  • Animal Crossing New Horizons is on the Horizon! I look back closely at the Nintendo 3DS & mod an Animal Crossing New 3DS XL to celebrate! I also compare the 3DS to the Switch to show what the 3DS still offers that the Switch does not. The 3DS is an incredible system, even in 2020 that won't soon be forgotten!

    I DO NOT support piracy or emulating pirated games! Do not recommend it or talk about it, please. I will not soft mod my system. Doing so could lose eshop functionality. Soft modding also allows game cheating. I don’t want to show people how to potentially pirate either. Doing a hardware swap is completely legal and leaves the system just as Nintendo intended.

      I have a Japanese new 3ds (not LL/XL) and soft modding and flashing a different region firmware is the only way I’m able to play my carts. I don’t use pirated software, only community projects and eshop games. Yes, modding opens the door to piracy and cheating, but so does using a PC, where pirating and cheating is much easier than on the 3ds in any form.

We own 12- 3ds units and dont intend to give up playing them. 2 screens makes games unique and also i own multiple copies of sims 3 and is the only game we can play in 3d!,its our fav unit even owning ps vita etc. Nintendo lost us with the switch.Have a nice day.

      It's already outsold the 3DS and is super close to the Wii, so I don't think backwards compatibility would honestly help too much. Also, one screen and no disc slot means it wouldn't work with either Wii U or 3DS sadly.

The 3ds can play NES, SNES, GBA, GBC, DS, and 3DS games all in one console (supported by nintendo, it can do other consoles too with fan emulators)! A very valuable purchase.

      It's missing 23 furniture series NOT including the special furniture you can get from events or buy with those coins that you get from walking, it's missing the classic things like gryoids, ore, it only has 2 shops compared to new leaf that has a whole mainstreet of shops, the villagers are absolutely stale in new horizons (they repeat the same dialogue and never hold a conversation that lasts more than 5 lines), it's missing errands that your villagers ask you to do (it might get a little tedious but most people miss this in new horizons. Villagers are basically just decor now), the cafe that you could work in, the second museum floor where you could display things, a dream suite where you can visit other towns without actually going there or knowing the person, tortimer island where you can do minigames and meet players around the world, easy time travel, town reset, etc without going into your switch settings, basic QoL features, customisation for your house, the town hall and other things, public works projects that actually looked cool and probably way more.

Did recently get the new animal crossing for the switch thought fantastic game! The better be bringing out a second Tomodachi Life, and a Miitopia 2 aswell for the Nintendo Switch. I have a Happy Home Designer 3DS XL because my previous pink XL smashed.. OOPS- lol!

But ahhhh because they are so cheap hopefully they are easily replaceable when I go to my next Game Store when this Pandemic is over.

If you haven't done all that then heck yes the 3DS is worth it in 2020!!!! Games were released for it less than a year ago still! To name one, Persona Q2!

Wel lthe DS lite i sold to upgrade to the 3Ds then but I should have kept all my games especially my beloved Soul Silver. So now, it's all about rebuilding my game collection and eventually have the old titles I enjoyed playing. I definitely recommend getting a 3ds or 2ds xl if you haven't already.

    The 3ds was a durable goddamn brick and I love it for that. It's small enough to fit in your pocket like a phone and has no trouble staying there. The switch was disappointing on the portable side for me in that regard. The joy cons had the durability of an egg, each time I used them and they did something even remotely weird like not read one of my inputs I would panic for fear of my 70 dollar controllers spontaneously breaking for no good reason, added to the fact that the console was much larger and the joycons had no built-in protection like the 3ds did. Meanwhile my chad 3ds has just now encountered input issues with it's b button (and not even severly) after *3000* hours of use. Impo, the 3ds has set a standard of portable gaming that the Switch could ever live up to. I will usually just try to play that thing docked with my pro controller whenever given the opportunity.

    I don't have many games for it, but they are all great games. Still, funny enough I find myself mostly playing two games on it. A Mahjong game I found in the eshop and Out Run 3D (also from the eshop).
    I never liked mahjong type of games since the 80s when I first found one in the arcades. Yet for some reason I love playing the one on this console. As for Out Run, this version is easily, by far, the best version I have ever played since the original arcade.

      where did you buy from? i can't find them sold anywhere besides amazon, and even the reviews about them are very low.

    I still play my 2ds XL nearly every day. I've found that I play my DS games on it the most. I have a large library and the 2ds XL has nice big screens and a circle pad. Neither of which my DS Lite has!

      Nice! We love using the 3DS and New 2DS still so we recently launched our new survival horror game exclusively for New 3DS/ New 2DS. We're hoping we sell enough copies to support us bringing 2 more exclusive horror games to 3DS this year. Plus, we're doing a giveaway on our twitter @silverfallsgame right now!

    I don't know why I wasn't subscribbed to your channel before.
    I've seen some parts of your painful journey to get the best screens possible in the past, and it's nuts.
    When I was younger I broke two DS Lite because of ONE ribbon cable in each of them, so seeing this monstrous number of ribbon cable in the New 3DS makes me admire your skills and the courage to do it lol

    Of course it is. Each to his own on what he/she enjoys. Great video! Going to get one soon to play previous Pokemon and Fire Emblem games.

    Absolutely it's worth it. The sonic series are available in 3D among my favorite AFTERBURNER and many more! I personally have the SNES console version, totally awesome.

    I still love my n3dsxl. Enough to do a partial shell swap to replace some surface damage, which was a pain in the butt. So many good games between 2ds & 3ds carts. Sadly cart prices are through the roof right now, but the 3ds eshop is still up at time of posting, so I've recently been stocking up, trying to get all the games I want while they're still available - and backing up my microsd for safekeeping.

    This brings back memories. I got my first 3DS xl the Christmas they came out. It was the shiny blue. I played that for hours at a time. I loved it. I had it for many years. Before we sold it. My favorite game was Lugis Mansion. Such a good game.
