I had my first 3ds 1 week before the servers shutdown but I've been having a lot of fun playing Fire Emblem, New Leaf and Omega Ruby. It's great what the community does, they will keep this console alive. Great video great job 👍
Funny those are the exact same three games I’m playing right now. After learning about the corruption issues with new leaf though, I’m a little worried to invest any more time into it
I just got a Nintendo 3DS but I'm only 11 so I don't get that nostalgia but i feel the nostalgia and for what it is like for others that do have nostalgia
i think this console is truly timeless. it has a large library which solid games across many genres. It seems to be the last to have dual screens, which is still a novelty. The games are expansive and still fun today, and the graphics have a balance of nostalgia and pleasantness. It is also customizable especially now with the homebrew and modding scene
I just bought a 3ds, just for the zelda games ,but i keep seeing games that look amazi.g , like the robot kirby one, ever oasis, rune factory ...etci m glad about this purchase, i even think about getting an xl one, and maybe a wii u.
But Pretendo still requires to HACK your 3DS I won't attempt that just to have access to Dragon quest 7's 3DS's DLC dungeons since due to the Server shutdown those 54 DLC dungeons went WITH it.
I got a "new" Nintendo 3DS XL from someone at my school for only 5$ since it was in cosmetically bad condition and he just wanted to get rid of it. It was originally black, but after replacing the outside top shell, outside bottom shell, and battery cover with red ones. So I basically made my own "custom" "new" Nintendo 3DS XL that is red on the exterior and black on the interior. I also had to replace the micro SD card slot and speakers due to the micro SD card slot being dented down and the speakers being busted, but it wasn't difficult to do the repairs and I spent 30$ to buy the parts. So I basically bought it for just 35$ after I repaired it, which was less than a quarter than what those go for on eBay! Probably one of my best purchases ever and I'm very happy with it!
@@lizzy1519 Streetpass still functions. It's just harder to find people rolling around with their 3ds in their daily carry, so netpass is an open source way for Streetpass fans to connect online.

The clamshell design is like the gold standard of handheld mobile gaming devices, you don't have to worry about the joysticks, buttons or screen getting dirty or damaged when the system is in your bag or pocket and you still have the tactile feedback from actual buttons and not just a touch screen. Also the Switch and Switch Lite look so childish, if you see a grown man using a Switch on the train people will stare but the 3DS (especially in black or a subtle colour) looks so understated and doesn't make you look like one of those iPad kids. I wish they never killed off the DS line of consoles, I would've loved having Switch or Switch Lite performance in a 3DS clamshell. I recently bought a N2DSXL, N3DSXL and a N3DS. Love all of them
I recently replaced the C-Stick, the Circle-Pad, and the old protective glas. Plus I homebrewed it. Kinda feels like brandnew in a way right now. My GF never had a 3DS, so it's her chance to get the best experience rn with my "refurbished" console.
I always bring my 3DS wherever I go. It also fits in my pocket very well. It's also a classic gaming powerhouse. I can bring my entire classic game library with this console.
I grew up on the ds lite and I but never got the 3DS because my Mum refused to get me one or let me use my Christmas money to buy one (parcley because my sister, who knows nothing about about games, convinced her it was the same as the other DSes). Now I'm adult I can get one but I have missed my chance to use the online legitimately and access to so many games. 😢
@@StormTGD dude, buy a used one and homebrew it!!!! I’ve already done it, and it’s so worth it. Theres a thing called the “hShop” that has replaced the “eshop”. Once you have it homebrewed and you have the “hShop” - you can access the entire library for free. And it’s surprisingly easy to setup.

