The Nintendo 3DS is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo. The console was announced in March 2010 and unveiled at E3 2010 as the successor to the Nintendo DS. The system features backward compatibility with Nintendo DS video games.

The 3DS is basically the peak of Nintendo Handhelds.
You have a really solid own library + the whole DS and DSi library in one package.
And if you mod it you can get all the games for free, even emulators or virtual consoles.
hooray piracy!
Honestly, I can’t wait for the Switch to be to a point where it has a case similar to that of the 3DS with modding allowing for free games and emulators.
@@cloudy_xDD Yup that would be awesome, I have a switch lite so there is no way to get CFW on it. Just enjoying 3ds games now through hshop, never had a 3ds/ds before, so i'm finding a lot of nice games in there
solid library? I'm strategy games fan and on DS I have Lego Battles, Civilisation Revolution, 2 Age of Empires games, 2 Anno games, Ys Strategy, The Settlers, and on 3DS there is... virtually nothing.... forget about actual Elders' Scrolls clones like Fighting Fantasy that was also only on DS. And... 3DS just doesn't realy play DS games well...
@@kacperzimowski4626 Other than the top screen size difference, it should play ds games well no? Since it has the ds processor inside too. Atleast I didnt notice any issue so far
Nintendo shut down home brewing because otherwise they cant keep selling you the same games over and over again.
Bingo. I cringe whenever I see people say stuff like “NSO isn’t worth the $20 annually. I have to pay to play online? It’s free on PC! Those free retro games that comes with it? Baby, I have all those games on my modded 3DS!” 😅
@@thelastdragon5551same tbh
@@thelastdragon5551 It's not our fault that Microsoft standardized the online payment in addition to the fact that I don't think someone pays for that service only for retro games
@@thelastdragon5551why
@@Dreaming-Void What was your question?
Because it is simply the better handheld compared to the switch. Its games are optimized for handheld gameplay, and the 2-screen design is amazing
The Switch is ALOT smoother regarding boot up and load times tho
@@MLPRainbowFantasy You are right, but it is a minor advantage compared to the ability of using custom Themes and Background music on New 3DS XL (I am using Hollow Knight one)
Try comparing the handheld gameplay of Luigi Mansion 2/ Luigi Mansion 3 or Mario 3D Land vs Mario 3D World and tell me which is the better experience with better level design.
Yes 3ds is better
Seems obvious to me. Nintendo doesn't want you on a 3ds. They want you to buy a switch.
Had mine for nearly 11 years, bought a new one XL one earlier this year and man oh man. The 3ds is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
What games are you playing I just can't find anything to play
@@pokedude3221 a multitude i put some gba fe games on it and currently smt 4 and a few others
@@spooky5496how do you mod it
Me and my older brother saved money for a 2DS XL.
And after we modded it, oh boy.
3DS has really good games, you have Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil, Smash Bros, Tomadachi Life, Street Fighter, Nintendogs, and the list goes on.
150$ well spent.
My brother gave me his old New 2DS XL. :) I'm glad you can enjoy yours with your brother.
Well sadly the 3ds only has one 3ds kingdom hearts game for it witch dream drop distance
I just got my New 2DS XL! Loving it so far, been wanting an original 3DS since 2011 Absolutely love it.
Awesome, love to hear it!
Welcome to the club!
I just got my Black & Lime Green New 2DS XL as well! I did not use my OG 3DS for several years and wanted to replay all the Pokémon and Nintendo exclusives. However my hands did not fit the OG 3DS anymore.
The New 2DS XL is so much more comfortable and it’s faster too. Love it.
also had mine for 2 months and new 2ds xl
nice, i got one aswell. i got the creeper edition. its really cool imo.
I have an original 3DS, a 2DS and a DSiXL all modded with 32gb cards loaded with games and I'm still in love with the aystem. I know having a 2ds and a 3ds is kinda redundant but people don't seem to carry these anymore and I'm still trying to complete streetpass pictures so having 2 they streetpass each other like 3 times a day.
