Anybody noticing how it's ridiculously expensive to buy a 3DS in modern times?This definitely has to mostly do with social media. Old video game systems have now become "status symbols" thanks to social media influencers. Now rich normies who have too much money to spend, who don't even care about Nintendo or video games, see their favorite influencer post about why they need to own a 3DS and then proceed to buy all these systems up so they can post their "Retro video game collection" LARP for TikTok clout and Reddit upvotes. Then the prices sky-rocket because these normies are driving up the demand and paying the inflated prices that greedy resellers and retro game stores are asking for. I guess this isn't a problem necessarily specific to the 3DS but more so just all old video game systems now in general, but it's getting really bad the most for the 3DS.Just another case of normies ruining things as usual.
It became a trend among zoomies recently. Hopefully they fuck off and I can get a n2DS XL for a decent price soon to replace my old n3DS XL.
>>746059759They will never ever go down in price again you fucking retard. I told you to buy years ago. Fucking waitfags
>>746059759>It became a trend among zoomies recently.On normalfaggot social media. It's normalfaggots. Quit spewing the stupid generalizations and get that through your retarded, thick skull.
You've had years to get one. The fact you even know that it "costs so much now(because you didnt need one before)" or what is even happening on Tiktok at all(lol) kinda exposes you as the algoslave doesnt it?
>>746059894We keep waiting until the day of judgement. Then, we shall keep waiting after that too. When the day comes, you will see our wisdom for what it is then you will apologize for your rude behavior.
>>746059656kinda glad my autism made me get a few collector's edition 3ds despite already having a Majora's Mask one. I'm pretty much set for life, glad I paid MSRP than whatever the local retard wants
Our modern culture is diseased and broken and I want nothing more than for it to be changed.
>>746059656>Anybody noticing how it's ridiculously expensive to buy a 3DS in modern times?no. but you did because your are contributing to the problem
>>746060023Stop bullying me you fucking zoomer. Why are these fucking fucks so mean to me?!
>>746060042>then you will apologize for your rude behavior.No. I will apologize right fucking now.I am sorry!I will try to make any further post with the proper respect in mind now.I have a N3DS XL and a 2DS XL btw if you are interested in this information.
>>746060141Did you get one with 2 IPS screens?
You're a bit late to noticing, I thought I got ripped off back in 2023. Waitfags always suffer though.
>>746060387>japanese modelFilthy otaku hands touched this.I bet there is still cum residue on it.
>>746059656What the fuck man, those prices are criminal, should I sell mine now then? I haven't even touched it since I finished wario land 3 a few years ago
>>746059656>get one for cheap>notice the bottom screen is misaligned>mostly got to play etrian odysseyGod fucking damn it's so fucking annoying drawing the maps on this fucked screen
I need to sell mine its been shoved in a cupboard along with other consoles for years.
>>746059656I bought mine for 50 bucks from the parents of a kid who played it for like 10 minutes total.Was like ages ago though
>>746060265>I have a N3DS XL and a 2DS XL btw if you are interested in this informationI had one too, but my brother took it away. Doesn't matter, because I played all the games I wanted to on it. I lost the cartridge for my games, so it wouldn't even matter if I had the console itself anyways. What matters is that you appreciate the console while you have it rather than just keeping it around for storage like many do.
>at a small toy/trading card/collectible convention near me>the table next to the vendor i was looking at is some faggot selling overpriced video games and consoles>he's selling original 3DS's for FUCKING $130>some literal FtM fat tranny with a scribbled on mustache waltz over to his table and starts gushing over how "cheap" they are and buys one immediately The pooner looked to be about my age (20s) which pissed me off because how the FUCK do you not know these aren't worth $130? They were like $40 on eBay pre-COVID because nobody fucking wanted them.
>>746060525You should play some fucking video GAMES
none of your schizo ramblings are true lmao, 3DS hacking just became super accessible in the last few years so the handheld really rose to the top as a dedicated retro games machine, this stacked upon the grim realization everyone's finally had that the switch line existing means we'll never get another handheld console ever again.
>>746059656It's true that eceleb videos are inflating prices but you also had years to buy 3DS systems for cheap. There's a very clear pattern where a system that's one generation old tends to not be worth much on the secondhand market but it grows in value over time as nostalgia grows. For example, right now Switch Lites are fairly cheap and you can mod them with a PicoFly.>>746059759Not happening, and you would understand this if you knew basic supply and demand. The system has been out of production for years and the supply of working 3DS systems circulating in the market continues to dwindle.
