@Gloryboyquan Vita is a really good system I own a few it's like comparing apples to oranges 2 totally different experiences. I play my 3ds way more than my Vita systems but I like both.
with majora's mask 3d, there's a mod called "Project Restoration" you can download. it adds some of the original features from the N64 and other QOL improvements
@@KotBox it's definetly worth it. it's pretty simple to do. it'll even give you a little jingle upon startup to let you know it was installed correctly.
As much as I like the Switch, it’s very limited in the functionality of a true handheld. No camera, no microphone, no touchscreen used for gameplay, no stylus, no dual screens, no stereoscopic images. And it is big and needs a pouch or sleeve to protect it.
Small, simple physical mod you can do is replace the little nipple with a thumbstick pad from a PSP 1000. It doesn't necessarily require opening up the 3D to swap them. If you don't wanna open it up you can grab the little nubbin with some pliers, pull it out, and cut one of the little loopies and then you can remove it entirely. I did it on mine ages ago and remember liking it? I still have that thing around here somewhere lol
I literally just started using my 3DS again and realized all over again just how special this system truly was. I take it everywhere with me all over again. Alongside the Switch, this truly is my fav system of all time.
My blue 3DS XL was my FAVORITE as a teenager, enough so that I entered (and won doubles in) multiple Smash competitions using my 3DS as my controller, because I was just way more familiar with it than anything else
I swear the 3D gimmick was the only gimmick i truly liked from nintendo's history. Of course they would abandon it. 😜 😢 I'm glad I'm not the only one that loves that personal little diorama feel of the games in the palm of your hands; the best of campy or cozy. ❤
One of the craziest ports will always be the Xenoblade port exclusive to new 3ds. It's still insane to me that that was possible. I'm a little too scared to mod my 3ds family system because my only one is the Hylian shield 2ds XL, but I'm sure that if I had a new 3ds XL that I'd mod it.
i wish i had new 3ds for the great 3d erffect but the form factor of the new 2ds with the easily accessible sd card is so much better, im glad i have that
Heck yeah, I feel like a lot of people (myself included) really started to get into the Homwbrew during lockdown. Thanks for being part of the early squad to pave the way!
hyrule warriors legends is so overhated! it works great with the portable nature of the 3ds and it is still very graphically impressive which makes it that much more fun to play. also you can swap characters on the fly which wasnt in the wii u version
Modded mine back in 2021 and have played it regularly since. My favorite console. Sadly the one I had back then broke but got a pre-owned one a few months after because I missed it so much.
Absolutely one.of my favorite systems I have I own a few New 3ds XL and a couple of the New smaller 3ds. I also have a large physical 3ds game collection as well 😊
@KotBox I have the Majoras Mask Dual ips boxed complete I bought that new when it launched at GS. Two of the red ones and the New Smaller Mario Black Friday Edition complete boxed, JP New Small white boxed. 2ds XL Zelda Hylian Shield I bought new at GS plus a Purple & Silver & White & Orange all complete boxed lastly a launch day 1st gen 3ds with that incredible Candy Apple Red finish.
I remember getting my 2ds back in 2013 summer bundle with Animal Crossing for 82 bucks. Then, in 2015 i sold it to get a NEW 3ds xl and i still have till this day i played along with my Switch lite
