Cause I got BIG hands. Edited by Sam Essig and Scott Wozniak Main Channel: @ScottTheWoz Twitter: / scottthewoz Facebook: / scottthewoz Instagram: / scottthewoz
@@Kilo_MilesThe standard 3ds won in design because it was very sleek and I loved the way the clamshell kinda sealed closed. But besides asthetics, the 3ds xl was better in every way
Core memory of mine is that I finally got a 3DS in Cosmo Red as a reward from my dad for doing well in school as I'd urged him all year about it, and then literally the next week the 3DS XL was announced in the Nintendo Direct
Memory of mine: My Dad said he would get me a Nintendo 3DS when I was 11. But Christmas that year, I was 7, and unwrapped the Nintendo 3DS XL in blue. My Dad went "Whaaaaat? You're not 11!" And I just said "Uh, yes I am!" I don't think I could ever be that cool again.
When I was in middle school, I remember finally convincing my parents to buy me a 3DS XL. They got it in January of 2015... One month before the *New* 3DS. Still hurts to this day.
Exact same situation. I think it was already announced when I bought mine but my family just opted for the cheaper version. We didnt know nintendo would drop support for the classic like a brick
I had a normal 3DS that got stolen. After I got my first job, I was looking into buying myself the New 3DS when I saw the order history (shared the amazon account with my mom) and saw a 3DS XL in there 💀 So I both had to act surprised when I got the gift and not buy the New 3DS because I didn't want to just immediately replace a gift.
If Scott's gaming shame was getting a DSi while he still had a perfectly fine DS Lite just because of a camera, mine was getting a NEW 3DS XL while I still had a perfectly working 3DS just because of SNES games. I honestly forgot that there even was a vanilla 3DS XL.
@NovaMaster375 I've emulated snes on a cfw 3ds xl, and it is not perfect whatsoever. It works but it's too choppy for it to not annoy "purists". Have you ever emulated snes on a vita? It's a more powerful system yet it still sucks at snes. Even with max overclock a lot of games will drop frames or straight up not run at full speed. You do need a new 3ds for a perfect experience, because the new 3ds actually has a faster CPU than the ps vita and emulation is CPU intensive. The only person I've heard saying the snes thing is a marketing gimmick is scott, who probably isn't as experienced with emulation. Nintendo needs performance to be consistent before they can sell the games on eshop (i say after how 64 ran on switch)
@@hikerclarence7092 that has nothing to do with the 3ds itself though. the dsi hates running gba games even though the ds lite and ds run it perfectly through the card slot
3DS XL way my favourite 3DS model Stylus was in the right spot, L + R and circle pad were big, Start, Select and Home were in the best place, volume slider was in easy reach. And the SD card wasn't in an absolutely unreachable spot. It was the best model imo
I think when the phrase "I have big hands" was as common as it was, the people saying it probably actually had average size hands and the 3DS was just too small all around
Worth noting too that smaller hands are more common in Japan since people there are shorter, so handhelds like the original 3DS were designed with that in mind.
My 3DS XL died years ago, and I’ve been wanting to replace it forever. So I decided to this week. And it arrived today, and it’s the exact same color as the one in this video. That’s pretty cool f*cking timing.
I missed the whole 3DS era sadly. I was in my teenage edgy "Nintendo is dumb I only want gritty and gorey shooters" era during that time, but in 2020 I picked up a used 3DS XL off of ebay so I could play some of the stuff I missed, and I had a good time with it! Only issue I had is that at one point the top half of the circle pad stick broke off and just completely crumbled. I was able to glue the actual rubber pad back on the stick at least without too much issue or mess, but now it feels a bit off whenever I play since the upper half of the circle is missing. Still more than playable at least, and other than that it's worked very nicely for me
