    Fun fact, these versions of the console not only came with the game preinstalled, but also the DLC installed and available BEFORE it was made available on the eShop. This also means it's the only legal way to get the NSMB2 DLC after the eShop shutdown (assuming you haven't bought it already).

    I know from my experience with repairing 2DS systems that came with Mario Kart 7 that it didn't appear on the home screen when factory resetting them, but going into the eshop would have the game in the redownload software section (note: this is with no account added). So in theory, New Super Mario Bros 2 might be accessible from the eshop.

      I wouldn't pick up a console like the Switch OLED at CeX, where the prices are basically around the same as a brand new product (unless maybe I had a lot of vouchers).
      But for older consoles, I definitely prefer CeX to ebay etc. as while you may get lucky, paying less at various marketplaces, if the console develops a fault, you're out of luck. With CeX you get the 2yr warranty and while what CeX will do/offer changes over the 2yrs (30 Days, 6month and so on), you're paying for a guarantee on an often fairly old product. So I think is worth the extra cost.

    New Super Mario Bros. 2 had been out a while before these bundles came out. Many special 3DS systems didn't come bundled with games, including the Smash for 3DS ones. Really, they're more likely to give away a Mario game in a bundle after it has been available for a while than actually bundle new games with the systems, especially in the post-Iwata era.

      Well, now in the USB-C era, maybe so. But with propietary stuff like Nintendo chargers and other things that ain't no standard, it's just greediness. What is the chance when you buy a brand new handheld console, that you already do have a charger for it?
      And even with USB-C, it's not always the case of "use any old wall brick" but you need to know what's compatible. Still they often do offer a cable but not the charger itself. If you do own a charger, there's a good chance that you do own a compatible cable too.
      Also if you buy a device on a whim on a trip, it's sucky that you can't start using it right away. You do need to fetch a charger for it, or atleast a charging cord if it does not come with it. Again, in the days of USB-C not that big of a deal. But still a bummer.

    If you used super glue to reinforce the connection between the bottom screen frame and the black hinge part that the hinge axle connects to, the hinge would stop wabbling around. The black plastc part inside the right side of the hinge is only press fitted into the housing and it likes to become loose. If you glue it into the hinge, it'll stop it from getting loose and strengthen up the hinge. just make sure, you push the plastic connection piece firmly into the hinge after applying the glue so you can push the axle back into it. If you wanted to, you could apply athesive on every solid mounted part around the axle, so it doesn't round off the rest of the connecting parts. this is what I have done to mine and now the hinge feels solid and it firmly clicks into every resting position.

    How difficult would swapping the internals of a JP 3DS to a US 3DS? I would really like to do that, but don't want to get involved with anything having to do with the top of the clamshell.

      I bought a Japanese New 3DS LL to replace my 3ds, it's very simple and you do not need to switch boards. You simply homebrew your 3ds and then after that you region swap it. The only downside is you cannot transfer your data from your US 3ds to a Japanese 3DS even if you region swap it. I managed to transfer my Streetpass Mii Plaza save and that was enough for me, however for other games you will need to back them up using checkpoint and transfer them that way.