What a coincidence I just played Sonic The Lost World on my 2DS XL (what's 3DS to me because it's literally the same) and pam you uploaded a video about a 3DS my childhood's favourite handheld console since 2011 and my favourite games on a 3DS are Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Mario & Luigi Dream Team Bros, Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Bros, Paper Mario Sticker Star, Pokémon ORAS, X & Y, Sun & Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Detective Pikachu, Monster Hunter Stories, The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds, Yo-Kai Watch 2 Bony Spirits, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Mario & Sonic at the Olympics London 2012 & Rio 2016, Sonic Boom Fire & Ice and Sonic Lost World I have a great childhood and teenage times with a 3DS, but Switch replaced it's place and can't wait for Switch 2 thanks for Nintendo being always in my life: Here we go! 🎉😊
as much as i love the new 3ds line (my new 2ds xl is my baby) i still think the zl and zr buttons are.. kinda pointless? and even a bad thing because it made the l and r buttons have to be smaller to fit the zl and zr buttons on the system. still, i think the rest of the inputs are pretty great (except the c stick, but that isnt as bad as people say. i think it just needed to be a lil bigger and be there from the start)
I had the new 2ds XL from trading my old 3ds XL then a guy on OfferUp wanted to trade their new 3ds XL with my new 2ds XL so I did I love the new 3ds XL but it’s still too big for my hands so I’m giving it to my brother and buying a new 3ds non XL in black with custom faceplates
@@eliserss haha yeah and I have regular sized hands but I find the XL too big still lol sure thr screens are nice ofc but it does not fit my pocket and I love the aesthetic of the small one more. I found one on eBay for $185 that’s the cheapest I could find it’s from Japan ofc
@ i have to admit that the small 3ds systems do look really nice.. i like the new 2ds xl more than the new 3ds xl visually so i got that instead but in terms of aesthetics i'd say that the original blue and black 3ds is the prettiest console i've seen
The 2DS XL is better than the New 3DS XL I hated having to unscrew the back just to swap out micro SD cards & the back plate for the New 3DS XL is brittle & easily breaks. Having the micro SD card slot on the front of the 2DS XL is way better
Na the 2ds xl is way worse. The build quality is horrible and repairs are a pain in the ass. On the new 3ds and new 3ds xl almost every part is modular and easy to replace/repair, on the 2ds xl you have to know how to solder to replace pretty much anything. And with how expensive these consoles are getting you should want yours to be easily fixable so it can last as long as possible. The micro sd card slot doesn’t matter one bit since you can just transfer files over WiFi with ftpd
@@GlitchyGokuBlack it is, but believe what you want. When your shoulder buttons inevitably stop working and you have to learn how to solder to replace them, you’ll remember me
I have the new 3ds XL from a trade yes I love it ofc but man it’s heavy and big so I’m giving it to my brother and getting the new 3ds non XL I love the custom face plates haha
I've had the same 3ds for close to two decades. Just got a new battery for it and it's running great. Now if only the friggin' shoulder buttons would work...
@KotBox you should check out the ps vita modding scene they got the full game of the simpsons hit and run to run on it and half life they even got some dreamcast game to run on it and don't forget that amazing oled screen it has
I sold mine last year for 170, I needed the money, I was lucky enough to buy one, on a better state for 180, but ever here else I saw the price is 300 insane
vita better
Oh I plan on getting to the Vita someday don't you worry 👀
You trippen
@Gloryboyquan Vita is a really good system I own a few it's like comparing apples to oranges 2 totally different experiences. I play my 3ds way more than my Vita systems but I like both.
The vita is pretty cool, it’s just a shame there’s only like 3 good games
Vita had no good games and memory cards were a pain
"You need to buy a 3DS"
Please, I already have three, don't encourage me
Hello it's me your local bad influence, it sounds like you need another one lmao
My kids have confiscated my regular 3ds and XL. I have an LL japanese one to mod and that one's mine
pump those numbers up, boy
No way I got the notification for this video the day I started playing my 3ds for the first time in a year
It's time for the 3DS Renaissance!

