the Nintendo 3DS is here to slay
Don't tempt me because I'm a synapse fire away from turning that into the actual title.
@@nikgrgrio Do it
@@nikgrgrio no way u actually changed it lol
The nintendo 3ds has always slayed
@@pablosolermontanos641 They never changed it.
The 3DS was its own special kind of magic. I stopped playing it from around 2015 - 2021, but once I picked it back up again I remembered just how much I loved it.
Haha jokes on you. I've had anxiety and panic of losing 3ds games since 2015.
Screw the Switch Lite. We need a new DS console!
The same thing happened to me but with my dsi, its the BEST since u can play anywhere cus its so small and It can also emulate from older consoles
There goes a saying
"Did you know it's surprisingly easy to hack your 3ds?"
Modding never looked better.
i mainly prefer the 3ds over the switch because
1) i dont have a switch lol (some friends do so i have had experience with it dw)
2) 3ds is smaller so it can always fit in my pocket
3) its also small enough for me to play on it during class with nobody noticing
4) its jailbreaking process is relatively easy when the switches jailbreaking process just looks too scary and risky for me to invest in a switch if i were to jailbreak it. idiot me 3 years ago threw all my 3ds games away because i didnt want them anymore so i can just pirate them instead of having to spend hundreds of pounds to get them back which i just dont have.
I love how all of us probably watched the same sequence of videos talking about not missing some games of the eshop and ended up here, with a homebrewed 3ds and a very nostalgic feeling.
The rise of homebrewed 3DSs has only just begun haha
@@nikgrgrio I modded mine pretty much as soon as I heard about it, did it on the last day before browserhax got patched iirc. We need more homebrewed 3DSs, I agree lol
Homebrewed Majora's Mask 3DS to be exact, sir. 😂
I love having a modded 3DS. My primary modded 3DS got water damaged. Got super lucky and found a brand new n3dsxl at a retro shop for like $130. Bought it immediately and modded it that week.
@@aaronarmeli1655 now that is what i call an amazing deal
Whats really depressing is getting a 3ds now and not being able to use street pass because it genuinely is dead. Bring back the 3ds. For those of you with a 3ds, take them with you everywhere please, lets revive this thing.
I carry mine with me almost daily! Malls seem to be the best place to get hits. And retro game stores, as the employees often have them.
I got my 3DS in 2020. Getting it so early makes me so sad because i never got to experience the peak of the 3DS. streetpass, Miiverse, nintendo zone, online play etc. it really sucks because yesterday i bought a 35 dollar eshop card and was going to get a game and a theme. Yet to find they dont take eshop cards OR credit card funds. So i have to resort to physical copies of the game, which said, is too expensive. I love Zelda, Animal crossing, Nintendogs etc on the 3DS. I wish nintendo never discontinued it because i probably would’ve had so much more fun with it.
@@evalol10 you can add eshop funds through the my nintendo website!
@@employee4272 Yeah. i realized that a few hrs ago but i had already spent the funds on my switch!! :((
@@evalol10 man :(
Every time I return to the DS consoles, I’m always amazed at their innovation, and how damn good they are. And the accessibility to just shut it and go. AMAZING.
Really well crafted story here, Nicholas. This was a great video.
Being able to shut it and go is life-ruining and it makes me nostalgic for that Iwata Era but of course we needed that world-changing BOTW era. I just miss my menu music. Dual Screens forever 🤟
Thank you for taking the time to watch, Kurt!
I scrolled down to comment "This is such a well-produced video, Nicholas! It kind of reminds me of videos by one of my favorite creators, Kurt Indovina.". Huh...
I hate that no games have a rest feature. I have to get to a save point or I'm screwed.
Truueeee every few years i play it and it feels "new" haha insane
Love seeing your praise here Kurt, have you considered making videos on 3DS content? Homebrew, hacks, and restoration projects have really bloomed on the console in the past year
I used to think that the 3DS was completely obsolete with the coming of the Switch, and I was considering selling mine (my 3DS is a special edition NES so I thought I could make a few bucks), but recently my friend bought one and told me I should buy it so I can ACNL with him, little did he know that I loved that game when I was younger. Somewhat inspired, I grabbed my old, scratched up 3DS and wasted five straight hours just playing New Leaf (not to mention all the other games, like Samus Returns, Ever Oasis, Happy Home Designer, a ton of Pokemon, etc.). And now, I bring the thing with me everywhere, which a lot of my friends have made jokes about. The thing was my childhood, and I hope it’ll someday be apart of my adulthood. Maybe even my kid’s childhoods.
I relate to your story spiritually, I eventually homebrewed my 3DS after losing/selling all my physical copies and my switch games mostly being digital!
