprehension would go up, but it's clearly going down, lol. Sheesh!
Man, I really wish I was able to get a 3DS again. I thought how much I missed my 3DS would subside a little once I got my Switch, but if anything it makes me miss it more. Switch has good games, but the console itself feels so... soulless, compared to the 3DS. I miss my menu music, the catchy eShop tunes, the activity log, Face Raiders, the camera and sound applications. I miss 'em.
Exactly, the 3DS had such a strong identity. And its form factor really sets it apart as the ultimate portable console. Switch Lite and PS Vita are too big and their control sticks will just snag in your pocket. Nintendo is abandoning this space for which there is no replacement. Wouldn't it be great and hilarious if SEGA swooped in and made a SEGA DS? It would be a perfect home to revive several of their beloved retro franchises to.
@@metaldiceman I think Nintendo would sue SEGA if they made they're own DS...
@@SabirTheHuman Obviously they would call it something else, and design it differently. I just mean a purely portable system, if SEGA did that they would have the corner on the market since Nintendo has backed out. And with that they'd be in a position to bring back their status as a hardware and game company in a big way.
Those are exactly my thoughts.
@@metaldiceman Nintendo make a case that covers the sticks to make it easied to slife things in and out
I'm glad I decided to softmod my 3DS right before they announced the discontinuation. It made it more personal for me knowing I'll likely still be using mine for years to come.
Alex Scheidly I’m in the exact same situation. I got an old 3ds and modded it about two weeks ago.
I’ve had an XL for ages and it’s still going strong - 10/10 recommend
Happy to say I got my first 3ds in 2021 after already owning a switch for a while and having everything growing up from gbc to the ds Lite and man was i missing out
So basically I recommend both Tomodachi Life and Miitopia, for the people who are a fan of the mii game series. I don’t know if we’ll ever get ports of those games on the switch, so you should play them on the 3D or 2ds if you can.
Also the streetpass games were pretty fun, back when people carried around their 3ds anyways...
Leo Lanteigne I always carry my 3ds with me just in case
I'd love to see a Tomodachi Life port on the Switch, I loved that game so much
Miitopia was amazing *chef's kiss*
Miitopia was really fun
Had so many memories playing smash Bros with friends on the way to school and back home.
I remember growing up with the DS family. First went from GBA to DS Lite and then to the DSI. Missed out a couple of years and got the new 3DS XL and modded it when I was in the Army. This was a system that shaped my childhood and something I will never forget.
I really hope that someday Nintendo makes a system far in the future that can play games from all four of their handheld systems. It wouldn't even be that difficult, since you would basically just need a 3DS and a gba in one system.
Man I remember when the New 3ds came out and being the most hyped I’ve ever been getting majoras mask 3D and monster hunter 4u and introducing me to the monster hunter series.
I dumped 1770 hours in MH4U alone, in terms of time, my favorite game on the 3ds
Boneless chicken nuggets same :D it’s amazing
Arlo: “3DS doesn’t have 3 dual screens”
*me playing my 3DS with glasses and 2 mirrors*
I say as long as the eshop is up it is still "in service"
I literally was just thinking about if Arlo was gonna release a final 3DS video soon. Arlo truly is a magical creature thing
And yet the Sega Master System is still selling in Brazil.
Is Brazil like console heaven
alex c not for Nintendo.
I had so much fun with the 3ds. The most fun i had with any portable.
I was planning on getting one for my nephew in a year or so but now with them being so hard to find and then not being produced, i feel sad.
I'd like to see a list of must have E Shop games to download before it closes. Games you should play on the 3DS form factor, games you never thought of but should give a shot. Etc.
I love how he bangs on the door and the door is unlocked.
Dark Arlo has locked Arlo in a closet and stolen his identity!
The Sky Temple keys have been gathered and Darklo has been unleashed.
Like Doopliss in Paper Mario TTYD
@zitsanrel 😅😅 Darklo
I got the new 3DS XL a few months ago in addition to my original launch-day 3DS. Played Samus Returns for the first time on it, and I can only recommend the new XL. Snappier home screen and better screens make a big difference regarding qol, and the better 3D effect thanks to head tracking is nice too.
i remember playing mario kart and mario 64 ds with my siblings on my 3ds and i know alot of people who have not played a game in years but thanks to the witch they have started playing again
I wish that they would do repairs for the 3DS when it breaks, I believe that there are some people who use it as a vital tool.
I use mine as a drawing tablet.
I loved the idea but it was still a peoduct of Iwatas foolish design. The 2 screens served little to no purpose for 3rd party games, the clamshell section was fragile & if it broke there goes the whole system, and the 3D was useless. The switch Joy con drift design flaw & the Wii-U i also blame him for. People praise him after he died but alot of his design decisions like friend codes, and no Voice chat i feel almost ruined nintendo. Even on the switch the voice chat app decision was stupid when on every other console its built in.
@@grumpyguy112 I also use it to keep track of notes that I don't want to misplace.
3ds after nintendo announced discontinuation: "well switch, you have to take up the mantle now.. I know you will make me and your ancestors proud.. especially where wiiu failed us."
Switch: "I will do my best 3ds."
Then a ghostly image of the gameboy shows up and a stairway to Nintendo system heaven appears. Gameboy: "come my child, it is time" both the 3ds and the gameboy leave and all that's left is the switch.
Arlo is Lying
@@ZamasuYT19 He isn't
I already have a lot of games but will definititly be buying more when prices come down! Saw a clip of ever oasis in your video and i still need that but its still €35,- euro here so will wait it out a bit.
yknow, its sad to see the 3ds go. i knew it was coming years ago, but still. its the first console i've experienced for almost its entire lifetime. i got my first 3ds on christmas day, 2011. 7 years old. over the years i've gotten countless games for the system, other systems in the family, and the system got me into multiple franchises, such as pokemon and nintendogs, just to name a few of them. i'll always appreciate the 3ds and what it's done for me. got me through rough times, given me hours and hours of fun, helped me make friends.. that will always mean so much to me.
I predict that the switch pro will be called: "switch new" just because that's how nintendo seem to do things
tms meister realistically it would be called the switch xl
Ima head out tf..
New made it stand out in Japan, but just made it confusing everywhere else.
Much like the Switch Lite being unable to switch...
The Switch XL will be a home console ONLY with no handheld functionality.
