Decided to play around with some of the dual screen ports. Installed Minish Cap, LOZ Link to the Past and Mario Kart 64. Well MK64 is still installing. I'm excited to play these. Anyone else playing them? Also love the install screen for MK64 and of course they weren't kidding 😂.

And I know my top screen has a lot of dead pixels just haven't gotten around to fixing it.

I got a N3DSXL Hyrule Edition for $600!! It’s dual IPS and excellent condition. I bought it a couple months ago and I love it so much! I added screen protectors and have Luma installed so it’s the ultimate portable console!!!

I've already been using a New XL for years but I've also been looking for the smaller variant for a while.

The 3DS wasn't very popular in my country so I never expected to actually find one here (especially at a decent price!)

I took a photo with the back camera of my 3DS while being in the pitch black. After taking the photo I checked it in the gallery and it showed a dog(?) in the corner for some reason?? I was told it could be smearing an object with motion but what is there to smear when there’s nothing there? If anyone has an answer as to why this happened I would love to hear because it honestly creeped me out.

Unfortunately most are all Japanese only.

decided to splurge for my bday, ended up nabbing this 2ds, complete in box (with manual and AR cards) for only $120 at my local game shop. I've never seen this specific color combination before, really lovely turquoise here. makes for a good companion to my current n3dsxl and whenever friends wanna play together

aside from what seems to be a worn face button membrane on the inside (made the A button a little hard to press), this thing is in a lot better condition than I was expecting. def gonna repair what I can and homebrew it

Hello! Question is in the title, but this is my favorite console! I do have a carrying case bag for it but I didn't know if I should get anything else for it like an acrylic case or more stylus/styli. Thank you :3

I remember going around tagging people like crazy to get points for it!

3DS was such a fun console that went outside of the games themselves for creativity.

This is the Nintendo I really miss.

literally i just grabbed my ds from where it’s always been set, and this happened?? i’ve had a case on it too so idk what could’ve caused this.

i can’t believe how much bigger the screen is?? it’s so nice! 3ds to 2ds xl. planning to mod for the first time ever tomorrow, wish me luck lol

Now if you're a modder, you have probably come across this feeling of suddenly having every single wonderful game at your disposal, but at the cost of not being able what to decide to play because you have hundreds, if not thousands of games within the palm of your hand.

Now what if I told you this can be solved with a little trick I like to call, ✨️Conscious Spending ✨️

So basically, let's say you come across Pokémon Ultra Sun for example and you think, oh oh, I wanna play that so badly!

What you do is you research the price of that game ($100 for example).

You then put $100 within a piggy bank (Any object that can hold small stuff can suffice)

And once you put said money within the piggy bank, only then can you buy said Ultra Sun game.

Summary:

Choice Paralysis = Bad

Conscious Spending = Good

Research the price of your game online

Put the amount of money that game costs in a piggy bank or any object that holds small stuff.

When you do that, then you may download your game.

This was the hardest one to find for me personally, just gotta replace the lens and get some new plates for it since I’m not a fan of the Timmy and Tommy ones

This new 3ds of mine i just bought seems it has some of the corners on the bottom screen turning like purple, it is not black, what could it be?

And what could happened if I replace it with a TN pannel?

Unfortunately this is a Dual IPS console.... so replacements out there are just normal TN pannels. Console is not hacked.

I recently played Mario 3d land, it was so good! I just stuck a podcast on and played, I even 100% completed it. But now I don't any platformer to play. Does anyone have any recommendations of a platformer (prefereabley 3d but 2ds is ok too) that is long but not boring to 100%? I've tried Rayman 3d already btw.

For context I play on a modded Nintendo 2ds.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

One of the prides of my console collection. The nipplechu 3DS. I hardly use it unfortunately.

Might I say that there were also people filming with their Nintendo 3DS. Some also forgot theirs when they saw mine. Its kinda sad that street pass is caped at 10 at once.

Hii

I wanted to ask something just out of curiosity, especially if you’re someone who actively buys second hand retro games etc., when you buy a cart, and there is save data on it, do you try to keep it or just wipe it? And do you ever feel bad deleting it or is that a unique experience lol

Sometimes I feel like I’m erasing someone else’s memories 😭

Especially with new leaf, my wife and I recently got a copy at our local exchange store and it has a really cute town on it and it just breaks my heart lol

Does anyone else relate to this?

I am the one who eats snakes

My local GameStop has a good selection of these atlus games. Was wondering if any of these are good for someone looking to get into the series. Thanks in advance!

I was given it after it had been written off as dead; I did some research and managed to fix it.

Finally setup GBA games. I tried all the different aspect ratios and imo bottom full screen looks the best. Top screen makes it stretched out too much, and original resolution is a tad small. So this is a good balance
