Holy shit, used prices for these are ridiculous.I should sell mine, played revelations 1 recently and it was a miserable experience, piece of shit hardware.
>>736539204>I should sell mineholy retard
I hacked it, added a bunch of roms. But it just doesn't feel the same to me.
>>736539231Why shouldn't I if I dislike playing on it?
>>736539204>he didn't buy oneYou're too late and it's your own fault.We told you to buy one when they were cheap
>>736539271Holy reading comprehension
>>736539292I didn't read
why are snoys so soulless?
>>736539204Makes you wonder how many they would have sold if they hadn't stopped production. For demand to be this strong this many years on suggests a lot of sticking power that they didn't appreciate at the time.
>>736540317The consoles would have kept on selling, but the software sale were already down hard.
>>736540317The dedicated handheld market is currently untapped outside of chinkhelds, and those often have quality control issues. The 3DS has proven to be reliable, and it is widely known to be easily hackable.
>>736540890and now most games are hard to find
>>736540904>chinkhelds, and those often have quality control issuesthis
SO real talk, what would happen if Nintendo were to release a new dedicated portable console? would it still sell?
>>736540949They'd share sales with the Switch.0 reason for them to do that at this point.
>>736539204If I installed homebrew 7 years ago, how do I remove it so I can have a fresh start and fully mod it? Haven't touched my 3DS since then. It was solely for JKSM at the time (I think that's what it was called).
>>736541008Read the guide
>>736540949It wouldn't happen unless Nintendo felt like new (Switch 2) games ran to an acceptable standard on the portable hardware...which seems impossible. I don't see them ever going back to a split design philosophy (where some games are intended for portable play).
>>736541008you don't, you just install Luma over it and cope with the rare crashes and bugs like I do, I think my 3DS went through every CFW under the sun, boot up takes like 30 seconds and sometimes the home screen appears empty with different theme settings (leftovers from emuNAND? no fucking clue!)
>Bought one eight years ago>hacked it>filled it with all kinds of games>gift it to my nephew>he's ecstatic >bro returns it anyways>"we don't want him to turn out like you"I know it's that bitch he married but what he said was uncalled for.
>>736541154
>>736540949Nu-tendo would never do it because it'd eat the switch's lunch. The main reason the switch lineup is successful is because its a consolidation of their home console and handheld series. With the exception of the Wii being lighting in a bottle and selling like hotcakes to nursing homes, each nintendo home console sold worse than the last. But the handhelds all still sold well, so nintendo just made their "home consoles" a successor to the 3ds instead
>Re-release 3DS>devs can make easy to dev games now between each AAA 5 years gap release
>>736539204Get in while the gettings good, 3ds has no games. LARPers love this shit.
>>736539204don’t buy this, buy ayn thor. better and higher res screen and can play a lot more stuff and you can speed things up for shit like pokemon
>>736539231You people just post for the sake of posting, don't you? You're the fucking retard here.
>>736541154>things that didn't happen for 100
>>736541154>>filled it with all kinds of games3DS doesn't have any games
How long until they make a chinkheld that can play 3DS games with the 3D effect?
I've rediscovered my love for the 3DS lately, it really is a great handheld. Wanted to keep my Majora's Mask one which I've had since release "pure" and was lucky to find the black one at a flea market for $180 a couple of months ago.
>>736542289for what
>>736542706what a tasteless abomination of a custom theme
>>736542706What are you playing?
>>736542706I lost my respect for these collections because I know that 50% of these carts don't even work anymore.
>>736543205I've been playing alot of Theatrhythm lately.>>736543275I must be lucky then, all my carts are still working.
>>736543275All my carts works, first time I'm reading about cart failure.
>>736544349>All my carts workDo you really believe that
>end production of your most popular handheld system and all its games>refuse to port them to your new system>aggressively pursue litigation against any and every site offering players a way to play the games via ROMswhat did nintendo mean by this
>>736539261Nta but if you want to sell it then sell it. What the fuck was the point of this thread?
>>736540949Dedicated handhelds worked in the past because games had a much shorter and cheaper development cycle so devs could afford to make handheld games alongside console, and be experimental, but with how long and costly it is these days I can’t imagine any dev willingly making a dedicated portable game over a console one, it might get a first party push for a little bit but that would end.Maybe some indie devs would put their games on both handheld and console if it was easy enough to run, but then we’re just in the same position we are now where switch lite can just play switch games.
>>736544438I recently sold a big chunk of my ds and 3ds games and was worried I'd have some dead carts but they were all fine when I tested them.
>>736541465Nihao! Bing bao chin zhao!
