      Those things have such good battery life because of the 240i resolution. if it was like. lets say 360p then the battery would go out way faster. wich is why high resolution laptops have such poor battery life. [Mine is 1440p and only goes for like an hour and a half]

      My battery died a couple of months ago. Just called up Nintendo and they send a knew one in the mail for a reasonable price. I was thinking of just ordering two and keeping one as a back-up because, compared to the switch, I'll probably be playing 3DS regularly for years to come

But I also had all the capacities today you'll might not find like StreetPass encounters (I have like 700 miis in my console). But you have a lot of games cheaper you dont have to wait anymore like Luigi's Mansion; fantastic remake I recommend it.

Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Super Street Fighter IV 3D edition, Super Smash Bros.

      TBH, as purely a handheld I think it's better than the Switch. I think it's because of the really good battery life, especially if you get a larger battery from online. It helps that it also has much better virtual console support and you can fit so many games on the SD Card. Overall, the Switch is better, but when I'm travelling the 3ds is way more reliable.

    To everyone who sees this comment:
    At this point, just mod your 3DS. It's stupid easy, and adds so much missing functionality. You can have custom home menu themes and you can even inject GBA games to use the VC emulator the ambassador GBA games used. I used this to play Rhythm Tengoku and it's godly.
    Edit: Here's a link to the guide on how to do it, if you're thinking about it: 3ds.hacks.guide/
    The risk of bricking is like a million to one if you follow the instructions exactly, and I messed up a couple times in setup of mine and my 3DS was fine and is now fully set up with CFW.

      The 3DS doesn't have a gba emulator. It's playing them natively by using the ds hardware which has gba hardware. This means while the 3DS has full gba compability, any features of the 3DS (or even the DS) are locked out and you can't really get the typical features of an emulator. I think the new 3ds is compatible with a decent gba emulator though

    As good as the Switch may be, the biggest thing the 3DS had going for it was the charm it had compared to the Switch.
    From something as simple to gradients, to ambient music in the menus, to the *Mii Maker and Eshop having music* (with the Eshop using unique music every few months!)
    The Switch, on the other hand? Flat colors, silent everything, *only 2 themes*. The best way you can remedy most of these issues is if you dive into the world of Homebrew to install themes and the like, but even that has consequences. Got my console banned because of it, though I never really used online all that much.
