STOP BUYING 3DS YOU CHUDSIf you keep at it you will hurt the modern videogame industry, don't you get it?
>why buying this be harmfulaye mateys, giving me hard warned dubloons to ninty be a right scallywag landlubber
>>746214681just because your video flopped doesn't mean you can advertise it here, saar
>>746214681>just trust me brobut I don't
not your personal army
>>746214681Won't watch your shitty video. This is not a 3ds thread, what have you guys been playing lately? Currently giving picross 3d round 2 a try from an anon recommendation a while ago. It's great, I didn't realize how much I liked relaxed puzzle games until now.
>>746214681Is that what that's REALLY about or are you misrepresenting something?
Ever notice just how many Nintendo franchises went to shit on the 3DS?
>>746215395picross 3d is fucking awesome. i wish there was like 10 more installements.
>>746215395Just bought a New 3DS the other week after trying to find a US version that wasn't a Japanese version region changed because I wanted to use it for Pokemon Bank.>Lucked into someone randomly selling one with the top faceplate missing.>Actually a US version.>Virtually no damage to be seen in any of the screenshots outside of scratches to the shell.>Get it in hand.>This thing was used for like a few days by some kid and clearly never touched again.>Worst it has is a minor scratch on the very bottom-right of the top screen that you can't even see without turning it sideways and a tiny dot on the middle-left which I can only perceive with 3D on or a white screen.>Best of all: It was unhacked.You don't know how freeing it feels to go from an O3DS to this, it was like night and day. The buttons alone are an incredible upgrade let alone the 3D eye tracking thing.
>>746215565It was a tremendously disappointing system or more alternatively we could say that the NDS was a triumph that the like of we shall not see again.
>>746214681>NOOOO STOP BUYING THEM IT DEVALUES MY PERSONAL COLLECTION'S INVESTMENT
>>746216454I just got a N3DSXL with Dual IPS last week and transferred my O3DSXL stuff onto it. What a freaking difference indeed. I've been playing the shit out of Mario Golf World Tour. Decade or so ago, that game ran like ASS on O3DSXL. On the new model? I got the 3D maxed out and it looks fantastic. Been using Pokemon Bank the past week to trade Yellow Version Pokemon into ZA Legends too.
>>746214681Zoomers know how to load files into an SD card, right? They're installing cfw and aren't just spending hundreds on Nintendo's middest handheld, right?
>>746216615Was messing around with all the Taiko games personally and backing up my cartridge saves since it was so dreadfully slow on the O3DS. Threw on Clock + L2 and that one option that also is supposed to improve performance at the chance of crashes. It's incredible. It's also insane how fast the UI in general is between the O3DS and N3DS.I ignored the XL because I wanted proper scaling on the screens which is why I opted for the N3DS, plus I wanted faceplates. The fact these were only sold on Black Friday made it so bad to find one let alone one that was unhacked. I was genuinely considering saving up the $500 for an in-box version until someone posted this one for like $300ish. Now I'm just waiting on my faceplates from China, an extending stylus like on the O3DS, and a grip because I need one.
>>746216829do you have hshop yet?
>>746216748The console itself already costs hundreds and the micro sd to go with it might as well do too.
>>746216829I have a SNES N3DSXL I've never used and the Black Friday Mario N3DSXL as well. Could use either, but elected not to. The one I just got is the Hyrule one with confirmed Dual IPS. Man is it sweet and comfy to use. None of my 3DSes have been hacked and I'm leaning toward keeping it that way. There is a 64GB microSD in mine formatted to FAT32 though (since >32GB can be used as long as FAT32 is set to it). So hacking is still an option.
>>746215484>or are you misrepresenting something?An OP that isn't being honest? Gee no fucking way....on /v/ of all places???
>>746216829Why does it have to be unhacked?
>>746214681But it has games.
>>746214681even if i didnt own the 3ds (which i do), i would still never buy this fucking piece of GARBAGE. The pixellated as fuck screen literally hurts my eyes. It's sooo goddamn bad.And dont get me started on those horrible trash non-ergonimic sticks
>>746214681I saw that video suggested and just blocked the channel because it was likely ragebait, propaganda, fear mongering, or all three.
Nintendo can choose to restart manufacturing at any time if they want the money.
>>746214681Won't do.I think it's a cool console and there's some games I'd like to play on it, but I will try my luck with the copycats that have been coming out recently.I just really think it would be cool to play MGSR on a handheld.
