Sony did the same with the Playstation Classic. The selection of games was eh and the emulation is not great but the box itself is very reminiscent of the original PlayStation packaging.
I always disliked those shirts. So dorky. It's cool if you like them, but I would rather show my dorkiness in other areas than just wear it on a shirt.
Scott The Woz feels like a character that Scott plays based on himself, but Scott’s Stash just feels like Scott Wozniak’s TH-cam if you catch my drift.
Scott's Stash 3DS videos in a nutshell: "This design was so stupid. So I bought it brand new." *opens it* "Wait, this actually is a little cooler than I thought."
The designs looking upside down when opened was the reason I held back from replacing my base small 3DS for a while. When that Zelda edition came out I got it immediately. It's perfect. The Triforce logo being upside down makes sense for that game so it doesn't look dumb opened or closed!
Ironically enough, I like to listen to these videos while playing RPGs 😅. They give me something else to listen to while leveling up or money farming, and I get to learn some fun facts about random games and consoles, so it’s a win-win 👍.
As soon as he said “this is brand new” in my head I could vividly hear wade yelling in his glorious Australian accent “can you believe no one bought this”. Dankpods is great
This model was the one I bought as my first 3ds as a teen. I still have it. It's a little busted up but it still chugs along fine. I think I even put CFW on it. The 3ds is still the best handheld for me it just felt great.
I love 3DS with CFW on it. It can do a LOT. But “fells great”? Ehhh, I’d argue it’s one of the most uncomfortable handhelds out there. My hands cramp up after about an hour of use. The Vita, OG Gameboy, Switch, all of them fell better… but maybe you aren’t talking about how it feels literally.
When I was looking to replace my old 3DS I went for a used New Galaxy Style XL, but now I kinda wish I had shelled out the little bit extra for the SNES one, lol. Love my 3DS though, with CFW probably the best handheld ever made.
This wouldn't be awful if it wasn't for the GBA SP NES edition. They put so much effort into it, then barely tried to replicate the quality for the 3DS XL special edition. I also kind of wish the Famicom GBA SP had as much effort as the NES one, but the Famicom Game Boy Micro absolutely makes up for it tenfold. They put more effort into the box than into the console itself, for Christ's sake
bought one of these second hand, the previous owner never signed in to a nintendo account, and their ambassador program certificate (allowing the GBA downloads) had not been tied to account/console. very cool when i did a transfer to a n2ds xl , the certificate came along to the new system and i sold the NES edition
The part around 14:51 with the design being flipped when its open and seen by other people reminded me of Apple's Macbooks which had the Apple logo flipped at some point for a similar reason so the logo is the right side up while its open.
This is a super cool limited version of the 3DS XL. I love how it seems that they even patterned the front of the box to look like a topside view of the old NES front-loader. This did before for the Game Boy Advance SP, as well (and that was also a really cool-looking limited edition).
14:55 It gets even worse when you notice that the Zelda 3DS he showed off earlier _got it right_ and displays the Hyrule/Lorule Triforce the correct way when it's unfolded - so that basically confirms that the designs were all intentionally made like that
i was very lucky to find that Zelda Triforce 3DS XL in an incredible condition at Retropalooza last year! It was a system the vendor had actually used like many of the ones for sale, but he really cared for all them even after moving on from them. The Triforce 3DS still came in the box and he even still had the plastic wrap for the system inside! One of the best after market purchases I have ever made, as it is now my main 3DS.
The perfect thing to see after diner, Scott Stash Notification I still think that the best 3DS variant is the Year Of Luigi 3DS xl, European edition. The one America got sucks
He talks about how the designs on the back of the screens being designed to look good when it is closed and in your hands but I feel the gold zelda 1 was designed to look best open. The triforce underneith mirrors the top triforce and I feel that is a really cool thing since the zelda game it is connected to had a dark, mirrored world and is ment to be seen from the other end. Most arn't like that but I feel that one is.
Scott The Woz, the only person to not only care about the AR cards, but also complain about packaging being changed in a different 3ds model for the AR cards.
I still think the NES Edition of the 3DS XL has some value because the other special editions of the 3DS XL, except for the Zelda one, are either all black or all white in the inside. The Zelda one is golden with black buttons and the NES one is gray with red buttons, so it gets bonus points for being more unique.
I love that even though it's specifically themed around A Link Between Worlds with the black bottom to match that game's logo, it looks like a general Zelda design that could fit any Zelda fan even if they don't like that particular game
After watching your video. Knowing nothing about this DS beforehand. I think it is designed to be put next to the packaging box. Thus having a console(box) and a controller(DS)
I had a zelda 3ds xl and I had it in a carrying case with a bunch of games and it was stolen at school. That special edition now haunts me. Seeing the two triforces fills me with dread.
"What would a modern NES edition look like?" Honestly when he said that what immediately came to mind was a design based off of the New-Style NES that you don't see used as often, it would've been pretty cool for them to make a nod towards that. (The more slim top loader version.)
I remember being an early teen when all these special 3DS models started coming out and I wanted every one of them. Such a shame they're all so rare and expensive now.
If you get the opportunity you should pick up a Pal snes 3DS or Famicom 3DS as they’re the best ones because of the curved shapes on both consoles you get edge to edge design! Plus coloured buttons inside.
❗️My Timestamps: 0:36 I bought a CIB NES GBA:SP in 2019 but sold it in 2023 as I wasn't using it; It was just for collections' sake. 3:46 I very nearly bought a SNES edition N3DS:XL but went with a dark blue one instead.
Great vid. I have the 8bitdo Famicom style N30 controllers for Switch, they look exactly like the originals / the micro, they are great. Hoping they become collector items bc they were discontinued.
I like this design. The way they put the NES controller on the front to mimic the rectangular design of the original controller is pretty clever imo, and as someone who doesn't mind how it looks in public, I find it looks great for those few moments where I'm carrying it closed or when im opening up the system. Could've definitely mirrored the design on the interior though
This was my first 3Ds and I played it until it stopped working lol,probably the best Christmas gift ever,I just liked how nobody else had it and mine was unique
I bought the SNES Edition of the 3DS XL a few months ago since the 3DS eShop is shutting down soon. Anyone else bought the Retro Edition of the 3DS XL before the eShop closes?
This definitely isn’t as good as the NES GBA or the SNES New 3DS, but this is my current 3DS that’s been with me for years so I have a soft spot for it
I'm pretty sure there was another SP based on the Famicom that actually did take inspiration from the console and controller, it was the frontlit ags-001 model, and the white and red version was an ags-101.
There was a famicom SP that was controller themed on the inside (with a gold plate), but it was much rarer and more expensive than the regular famicom one
My favorite part of this channel is that I get to tell my family that this ABSOLUTE UNIT has so many Wii U consoles and games that he essentially has a monopoly on the Wii U market and will probably own the last surviving Wii U
I really wanted the snes new 3ds xl but wow it was hard to find and now it's super expensive. Was able to grab a new 3ds xl but even those are tough to find for regular versions
they put more effort into the box than they did the console design, it's amazing
That box is amazing.
I just started learning Japanese, is your username "not Andrew"?
Almost like they their audience: People who buy special editions of consoles don't usually play them.
Sony did the same with the Playstation Classic. The selection of games was eh and the emulation is not great but the box itself is very reminiscent of the original PlayStation packaging.

