HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- The Nintendo 3DS is Nintendo's last dedicated handheld and with the shutdown of the eShop in April of 2023 a lot of people assumed that the physical game prices would continue to increase over time.
But what happened was completely different. Some games dropped 20 percent or more and only a handful of games increased in value. Why? Let's take a look

What do you think about 3ds prices? Are you surprised?
Super surprised that 3DS hadn’t taken off…. But then again it already had a massive bump even before the eshop closed.
I’d be interested in seeing you do a video about the entire market, touching on highlights from several libraries. I feel like the entire market is cooling, stores are paying less for trade ins, and inventory seems to be plentiful and slow-moving it would be interesting to try to quantify this with statistics
yeah that's something that I have been working on. Trying to figure out how to properly convey the data in an interesting way.
Been waiting for this one!
Nice one Nick!
Great video!!!
The prices were so high within the month of shutdown because people were panic buying 😂 i remember fire emblem fates special edition being sold for almost 1k.
if someone sold off during that time they made bank
and with their spotpass features like bonus content that require internet connection will be unplugged making FE games on the 3ds to increase even further
It really sucks that online modes is getting shutdown so soon, especially for the 3DS. It has way more online games than the Wii U & it's still easy to find people playing online in a lot of games.
I’m not surprised with the prices, long term 3DS will definitely appreciate. Love this series dude, what system are you going to do next?
I think I'll make an Xbox 360 video.
Your month chart for the black 3DS XL just says “month month month month” lol not a big deal you can tell what months they are supposed to be but it did make me laugh 😂
Well that's a whoops. I was wondering why after effects threw an error and now I know why. Ah well it just shows I'm human lol
@@SuperNicktendolol totally! I was reading the chart a few times and it took a good 30 seconds to even click in my head what was wrong my brain filled in the information automatically LOL
I am watching the market and I feel that there is a cooling off point. I am seeing a divide on ebay between sellers some sell the game for a high price (probably cause they bought it for a high price/ some selling the same game for normal amounts) With what you showed us in this video is that there is something going on where the games are going down but the systems are still some what high, overall you did an amazing job on this video and I think it would be great to see where the prices go at this point.
thanks for the great info. Look forward to more ps3 or ps2 videos even. Favorite content!
might make a PS2 before the end of the year. Going to Xbox 360 next.
@@SuperNicktendo Sweet, looking forward to it ! 😄
My favorite game of all time is 3D Land. The diorama like levels were so charming and wonderful.
I think Cubic Ninja increased in price because for a short time non *New 3DS consoles could only be modded through hardware modification, due to an update Nintendo released in spring. I think a work around has now been found though. Perhaps people were looking for a way to use Cubic Ninja again hack non *New 3DS consoles.
The one game I am genuinely surprised at was superstar saga. I thought it was going to end up in the range of Dragon Quest in pricing. I already have the game but its good I was wrong or those that have been waiting to get a copy
Makes me glad that such a good handful of games have dropped. Gives me hope to continue my 3ds collecting
On ebay, I cant find a new 3ds xl(factory sealed) that is below 400 euros and on amazon , they go for like 250-300 euros BUT they are second hand.. Scalpers everwhere .
The new MGS collections are inferior to the PS3 version, I believe Snake Eater 3D will go back up when people start to realize this.
Might be an unpopular opinion but my favorite 3DS game is Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. Thanks for the video.
That's a good one!
I think the hardware will go up faster than the software. So many people are just pirating the games they want.
Yea but emulating has drawbacks too like added input delay
@@WinstonWolfe21does the homebrew method add lag? It's so easy to hack your 3DS so that's usually what people are doing
That's a good point
second this, people just hombrew the 3ds and pirate all the games, it doesnt add lag as they are running natively, even GBA games run natively.
@SuperNicktendo I own an O3DS, it does not (tho just don't use any SD cards larger than 128 GB to ensure you won't have added lag and compatability issues... and this applies to stock systems too, old or new)
So I could have done the stock market and sell all my 3DS games when they were expansive and re purchase them when they are cheap.
Etrian Odyssey V, but mostly I have old DS games that I still play. My 2 favorites of those are Picross and Izuna II.
My fave 3ds game has to be Rhythm Thief - I was sold on the idea of Prof. Layton as a rhythm game!
Economy is in the toilet, so not surprised prices haven’t jumped. Especially since we had abnormal growth around the beginning of COVID.
Yeah I think we're finally seeing a correction but I have to see more systems to be sure
Castlevania games are my favorites on the 3DS. I can’t pick one I love them all equally
My all time fav 3DS game is Mario Kart 7. It's not everyone's fav but I enjoyed it a lot and still play it.
still great on the go!
I really need to get that fire emblem game
treat yourself!
If only he knew how much yk3 would start going for just a few months in the future
FE Fates has to be my favorite 3DS game! What a story!
I hear good things about it!
@@SuperNicktendo you gotta try it (or all 3 stories if you have a bit of time)
Buyers market.
I purchased a new 3ds on eBay- the previous owner advertised it with the Pokémon games and Pokémon bank and transporter- how I can transfer all to my Nintendo account?
i would look on nintendo's site to see if there's a way to transfer that stuff. I'm not sure if it's possible or not.
Yes! A retronomics video. My favorite 3ds game is Phantom Hour Glass. I played that game for hours.
still haven't finished that one.
I don't own it, but my favorite 3DS game has to be Tekken 3D. Borrowed the game a while back and was shocked playing the movie.. On a 3DS.
For one that I own, it has to be Ocarina of Time.
great choices!
Wow I am here urrrrrrrrrleeeeeeeeee 🧋
🎉 Preciate it!
MH4U is the best and it's always pretty cheap.
Honestly never played a monster hunter game. Maybe I should give it a go