>>746217284>None of my 3DSes have been hacked and I'm leaning toward keeping it that way.Nah, you really shouldn't. It doesn't affect you on the Nintendo side at all since they don't even care and can't really do anything about it unlike on the Switch (Which itself doesn't care about your NNID side, only the modern Nintendo account side). It's sort of like a PSP/Vita or Wii/Wii U situation where they have no idea you did it and don't have an automated way to actually address it so they don't care. You can also just revert it with a NAND backup if you want.It unlocks screenshotting in games, translation patches, uncensor patches in the case of things like Bravely Default, better performance via Clock + L2 on basically all non-N3DS games, gives you better NDS options if I remember right, custom themes and badges, save back ups, and more. There's genuinely no reason not to hack your system outside of purity cases.>>746217402Means there's no chance of it being region changed and/or banned. The region changing is important though because it meant no Pokemon Bank or system transfer.
>>746216454I'm still in regret I didn't buy one of these for $99 at Walmart in 2019. Place was filled with them. Hell I should've bought ten of them since those fuckers are selling new for $450-499 on Ebay now.
>>746217650>restart manufacturing at any timeYes, they have an entire plants with machinery on standby specifically to build those handhelds by merely pressing an on/off switch. Clearly.
>>746214681>>746214961Some /v/irgin smarter than me should rip the video and upload it to catbox so we can watch it, but also rob the OP shill of his clicks.
>>746218010If you really want to watch it just open it on an incognito window that way it won't towards his total views.

How is 3ds emulation?Also what is there even to play on a 3ds I barely remember it
>>746215395Finally modded mine so I've been playing E.X. Troopers, CTGP7 and Theatrhythm Dragon Quest. They're all sick.
>>746218473>black handsEEK! I'm out
Kinda unrelated but where can I find 3D pictures of anime girls? Are there any 3DS friendly webpages still in 2026? They're .mpo files. I ask because I have one tasteful example of an anime girl. It looks nice, and I want more.
>>746218473>>746214681Put it back.
>>746217974Multiple chinese clones are already out there, Nintendo has the firmware and blueprints still.
>>746215565That really only applies to Pokemon and Paper Mario. Robobot is like the best Kirby game, 3D Land is really cool, Link Between Worlds is great, Samus Returns was good enough to start the Metroid revival that Prime 4 ruined, Kid Icarus Uprising was phenomenal, and even Smash 4 had a cooler 3DS version with Smash Run.
>>746215484He says if you want to play games buy one but if you are buying them for the aesthetic or to larp as a retro fan fuck off based on the comments
>>746215395if you want more, there's voxelgram and nonogram 3d on pc
>>746216748>Zoomers know howYes, seeing as zoomers were the generation the 3DS was targeting
>>746214681>Imported Pearl White N3DSLL from Japan for like 200 bucks>Forgot to get a MicroSD card>Only came with 4gb one>FuckGotta wait until tomorrow I guess, gonna play Ghost Trick and Ace attorney trilogy while at work. Top IPS looks great tho
>>746218473What a fucking disingenuous faggot. He compared an original release (allegedly) factory sealed game to one that's pre-owned, has no manual, and is the rerelease.
>>746217650While Nintendo doesn't like to sell systems at a loss, the big money maker for these things is still software sales and anyone interested in a 3DS nowadays is using it as a piracy machine or buying used games. I could see Nintendo doing a DS or Gameboy/GBC/GBA rerelease akin to NES/SNES classic editions with a Greatest Hits selection of games pre-installed on it, but nothing beyond that.
>>746215395Some mad bastard ported Turok 1, Forsaken (ps1/PC levels version) and Perfect Dark to 3DS all with full stereo 3D
>>746219849I got my N3DSXL because I have games like Shadows of Valentia that I want to play again on superior hardware. I don't think we'll see a 3DS re-release of sorts again for a decade or so. Would rather just play on the hardware it was made for.
>>746218473I always click off a video when I hear ebonics.
>>746220358Unc is the niggerest of ebonics so I hope you click off any broccoli heads who spout that
>>746219849I don't think so. The ds classic would need more specific parts like screens compared to the simple pcb in a plastic case that was the snes classic.
>>746220153>I don't think we'll see a 3DS re-release of sorts again for a decade or so.Yeah at best it might occur during an anniversary of the DS/3DS release or whenever Nintendo thinks the nostalgia wave is at its highest but otherwise they will just port individual games instead since that is less effort.DS specifically has a lot of games that heavily use the touchscreen that can't be easily ported, so getting a rerelease that way might be neat.
>>746214681buy 3ds ps vita psp ds gba sp ps2 ps3 nintendo wii gamecube xbox 360 steam deck and then buy a office pc with an 8 core cpu or a ryzen first gen like ryzen 1700 then hack everything u can or buy flashcarts
>>746218831Well I did buy a New 2DS for that purpose, sort of.But I'm probably never getting it back so fuck me, I guess.