Now we have the juice!
I'll never get bored of my 3ds, nor my DS games. It's just such a big era to me and pretty much took over almost my entire life so far. And when i first homebrewed/modded it, i just felt like that was the right thing to do since i knew that despite what Nintendo will do, the fans won't stop making this console keep it alive for the longest time as they can. And i'm in joy just knowing this.
I could never get into any of the Nintendo portables. I had every one from the original game boy to the 3DS and I just never had fun with them, there were never any games I enjoyed that much on them. Switch is the first one I actually like the games for.
@@jaredf6205 Bet youre fun at parties.
@@creatingvideostobreakmyspe6049 Yeah, I bring my switch
@@jaredf6205 ha, goteeeem
found you randomly on my home page; nice video!
Lamarr, it’s an honor to have you here! Thank you so much 🙂
From the dual screen gaming experience to the actual 3D, this system continues to blow my mind and find its way back into my hands. The catalog has so much diversity and charm its been a lot of fun going through some of these as of late. Makes you wonder what happened to all the charm and uniqueness (Mii maker, Streetpass, Themes, Music, etc) and how its just absent on the switch.
Not sure we'll ever have two screen or Stereoscopic gaming again, sad. Anyways, great video brother, earned a new subscriber, always looking forward to quality 3ds content, keep it coming!
Incredibly happy to have you here, Mike! You're certainly right about the distinct personality the dual screen and motion control era of Nintendo had, I feel the same way and miss the menu music :/ Yeah, the BOTW, Mario Odyssey, and Switch era of nintendo was a vital shift for them and even us, but I miss that Iwata soul in all those games and consoles.
Looking forward to making more content, thanks for taking the time to watch!
I think the closing of the E-shop, made homebrewing way more relevant.
You’re definitely right- I’m on a homebrewing kick with all these eshop closures sending us into a panic, next has gotta be my Wii U
@Nicholas Gregorio good thing about it is that when it comes to the Wii U/3DS there actually exists something called Pretendo which is like a recreation of Nintendo's servers and it allowed for certain games like Super Mario Maker as well as other Online games to work again
Nintendo's homebrewing community is still alive and kicking let's be all real here.
@@Windermed Oh that's awesome!
Man, if I had just been a few years older with more disposable income I would have gone all in on the New 3DS faceplates lol. Kicking myself for not getting one as I kinda find the XL to be uncomfortable after a while. Definitely feeling the 3DS love now that a some years have passed since moving on to the Switch. Nice video 👍🏼
Funny enough sjb626, I often think about getting a new XL because my hands cramp on the 3DS XS 😅 The 3DS love is in the air this year and I'm here for it. Thanks for taking the time to watch :)
I feel similar, as I get a small cramp in my right thumb when playing for extended periods. Usually shifting my grip helps. I play on a mint dual IPS “new” 3DS (the Pokémon one) and really appreciate the pixel density and quality. I have 2 boxed XL’s that I’ve contemplated using to avoid the cramp, but I think I would find the size and screen quality difference to have its own faults.
If you ever decide to get one again, I'd recommend the New 2DS XL, if you don't care about the 3D function. It's significantly cheaper, and it's got a really nice and slick design to match the Switch :)
Just found my old first model 3ds! Don’t even know when I got it 😂
I feel that way lol. Just if I woulda been 20 not 14
I also recently homebrewed my 3ds because of this, I didn’t want to lose most of my digital games. Once I finished homebrewing I pirated lots of games, then I did the this that makes the 3ds eshop not close. Although I could download them again, by pirating, I don’t know if it would erase my data. Also, You are underrated and need more subscribers! At first a thought you had thousands of subs but only 100+? Keep on doing your videos! Never give up! You can do it!
Edit: THANKS I NEVER KNEW THIS WOULD GET THIS MUCH LIKES!!!
Futruetech! I appreciate you being here and for taking the time to watch and comment. I’m incredibly grateful for the 100+ subscribers and don’t worry- I haven’t stopped making videos since I started so stay tuned for some more stuff ;)
Here’s to 3DS homebrewing 🤟
Honestly Pirating is moral because Nintendo is just messing up all the time and heck they don't even earn money anymore
Let me explain.
Save data is linked to whatever the game is stored on.
So if I have a game on a game card, then the save is stored on the card.
If the game is on an SD card, it'll be on the SD.
If the game is on internal storage, the save will be on internal storage.
*What I'm saying is: Save data is deleted upon deleting the game.*
With that said, extra data is always going to be stored on the SD card.
DLC and updates are not associated with any save data, but if you _delete the update to a game, but not the game itself,_ then your save data will be for a newer version of a game then what you currently have; as such, the game may consider it corrupted and delete the save.