People who say the Vita was the best handheld (I have 2 of them) are as sleepy as Biden. The 3ds has such a great library of amazing games and that 3d effect is underrated.
Unfortunately scalpers have such a large hold on this console right now, I'd say anything under $200 seems good for a 3DS, but in reality it should be under $100, it's just that scalpers keep ripping people off sadly.
I just got my hands on a 2nd hand new 3ds xl. Where should I start, any tips? 😊 I'm most interested in completing my backlog of Zelda and pokemon games. I owned new, snes and N64 as a kid, but I haven't touched any Nintendo systems until the switch in 2017, I have so much catchup to do, looking forward to it!
Agree, I’m happy the community keeps the online stuff going through other servers, but you’re so right it’s disappointing how Nintendo continues to abandon their older consoles
I bought a New 3DS XL in excellent condition last year when I found out eshop was closing. Bought numerous games and it has been stored away ever since 😊
3ds > switch imo dont get me wrong the switch is revolutionary and really brought nintendo out of the “dark” days. however by trying to be both a home console and a handheld, it ultimately fails at being the best in either category. it’s too large to be a handheld but not powerful enough to be a home console. i love the 3ds because it just feels good to play with. the new 3ds series brings the c stick making it feel a bit closer to a modern controller with the right joystick.
Even native GBA games is incredible to have @_wallygaming_ In fact you can play every nintendo handheld on this thing, and pretty damn well at that. 3DS? DS? GBA? GBC? GB? Virtual Boy? Pokémon Mini? It can do it all 🤩🤩🤩
I can't really say a Switch or 3DS is better or worse than the other. There are a number of switch games I do really like and I like playing games on my TV but having that convenience, portable option. Though on the same merit, a modded 3DS is pretty fun to play with and there's a lot of amazing 3DS titles as well. Plus you get that library of all 3DS and DS titles, which just gives so many more available games, as well as playing all my old DS carts. Requiring a switch online membership is ridiculous, and I miss the ability to freely just use your own Wi-Fi without any memberships like in the 3DS and DSi era. Some of my favorite games of all time are on both consoles though, personally. I do hope that Nintendo brings back all those customization options for the switch though. I'd love to make custom themes for it, or at least download themes relating to games in my library or something.
The DS family will always be my favorite series of platforms. I used to own a silver OG DS back in the day, but sadly the hinges snapped and couldn't replace them. Now I have a DS Lite and 2DS XL, and I couldn't be happier. The fact the 2DS XL and New 3DS can emulate PS1 games pretty well makes it 10x better.
Is it still worth getting one? I have two, one with a broken hinge and another with a broken C pad. I've been enjoying emulation, but I know games will run smoother on the native system (particularly Monster Hunter). I would also like to restore network capability, now that I know it's apparently possible. But I've never done any sort of modding.
Honestly, even though I do remember how much FUN I had with the 3DS during its time, now that I have my Switch OLED, I'm having a VERY HARD time trying to see ANY appeal to my 3DS. I mean, my Switch OLED has (1) WAAAAY more games (my 3DS collection contains around 30 games, while my Switch collection is already around 790 games), (2) WAAAY better 1st-party AND 3rd-party titles, (3) WAY better graphics, (4) more battery life, (5) an INFINITELY better screen (in regards to size, quality, look and lighting), (6) swappable controllers, (7) docked, table-top and handheld modes (even a "tate" mode for shmups, with the Flip Grip), and (8) single-console local multiplayer capabilities. Plus, I haven't determined the exact reason for this, but somehow I see my 3DS collection and I get analysis paralysis because I DON'T feel like playing ANY of the games, while when I look at my Switch collection I get analysis paralysis because I'm DYING to play them ALL. Also, another HUUUGE advantage of the Switch over the 3DS is the VARIETY of gaming genres. On the 3DS, there are many genres that are EXTREMELY under-represented in the catalog, whereas, on the Switch, I cannot think of a SINGLE genre in which the catalog doesn't have at least 5-10 games that are worth playing. Pretty much the ONLY thing I still love about the 3DS, and that I cannot get from the Switch OLED, is the stereoscopic 3D effect! I adore it! But that's it. To me, the Switch is extremely easily the BEST console in Nintendo's history, and by a long shot.
Got one on the way! But I need some help should I sell it and get a New 3DS XL for the improvements or just keep the one I’m getting which is the Retro NES XL
Heyy so basically the roms can we download from the internet within the 3DS or do we need a computer or laptop to always download a rom, because since there new rom hacks we love to play. So does it require a computer or laptop? Or can we down any gbc or gba or ds rom hacks??
I own a Switch and Steam Deck, thinking that either of those newer, shinier handhelds would replace my interest and need for my 3DS. How wrong I was, both of those consoles just gather dust. It's just not enough to have newer, better looking games. The 3DS has just so much charm and feeling of love from the developers. And honestly, the sheer number of great titles on the 3DS is just staggering. I could seriously retire with it today and still have something to play decades from now (just playing all the JRPGs alone...)
The 3ds is cool now, but when it first released it was way too expensive and it also had no games. It wasnt until Nintendo dropped the price down and released zelda ocarina of time and mario kart 7 on it that people started to pick it up more. People also complained about the 3d effect making them nauseous and have headaches (i had those symptoms too). That also wasnt fixed until they released the new 3ds which came with better 3d face recognition. although it is good now, it is important to remember what also happened when it wasnt very popular.
I have an old 3ds xl that I modded recently and the poor thing is holding on for dear life after the years of mario kart and smash ultimate abuse. Trying to get my hands on the new 3ds xl for the c stick, extra buttons and faster download speed
I don't see official batteries on their website currently (they are marked as unavailable, I don't know if they will be available again), but I do know third party ones are being made and probably will for years to come. People still make custom parts for older Gameboys and backlight kits and all kind of things. The 3DS will likely get a similar treatment. There's tons and tons of off-brand batteries and chargers, as well as other replacement parts it seems.
Switch will always feel like a side-grade to me, because of the lack of a 3D effect. The technology was definitely there for Nintendo to add the perfected no glasses 3D they always wanted, but obviously the negative feelings towards 3D from people who love the flat life and are stuck in the mid-2000s prevented Nintendo from doing it.
I was able to procure my very first 3DS XL last week. I didn't realize there was a NEW 3DS XL or a NEW 2DS XL, which I probably would have preferred, but too late now. I have successfully modded it and even found a physical copy of Kid Icarus: Uprising, so I'm currently enjoying that game.
@@AzureRT456 It was my first time modding a system and I was able to do it successfully. I think it took me about an hour, maybe an hour and a half at most. Some TH-camrs with videos on modded 3DS's have actual links to the website that gives all the steps. I recommend finding them because the steps in that website are what you'll want to follow. To do the modding, you just need the 3DS, an SD card that fits the model of 3DS you have, and a computer with a slot for the SD card. You'll be transferring the SD card between the 3DS and the computer a lot.
@@AzureRT456 Odd. I responded to you yesterday, but I don't see my comment here. Do you see it? If not, I found the process decently easy. It took about an hour probably. Maybe an hour and a half at most. It was my first time modifying a system and I was able to do it. I just needed the 3DS, an SD card, and a computer with an SD card slot. Some TH-cam videos have links to the website that has detailed instructions on how to do it, so I found those and followed the directions.
i want to like the 3ds but i hate my new xl (not new it's pretty old at this point)... ive never enjoyed the home menu... the offset slider and dpad to the abxy buttons that make the way you hold it totally akward... also adding to the akwardness is how heavy it is... even for itself the hinge can barely hold up the top screen... and if you want a good grip for it good luck... thet dont make one you can eaither get a shitty silicone wiimote grip (i actually like love the actual wiimote grip, i dont see why people hate it)... or you can get a cheap chinese plastic one that loos just as bad as it feels... i used a switch satisfye grip cut it in half shortened it and glued it together.... still not great but it's the best you can get
I had my first 3ds 1 week before the servers shutdown but I've been having a lot of fun playing Fire Emblem, New Leaf and Omega Ruby.