Niceeee! If you can have multiple, why not!
@@GamersChoiceRUclipsI mainly have both my consoles for local trade for pokemon

Your right bro honestly I always ignored modding but now here I am
1:41 My best guess is that Nintendo wants to block people from enjoying these old 3DS games likely because it takes attention away from newer systems, newer content, like the content currently being sold on Switch. Having content freely available on an older platform gives people an alternative to where they can play and experience games and I suppose that proposes a problem from their strict business perspective.
Agreed. Therefore they should be creating more original content instead of rehashing everything.
Exactly
And of course the best way to stop people from getting content for free is by closing down the way for people to give you money
@@alexferrucci5478You’re fooling yourself if you think Nintendo don’t have tons of new original titles on the Switch. You only believed what you believe because they do also give you ports on the system too. Why not say the more the merrier?
Sold my 3DS a couple of years ago after not having used it for several months at the time, I massively regret it now not just because its value has continued to go up but there are so many games i now want to revisit, its just not the same in an emulator, even if you can upscale to make them look really good.
Yea, its not easy to replicate the dual screens.
@@GamersChoiceRUclips I agree 100%. 3DS XL will always be the best way to play 3DS games. Emulation just cant replicate a 3DS. The only real solution is if Citra is able to support a wiiu gamepad for the bottom screen and your monitor/TV as the top screen.
Well you can always buy a og 2ds witch is much cheaper and more sturdy without the hinge.
i love it best because of 3D. The 3D itself is insanely immersive and awesome with zero downsides.
U have the new 3ds or the original 3ds? I heard the 3d tracking is vastly improved on the new 3ds
@@reyfarce5697 it is yes. You can't really move your head with the old one. Definitely recommend the new one :) (if you were looking to get one that is, of course)
The only issue I’ve had with the 3D is eye strain but other than that it’s pretty good.
The 3DS is still my trusty handheld. As someone with chronic pain issues in the hands, the Switch is not a handheld for me.
Glad the 3DS is perfect for you, it’s a great console to enjoy for the long run.
I have a New 3DS XL, a New 2DS XL, and an original 3DS I've owned since 2013. I played it religiously until 2016, then left it by the wayside until earlier this year. I discovered all it could do and got the New 3DS XL.
I saw the way the wind was blowing and I always wanted to get one, but never had as a kid. Only thing I had was the original psp as a kid, as like… the only person lol.
Few years ago decided wanted to get a 3ds but been unable to find one anywhere in my country, even used, that was like the latest model.
Wasn’t until this Christmas my boyfriend went to Japan and I had him pick one up for me from there cuz twas really the only place you could still buy them. I got that as a Christmas present this year and have been using it almost daily last 6 months since.
I love this thing. Been playing bit of everything honestly. Main games have been, Stella Glow, MH4U, MH Stories, Mario Kart 7, New Super Mario Bros 2, Mario Golf World Tour, and also my first ever pokemon game, Pokemon Ultra Moon. But also just tested aaaalll the games.
Lately I’ve been getting into Yo-Kai Watch and Inuzuma Eleven, and their both mindblowingly good games tiz insane. If I played these as a kid would probably be my favorite game lol
Love to hear it!
Yo kai watch is sooo underrated and it's so good!!!
Be thankful! If you're into Monster Hunter you either have a circle pad pro or probably long nails.
When I tried the ds as a kid, before having guitar nails, I absolutely despised using the stylus, now I have over 80h on MH4U alone!
I was already playing my 3DS every now and then, but only recently modded my N3DSXL, and had to even replace my circle pad. Now I enjoy it just about as much as I did when I originally bought the system.
Now I REALLY need to finish Dragon Quest VIII, among other games I never got to.
keep up the great videos bro!
Thanks!
@Gamers Choice what u play on vita bro??