@nyancorp Switch was Nintendo playing it safe after their slow painful Downfall in the 2010s

I did it on mine ages ago and remember liking it? I still have that thing around here somewhere lol
This sounds like the perfect excuse to buy a PSP that I don't need 👀
Even better use the red nipple from a Lenovo think pad, it fits way better than a psp stick and feels better to use too
man, now i want a video named "You Need to Have a PSVITA" just for the joke lol, a long last battle between psvita and 3ds
Who says I don't plan on that one someday 👀
my favorite part was the miles
it took me 12 minutes of video to notice that the microphone is a wii mote lmfao
You know I keep that thiing on me
Gotta stay STRAPPED for StreetPass
I literally just started using my 3DS again and realized all over again just how special this system truly was. I take it everywhere with me all over again. Alongside the Switch, this truly is my fav system of all time.
Until today I am playing some great games: Samus Returns, Link Between Worlds, Planet Robobot
I've heard great things about Planet Robobot. I haven't played a Kirby game in forever, maybe that should be my next one
My blue 3DS XL was my FAVORITE as a teenager, enough so that I entered (and won doubles in) multiple Smash competitions using my 3DS as my controller, because I was just way more familiar with it than anything else
Now that's Champion behavior right there. Mad respect for using the 3DS controller method. It handles surprisingly well
I swear the 3D gimmick was the only gimmick i truly liked from nintendo's history. Of course they would abandon it. 😜 😢 I'm glad I'm not the only one that loves that personal little diorama feel of the games in the palm of your hands; the best of campy or cozy. ❤

Oh man, I totally forgot about that port!! And I get it, modding can be intimidating, but you can back stuff up to your PC just in case!
Just bought a 3DS XL in MINNNNTTT CONDITION
WE GO WILES FOR DA MILES
im MILESIN out babyyyyy
I have both Switch and 3DS modded and my 3DS gets more action.
When you have more views than subscribers, you know you're doing well ;)
Finally! I was waiting man!
Wait no more! Next video should hopefully take less time to piece together lmao
@ I hope so!
@@KotBoxI’ll probably get a wii u and a 3ds somewhere in the summer.
i wish i had new 3ds for the great 3d erffect but the form factor of the new 2ds with the easily accessible sd card is so much better, im glad i have that
Makes sense! I've been tempted to double dip and get a 2DS as well
Why not both?
The 3ds also runs GBA games natively once you exploit it.
So true!! I knew the potential the 3ds had because I got into the homebrew before the pandemic… got one for cheap near perfect condition!!
Heck yeah, I feel like a lot of people (myself included) really started to get into the Homwbrew during lockdown. Thanks for being part of the early squad to pave the way!
Amazing Video 🌀
Thank you!

Facts. It's one of my favorite ports just for the sheer size and impressive quality.
Modded mine back in 2021 and have played it regularly since. My favorite console. Sadly the one I had back then broke but got a pre-owned one a few months after because I missed it so much.
I love seeing how many people still love their system. I should do a Mario Kart 7 Pretendo stream with y'all sometime! Would be crazy fun
I have 3, but I clicked on this video anyway
Absolutely one.of my favorite systems I have I own a few New 3ds XL and a couple of the New smaller 3ds. I also have a large physical 3ds game collection as well 😊

@@KotBox that is a nice platformer and I wan't to get Shattered Crystal too.
You need to bring your 3ds to pax east! 🎉
I'd love to make it to PAX someday! That and MagFest have always been on my list

I been playing platinum and soul silver on my Pokemon 20th anniversary 3ds.
Good thing I still have one! :D
I been had a 3ds for years now. Modded it to play Shin Megami Tensei.
Get this man more subscribers!!
I've been thinking about it but they're so expensive where i live.
literally just got one last week and got it all modded out. been playing a bunch of Ocarina of Time 3d Rando on it
Oh man I didn't even consider a randomizer mod, might have to get that going for myself!
How do you do the mods for Metroid Hunters?
If you look up "Twilight Menu Wide-screen" that should point you in the right direction!

jokes on you i got 3
Bought one yesterday... how strange
Nice! Which version did you get?
@ NEW 3DS XL - Sun & Moon special edition! Cost me £250.... cool though
@woop3024 nice, maybe have been expensive but hey that's a good investment for a sleek looking console
Oh boy another "you need a 3DS" UA-cam video don't mind if i do (i already bought 3)
I'm here to feed the addiction lol
No sir I just got a wiiu, I won't get a 3ds (I said that last year about the wiiu
The 3DS urge comes to us all eventually lol