Did the N3DS have any meaningful advantage over a 3DS besides the built-in nipple? I already had a 3DSXL with CPP.
>>746215395Trying to finish out Persona Q. Currently on the last floor of Inaba Pride Exhibit and suffering
>>746222313Unlocked clock speed on the better CPU with a hacked N3DS is the main advantage.
>>746214681I'm still not buying a shita, shill.
>>746222313Unhacked? Not really. It was basically just a handful of games and SNES VC games, better performance in the home menus, the home menu doesn't reset when exiting extended memory games like Pokemon or Hyrule Warriors, buttons are much nicer to press and quiet, and 3D eye tracking which is infinitely better than the "Pray you're at the right distance and angle" situation the original had.Hacked? Yes, it's an enormous improvement. Simple example is that due to using the unlocked N3DS power all the time Senran Kagura Burst goes from 15 FPS with drops to single digits to a solid 30 or 60, I forgot which. Many many games become solid 30/60 or don't experience frame dips.NTR doesn't cause weird crashes anymore and I believe lets you swap between games without a system restart unless they have plugins running for translation patches obviously.You have access to better performance in Retroarch and emulators in general.
Can a cfw 3DS play downloaded DS games yet? I think I remember in the early days it wasn't possible.
>>746214681Yeah that's just hyping people up even more, obviously. This happens to retro stuff. >>746223280You need an R4 card. Afaik there's a way to do it without one, but I heard compatibility wasn't guaranteed for everything.
>>746220072>Some mad bastard ported Turok 1, Forsaken (ps1/PC levels version) and Perfect Dark to 3DS all with full stereo 3DOh shit I love Turok, thanks.
>>746223280You absolutely can but considering they both have different resolutions it will either look like shit or comically tiny if you activate pixel accurate display.
>>746215395I wish there's more homebrew/modded cool games like CTGP-7, and I mean shit ton more
>>746223280What's the point? just buy a R4 card. The 3DS plays DS carts anyways so it works.
>>746214681Got one for my bday recently and a cartridge with like 280 games on it. Played my favorites from back in the day and now I’m hitting a few I never played. Pokémon Black/White has a lot more depth than I remember, kind of the highest effort Pokémon game I’ve played. Definitely recommend getting your hands on a DS, the games really hold up.
>>746215624NTA and I agree>>746218973Noted, thanks big dog
>>746224283There is no reason to buy anything but a DS Pico anymore. All other carts have been made completely irrelevant.
>>746214681Why the fuck would anyone buy a 3ds? Unless you're obsessed with owning authentic Nintendo hardware you can just get a third party console for far less with modern hardware and a modern screen that will utterly mog a 15 year old console and also be able to emulate dozens of other consoles as well.
>>746224694Because input latency on touch screens and being unable to play rhythm games. I just got an RG DS and even running on Gamma OS Nano 1.4.1 the touch screen has latency issues making anything that has to deal with touching the screen for more than .2 seconds feels off, and all rhythm games are unplayable no matter the amount of audio delay.The Thor also has to deal with shader caching and the same touch screen latency issues because it's an emulator issue and not hardware.
>>746224694Can't emulate the 3D effect, and for some games it's cool enough to warrant it
>>746224552I haven't played DS games in years. I assumed R4 cards were still the standard. Point is that trying to play DS games on 3DS through softmodding is dumb when theres a physical cart that guarantees compatibility.
>>746224824Nah, they haven't been standard in like a decade at this point. It's been a mix of DSTwo and Acecard clones and now the DS Pico is definitive because it's open source, actively developed, faster, cheaper, and works on everything.
>>746218473black people should wear white glove at all times. or seek whitening treatment for their dark hands
>>746218828Mario had it pretty rough on the 3DS too; Super Mario 3D Land and especially NSMB 2 aren't thought very highly of
Recently started playing ALBW again and I forgot how much I didn't like playing handhelds without some sort of grip attachment. I have no idea where my CPP is, though.
what's even the point of 3ds? the screen is too small and it is so slow that games often look worse than on ps1. psp and switch lite have much better games and those are actual games and not some oldfag nintendo slop
>>746224694Chinkhelds are generally low quality, I have heard lots of complains about their hinges breaking after a couple months of use. Not to mention lack of 3d effect and the subtle differences between capacitive and resistive touch screens.
>>746225508>psp and switch lite have much better gamesBut that's outright wrong.
>>746222313Yes. The games run better because it has an 800mhz CPU instead of 200mhz. The 3D is also improved and is more forgiving of facial movements. If you can get one with IPS screens, the graphics look much improved to the point it's a new experience.