>>746060629>I lost the cartridge for my games, so it wouldn't even matter if I had the console itself anywaysYou didn't CFW it?!
>>746060707>3DS hacking just became super accessible in the last few yearsAbsolutely nothing significantly changed in the last few years at all.
>>7460596563DS has games. Hope this helps
>>746059656I don't think so? I see them for as low as 150€ on ebay.de - some even at 110-120, and I know you can get cheap ones from Japan too>but the cheap ones are used!Yeah? It's a 15 year old product
>>746060757No. I hadn't jailbroken the console at that time. I just played it with friends at the local academic institution nearby. I'm still not sure if one of them jacked the games from me while I wasn't looking.
>>746060707The TikTok thing is somewhat true, but not for "retro video game collection" purposes.Wymen and normalfaggots started this obsession of buying up 3DS's (and the PSP too) to use as some sort of fashion statement, or for some sort of "aesthetic" so they can plaster stickers on it to take videos before preceding to toss it aside, never actually using it.
>>746060754>Switch Lites are fairly cheap and you can mod them with a PicoFlyI will look into this. I thought only very old Switch 1 models are moddable.
I regret treating mine so poorly. I left a bottle of whiskey on top of mine for a few years before I found out I can hack it. Now the top part is curved slightly and certain buttons are oversensitive (that may be unrelated though).
>>746060885150 euros for used eMMC e-waste is insane and I'm sorry if you can't see that.Of course, it's up to the used market to regulate itself if the customers find the prices unacceptable. But they don't, because they're retarded fucking goyim. The 3DS has 0 worthwhile exclusives or homebrew apps either way, easily one of the weakest handhelds.
>>746060921I'm sorry for your loss.If you ever get your hands on one again, definitely CFW it!
>>746059656I mean yeah maybe that's a part of it, but the 3DS is genuinely a great console. It's so easy to hack and can play a bunch of game's libraries. It's still valuable. And there's something that just feels right about playing handheld games on an actual handheld, so people are more likely to seek out that experience instead of just emulating them on their computer. I mean how would you even know they're becoming expensive if you yourself aren't in the market to buy one? So obviously you understand the appeal of it.
>>746061016>The 3DS has 0 worthwhile exclusivesDigimon Decode
>>746059656they're down 20 percent what do you fucking mean fuck you
>>746061016Kid Icarus Uprising and the Etrian Odysseys are great games and I don't care what you think.
>>746061016I mean the OP topic is that it's gotten "ridiculously expensive", but 150€ is still only like 60% of the MSRP it launched with, so that's definitely not anywhere near ridiculous...Also the 3DS library is great, plus it can play all DS and GBA games. That alone makes it the greatest handheld.
>>746060956All Switch 1s are moddable but the OLED/V2/Lite models require a modchip like the Picofly. You do need to know how to solder to install the modchip, but if you don't know you can probably just find someone locally and pay them to install it for you.
>>746061091A re-release of a PSP title.>>746061115Kid Arthritis Hospitalization more like, and the Etrian Odysseys are all the same.
>>746059656the games are quite affordable since everyone pirated them.
>>746060956It's not an easy job, the soldering is fucking tiny, and I mean really fucking tiny, the caps fit between the ridges of your thumbprint, best to pay someone to do a suicide mod instead
>>746060040>>746060387I'm OP. I already have an original 3DS and a New 2DS XL. But I've wanted to get a New 3DS/New 3DS XL because those are generally considered the "best" of all the 3DS systems. Guess I've got to throw in the towel because no way am I paying $400+ for a used 3DS.>>746060525Nah, don't sell it. If you ever become nostalgic and want to buy another one again, it's going to cost a fortune to buy a new one.
>>746059656You guys had years after the Switch 1 came out to buy 3DSes for dirt cheap before Nintendo discontinued them, you have no one to blame but yourselves
I use my 3DS nowadays for DS games. I don't even know why, they look fucking blurry by default and scaling them down gives you massive black borders.I wish DSiXLs weren't expensive, that'd be like the perfect console.
>>746061115>Kid Icarus UprisingOnly if you have 3 hands.
I pray that these price-hiking faggots start actually infecting the Wii U so I can sell it + all the first party games I have, but they never actually succeed. I've seen multiple collection Youtubers pop up and try to pass it off as some hidden gem to collect, but it hasn't done shit at all.
>>746061213>A re-release of a PSP title.No, it's more like a Definitive or Ultimate Edition of the PSP game. Like MH4U to MH4.I 100%ed both.
>>746061502no one wants Wii U shit. All its games have been ported elsewhere in much better versions.