Still got the 3 xl models boxed
I still carry mine around hoping to get street pass
Hopefully you get them!

Great video!
Thanks!

I looooove the 3DS!
Same! Awesome console
Nintendo banned me from 3DS online will I still be able to use pretendo?
yes
Yeah
smaller one is much better

its not that deep
at this point you basically just lose a bunch of features by not modding it so the real question is why would you not want to mod it?
Why? It’s dumb not to mod it.
Imo, you should mod it because you get way more functionality out of it, and there's 0 cons to doing it
Great video. 3DS is the best console of all time and only high IQs understand

I could seriously retire with it today and still have something to play decades from now (just playing all the JRPGs alone...)
Agreed !!
Interesting fact #1 Korean region consoles do not have an option to adjust themes. 😅
I absolutely love link between worlds and minish cap on my original 3ds
Took mine out after 3 years to play Zelda a link between words 😊
Recently I've actually found my old 3DS so I've been playing it lately trying to finish legend of Zelda ocarina of Time
Nice!
lol

I modded my 3DS and it’s amazing. I love playing on it. I got it for Christmas rather then a Switch
Awesome!!
Do you like it coz its the 3ds xl version, or even 3ds smaller version is fine?
I think they're both great, my personal preference is the XL model though
had both xl is the way to go
The 3ds is cool now, but when it first released it was way too expensive and it also had no games. It wasnt until Nintendo dropped the price down and released zelda ocarina of time and mario kart 7 on it that people started to pick it up more. People also complained about the 3d effect making them nauseous and have headaches (i had those symptoms too). That also wasnt fixed until they released the new 3ds which came with better 3d face recognition. although it is good now, it is important to remember what also happened when it wasnt very popular.
Awesome video!, I love the galaxy one it’s so sexy!
Truly a GREAT design!