My first and only handheld ever was an o3Ds. I got my 3Ds actually pretty late, I got it in 2019. After 2020, I lost interest and stopped playing it for an entire year. Then, late 2022, I found it again, and actually found it pretty fun. Early 2023, I got a new SD card and everything and also got into the modding community. Now I spend hours playing it with friends/siblings. I took it to school and got a StreetPass because this guy in my class had a 2Ds. Can't believe this thing is getting popular again! :D
Love to hear it!
I love the 3DS, its so awesome, I love it :) Awesome video bro, glad you're keeping the 3DS community together :) btw whats your favorite 3DS console
Thanks! And probably the NES special edition
My sister had an original 2DS but the battery expanded, so she bought a new one.
A new console.
So I ordered a new battery, repaired it, and modded it. Now it has a lot of games and I really love it.
and that's how you should live
@@dziodziopv This is totally unrelated to this topic but i got the same luck for my new phone (Somebody just gave me a Poco X3 Pro, for free, like that)
Wow,sounds like your sister wasted money but you got a great 2ds
Great Video 😎
😏🤝
I absolute love my 3DS, the switch realease in 2017 did not slow down how much I play with my 3DS
I never had a DS but the games surprisingly play very well on the Wii U game pad . GBA games too. Great video!
Funny you say that as I’ve been getting back into playing mine lately. I love the 3ds.
I built a GBA IPS. Love the games from the original GB and GBC and GBA. Maybe I'll get a 3Ds too
I miss my old wii disc player. But on the bright side recently my dad gave me my little sis old 3DS and I’m enjoying every bit of it
Nice video! Just FYI, Anemone is like "Sea Anemone" (ah-neh-moh-nee)
Noted 🤝
You did good son. Spread the word.
I just restarted my 3ds collection. Picked up a Galaxy 3ds and buying up all and ever 3ds game I find In pawn shops, flea markets and etc. all these games I wish to save just to keep alive and fresh
I have a New 3DS XL, Dsi, another dsi, DSi XL with cfw and r4 cards I love all of them especially the new 3ds xl ❤️
👑
Nintendo will keep updating and the modders will keep jailbreaking every firmware Nintendo comes out with. So Nintendo can keep wasting their time
Facts.
this morning before looking more into modding my 3ds i made the dumb decision to update it without looking into it. i already bought stuff to mod it. (a sd card, adapter, and sd card to usb.) now i need to buy mario kart 7, mod my sister's non-updated 3ds, and use that to mod mine. fun.
Never had a 3ds before but now it's scratches so many inches.
Definitely worth it to get one today.
i just can dream nintendo bring back street pass to switch, or smartphone as companion apps
The DS is my favorite hand held gaming console. The 3DS is just amazing. I remember all the hype when it was released and then when the Switch was released, all of a sudden the 3DS was forgotten. The GBA, DS & 3DS are the best, suck it Switch.
Looking at 3DS because I want to play OoT again, and I want to finish MM (never did as a kid; just borrowed it for a short while from a friend) and Nintendo are taking their sweet ass time just porting all of the games to Switch. Make a Zelda colletion like the Mario one except... Not bad. Do that and I'll pay for it. Oh and force Cave to port their 360 collection too while at it.
Not in the market rn, I have an RG351P that I REALLY enjoy and I'm busy buying Switch games, but since that handheld doesn't emulate DS all that well...
i can’t wait to finally get my hands on a 3ds im sad i missed out on it though when it was still available in stores ☹️☹️
Better late than never! You have a lot to look forward to
i have a red 3ds modded if you wanna trade do you have a playstation 4 or xbox?
@@DFSJoAI yeah i have a old white xbox 1 x that i haven’t played on in some years but the controller is broken
hey buddy, u missed nothing!!! You can still mod your 3ds and play all games for free and even online!!!
Wish you the best experience ❤❤
@@callmeyuki9488can u still do that?