>>746061502Probably because nearly every single Wii U game that's worth playing has already been ported to the SwitchThat's not really a thing with the 3DS
>>746060375not for the spares and I hate it. my main one at least has a top ips which is tolerable for most games at least
Yeah it's fucking bonkers honestly. I remember some years ago you could get a really nice new 3ds xl for around 150 eur, now they're 300 eur. Might as well buy an AYN Thor for that money.
>>746061496>he doesn't have 3 hands
If you weren't around on Pokemon XY/ORAS on /v/ on the server shut down day you are a fucking TOURIST:
>>746061742You own the N64 as well, right?
>>746060023Get out of here pls
>>746059759>among zoomiesMany Zoomers literally grew up with the 3DS. most of the early zoomers were teenagers when it released in 2011.(earliest zoomers are 30 now, which mean they were 15 when it released in 2011. So Zoomers who are between 30 and 20 years now today could have gotten one on release)Anything younger are very early zoomers who are closer to gen alpha.
>>746061696>Might as well buy an AYN Thor for that money.Definitely not
>>746061941Why not? It’s literally better in every way
>>746061696>xlThe regular sized new 3ds is better because of the faceplates anyway, XL is just a cope for americans who got cucked out of the regular model.only problem is that they have a very specific type of battery that is hard to get a good replacement for, I had to get a third party chink battery that works fine but doesn't show the charge level accurately at all
>>746059656https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXMvl1YlpMk
sold my og xl for launch price, hated the weight distribution
>>746061817You got raped.
I finally modded my N2DS after being kind of artistically anti-piracy for like 15 years and it's been super nice. I'm tempted to play Xenogears on it but IDK how well PS1 emulation is. I also spent like a whole day making everything Miku themed since all the extra customization options Anemone opens up are cool.
>>746061923NO! NO! NO! THEY NEVER TOUCHED THE 3DS! STOP LYING! THEY'RE LITERALLY STEALING IT! STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP IT NOW!
>>746062108No need to project! Now pls get out
>>746059656I bought a nipponese DSi XL, those are still priced pretty fairly (about 100 for a good quality one). Better console too, unless you're just really into the 3DS library.
>>746059894yard sales exist, itl be ok
>>746062221>>746061341
>>746062108https://youtu.be/nhrgMf45PjQ
>>7460596563DS prices are actually quite low actually compared to the demand : There is like 4k unit selling every month on Ebay .meanwhile other systems are sitting at 1k unit. Its the only way to play natively 3DS games and it got a good combo (3DS DS GBA)Even the "New" models are like 200-230e max in europe, which is cheap considering how many units of those are actually available worldwide
>>746062221>bought a JP n3DS from jpfans>base price was fairly cheap>get turbo ass-fucked on undisclosed shipping taxes because >hurrr muh battery can't be shipped!!fucking asswipes, never again.At least the console is fine and doesn't have the piss yellow that 95% of JP 3DS have.
>>746059656You're a normalfag if you don't buy a Chinese handheld over a 3ds anyway
>>746062180I think something really ironic happening right now is that a lot of people complaining about zoomers, are, themselves, zoomers, but they don't realize it.In most people's mind, zoomers means "teenagers". but most teenagers are not zoomers anymore. they are the generation after. Zoomers start in 1996 and ends in 2010 or 2012 (people still debates on that)So a vast majority of zoomers now are early adults to adults for the oldest. A vast majority of zoomers are old enough to be on this website without breaking the rules. The only remaining ones are the post08 ones. so there's only between 2 and 4 years before all zoomers being early adults at the youngest.Writing this makes me feel old...
>>746061303The games have an expiration date on them so it's not worth collecting for.
>>746062428One of the advantages of using ebay even though most JP sellers on there upcharge for gaijin. That shit is usually all taken into consideration for you so there are no surprises. My DSi is a little yellow on the top screen but I barely notice it half the time.
>you had years to buy one chud, that's on youProbably /v/'s most retarded take.>heh what's wrong, didn't have sex with Marilyn Monroe? You had 36 years to tap that, that's on you
>>746059656Yep, happened right around 2020. That was the last time you could get a lot of retro consoles and the not-as-popular games for reasonable second hand prices. It has gotten worse every year since then. I got Pokemon Black around that time for $35 from game stop. Now you are lucky to find a legit copy below $90. Same shit with 2/3DS XL. They are frequently $100 more than they usually would be. Even DSi are creeping up in price.
>>746061341The difference barely matters, really.
A lot of people now buy retro consoles and games not to actually play them. but to "invest", everything has to be about money to some people. Even games, and it's getting worse with each generations... The world on it's own already is getting more expensive due to politics, but people themselves are responsible for making things more expensive.
