The Nintendo 3DS is rapidly becoming one of the most sought-after pieces of retro gaming hardware ever made. Its skyrocketing value can be attributed to a perfect storm of factors: its remarkably easy modding scene, its ability to natively run software spanning three generations of Nintendo handhelds (Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS) and a growing nostalgia for truly portable gaming devices in an era dominated by oversized handheld-tablet hybrids. No other device can offer such an enormous game library in such a compact form factor.Adding to its appeal is something many thought would be forgotten: stereoscopic 3D. Once dismissed as a gimmick, the 3DS's glasses-free 3D display has become a unique feature that no modern gaming device has successfully replicated. Combined with an extensive software library and increasing collector demand, the system has transformed from a discontinued handheld into one of the hottest retro gaming collectibles on the market.The Nintendo 3DS's unique appeal has become even more apparent following the announcement of Nintendo's latest Star Fox 64 remake. Rather than generating universal excitement, the reveal has sparked a wave of comparisons with the 3DS version, with many fans arguing that the new divisive designs of the characters and the loss of stereoscopic 3D makes the new release feel less visually striking.
>>739997220tldr shut the fuck up
>>739997220Nice story did an AI give it to you?
>>739997220I genuinely can't think of a single good 3ds gameAlso nobody uses the 3d feature.If the price is up that just means supply is scarce. Probably because nobody likes the 3ds. Shit thread
>retro
JVC X'EyePanasonic QSega CDXUsing a gamestop used console is maybe not a great datapoint
>>739997316ah, yes, the Neo Geo AES, such a fine handheldretard
The one and only 3DS game I was interested in was Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.Maybe I should finally give it a shot.
>>739997220I don't understand why game companies don't re-release old consoles. Imagine a new 3DS with higher res oled screens and a better thumbstick or a PS2 with HDMI and higher resolutions than 480i and more games developed for them.
>>739997220Ah yes,the 3DS. My favorite retro console alongside the WiiU and the PS4.
>>739997220Ah my old friend the 3ds, didn't know you are retro (you aren't!)
>>739997220I love my New 3DS XL.

>>739997980>i like thing>I HATE YOU FOR LIKING THING
Protip, if you need to customize your 3DS just get a high quality sticker on Etsy because you have no idea how fucking expensive these collector editions or faceplates are.
Currently 1/4 through Moby Dick
The number one reason: social media posts. The majority of purchases these days are for products nobody even uses, unless you count posing with the product its intended purpose, in which case they're very much used.
just pirate it
Pretty good emulation machine
>>739998306The most retarded way ro read a book, holy shit.
>>739999712>good emulation machineThat's steam deck
>>739998442this. 3ds library is underwhelming
>cures alzheimersThe 3DS really is a priceless console
>>739997220It's a nice platform, but if you played it day one and kept up with it during the Switch you could easily clear out most of its worthwhile games.
>>740000334I still don't get how anyone like to play dual screen game on a deck or a single screen console, just buy a chinese knock off, at least the games will look better
>the 3d effect is good nowLol. Kek, even.
>>739997885I don't love mine, she's double TN panel used goods after all.
>>739997220i sold my n3ds because i absolutely hated the c "stick" on that thing.regrets.
>>739997316Isn't that pretty much its original launch price
>>739997220Now is the time to check if your battery is swollen and not leaking
>>739997220remember when Nintendo said that the switch wasn't gonna replace the 3DS? I member