Fun fact: I had my 3ds XL on the school bus a few years ago and some kid slammed his bag into it while getting to his seat, so it fell on the floor. I pick it up, and somehow it still functions, but the two screens were just barely holding onto each other, pretty much just with a couple wires holding it together 💀
That's a fun fact? "Fun fact guys, did you know RUclips commenter 'pokeminion64' had a 3ds and some kid hit it with his backpack? I dunno I guess it still worked but had some damage to it,not totally sure"
3DS XL has a special place on my heart, being the first console I bought first-hand on release month with my own money, I take countless picture of it and basically become my second gadget beside my cellphone that I brought daily with me, surprisingly robust and it survives 7 years of use until 2019 when I bought switch lite.
The 3DS XL was more like what the launch 3DS should’ve been. Even though I don’t like the color scheme of that 3DS XL, it was the revised design that helped boost the 3DS sales!
I still don't know how it happened but my mom ordered 1 zelda edition 3ds xl from Amazon and we sonehow got 2? But we were only charged for 1! It took weeks of convincing but eventually she let me put a capture card in the 2nd one and i started streaming. Those were the days. My hands are HUGE
I never understood the complaint about the placement of the styles on the original 3ds, like i mean sure the first few times you'll probably have to actually look where it is, but once you know where it is you never have to look again
I had a wii in the house before this, but this was the first console i got that was MINE. I remember my dad pulling it from the top shelf of his closet on my birthday, and i was only like 5 so i didn't know about it, but i knew i liked nintendo because of my wii. It was the red and white mario version with the coins, he told me he got it specially from mexico 😂. I still have it, and I've since modded it (dont tell the ninjas). As a console, it's become my personal favorite.
ive actually been considering selling my nintendo switch because i dont use it anymore and getting a second hand 3ds instead. i wanna know what other peoples thoughts/experiences are on this matter though before i do, so if anyone has something to say about this, please do!
The 3DS XL is really good. Unfortunately, I broke mine in July after trying to play the Golden Temple level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, but I’ll never forget the good times I had with that thing 💖
i grew up with a limited edition mario version nintendo 3ds xl, and i loved it. 5 years later i accidentally stepped on the screen and had to get a new one which ended up just being the original model, and since then i have missed my xl. the nintendo 3ds xl holds a strong place in my heart that i dont think even a new nintendo 3ds would take away if i got one
If you're talking about the red one with mario on the front and luigi on the back, I still have and use mine and it's AWESOME. I even homebrewed it recently
I have a black one named Tyrone. (Me and my friend named him. We have a bad/good sense of humor.) Anyways, Tyrone is missing his ass. And his bottom screen is broken. I will fix him. One day. Until then, he sits with my 2ds and DS lite, collecting dust. I miss playing it so much. I shouldve never opened the back.
I got my first 3DS from my cousin, who got a day 1 black 3DS to play OoT3D, and eventually I got the LBW 3DS XL for Christmas of the year it came out and it’s been my main 3DS ever since! I’ve modded it and still play it a bunch to this day!
My favorite system to 🏴☠️ You can extract the SD card easily instead of building a scaffolding around the New 3DS XL and dig 7 feet under just to get the card out.
I got the blue one for christmas of 2012 and a week later New Super Mario Bros 2 because of my birthday. I played the shit out of that console non-stop. And even though I only had Contra 4, M&L Dream Team, 3D Land, NSMB2 and PES 2011 (yeah, I don't know why I had that one) I enjoyed them as much as I could. That was until I sold the console complete in box and 3 games (just the Mario ones) for the miserable amount of 100 bucks back in 2017. I want so bad to travel 7 years in the past to kick my younger-self