>>736544513Its not only Nintendo, but virtually every entreprise to promotes FOMO ever since battlepass and gacha limited skin came on the raiseThey make more money/generate more engagement this way than any other way, otherwise why would they pass on that yummy high price tag? like they could release gba pokemon games and a fucking gba "mini" or something and make banks, but they don't do itEither its only a small minority of retard that buying and your average joe won't buy a 200$ cardridge or they make more money this way

The best way to play 3ds games is unironically emulated on your phone with one of them controller plug ins
>playing 3DS games on original hardware Why would anyone want to do this?
>>736547198PortablePhysical buttonsNot chinese
>>736544438Yes, as I said cart failure is news to me I have plenty of 3DS games that me and my kids play all the time. Guess I'm lucky.
>>736547198You wouldn't get it
>>736544613The reason dev cycles are so long now is because of increased graphics standards, which would be much lower on a tiny handheld, just like in the old days, so dev cycles would be shorter for it. I'm sure there would be a lot of ports as well which there would be no reason for that to take very long.
>>736540949It would have to be another dual screen device or something else entirely that delivers an experience you can't already get on the Switch or Switch 2.
>>736540949the 3DS (or 4DS if this timeline happened) would be fighting the Switch sales and there would have to be games that are made and ported to it that it can handle. It'd be more work to prop up two consoles that would end up weaker than if they just focused on one
>>736547198Much different feel on a PC or third party handheld. Original hardware IS original.
What will nintendo's solution for the two screens be for any switch ports?
>>736547198On what else would you play them on? Your phone? I tried to play SMT4 like that and it wasn't a good experience
>>736539204I regret selling my original 3DS. It was by far the most comfortable model. The non-XL N3DS I replaced it with is a piece of shit that makes my hands go numb when I use it for too long.
>>736547198I know it's hard to believe but 240p content looks good on a 240p screen
>>736547862Hop the fuck in, nigguh!
The 3ds is so goated>Smt>yokai watch>monster hunter>lbx>bravely default>fire emblemThe only thing I regret is not carrying the thing around at it's height of popularity, literally the only street passes i have are from my girlfriend and one girl at the airport
>want a "new" 2ds xl>only options are chipped or scratched ones for $300 or these ones from japan that day xl llI know LL is what the XL was called in japan, but what does that mean these consoles that say XL LL are? Are they region free jap consoles? All already modded? Will I run into any issues trying to play US carts on them?
>>736539204play WarioWare Gold before you sell itthats like a super really good game that uses hardware to its fullest
>>736539204>Looked it upOver 200 euros for a basic ass original 3ds. Not even a new 3ds. The only affordable one is the 2ds which can be found for under 100 euros.
>>736548220There is an app that allows you to get passes, it is a tranny app though.
>infinite amount of games>can just download games>can emulate most other systemsI don't understand why would anyone want to sell it
>>736547198I genuinely like the 3D screens. The later library having 2D only games is such a waste, but I always play it fully cranked.
>>736549762You just described any PC, and that isn't glued to a 240p screen with a 2005 CPU
>steam deck>modded vita>modded 3dswe really do live in the golden age of handheld gamingplaying aria of sorrow on my vita and bravely default on my 3ds right now
>>736539204Not sure if it'd be worth rebuyingI'd only want it for hgss, tetris ds, and smash 3ds
Playing 3ds games on my phone with a 3d printed clip on attachment holding it to an xbox controller. Very comfy
>>736550001My PC does not fit in my pocket
>>736539204I have a regular sized one (not xl) in pristine condition (always kept in the case) how much does it fetch?
>>736550431its a new 3ds version, not the one in OP though.
>>7365504312 bucks
>>736547198There's no Glasses-free 3D screen
Pic related is such a fucking good game and I never hear anyone talk about itIts like custom Robo and gotcha force had a baby and level 5 made it so it's high qualityThe post game is massive too, I've been playing through card battles for the last 2 weeks and having a great timeWould highly recommend
>>736551939You've sold me on this game. Il download it tonight. Any other lesser known games I should play? Every list always has the same 10 games.
>>736540904like it or not, the switch lite is the best you'll get for a handheld console made by a mainstream company.
>>736540949no.they merged their handheld market with their console market with the switch to consolidate it into one thing they can focus on. considering you can get a switch lite for around $100 and games cheap enough for it, they've essentially become the budget option by every other business deciding to charge $600+ for consoles. it is a wonder why the others don't see a market for a cheaper less powerful handheld in todays market though. especially one that could skirt AI niggery hording every high end electronic resource ever.
>>736549762i sold my SNES 3DS for $600 recently.in regards to why, it's literally a 12 / 13 year old electronic device that will die eventually and anything you want can be played on your pc anyway or on a chinkheld.
>>736550049Vita's have gone down in price again to sub $100 which is weird, especially now that the original PSP is also insanely expensive.I've been tempted to buy one while they stay cheap. shit goes in waves.
>>736547465I think it's just they lose their charge over time, so as long as you're playing them more often than once every 10 years they should be safe.
