I own a New 3DS XL and have been looking to downscale to the smaller one for a while now because the large size no longer feels comfortable in my hands.

[butterknife]

The matte black on the new 3ds looks so much better then the glossy new 3ds xl.

[abplayz]

I’m mainly buying one to experience my childhood again, I loved Mario and Luigi superstar saga.

Awesome. Now I kind of want a 3DS alongside my 2DS XL. Lol. I live in Taiwan and actually it's not too hard to find them used on our shopping platforms.

The only problem that I'm faced with is that my 2DS XL would probably no longer see much use and I don't go out too much.

If I had someone in my family that would play the 3DS library of games and DS titles, then I would probably grab them a 3DS second hand as a gift.

I can really see the appeal though with the smaller form factor and sharper display. For somebody who needs to go out a lot and really need something extra portable, the 3DS all the way.

Great video!

Finally someone acknowledges pixel density. I don't know about anyone else, but XL screens irritate me because I can see black in between the color red.

Have you replaced the C-Stick with the PSP-1000 analogue stick cap yet?

Ive had a 2ds xl since it launched, used it a load ton, it was the ultimate Pokemon machine. Lol but my a button starting messing up, it still works but I have to press down harder then the other buttons. I decided to buy the sun and moon 3ds xl, I managed to get it for an inflated price, not to much, but I'm pretty satisfied with mine, its sleek and the build quality is way better than the 2ds xl one. It came pretty minty too lol I also overpayed for a boxed PokeBall 2ds xl lol

I got one with the Mario themed wooden cover plates a couple of days ago. Definitely prefer it to my New 2DS XL.

My favorite 3DS model is the ice white launch model. May not be the best 3DS, but in my opinion it’s the best looking

I was able to find a fairly new New 3DS on Facebook Market Place for $200 including the charger and three games. He originally wanted $300, but after some time and talking, he accepted my offer. Don't be afraid to send in an offer or negotiate! I bought a travel case, screen protectors, and stylus pack for an additional $20 on Amazon. I've got my old DS LITE and DSi with a good amount of games that I look forward to using again just on a newer model. I wanted to get the system because our phones don't exactly have Animal Crossing, Fossil Fighters, or any Mario games that I want to place again. :) Childhood memories as well. My brother, his bestfriend, and myself all plan to do a local co-op on our DS's, so that's going to be a lot of fun!

Like the face plates. Hope you're still gaming on the system. I still game on my NEW 3DS XL. I know the whole world is Switch bound(which is fine), but it doesn't replace the 3DS. Both could've co-existed easily. Oh well..

I have mine 2017 2ds XL and new 3ds on 2016 japanese version and the 3D on new 3ds is more stable compare to the old 3ds.

[Raddish-IS-Radd]

1:25 I just realized that coverplate is of mario characters in cameo color its not just random patterns which is actually kinda cool

[leeartlee]

To each their own but I’ve always found the screen size on the original 3DS to be just too small. I felt that way with the OG Gameboy, the Gameboy Advance, and the launch DS. Maybe it’s just years of looking at massive tvs, smart phones, tablets, and the like but anything smaller than what’s on the XL just feels punny. But he’s not wrong, the image will be shaper on the smaller models. But I’d take overall visibility of sharpness any day. Besides, if you want a sharp image, the 3DS line is probably not the device for you.

[markhovscrch]

I own New 3DS XL and great I used to play lots of games but only focus on SMT IV and Kunio River City, I previously own original 3DS Japan which has bit slower but louder sadly I sold it as 70% price than I first owned it.

I was lucky to bid on the last minute 3 years ago and get it for $80. I actually wanted an new xl. The person didnt do their research, and the 3ds wasnt an xl(if I actually knew the differeces in models at the time I would have actually known this dude was wrong lol) it was the same model you have but white with colored buttons. I have a normal 2ds before this hacked, so when I got it I was surprised to see that not only was it hacked but it was the Japanese version. This person didnt list none of that but oh well I changed the language, and can change it back at any time. It was such a steal!

It seems so hard to find the standard size new 3ds I can only ever find the new 3ds xl and organic 3ds and 3ds xl.

[DarkJ]

My problem with this model is….. the battery
I noticed lately that it cannot last full hour before going red
I believe because I have been using it since 2017. Is the battery the same one as the 2DS?

Why do i still play my 3ds? Atlus games baby

[shaungreer]

got paid yesterday and managed to get one for £105, i haven’t had a 3ds since 2016, although i have played my girlfriends 2ds, so i’m quite excited to play all the games i used to play as a kid, the og 3ds was my first console 🖤

[chavawinnie]

I also own this system, but my worries are the battery. It seems easier to find replaceable batteries for the XL, while you seem to have to go third party for the New 3DS. Everything else, this is my favorite 3DS.