You see that DSi XL on the screen at 3:23? See that fat ass pen? I DIDN'T GET ONE OF THOSE PENS!! WHERE THE F##K DID MY PEN GO, NINTENDO OF 2010?! DID YOU TAKE MY STYLUS, SCOTT?!
Oh man, I had this exact model of the 3DS XL (mine was an EU model, however), and Jesus man, the amount of hours I clocked in on this thing. Some of my best moments in gaming ever came from playing this thing. Insane. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I really appreciate it.
The gun community has too many people talking about their big hands, in relation to micro sub compact grip module sizes. If everyone has big hands…how are they big? Its all relative. Lol.
Hello. I ordered a hacked 3ds XL console from Facebook Marketplace. I am really clueless about things like this, and I am very worried that I am going to be soft-bricked or banned or something like that if I do something wrong like launch an app or something. Will something like that happen? And if something like that happens to people, is there an easy, safe, and not complicated way to remove the hacks? I really don't know anything about this stuff despite many google searches. I am worried because I heard about Nintendo trying to soft-brick hacked/modded 3ds consoles. Thanks!
I personally prefer the regular size 3DS, but I do wish there was a size in between regular and XL. The XL almost feels comically huge. I was also never a big fan of the build quality for the XL. It just felt cheaper.
I grew up with an 3DS XL. I remember to this day, my first ever game i played was pokémon Y, and i was five. I had every pokémon game because my brother was a massive fan, and he made me into another massive fan too lol. I also has NSMB2 and i loved that game. Eventually we had to sell it together with our wii u to be able to afford a switch, but pretty much my whole childhood (5-10) was playing on that 3DS. Good times...
The 3DS XL is great. But the NEW 3DS XL is a god tier system. Probably the best handheld Nintendo ever made, especially after you mod it (which is pathetically easy). The 3DS game library is great and you also have DS backwards compatibility, and the extra processing power compared to the original 3DS makes the New 3DS XL a great emulator for everything pre-N64, and GBA games too. I only have 3 gripes with it: original DS games look kinda blurry, the battery life isnt amazing, and the glossy plastic is really easy to scratch.
The 3DS XL is really great! I get that some people say it feels cheap, but I never cared about it, I just really love the games on it, I got mine in 2014 (Quite fun because just like two months after I got mine the New 3DS XL was announced 😃) But I have enjoyed it A LOT through these past 10 years and I love it to this day, I got a blue one! And I agree, the photos and videos don't do the colors justice, they have like this sparkly thing going on, it looks very nice! Would I have preferred to have the New 3DS XL? Sure, it has a better processor and more steady 3D effect, but do I regret going for my 3DS XL? No, not at all. I ADORE that thing.
Anyone else remembers the "Rocks inside the box" thing that happened? If not, basically someone bought one of these and when they opened it, they just found rocks...
The 3DS XL is the only upgrade I skipped, if only because it was an exercise in cost cutting. Sure, the top screen was a legit improvement, but Nintendo cheaped out on the materials, build quality, speakers, and other nice aspects of the 3DS’s design (anti fingerprint coating, metal telescoping stylus, edge-to-edge display cover). In Europe they stopped bundling it with a dock and AC adapter too. Wasn’t until the New 3DS where it felt like they delivered a legit upgrade in every way!
I dropped my Black DS XL the week/I think day I got by dropping it in the drive way and not noticing. Ended up getting a blue one as a replacement from Nintendo, it was blue. I’ve got no clue why that was. I never got over that. Idk why, really liked the black, blue just looked cheap, but I was still great full to even get one. Cause where at the time it cost $250