Playing MHXX online today and the low rank hub is still very active (10+ rooms around early night)
Nintendo just cares about money not caring about their customers at all. 3ds is the best Nintendo console imo
Agreed
Fr
Are you talking about the 3DS eShop closing?
I just took my modded 3ds on a flight. Been playing Minish Cap.
Nice!!
Bro said "ah-mo-nay" 💀💀💀
i wanted to find like a beat up 2ds xl to shell swap with a pink shell (gameboy enjoyer) but i just find out they dont make those and it ruined my day
wow! I just walked into this, have no idea where to start? So I guess, what should I do first? Which 3DS do I get? Super new newbie lol
new 3ds XL
For value I would get the 2ds. For the best experience I would get a new 3ds xl.
i have an original 3ds, unfortunately emulating gameboy advance games makes the games really laggy, only way to go around that is to get gba cartridge thing that lets you put in an sd card so you can run them natively, i still have all of the 3ds and regular ds games tho so i cant complain hahaha not to mention i never had a 3ds, i stopped at the ds lite so ALL of these games for the 3ds are brand new to me so thats a HUGE plus
I have a galaxy edition New 3DS XL that I picked up last year for $150. I modded it and it is my favorite handheld system. I also have a Switch that we got as a gift, and I really like the Switch, but I hardly play it compared to my 3DS. I really enjoy the 3D effect, it is a more comfortable handheld to me, and I like that I actually have the retro games rather than I'm renting them.
Cool video. It is off topic, but is there any update about the 11.17.50-E version
Yes, methods are out already to by pass it. I will not be making a video on it, but it is definitely out there!
I found it, and I swear to God if it bricks my console i will sell my livers
@@cursedpotato64 what's the method?
anemone: uh-NEH-muh-nee
I moded my 3ds in the molding peak it works great
I have a switch Oled and a 3ds xl and I haven’t used my switch in 2-3 months. I use and bring my 3ds mostly every where
Love to hear it!
Having trouble pronouncing Anemone brought me right back to Finding Nemo lmao
I just bought one for 109 on eBay with 3 games in perfect condition 😊
Hello, please, could you help me?
I don't understand how Streetpass work.
Do I have to have the Streetpass software opened, or like going to the home menu but not closing it? Or can I close it?
Also, do I have to be connected to a WIFI network or WIFI hot-spot?
Or do I only have to have the WIFI switched on, but I don't have to have it actually connect to a WIFI?
Or do I have to switch off the WIFI?
Please, answer!
Can you do a video where you show all your 3ds games?
Hmmmm, Modded 3DS Tour?
@@GamersChoiceRUclipsYeeee
You can absolutely play SNES on an old 3DS, all you need is Snes9x3DS, most games play at full speed, the only ones that don't are ones which use the SuperFX or SA1 chips in the cartridge, which for the most part are no big loss...
On top of that, you can also play TurboGrafx + Turbo CD, Mega Drive + Mega CD, and a whole bunch more stuff, not to mention emulate NES, GB and GBC games that weren't on the Virtual Console
I have just purchased a 3ds as I see this video 💀
I called 10 GameStops looking for a changer and no luck smh.
I have two 3DSs I enjoy very much!!! 💗
My dad got the 3ds xl at 2017
Because they don’t want you to mod it even though you can’t get the game until they release a new version of that game or port them to the new game console
Well I doubt any of the 3ds game will ever get ported to the switch since it not the same as the 3ds at all and only has one screen and playing with one screen is not the same.
@@azurekite3870I doubt it as well but Nintendo doesn’t want you to do it because it it’s their stuff if they don’t want to sell them to you and don’t want you to have it than they can try to prevent you from doing it. Even though they might fail. But technically it is not legal to do so download games without paying for them even though if they aren’t available.
They have to make a 4ds or something
4DS? LOL
I doubt it they love feeding shit into the switch
Lol i bought a moded n3ds xl in mint condition for almost 200 bucks complete with ar cards as well. So far so good and yup i have a deck and oled switch but still enjoying this older games
I love my new 3ds XL more than my switch OLED. I'm planning to sell my Switch after i finished Tears of the kingdom,but I'll keep my 3ds forever.