>>746225759>I have heard lots of complains about their hinges breaking after a couple months of use.They don't. It's just fearmongering and blowing things out of proportion.Miyoo systems are the only ones with any known hinge issues at all and their more modern refreshes of the Flip have significantly stronger and better designed hinges.Anbernic's hinges have never had a problem at all across multiple systems to the point that the RG DS in particular feels like you could slam someone in the face while holding the top screen and it would barely move.Retroid had apparent issues early on with their Flip having cracks but since then no one's had any issues.There were only a handful of people showing any sort of cracks forming on the AYN Thor and we don't even know if that was due to them dropping it because no one's had actual issues with the hinges and it was one of the very viral and popular systems akin to the Covid-era Miyoo Mini so at this point we would have heard something but nothing.The issue with all the DS imitators is the capacitive touch screen (It's horrific to try using compared to the resistive screens of the DS and 3DS), input latency introduced by emulation (Can be minimized with certain OSes like Gamma and Linux but never fully removed as of now), and issues with audio in rhythm games. 3DS emulation (Basically only realistically doable on the Thor) also deals with the quirks of 3DS emulation which is shader caching being introduced into the mix.
>>746215395>>746215624>>746218973There's also one on NDS
>>746214681>Here's that 3ds you asked for, sonT-thanks.
>>746218831how is that something I'm supposed to be angry aboutthat's perfectly reasonable
I love my lil fella like you wouldn't believe. Best thing to have on flights.>farm for shinies>play sudoku>read booksIt even does my taxes
>>746229120Based. Best color too.
>>746214681You can emulate it on chinkphone or pcAlso screen is pure shit
>>7462295833ds emulation is shit. Nothing beats real hardware.
i only really used my 3DS to play GBA games
>>746216454Finally, Moose!
>>746214681I still have my 2DS, it's probably over a decade old at this point.
>>746217170I'm not into hentai games
>>746231965LMAO
>>746214681I wish the 3DS got good after market screen mods.Going from a modern display to a N3DS/XL is night and day with how terrible the screen is.
>>746218473Nigg hands, the 3ds in the video is most likely stolen.
Did DSi XLs just shoot up in price?
>>746217565>Not reporting the video for spam/misleading.
>>746232796You need to get a Dual IPS model. The screen drop off is not as significant. The TN displays on 3DS aren't great.
It really is mental illness the performative nature of collectors is laughable they don't even play the game consoles they buy.3DS aren't really that overpriced the new ones are but it takes literally like 30 minutes to mod your 3DS and install US firmware.Please don't pay $300 or $200 for a banged up shitty 3ds or 2ds from greedy fleabay sellers The Japanese 3DS XLs original are like $130-150 used in okay condition and you can get them brand new for $250-300.
>>746218010Why even watch it? Are you retarded? Because shit like that is made by and for retards.
>>746218473>see that>close video>hide thread
>>746215395Picross 3D is much better than 2D.
>>746214681Why are Gamers buying them? They should have at least one in working condition already.
>>746231965ROFL
>>746236223the only way you're getting a dual IPS is if you get insanely lucky and pick one up from someone who doesn't realize they have one or get scammed by someone that does. just settle for an IPS top screen or buy a chinesium DS clone with decent screens
>>746215565Wii U/3DS was the peak of Nintendo's soulless era>Pikmin and Chibi-Robo turned into generic, outsourced 2D sidescrollers>Paper Mario turned into sticker shit>NSMB mandate in full effect for the Mario series in general>Smash 4 focused on marketing and "recency">New Leaf neutered villager dialogue and interactions, introduced Isabelle, made Resetti optional>Amiibo Festival and Happy Home Designer further diluted the uniqueness of AC and turned it into girlslop>Fire Emblem turned into dating slop for women>WarioWare Gold raped the artstyle of the series>Rhythm Heaven was just a "Best Of" with intrusive story segments>Treehouse censorship was at its worst, with third party games like Bravely Default being affected>Pokemon made the jump to 3D and the Ohmori era began>as one final "fuck you", BotW came out at the very end and ruined Zelda
>>746237581Current nintendo is even worse, unfortunately.
I saw a pink launch 3DS at my thrift store yesterday for 99 bucks. It didn't have a charger and I don't know if it works. Should I have gotten it? I already have a vanilla 2DS btw.
>>746237718Tanabe is gone, so current Nintendo is actually much better
>>746237718Eh, not really. Pokemon is just worse and that's more so because they can't hide under the "it's a handheld game so that's why it looks crappy" excuse anymore.
