i remember getting mine back in 2012, and wow oh wow has it seen age i lost the stylus long ago, which is not surprising the serial sticker on the back has been removed there's a small fracture in the top half of the 3DS's outer shell the circle pad had turned a grey color, showing signs of wear and is a bit loose the screen doesn't really snap, or click, anymore when you open it, it's much softer the charging port doesn't work so I'm forced to use the docking cradle to charge, which I'm fine with the bottom row of buttons (start, select, home) have dents in them due to the amount of times they have been pressed quite a few dents around the system the touchscreen's accuracy has definitely gone down, but the system won't let the calibration finish, it keeps looping the calibration i still remember when the thing was still brand new, and it's definitely had a good run. still works to this day though. interestingly, i have the ice white model, which appears to be quite uncommon as searching google images for the 3DS doesn't show much results at all for the white model, only the blue and black models. i guess this was because this color for the 3DS was only available with the Super Mario 3D Land bundle, which was the bundle i had when i bought my system, which i guess makes sense
bruh ikkk i had so much fun playin with the ar cards especially when i’m playing that fishing game and puttin the cards on a red green blue or yellow surface
@@Its_Pack77Brand new Japanese versions are cheap on ebay. I'm talking 200 for an unopened, mint 3DS, and you can always try to negotiate lower. You just have to mod it to unlock region and change language.
launch day Nintendo 3ds still running like a champ. Although my hands have gotten quite bigger lol. Just got a Nintendo switch oled because well nostalgia of playing Mario and just enjoying my time on a hand held is great. This gives me flash backs of when i was like 10 years old. I remember it so vividly. I was at Walmart and my parents told me they had a surprise for me. I remember it taking ages for them to purchase one and i got home and opened it. My first game was asphalt and i played it so much that I unlocked every car in the game. Thanks for this video man.
When it first came out I was 6... ever since then I've been asking my parents for one and I was never allowed to own one for reasons I've yet to find out... I'm finally working my way into fulfilling my childhood dream of buying my own 3DS. Wish me luck everybody, I'll update this whenever I get it.
Have the most memories with this DS, I moved to the nintendo switch when it came out but no consoles today have ever been the same as the clam shell design. That and obviously not being a kid anymore means playing games with friends or family doesn’t happen anymore.
In short, yes. If you want detailed info press "READ MORE" You want more detail here it is Gen 5 and below you can buy from the eShop Gen 6 and above are Physial Copies to buy from stores. Also I would buy a DSi XL instead of buying them from the eShop since they are usually very cheap these days in 2018.
The types of games the vita offers just aren't for me. Also sony doesn't really support it anymore. :/ Nintendo is still making awesome games for the 3ds while the vita is just sitting there dying slowly. RIP: VITA
True, but I don't think a lot of people remember it I mean it would have been a success but it was a really dumb system, good idea but it was a weird looking system.
I wanna buy one just for pokemon x and y, I would buy a 2ds considering in planning on only getting one game but...I'm interested in seeing what the 3d is like
OH GOD NO TH-cam DID NOT JUST CHANGE THEIR INTERFACE...UGH...NOW I CAN'T GO FULLSCREEN WITHOUT IT TURNING ALL RED! AND EXITING FULL SCREEN CLOSES MY CHROME...
***** Actually, I'm not lying. Therefore, I am not a *liar*. I realize it probably seems unlikely, but It's also not the first DS I ever found. I once found a pink DSL in poor but usable condition. I guess I'm just lucky. (And I have good eyes for finding things.)
+SuperKitty I think it's the cheapest way to have more games on your 3ds , and when I am going to own a 3ds I would probably buy the r4i instead of those expensive games
I still had my black one still my cosuin gave my 3Ds back so i remember i had new 3Ds blue i gave it to someone to trade it wel only had its black original i have new 2Ds i didn’t get alot of games yet busy for school
Damn good reason! I recommend getting the XL, it's only like $30 more. You get a way bigger screen, larger battery, fingerprint resistent outside, plus it feels better in the hands.
Thanks for the review! I always wanted one of these game boys, and I'm getting one this week to replace my old 3ds xl gameboy because it stopped working.
2023 and I still think the 3DS is the best handheld ever. While this model wasn’t perfect, it definitely laid the ground work for a great lineup of First Party games
10 years ago i bought mine. battery only lost 40% while sitting in a closet for 10 years, now that i found it again, battery is fine, fully works, gonna buy games for it soon, just sad that youtube aint working anymore on it
Love these comments that are 12 years ago that are so hopeful as the era opened. And the positive comments from people now looking back fondly is a brain/time trip
My auntie will order the Nintendo 3DS XL (color blue). Also my Auntie will order Wii U Deluxe Set with Nintendo Land because she went to the USA to visit my uncle. Like OMG!! I'm so so excited!!!
Yup, The price for the PSVITA is VERY ATTRACTIVE. It sure draws people in to buy it. Plus the additional memory card. Everyone loves to see the price on that!
I am going to buy a 3DS in August, probably in Flame Red. I plan to get Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Pokemon Conquest (always a huge pokenerd!), Pokemon Heartgold, and Tales of the Abyss. I was also looking at Fossil Fighters: Champions. Anyways, are there any games I should get/not get? Any accessories that are worth investing? Please thumbs up this so I can get some feedback, thanks!

can you answer some of my question?...does this console need an update?...or a wifi connection?