What's stopping nintendo to porting a shit ton of their handheld library to switch like xbox's backwards compatibility program
>>736553017>switch lite got 100No you cannot. Maybe secondhand Craigslist gamble lmfao. You don’t want a used switch lite. It’s a pain when the screen fails because you can’t hook it up to the tv.
>>736540317It's currently a fad to post pictures of them online as a piece of "retro" kitsch. The prices won't last.
>>736552231For a relaxing management game "of mice and sand"You control a group of mice going across the desert in a bus, build rooms, Weapon systems etcBunch of quests and resource management but really relaxed paceIts my go to for 20 minutes of gaming before sleep
>>736551939Encounter rate got on my nerves, but the core game is fun
>/v/ now pretending the 3d effect is "good" and that they play with full 3d on
>>736554358I even tilt the Tetris table so the pieces fall off the screen
>check the 3DSXL I haven't used for years like every other time it gets mentioned as something as valuable as an original Picasso>it just werks>check the battery>congratulations, it's a spicy boy It was bound to happen, so I might as well ask here, where do you recommend buying replacements? Should I dare save a buck or two from temu/ali or do i just buy from amazon? West EU if it matters>why don't you just sell it if you're not using itit's a plain orange one, ugly as sin, which was probably part of the reason I could pick it up for cheap way back
I have a og black 3ds to this day, I want to get a n3ds model due to it's performance and better 3d but these are too expensive for no fucking reason.Why do people pay these prices?
>>736553448I think the prices will get worse as supply dries up. Working units are only going to get more and more scarce with time.Best case scenario is that chinese dualscreens improve a few more clicks, and emulation software improves a few more clicks, and then people who only care about being able to play shit will have another outlet.But even then hardware prices are only going to keep skyrocketing with time for the short to medium term future. I think we're living in the world where a year from now and 2 years from now will have DS and 3DS units more expensive than even today, where they're already eyewateringly high.
>>736554687You can still get some from nigga nigga nintendo iirc, have to change mine as well.
>>736554836They want to play DS and 3DS games and original hardware is still king for now. Sure the AYN Thor exists but that keeps going up in price because hardware that's good enough to emulate DS and 3DS somewhat competently is expensive due to AI demand.
I have the black Zelda one which is apparently selling for around $500 now. Pretty crazy, but I like mine too much to ever sell it.>>736540317The main reason people buy them now is to run homebrew, and Nintendo would never have leaned into that. I know a kid IRL that saved up and bought one for this purpose just last week. As far as portable gaming devices go, the 3DS is king because it runs 3DS and DS natively. From what I've heard, most chinkhelds don't support games that require touch interactions, microphone, or screen-closing well, if at all. And installing ROMs and emulators for older titles is also very simple compared to the initial homebrew setup.
>>736539204woulda been a smart idea to snap em up when they were in the bargain bin for almost nothing
>>736554976But not having that 3D tracking thing is a bit sad, I've used my 3DS up until 2019 only because my screen got those black marks that keeps growing. Idk how my 3ds survived so many falls.Fuck larpers
>>736540949The switch is a portable handheld
>>736541154>"we don't want him to turn out like you"fake and gay but I laughed
>>736540949the Switch 2 is barely getting any new games and you think Nintendo has the capacity to push out new games for two entirely separate systems?
>>736542040Jeopardy starts at 200 points now retard
>>736553268Honestly I don't see the point in buying a Vita or a PSP. You can emulate the games just fine on a PC because there's only one screen, and the games that are there are mostly just ports of PS2 games (Armored Core, Persona etc) or the bargain bin versions of PS2 games (God of War, MGS). 3DS has a lot more going for it in comparison in its uniqueness and library.
>>736548945It's just a minigame collection
>>736555640ghost of sparta is literally the best god of war game
Damn I've unironically was looking at the invoice for my 2DS XL I bought for 130 euros back in 2019. Back in the day I knew I had to buy 2 because there was no way it would stay that ship.But at that time, I planned to kill myself after playing some of my childhood games. You can see how it went. Failed my attempt and now I'm still alive and rotting, still playing on that ds from time to time
>>736553189>i sold my SNES 3DS for $600 recently.RETARD
>>736553017>considering you can get a switch lite for around $100Link
>>736560179I've seen switch OLED under 200 on ali
I miss it so bad bros.
>>736539204All my 3DS cartridges workAlmost none of my DS cartridges work(like 30)What the fuck?Wasn't it that the 3DS cartridges were the more fragile ones while the DS supossedly last forever?Why do my DS cartridges not work but my 3DS ones do?
I got a pristine New 3DS LL for 70 and proceeded to install Mario Kart and lots of interesting wallpapers
>>736539204What do people even play on this shit? I only use it for etrian odyssey and picross.Is it really only a zelda/mario/pokemon machine?
>>736539204>>736539261You should absolutely sell it. I'm not sure what you want out of making this thread and telling us about it, though.