Scott has weirdly strong opinions against people who wear NES controller shirts.
My 2 year old great-cousin wore one of these and I was way more pissed of then I like to admit
Because they're awkward

A translucent purple game boy color edition would be awesome. Maybe for the 15th anniversary of the GBC

regardless of the top and bottom, I _really_ like how the buttons look, on both the Snes n3ds and the Nes 3ds
You're correct. The Game Boy Micro Famicom had a 2P Faceplate from Club Nintendo Japan

I got the NES 3DS XL for christmas in 2014 and while i agree the design could’ve been better i’ve grown to absolutely love it
Seems like they designed the box better than the 3DS, like they just slapped nes_con.jpg onto the shell and called it a day
The 3Ds had so many cool special editions and as someone who never got to have one I was always so jealous
Picturing scott laying on his floor making this video is so funny
BEHOLD the best best type of notification to get
OMG YEAH
Cool!
After getting most Wii U's Scott is now getting into 3DS system-collecting it seems
Daily uploads continue!
The reason why they did that is because the box designed like an nes and the 3DS has a decal of the controller which I think is kind of cute
I’ve been feeling super nostalgic for the 3ds recently. I need to get my hands on the new 3ds system. I’ve always wanted to get one ☹️
Great video, I totally watched the whole thing
Scotts stash just keeps getting better and better
The Hylian Shield 2DS XL was the best 3DS/2DS system ever and I’ll die on that hill.
For those who are wondering, Scott paid almost $600 for this thing. Wow.
My Unckle said scott is a billionaire
Can’t wait to see you break it in a Scott the woz episode
When I was really little, I used to think you HAD to have the NES GBA SP in order to play the NES game re-releases…
:/
Love the commentary you did for this.
I had a zelda 3ds xl and I had it in a carrying case with a bunch of games and it was stolen at school. That special edition now haunts me. Seeing the two triforces fills me with dread.
The darker gray on the back side is pretty sweet though
“Hey All, Notification Squad here !!!!”
💀
Hay notification squad, all here!!
I just saw a video with "Scott" in the title and clicked in it"
Yessir
What
I honestly like the Famicom SP color scheme just as a color scheme.
Edit: I also 100% agree that the nes 3ds should have followed the SP pattern
Only Scott could talk for 16 minutes about one specific styled release of a system
I bought the Super Nintendo new 3DS XL right when I saw Scott's video where he showed his version. One of my favorite things I own.
I had the case like this when I was younger
fun fact! a used 3ds xl is now worth more than what a new one used to cost in some cases!
I have most of the 3DS models in my collection and personally this is one my favorite editions. But to each their own eh? Cheers!

I loove the Link Between Worlds 3ds. I wish it was the New 3dsxl version though :| The one they did for the new is lackluster by comparison.
“i think it’s been long enough” yeah at this point i’ve been watching 10 minutes of you talking about a closed box like i am probably in love with you
I remember being an early teen when all these special 3DS models started coming out and I wanted every one of them. Such a shame they're all so rare and expensive now.
this thing looks quite funny ngl
Agreed
I actually like the design, though they should include a few NES games pre-installed, and I'd be sold.
I genuinely thought Scott was going to go the whole video without mentioning that the controller decal is the wrong way round
If you get the opportunity you should pick up a Pal snes 3DS or Famicom 3DS as they’re the best ones because of the curved shapes on both consoles you get edge to edge design! Plus coloured buttons inside.

I remember GameStop had some super weird trade in deal where If you traded in a regular 3ds you could get this one really really cheap. I was tempted
I'm pretty sure there was another SP based on the Famicom that actually did take inspiration from the console and controller, it was the frontlit ags-001 model, and the white and red version was an ags-101.
