    This console aging like fine wine. This a premium console to play games from GBC to 3ds . It’s had a huge library

    I absolutely love my modded 3DS XL. I never had one growing up so now Iam able to play thru all the games I missed without having to purchase them, amazing.
    I hope at some point down the line Nintendo releases another clam shell design dedicated handheld.

    I love how I can play Chrono Trigger on DS systems since they haven't come out with it yet on Switch. For me, it's worth having one for that alone.

      Try it on a modded wii u! Can inject it into a DS title, and then you have access to wii u features like button remapping, pixel blur (I forget what the feature is actually called, but it actually makes this game like really nice), and save state.

    Modded 3ds is everything I wanted. Getting access to any game I am feeling like is sooo nice. Switch games are so overpriced right now. But the fact that I paid the same for my 3ds xl used with some scratch as a brand new switch lite is kinda meh. But this console has been going up in popularity like crazy lately. The 3ds xl is indeed way easier to transport and less fragile which I love! All in all, I'm excited to experience all the Pokemon, Zelda and big games I have missed out on.

    I got a "new" Nintendo 3DS XL from someone at my school for only 5$ since it was in cosmetically bad condition and he just wanted to get rid of it. It was originally black, but after replacing the outside top shell, outside bottom shell, and battery cover with red ones. So I basically made my own "custom" "new" Nintendo 3DS XL that is red on the exterior and black on the interior. I also had to replace the micro SD card slot and speakers due to the micro SD card slot being dented down and the speakers being busted, but it wasn't difficult to do the repairs and I spent 30$ to buy the parts. So I basically bought it for just 35$ after I repaired it, which was less than a quarter than what those go for on eBay! Probably one of my best purchases ever and I'm very happy with it!

    3ds greatest handheld ever. would prefer an updated 3ds form factor over the Switch TV/handheld hybrid design (which is admittedly superior to Xbox/PsX). Wish they would just update it. the fact you could close it with one hand, both screens 100% protected, game paused, fits invisibly in your pocket then back to the action in an instant was genius.

    People know that the Citra emulator has been taken down because it was made by the same people that made the Switch emulator. But what a lot of people are forgetting is that Retroarch still works with 3DS so it's actually not that big of a problem

    Nice video, you gotta love the 3DS!
    One little correction though: the Super Mario 3D game is called Super Mario 3D Land (not World, which is for the WiiU and later for the Switch), and it's one of the best Mario games out there in my opinion.

    While you're right on most points, you're kinda dropping the ball on preservation. What you need to know, is that unlike most older cartridge based consoles from Nintendo, 3DS cartridges use flash memory. Why does that matter? Well older consoles' cartridges use "mask rom". That means: the data is actually "soldered" onto the cartridge. As a result, it can never lose its data.
    Flash memory on the other hand traps electrons in a grid, but slowly leaks over time, making it unreadable after several years.
    I've read somewhere that 3DS cartridges are rated to last 20 years. Beyond that, it's anyones' guess, but they WILL lose their data at some point. N64, SNES, or gameboy cartridges, however, will keep their data forever. (or at least for as long the solder joints last)
    So for preservation's sake, digital 3DS games are actually better IF you also back them up from time to time. (and have more than 1 backup). After all, the storage devices you'd use for backup will degrade over time too.

    • @DanyTheMe
      @DanyTheMe 4 месяца назад

      Maybe cartridges, but downloaded games are stored on sd cards which only loose their data if you exceed the write/rewrite capacity on the card, but if you just download the games and updates and don't constantly add/delete things from the card it'll hold that content indefinitely.