@@pacomatic9833 do all digitally installed games delete when the eshop closes if your ds isn’t homebrewed?
@@k8sloane Nope, you still will be able to play them and enjoy them. But if you delete them, you will still be able to redownload them, even after march 29th. So yeah the eshop isn't really fully closed.
The end of an era type scenarios always make me feel like a loved one has died. Something that brought us so much joy has finally reached its end
The 3ds will always be one of, if not my favorite console of all time. My first one was the link between worlds special edition and the memories I had playing that game and OOT3D will always be my favorite gaming experiences of all time. Now I have the snes new 3ds version and I still play it all the time. Since I hacked it I can continue to download and play any title I want and I'll never forget about this trusty little guy. Truly a perfect system
Just began to feel the pressure of the eShop closing and my chance to revisit this piece of my childhood recently. I got a Steam Deck a while back and after emulating some GBA on it, I realized how good it felt to play games on hardware close in feel to the original layout (Obviously the SD has a lot going on, but a D-pad and a few buttons on either side of a rectangular screen just felt natural). There's nothing out there today like the NDS/3DS line. I just picked up a new 3DS to ensure I can go back and experience all those great games the way they're meant to be played again.
100% with you on feeling that pressure from the eShop's closure and you're right- nothing out there is really portable like the NDS/3DS family and is geared more towards bringing AAA gaming with you for 2-3 hours of charge. That's not me knocking the switch or deck of course, but I just remembered how insane the charges on DS lites were
Anyway, I'm happy to hear you were able to secure some GBA memories on your deck and were able to secure a new 3DS. Thanks for being here, Ezlo
@@samanthajenkins2036 Eshop is closing in March
Its still possible to homebrew your system, so you can play whatever you want. Idk if its ethical to do but for me its a comforting thought that those eshop exclusives that i didnt buy wont be lost forever, they are only a download away😅
It's a shame Citra for Android is no longer in active development, since foldable devices like a Fold 4 + telescopic controller seem to be the perfect alternative to DS-style consoles, with the added benefit of older 4:3 games being much larger since it's just a single screen.
@@nikgrgrio Lucky we will always have internet ROMs containing every 3DS game ever released and the capability of playing them all conveniently thanks to dedicated individuals who share their work with the world.
I hope this doesnt sound weird but this was a really sweet and sincere video. Im big into emulation and gaming handhelds but a lot of my most favorite games were on the 3DS so emulating them on hardware other than the original 3ds console just doesnt feel the same. You've definitely talked me into getting a 'New" 3DS just to house all my old favorite DS and 3DS games.
Nah fr tho. I was the same way about wanting to keep my system pure as can be, but like you I also decided to homebrew mine as well as my friends lol. It’s crazy because the DS really was a big part of our childhood and it’s sad to see it go which it doesn’t deserve!
Anyways well done Nicholas, this video truly meant something as someone who only grew up playing handhelds.
when nintendo disables all the options, piracy will OBVIOUSLY get involved
Please never forget the 3DS, it is such a beautiful handheld that nails everything we've been chipping away at over the years. Incredible console that still holds up with a strong library
Man’s cinematography , storytelling and thumbnail design improve drastically compared to the previous video , any secrets young man I’m eager to learn
Amazing and high-quality video! I also recently started falling in love with my old 3DS again and then I upgraded and bought myself a JP New 3DS and modded it! Modding it unlocked soooo much and I'm just motivated now more than ever to play my old games and the games I missed out on like Ocarina of Time and Metroid Samus Returns. Taking it everywhere now has made me realize how the 3DS was such a big part of my gaming years.
Also, bro, you need more subs I thought you were a big channel!
Haha I'm happy to have you here, Sebastian! I've had a similar itch to get a JP New 3DS XL but I also just got a JP DSi and homebrewed it so maybe I should take it easy 😅 So glad you finally got to try out OoT 3D and Samus Returns and I think a lot of us can relate to the 3DS being a very personal console for us and that's incredibly special
I would like to note the following. While the 3ds official servers will be shutting down eventually in a few years (beyond eshop closure) a fan project called pretendo has sprung up! While it is currently patreon exclusive, it is eventually planned to become free to the public. The services has even found was to preserve features like splatfests in the original splatoon on wii-U! I am confident, as both a retro enthusiast, and a tech nerd, that the 3ds is here to stay because of the amazing work of fans.
Can I homebrew after the shop is closed 😫??? anyone KNOW ???
I managed to bust out my 3DS XL recently.
I am blown away at how much the idea of the DS and its technology, still hold up today. It’s the same size as my phone just more thicker, and I actually get more enjoyment out of it than my phone, during down time.
