    Hey Elliot, just letting you know that an instant giveaway that it's a reshell is that on a real one you should NOT be able to see the speakers through the plastic. Which I think in the video you actually point out. So unfortunately yes, it is a reshell and a common thing I'm tired of seeing people do

      ​@@megamix5403Nintendo has quality protection, and that's why they put their seal of quality on their products (which this one even went as far as faking that. For one, they sold a used DS as a new product. And secondly, the shell is not official and it's a copy of a giveaway, raising the price it could sell for significantly. Nothing wrong with reshells if you sell it as a reshell. But it's definitely a scam to dress an old ds up as a new and rare version just to hike up the price.

      It’s not that it’s thin (I bought the same shell to use for myself), it’s the same thickness as an OEM shell. The difference is there’s not enough pigment additive in the plastic to make it opaque, leaving it translucent. I ‘fixed’ mine by adding paper against all the visible surfaces on the inside.

Its a reshelled DS made to look legit. the back of the box had warped text, like they tried to scanned an authentic box at a slight angle.

      Maybe the original box they scanned in order to make this crappy replica box was faded. I don't remember the box looking this bad in the pictures when they were originally being sold though. The box clearly looked fake, but at least it didn't look faded.
      It almost looks to me like the faded part was not printed at the same time as the rest of it, or using the same type of ink. I have no idea why they would do it like that but maybe they had a reason.
      Maybe the reason it looks faded is because they used a black DS Lite for the picture but in order to make it yellow, they just removed the red and green color channels from the image, so essentially the red and green all faded away.

    ... and yeah I could confirm it was a fake one, even if it was being sold as an English one but actually Japanese, I still own my yellow Pikachu edition DS lite, and still have the box for it too (the box being square in width and length, not rectangular)

I definitely don't remember pikachu headphones with mine (though may be misremembering). Main thing that stuck out to me was the color of this bootleg.

    China put these out all the time. First off, the special editions box was bigger. Chinese sellers would put refurbed units in a new shell, print off a box for the thing and sell it as new. There is a good likleyhood that the screens were aftermarket as well. It was the difference between them selling the units for $120 - $140 vs $50 - $80. They could sell the special editions for a little bit more on top of those figures as well.

    You should review the Tomodachi Collection: New Life Nintendo 3DS LL. It was a limited edition Japanese only model that released with Tomodachi Life. I gor it recently and it's so smooth and nice!

    Horrible firehazard battery aside, i'd be perfectly happy to own that DS. You probably paid far more than its worth though.

    I'd call this a refurb. I remember these on Chinese resellers many years ago. I'm pretty sure the box, manual and shell are all fake/repros but the hardware itself (obviously) is real and the charger might very well be. At one point, you could even find DS Phat consoles shoved into an oversized DS Lite shell which I thought was one of the more unique and interesting things China came up with.
    I hesitate to call it a fake, because as I recall they were never claimed to be genuine limited editions when they were originally sold. I believe they were claimed as brand new though, not refurb, which is obviously a lie, but they weren't priced like brand new limited editions and IIRC weren't priced unreasonably for what they were. And it was quite obvious from the pictures that the box and manual were not original so if they were trying to pass them off as genuine they weren't doing a very good job at it.

    A lot of the plastic is far too thin/translucent. The way you can see the glue on the screen's bezel through the plastic, the way the buttons are a blurry see-through mess, the shell is clearly a cheap aftermarket. I'm thinking this is a repro-modded/repaired unit from back in the day that's faked to make you think the unit is new and/or legit. The fact that the serial number that could theoretically be used to control what sort of unit it's supposed to be is worn off despite everything else being as new in the box is also far too convenient.

    If it was legit, that would have not been Tri Wing, but Y-Type. They're different standards.

    the console may be fake but at least the headphones are cool.

    If it was kept in a warehouse or store with fluorescent lighting and was exposed to it it could have yellowed like this in a matter of months to a few years.

    My favorite thing about these videos is how you pretend like you're unsure if it's fake for three minutes even though you've obviously seen enough of these to know the tells immediately lol
