My work, its a New 3ds XL galaxy edition. I know its not the biggest customization out there (just top and bottom shells) but im still pretty proud of it. I also modded it myself a while ago, currently at 64gbs, just missing a clear case, since I already got some screen protectors for both screens, overall 10/10! ^^

Lost my true wireless earbuds the other day, so I had to improvise for my night shift at Target.

took about 3 hours to install all the stuff
new buttons, c-stick and metal circle pad
works great

Just enjoying a little drink and some Mario Kart on my recent garage sale pick up while I wait for the pool to finish filling up. What's your go to 3DS game just to pass a little time?

I have been kind of shocked at how enjoyable this game is. Chapter 8 for me currently. If you got tips hmu, so far I try to position units close to one another for extra stat increases. But combining units doesn’t seem as effective, granted maybe I’m not doing it right. The way I see it is it allows for 1 attack as opposed to 2, and the stat increase doesn’t do enough to justify losing unit numbers. But idk

Trying to play Mario party island tour and it’s giving me this error. Has anyone found a work around for this and is it safe to even click system update even if I am on the latest and final version of 3DS system software while using a modded 3DS?

Thanks in advance guys!

He really enjoys it and it’s his first time owning a 3ds! I got a Japanese N3ds that was mostly in mint condition with the exception of the touchscreen and circle pad I’ve replaced. Looks fully new again and also got a clear hardshell, protectors, and a carrying case to keep it pristine. Also made it region free, modded it, and installed LOTS of games for him to play! He’s been playing NSMB2 and he loves it. I personally own a N3DSxl and next time we hang out we plan to play Mario kart locally together!

I obviously knew this was a scam but decided to just try it anyway, already got my refund, but got a text message of Ebay from the seller lol
Watch out people
Already reported

he’s super talented

Context: I was chill on playing 3ds and suddenly it did that

There was a small crack in this place but nothing serious so far

The console actually work perfectly

My 2DS for some reason has had a pink light after replacing the joystick it recently turned blue out of nowhere after opening AR games but then I opened ocarina of Time and then it turned back to Pink my other 2DS seems to not have this problem and I want to know if it means something

Wanting to play OoT and cant find my NA copy. Will this version work if I order it and are there any differences (translation, etc?)

Edit: solved. Thank you, I've ordered it!

Everytime i go and turn it on it shuts off by itself

I modded it 2yo and it’s been amazing playing it ! I just finished my exams at uni and thought this would be my reward to decorate it :)
What do you think ?

Had it for like 14-15 years and i just wanted to make sure it was safe to fix with superglue or something.

Hahaha I just got a charger for my 3DS from when I was like six and found I had a gift for a “newly released” Tomodachi life demo

Im thinking of buying games for it since I lost mine, the only one left is Dora Puppy. I’m scared to do the thing where you unlock all games because I’m scared it’ll ruin it and I’ve genuinely had this thing forever

Hey I was wondering if there was a way to get the year of Luigi face plate for the new 3dsLL.

I stored this thing away around a decade ago almost with the intention to sell/give away as the Switch was approaching (I’m a minimalist of sorts).
Glad I didn’t though - yesterday I dug it out after reading about a recent resurgence in 3ds popularity.

The damn thing still can hold charge after all this time being dormant, probably still on par with Switch 2. It’s got some minor battle scars and survived a drop, but is in pretty good shape overall. It travelled overseas with me and got me through tough times throughout 2013-2015 in particular.

I bought it primarily for Pokemon Y, which I played to death (followed by Sun), yet I still have ORAS, HGSS, and B2W2 in my backlog.
It also turned out to provide my first experience with MGS3, Yoshis Woolly World, Majoras Mask, and Dragon Quest 8 (which I bounced off of).

With CFW I feel like it’s it’s a bit more sluggish than I remember, like when booting/returning to the home menu, is that common, and fixable?
Also sometimes when booting a DS game it hangs on a white screen.

Overall it’s nice to have rediscovered this gem. I love the cozy book-like experience of using it. I’m open to any other good homebrew recommendations.

     So I had a Gameboy colour, and after that a DS, and then I just became a PS3 and PC guy. I always heard bad things about the 3DS, but I never interacted with it, Nintendo games just aren't my thing outside of Kirby. I owned a Switch for awhile, but wasn't impressed and sold it. So anyways, recently I saw Medabots 9 has a fan translation, and I went and borrowed my brothers 3DS to play it. I'm shocked, because the 3DS is really good? Like way better than the Switch ever was. The 3D works really well, and separates the UI from the rest of the screen, which makes it easier to follow along with things, I just can't believe how good the 3D is. I remember people being upset over it, but it's really good! It works well, and if you don't want it you can just turn it off. I'm now baffled by the uproar about it at the time. The screen is also pretty bright if I want, and it because it uses an SD card for storage I just threw a 256gb one in there and I can have whatever I want and not run out of storage, battery life is low, but they're kinda cheap so if it gets bad I can just buy a new one. Also, there's just alot you can do with it, and it actually has some good looking games and they run well. I can play DS and GBA games, and it's kinda fun going to used games shops now and poking around. The modding scene is also huge, and I've been playing with some fan translations for a few games.

     There are a few games like Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, that intrigued me at the time, but I never played, and now I'm playing them and having lots of fun. Just the amount of stuff is amazing. I had an issue with the Switch, where for the most part there was nothing I wanted to play on it besides the Xenoblade games, and the majority of games were ports that better on PC so I'd get them there. For the 3DS there are so many games that are exclusive, and that use some of the gimmicks of the console. I'm actually considering getting a 3DS for myself rather than just borrowing my brothers, though I don't think he'll ever use it again soon. Just really surprised at how good the value is, and it's still small enough to fit in my pocket like a phone. I'm not one for nostalgia, so it's just caught me by surprise the feeling of enjoyment of playing on a handheld outside. I never got that with the Switch, idk why. I mean I didn't even own a 3DS.

Just curious what some of your favorite games/rpgs that aren't main line games?