Don’t do it. Unless you need the money hang on to the Switch. Someday you might regret it. Just look at the people in the comments who regret getting rid of their 3DS. Could easily happen with the Switch someday. 🤷♂️
Listen man ive been seeing your content lots of places, usually shorts… i have a modded new 3dsXL and a modded switch and you are missing out its as easy as getting a year one switch and a 3d printed slider
I appreciate you watching! But I'm still scared to mod a switch lol
@@GamersChoiceRUclipsDo it.
Trying to bring back streetpass groups and events 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have a galaxy 3ds xl, a 2ds xl, original 3ds in blue and a original 3ds in pink from 2013
4:59 amen brother. I invested in the Nintendo Switch with the expectation that it would support my beloved retro games. Unfortunately, they never materialized. Now, they've rolled out a few, but with an annual subscription attached? To make matters worse, the quality of emulation (if that's what we're calling it) on the Switch is subpar. Titles like Ocarina of Time are virtually unplayable, and even Mario 64 tested my patience to the limit. I'm holding onto the hope that using the N64 controller for Switch will improve the experience.
I'd been wanting to buy the new 3ds for a few years now. I'd been eyeing but not wanting to spend the money. finally this year I decided I wanted to play some more games. Then videos started popping up in my feed about the end of the eshop and modding and I figured now or never. the 3DS is the only way I'll ever be able to re-enjoy the DS and 3DS games (because emulating the dual screens just doesn't seem appealing, and it plays all of the older games I love to emulate
first thing I did was download all of Zelda games. Ocarina of Time down, now Oracle of Ages.
Yet I still can’t get any StreetPasses these days 😢
Amazing how popular something is when all the games on it are easily free now
Not to be pedantic, but the hshop or freeshop have been around since Nintendo was still releasing games on the platform. Now RUclipsrs can advertise these apps because it’s “no longer piracy” since the eshop is closed. I personally disagree and think it’s just an excuse to retroactively deflect any sense of wrongdoing. However, my main point is that it isn’t just “now” that people can pirate games.
@@sias.2569 no, but it's just now that 3DS prices are shooting up and making piracy the way cheaper route
@@princessnodak Ehhhhh… I would agree. However, I have a link to a video from Nintendo life from June of last year discussing the rising prices of 3DS games:
m.ruclips.net/video/cozQ5pXQG_s/видео.html
I mean a year isn’t that long, but it’s not “now” I guess.
is it safe to mod a 3ds xl? or can they patch it up? sorry for the dumb question lol it would be mi first modded handheld
The patches do nothing after being modded and there’s always a fix if they do.
The new 3DS xl SNES edition is my daily driver for gaming!
I know why: the texts are a LOT easier to read! I’m an RPG gamer, so this thing is extremely crucial. The texts on the Switch are RIDICULOUSLY small it doesn’t make sense, it actually hurts my eyes, and making me angry.
Is it ok if I can send my 3ds to you because I need help getting games on twilight++ . Plus I don’t have a computer so can you help me please
A friend gave me his n2dsxl because he didnt play with it. It was stored 1 jear in my bookshelf and now i have homebrewchannel and a ton of games on the 128gb sd. 😅
I still play mine to
I got me a Really nice LL New 3DS about 3 or 4 months ago and I absolutely love it!!
So Many Great Games!
So many games to enjoy
How much was it
@@abdularif1086 way too much!!! But it had so many games on it that I wanted.. it came with the SNES Emulator & hundreds of games for it plus the Sega genesis pico drive emulator with hundreds of games on that place right at 100 3DS games with H shop already on it as well as about 50 or 60 of the best game boy advance games, game boy color games and about 50 or 60 DS games..
Plus the fact that it was near mint condition… still doesn’t really justify how much I paid but I didn’t mind $442😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Oh yeah and it came with an official charger and an official 3DS carrying case!!