I have an old 3ds xl that I modded recently and the poor thing is holding on for dear life after the years of mario kart and smash ultimate abuse. Trying to get my hands on the new 3ds xl for the c stick, extra buttons and faster download speed
That's a good idea for sure, these things will probably continue to become more collectable as well
i never even use the c stick
Still play my 3DSXL . Currently I'm playing The legend of Zelda: A Link between worlds.
my biggest concern is these systems not booting without a battery, even when plugged in. this is gonna be horrible when those inevitably go bad
Hopefully the third party market keeps everything going
nintendo is still selling official battery's on there website
I don't see official batteries on their website currently (they are marked as unavailable, I don't know if they will be available again), but I do know third party ones are being made and probably will for years to come. People still make custom parts for older Gameboys and backlight kits and all kind of things. The 3DS will likely get a similar treatment. There's tons and tons of off-brand batteries and chargers, as well as other replacement parts it seems.
I got a new one a few weeks ago and I’m really happy with it.
Nice!!
Switch will always feel like a side-grade to me, because of the lack of a 3D effect. The technology was definitely there for Nintendo to add the perfected no glasses 3D they always wanted, but obviously the negative feelings towards 3D from people who love the flat life and are stuck in the mid-2000s prevented Nintendo from doing it.
Collaborate with the gaming otter
Bought one yesterday feel better than switch
Agreed!
Been playing Shovel Knight Treasure Trove for the 3D. Also wanted to use the Amiibo for it
Had a ds when I was growing up and never had a 3ds looking to buy one soon to explore many games I never got to experience younger 👍
bestttt
Fun fact the 3ds can access a web browser and newer consoles cant
1st one he had I still play to this day
Nice!!
Where can i buy unused ds cards bro
It would be pretty hard to find them not used sadly
3ds and 2DS are great but the people selling and buying them for 200 dollars are on crack
True
Pinch Soft
Ok
Why is Nintendo Eshop showing every game currently unavailable?
eShop are dead and discontinued
Sadly it's shutdown
ok
I was able to procure my very first 3DS XL last week. I didn't realize there was a NEW 3DS XL or a NEW 2DS XL, which I probably would have preferred, but too late now. I have successfully modded it and even found a physical copy of Kid Icarus: Uprising, so I'm currently enjoying that game.
How easy was the modding process? I've never done it.
@@AzureRT456 It was my first time modding a system and I was able to do it successfully. I think it took me about an hour, maybe an hour and a half at most. Some TH-camrs with videos on modded 3DS's have actual links to the website that gives all the steps. I recommend finding them because the steps in that website are what you'll want to follow. To do the modding, you just need the 3DS, an SD card that fits the model of 3DS you have, and a computer with a slot for the SD card. You'll be transferring the SD card between the 3DS and the computer a lot.
@@AzureRT456 Odd. I responded to you yesterday, but I don't see my comment here. Do you see it?
If not, I found the process decently easy. It took about an hour probably. Maybe an hour and a half at most. It was my first time modifying a system and I was able to do it. I just needed the 3DS, an SD card, and a computer with an SD card slot. Some TH-cam videos have links to the website that has detailed instructions on how to do it, so I found those and followed the directions.
i want to like the 3ds but i hate my new xl (not new it's pretty old at this point)... ive never enjoyed the home menu... the offset slider and dpad to the abxy buttons that make the way you hold it totally akward... also adding to the akwardness is how heavy it is... even for itself the hinge can barely hold up the top screen... and if you want a good grip for it good luck... thet dont make one you can eaither get a shitty silicone wiimote grip (i actually like love the actual wiimote grip, i dont see why people hate it)... or you can get a cheap chinese plastic one that loos just as bad as it feels... i used a switch satisfye grip cut it in half shortened it and glued it together.... still not great but it's the best you can get
Nintendo knew how to milk more money by making XL model
Very nice console though
Apple is starting to make my 3ds obsolete by allowing emulators on the App Store, 3ds emulators are already in the works
I'm not sure Nintendo will allow it for too long
@@PinchSoft emulators are technically legal. Only problem is that most emulator apps are designed to emulate only Nintendo game systems
My 3ds xl is so old it turns off if i shake it a bit
