The Reason Nintendo 3DS Is So Expensive Right Now

Tiktok: @GamersChoiceTalk

The Nintendo 3DS (also called 3DS or N3DS) is a handheld video game console made by Nintendo which can display 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.

This is why I bought a used Japanese one for $70 and spent 6 hours disabling the regionlock that prevented me from making the language into English

They're not resellers they're SCALPERS

Times like these make me glad I’ve managed to maintain my 3DS from 2013 with minimal damage 😭

Just remember, don’t pay these ridiculous prices for a 3DS, especially the older models!

[PERFECTFIRE]

I'm glad I still kept my same 3DS from 2015. (Black New 3DS XL to be specific)

the mfs on ebay selling a used new 3ds xl for almost $400: 🗿

Been loving my 3ds for over 10 years now. Probably my favorite handheld ever

[nobyra]

Thought of buying one but a 3DS going as high as they are is pure insanity. They're not old enough to be rare or new enough to cost almost as much as a new system no matter how easily it is to mod.

I lost my original 2ds but I recently picked one up for $90 and it came with a carrying case and 2 games and I love it.

These prices make me glad I kept my 3DS that I got Christmas of 2016

This is just a list of why you should buy a 3ds, NOT why its so expensive. Scalpers are why.

me regretting my decision of turning in my old 3ds into game stop 5 years ago 😢

[somebutter]

I feel like most of the reason they cost so much rn is because most of the kids that grew up with these systems are nostalgic over them. Physical 3DS games are crazy expensive now too, especially games released later in the 3DS life cycle.

These are just good reasons to get one, the real reason why the prices of the 3DS have increased are resellers thinking the 3ds is worth more than it is AND people on youtube are always telling their viewers in videos that they should get a 3DS so now the demand has increased and since it has, people used that opportunity to raise the prices to almost original retail price or more

[sillydude]

paid 170 for a basically brand new, new 3ds xl, crazy to see it go for like 300-500 dollars in such crappy condition too

[whisperingwooper]

This is why I’m glad I kept my old 3ds xl and recently modded it. It was super easy to do and yeah it technically isn’t as fast as the new 3ds but still works perfectly well it isn’t that much of a difference where I want to spend an extra $200 to get a slightly fast boot up time once it plays games I don’t notice any difference.

Its gonna expensive since demand high and special edition limited consoles atleast 50 people fight over 2 items in auction and 80% have scratches on screen

[xiqikxx]

There’s this cute 3DS XL that only came out exclusively for UK and it’s a Princess Pink one and it’s being sold for almost $400 since it’s super rare in that color

Nintendo 3ds is so expensive right now

not for me atleast i found one for just 70 euro

[-elvis-]

A month ago, I bought a black New 3DS XL in a used products app, 130€ (im from Spain) it incluided a case. I also bought a 1€ 3ds pencil because it was broken and a 64 gb sd card (you can use it on the 3ds with a program on PC that changes his format to fat32). With 140€ i bought one of the best consoles of all time, i hacked it (fbi and twilight menu), i can play 3ds, ds, gba, gb games.