I have a problem, not about piracy, but the thing is there could be an end to Modding 3DS Set of Family Handheld Systems in 2024. Cause Homebrewing Nintendo 3DS Family Systems, require internet connection. But the thing is, Internet connections will end in April next year.
I want to get one but they’re so expensive. I saw one for $485 on Amazon
Import one from Japan, I just ordered a new 3ds cib for $150 from ninnin game and ended up ordering a second one.
@@phantomzonegaming4161 yeah I ended up getting one from Japan in near mint condition. Payed $175 and it shipped pretty fast.
Man i wish I still had my 3ds once I found it snapped in half on my dresser and never knew who did. It😢 I still don’t have one
Just modded mine today and guess what it was on 11.6
They need to bring eshop back with UPDATED U.I and start releasing 3ds games again.
Hshop. You can get any 3ds game you want.
I JUST FOUND MY OLD 3DS XL IN MY GARAGE. I ONLY PLAYED USED IT FOR POKÉMON ORAS!
Sweettttt!
Is it safe to mod my main 3ds I have a cupple things downloaded that I obviously can’t redownload anymore so I’m afraid of loosing that stuff so I want to download the Hsop so I can play the library of 3ds games and experiance some ones I never got to
I bought a white moded 3ds xl and I love it!!!!
Nice!!
Commenting for the RUclips algorithm
Bro i wish i was alive in 2011, it sucks being a fetus when a super popular and revolutionary console is being bought and sold just outside your reach
You should buy a v1 switch i have access to every game for free, my first Nintendo console since GBA so the jump was pretty cool
my biggest problem with the 3ds is my hands are to big and would start to cramp after 40 minutes then i got a grip, hands never cramped again would recommend
Grips are key, have one on most of my handhelds.
@@GamersChoiceRUclipsThe quality ones for the N3DSXL can be upwards of $80+. Don’t think many will spend that much. The cheap $10 are just crap. The clip that holds the system on will break if you look at it funny.
Yes I still enjoy my 3d DS and my regular DS
my man said amoné💅🏻
I loved playing on Nintendo 3DS but lost the controller. I have a Nintendo Switch now and I am wondering what games you can play on it that are similar to the games you could play on the 3DS? There were some games that I really liked but I have forgotten what they are called. Can someone recommend some games that I can play on my switch that are similar to the 3DS. Pokemon and Super Mario
"Mario Kart 7" for the 3DS is "Mario Kart 8" for Switch
"Super Mario 3d Land" for the 3DS is "Super Mario 3d World" for Switch
"New Super Mario Bros 2" for the 3DS is "new super mario bros U deluxe " for Switch
"Super Smash Bros 3DS" for the 3DS is "Super Smash Bros Ultimate" for Switch
"Super Mario Maker 3DS" for the 3DS is "Super Mario Maker 2" for Switch
Yo we have the same 3ds, the exact model and color haha
You got great taste 😏🤝
It’s pretty ridiculous you can spend hundreds on content purchased through proper means and have a company just end a service and take it all back essentially.
I still have my 3ds.
I’m glad I held onto my O3DS XL for quite years now. I recently modded it and it’s been just as enjoyable as the switch. It’s gotten me into playing some stuff I did play when I was younger too.
Got my 3DS modded
It's an... an-ne-me-ne-mo-nem-ee! (finding nemo)
People showing h shop etc. was a good solution against people who pushed-> you should buy games short before closure
Buddy never heard of a sea anemone. I think nemo pronounces it better lmao
Anemone
''uh-nem-un-ee''
just so you know :P
Lol I'm about to buy 3DS XL and 2DS XL. No wonder there are a lot of people are selling their used Nintendo 3DS, 2DS and Wii as well on the marketplace.
They just announced they’ll be shutting down the online servers early 2024
pick up a 2ds for 50€ in february i wanted it since 2013