>>746062436Generally I agree, but as far as I'm aware a chinkheld doesn't have PokeBank, and that was important to me.But come February, neither will the 3DS.
>>746062525just so you know, almost all JP sellers on eBay these days are dropshippers who just mirror the same listings from Mercari and Yahoo Auctions to begin with, they don't actually own the item
>>746062704What? Shut the fuck up.Come back after you've taken highschool level econ.
>>746062794People who buy games and consoles should buy them to play video games. now to stockpile them and artificially inflate prices for their own ego and seeing them as money investment.
>>746062448It's a mix of genuinely obsessed retards who are blissfully unaware that obsessing over generations/zoomers on every thread on /v/ is a normalfaggot thing (literally go on facebook, twitter, etc, they fucking LOVE that shit) and what you said, people who are unaware that they too are zoomers.Someone posted an "older Zoomer" range of 1997-2000 on here once and a lot of replies were "wait...I AM LE ZOOMER?".
>>746062924the timeframe is really too big to be united. a zoomer born in 1996 to 1999 will have experienced a vastly different culture than one born 5 or 10 years after.
>>746059656The problem is Nintendo hasn't released a good handheld since 2ds XL. They need to release a Switch 2 handheld that isn't too big and has actual good form factor
>>746062921Ah well that's fair enough, but also not really what's happening here for the most part.
>>746059759Millenials are the fags who scalp everything. They are literally baby boomers if baby boomers ended up as bigger man children.
>>746062704Its not games and retro consoles. Its actually everything. And after all are they wrong?Something OOP for 5 years used to sell like at almost double the value years ago. It would sell but still hard to make a living out of itWell this 5 years became 5 months since covid, and double can become triple too. Now you understand. There is either some rich retard or fomo doomspending zoomers that actually try to buy anything at any price.. You gonna see Stellar Blade being sold at 200$ in 2029 unless they make a PS5 reprint which won't happen :D
>>746062992That's just how trying to neatly divide generations goes.
Remember to zig while others zag boys.All those PS4 games you walk past you've never heard of? Nows the time. Anything you can scoop up. Panic buying is actually based. But you panic buy at the bottom, not when a craze starts.
>>746062042chinkshit
>>746063159It was easier for other generations, but the world after the mid 90s started moving and """evolving""" even faster. culture changes and go at a much quicker rate.And it's not slowing down, The world likely will be very different in 30 years. and probably much worse
3DS is the only console actually worth getting over emulating because of the 3D gimmick
>>746063391what is reimu doing?
>not having owned one since release
>got a N2DS for roughly $100 in my country's currency back in 2019>now the same model costs like 3x its original price>PS Vitas cost like 2x their price back thenMan I'm so lucky I decided to get these pre COVID
>>746063467Tbf, if anons used it since their releases, it's likely they are damaged to some degrees. these consoles were rather fragile and I don't think there's any official repairs available anymore.That's true for all Nintendo handhelds after the Gameboy which was a force of nature.
>>746063415she mooin rays
>>746059656>Anybody noticing how it's ridiculously expensive to buy a 3DS in modern times?Instead of noticing prices you should be grabbing switches to sell for a profit once the nostalgia hits in 4 or 5 years.
>>746063207I remember telling people this about Wii U games in 2018~2019 when all the games where dirt cheap in the bargain bin and nobody cared about them with the Switch being out. Now you have to spend $150 for a copy of Twilight Princess or Wind Waker HD

>>746062992What the fuck can you do? A millennial born in like 1982 has to deal with sharing a generation with someone born in like 1995, who has never known what the 80s were like, or really the 90s for that matter.The zoomers you just mentioned are all drama queens who go "OH WOE IS ME I AM STUCK BETWEEN 2 GENERATIONS...LE SIGH" because all this bullshit discussion forced them to care.

>>746059656The prices are high because it's superior to any of the current-gen consoles and you can't emulate its trademark feature. Modern games sucking is not hyperbole.

>>746065982>Wii with an actual controller is the best way to play GCN gamesFrom what I remember, a DOL-001 Gamecube actually has better digital video output than the Wii. So an early model Gamecube with an HDMI adapter will look a bit sharper than the Wii.

>>746067476My original model 3DS crapped out entirely around 2020, I had a few chances to get a n3DS XL for around 200 USD and foolishly I chose to wait in hopes I could find one for cheaper. Joke's on me I guess.