Unless you had the ambassador games that's not really a big mistake tbh

u can replace the circle pad, it's not terribly hard
Circle pad replacements are super easy and cost like 4 bucks.
Just bought the XL at 31 years old and not looking back now 😂
10:46 "Killing a bug underneath a tissue" is the perfect descriptor for these
What's funny is that despite each new 3DS iteration becoming physically larger, the boxes got smaller.

@@Kimuna161 I mean I don’t think it was the drop that did it, but the bag must’ve slammed the top screen backwards and snapped the hinge

Taking out the original 3DS's stylus is like reaching behind the TV stand to get to the VHS player to unplug cables and plug them back in.

That's why we call him Big Hand Scott
Of course! Just like how we, his fans, call ourselves the Small Hands!
I didn’t realize the original 3DS was the last box branding with the original DS family logo on the sides
They honestly should've waited for the "New" 3DS to release the XL model. That way people would've been less confused.
Scott do you have big hands? 😮
Did games even support the circle pad pro? 😭
Bought the 3DS XL from a buddy in college for $70. Literally just got it for Smash. Worth every penny.

if you think a normal sized DS is perfectly fine sized then youre the one with the small hands, woz. its made for literal children.
f's in the chat for the small handed people of this world; they would've loved a 3DS XS
My hands are tiny and 12 year old me was still too big for the OG 3DS
I needed an XS Wii U gamepad. I could not hold that yet 😂
@ross3695_basedhax you would've loved that IGN project cafe mockup
I somehwat regret getting the XL at launch, because some games definitely did not help from the increased screen size, but not pixel count.
Yeah that really bugged me
It was so distracting having realistic grass and water in New Leaf with N64 resolution

I have always loved this thing, my one and only 3ds, fits nice into them hands
I personally prefer the regular size 3DS, but I do wish there was a size in between regular and XL. The XL almost feels comically huge. I was also never a big fan of the build quality for the XL. It just felt cheaper.
Anyone else think the original 3DS design from 2011 is the coolest? I do 🙋🏻♂️
I grew up with an 3DS XL. I remember to this day, my first ever game i played was pokémon Y, and i was five. I had every pokémon game because my brother was a massive fan, and he made me into another massive fan too lol. I also has NSMB2 and i loved that game. Eventually we had to sell it together with our wii u to be able to afford a switch, but pretty much my whole childhood (5-10) was playing on that 3DS. Good times...
3DSXL was way more comfortable on my hands. And my hands aren't even that big tbh, I just find the original 3DS not as comfy lmaoo
The 3DS XL is great. But the NEW 3DS XL is a god tier system. Probably the best handheld Nintendo ever made, especially after you mod it (which is pathetically easy). The 3DS game library is great and you also have DS backwards compatibility, and the extra processing power compared to the original 3DS makes the New 3DS XL a great emulator for everything pre-N64, and GBA games too.
I only have 3 gripes with it: original DS games look kinda blurry, the battery life isnt amazing, and the glossy plastic is really easy to scratch.
The 3DS XL is really great! I get that some people say it feels cheap, but I never cared about it, I just really love the games on it, I got mine in 2014 (Quite fun because just like two months after I got mine the New 3DS XL was announced 😃)
But I have enjoyed it A LOT through these past 10 years and I love it to this day, I got a blue one! And I agree, the photos and videos don't do the colors justice, they have like this sparkly thing going on, it looks very nice!
Would I have preferred to have the New 3DS XL? Sure, it has a better processor and more steady 3D effect, but do I regret going for my 3DS XL? No, not at all. I ADORE that thing.

Always had the 3DS XL in my pocket in the back half of high school. I don't know how it fit into my jeans back then.
Anyone else remembers the "Rocks inside the box" thing that happened?
If not, basically someone bought one of these and when they opened it, they just found rocks...
his hands are just too big😔
The 3DS XL is the only upgrade I skipped, if only because it was an exercise in cost cutting. Sure, the top screen was a legit improvement, but Nintendo cheaped out on the materials, build quality, speakers, and other nice aspects of the 3DS’s design (anti fingerprint coating, metal telescoping stylus, edge-to-edge display cover). In Europe they stopped bundling it with a dock and AC adapter too. Wasn’t until the New 3DS where it felt like they delivered a legit upgrade in every way!

Lol coincidentally I just turned on my red 3DS XL for the first time in years to play DKC Returns. Good timing.
I dropped my Black DS XL the week/I think day I got by dropping it in the drive way and not noticing.
Ended up getting a blue one as a replacement from Nintendo, it was blue.
I’ve got no clue why that was. I never got over that. Idk why, really liked the black, blue just looked cheap, but I was still great full to even get one.
Cause where at the time it cost $250
The first 3ds was my reintroduction into gaming. It was amazing.
