Since this device is completely unsupported now, I think its totally valid to mod ur devices at this point. I recommend considering homebrew down the line, as new methods will not brick ur device :) but I agree, I miss the eshop too but I never bought that much off of it. I still have my cartridges but it would’ve been nice if I had my games digitally from the beginning!! I have since home-brewed but I recc going that route, its so fun!
@@deezersnuttions Not at all, you can still play your games and collect them as you normally would, modding is a good option if you’d like to expand your library/customization now that the shop is gone with custom themes and even fan-made games/ports :) I have a lot of my physical games still and a few others are games i’ve always wanted to play
There is something special about your first/main 3ds and not homebrewing it. I have the same mentality with mine. I have some homebrewed 3ds’ but my original profile has stayed stock. I feel like it would invalidate the time and money I spent on it if I just added everything, as silly as it sounds. When the eshop was closing, among other smaller games, I panic bought Pokemon X, Alpha Sapphire, and Ultra Sun. Even though I had the carts I wanted portable save file on my main console lol
Just hack your 3DS, modding it isn’t “tarnishing it” there’s almost zero chance of actually bricking it. You’d had every game and console your heart desired and a ton of themes and plenty of other super cool stuff including internet play
Love it! But I wanna know before anything else go for the New 3DS XL Do you suggest the black or white pearl colour? Does the white gets yellowish or dirty in the long run?
Do you mean just the new 3ds? THe xl never came in those colors at least not in the states. The mario edition new 3ds came in black and white and I have a white one and still looks good

This is why it's basically essential to softmod your 3DS in 2024.
This is true! I will for an older 3Ds I have
@@theretrouniverse There's really no reason anymore _to_ leave a 3DS stock. May as well do it with all of 'em that you have.

I'll think about it. Might just end up doing it to one of my other 3ds's