>>746067476Damn the pink and black one is sick what ed is that
I don’t know why this would shock anyone. They discontinued them six years ago, only the New 3DS XL is worth owning, and the system as a whole (crappier models included) was a lackluster seller compared to the DS. should have bought one at Target when they were getting blown out during the Wii U era. I love my 3DS but I’m not sure why it would be preferable to something like a Thor if I didn’t already have one.
>>746063638When Devil's Third was ready to come out I didn't pre-order because everybody was really pushing that pre-ordering bad and shit at the time and if you do it you are contributing to games being bad (i don't know why I listed). And of course it sold out. I wasn't into "game collecting" proper at the time, I just wanted to play the new Itagaki game with Ivan and the exploding satellites. And I watched the prices creep up to $70, $80, $90... meanwhile people on Twitter were swearing by "the reprint". "The Reprint™" is confirmed. Don't buy now, wait for the "The Reprint™. But there was never any announcement, just a lot of "trust me bro". But I caved and bought at $100. And then it went back to normal price for awhile, because the reprint was real. I made out in the end though.Basically this was an experience that changed how I approached physical games and I know not to listen to gay niggas at all. Buy what you want as cheap as you can get it, plan ahead for nostalgia cycles, if you want a limited game nothing wrong with pre-ordering it regardless of what "message you are sending the developers".
3DS is a shitty ARM device many tablets and phones and chinkhelds destroy it.
>Had the chance to buy a friend’s ex’s 3DSXL that had been basically untouched for $120 dollarydoos in 2020>Declined>Hinge on my one started going out in 2024 during the online shutdown period>Non Nip PAL ones in mediocre condition cost roughly $350 dollarydoos as a starting price Admittedly not sure what I’d replay on it that isn’t LM2, OoT3D, Link Between Worlds and a handful of other games but it still sucks with how good an emulation machine it is.
>>746067796I made it out of a black one and a pink one that were both broken. I like the result too.
So what you guys playingI'm reading Moby Dick on mine
>>746059656more so people have realized that the switch is dogshit for mobile gaming and its evident that nintendo will never go back to dedicated handhelds.
>>746061303Most of these carts don't work anymore.
>Check prices for original GBA out of curiosity >$70-100 depending on condition What the fuck are we doing here? This thing is basically junk compared to the SP/DS/DSL and those don't cost much more. No reason not to just get one of those or even a chinkheld at that point
Do not pay over inflated prices for shitty 240p tn panels the thor and Odin 3 are way better
>>746068142I like the feel of them but holy shit that's retarded
>>746062525 isn't there a trick to unfucking the yellowing of the screen?I think you can leave it turned on for a while and then it disappears
>>746068014Get some taste faggot
>>746068228>isn't there a trick to unfucking the yellowing of the screen?Put it in the oven for 20 minutes
>>746068228Yeah you leave it on a pure white screen and max brightness. I tried that for a while, it did kinda work (it seemed to anyway) after leaving it like that for a few days but I was hesitant to just let that shit rip for weeks because it's just not good for the screen's health long term. Plus I think it's more noticeable if it's super yellow, mine was only a little yellowed so the difference was pretty minor.
>>746068073Get an e-reader
>>746059759Sorry you missed the boat first post. Too bad you will never own a 3DS or be best post.
>>746068343Why? My 3ds is perfectly ok
>>746063207>got a JP ps4pro for 100 burger bucks>shipping was 150>didn't say it was even jailbreakable>it wasArigato goizaymas to whatever NEET died and left his ps4 behind, I'll take good care of it.
Man, trading in my Xbox One S to my local game store in 2018 for a N3DS XL and DSi XL was the best trade of my life. (hacked em both)
I remember I sold my ds lite for modern warfare 2 & gears of war 2 good times
>>746059656Is not even that is because of rarity along other stuff, take blue dragon games>had regular sales>was on rare systems like DS or xbox 360.>due to those price is high by default (bought at release 150 sterling pounds new 3 discs xbox 360 version).>now is collector item.>add akira toriyama died so became premium.Collectors are cheap retards, they now the value but will try to get it cheap and argue "is old has no value" argued a lot with some of them because wanted to get some collector items for cheap but i went "nope you fucked up, you want star ocean internationaledition or ninja gaiden pay what i want, if you don't like it fuck off!!".
>>746068245Give us some suggestions then faggot
>>746059656Thank god when I bought one for 50$ years ago (It comes with CFW so Nintendo can suck my balls)
>>746069114Sushi Striker.It's kino
>>746059656Btw the 3ds and the predecessor ds was the ultimate handheld console.I love my psp but the ds type are to compact and handy.