This is why physical>digital. All online gaming services will close down sooner or later. U don't own digital games ever
I might be a gen z but I grew up with the ds it was honestly one of my favorite things ever.
yeah, im only 11 years old but ive spent most of my life playing wii and 3ds games, now i still play them gamss on my gaming pc and they look amazing
Nintendo consoles in general are never really stuck to one generation and that's what's so cool!
may i suggest the charging dock so you don't wareout the charging port? more a bout the stress on the connector itself
I felt exactly the same way about homebrewing my consoles but with the rapid closures of all these stores my mind completely flipped. I will be homebrewing my 3ds shortly. :)
it reminds me of the psp early homebrewing days and iphone jailbreaks. man glory days of enjoying the product to its fullest. i was able to hack the 3ds and it has been amazing to replay so many games i lost physically, this and the wii u are probably the last time i think well see this type of homebrewing. even the whole process was nostalgia of the early days.
Great video. I have always been afraid to homebrew my 3ds and I still haven’t done it but think I will after the eshop closure. Also FANTASTIC choices for music throughout this video. They are all extremely nostalgic and remind me all of my childhood. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much , Chance :) you know I had to pull out all the stops with Sonic Mega Collection and ACNL 🎶
@@nikgrgrio Update! I have since homebrewed 2 of my 3ds consoles and my Wii U! Absolutely love it!
The 3DS is such a great portable console. I remember being 22 in 2012, I got hurt at work and I was off for several weeks. I took some money and I got the red 3DS with Super Mario Bros. 2 and Zelda Ocarina of Time. I was really happy with my purchase!
I was always jealous of the red 3DS owners, and that is quite the pairing of first games to own for the system back then! I’m sure it made that recovery process a little easier :)
I also got the aqua blue 3ds on launch back then. Loved the game system but hated when it first came out because there wasn't alot of games in the game library at the time of launch. I ended up playing alot of Nintendo dogs 3ds then in later years they finally put some nicer games on it. A few years later I ended up importing an Australian 2ds for the game: Teddy Together 3ds specifically. What killed me was the game has a European release with not only the English language but also 9 other languages for every European game. I called Nintendo Of America on the phone several times asking them about an American release of Teddy Together & was told flat out by the manager of Nintendo of America that they had zero plans to release Teddy Together 3ds for America & to actually import a European 3ds & the copy of the game if I wanted to play it. I imported it but was ticked that I even had to import because of the fact Nintendo Of America was to lazy to release the game over here... 🤦♀️ Luckily with the switch it's region free. I play Japanese along with American switch games all the time. Why on earth nintendo region locked the 3ds is totally baffling to me. I knew other gamers back then who bought 3 3ds's: American, European, & Japanese in order to play 3ds games from other regions & had to categorize there 3ds games by region so it didn't brick the system. Other than that I still have my 3ds's & like / enjoy them but the region locking was annoying back then. 🤷♀️🤦♀️✌️
3ds is the best console ever released, imo. I also got the red one at first. I was pretty young and destroyed it, eventually. I kept getting them after that, and destroying them. Eventually I got a little older and the frequency at which I destroyed them slowed and I eventually got pretty good at taking them apart. Now I have a second hand battered new 3ds xl in same color of my very first, red. I still have no clue how I managed to continue procuring them after I kept destroying them. My greatest woe was my link between worlds 3ds xl... Losing that one killed my emotions and the trauma deleted my memories of it from my brain. I am a husk now, but at least I can repair a bottom screen's digitizer if I need to.
I’ve never owned a 3ds before but I feel the exact same way.
There’s just something so comforting about just sitting down and playing for hours on end with no worries whatsoever.
The next nintendo console needs to be a ds style handheld or something. The switch can be the home console until they do another one but the ds is so convenient.
The ds was so good and there is still room for improvement.
Love this. Been shopping for a 3DS all week after hearing about the closure and this popped up in my feed. Was bidding on a lot yesterday and lost on some expensive lot of games and a system. So glad I did. Just ordered a system and will homebrew it. Great video man!
I was shocked to see that since the shop is closing, which should maybe impact the price point…. It is still a full $40 to purchase a game. It would be cool if there was a closing sale (maybe there will be and I’m just not aware?) so that 3DS users could pick up some games before the chance is lost.
I guess it’s in the air. I just recently randomly got the urge to buy a new 2ds xl and I just homebrew’d it. Can’t wait to play all the games I used to play as a kid!!
Oh it's definitely in the air. Hope you're able to enjoy all the games and memories you had from being a kid!
Such a good video essay about the nintendo 3ds. In recent years ive picked the ds back up especially because of the 3ds pokemon versions, mario games, lego games ect. Its nice to see a guy talk with the same amount of passion and nostalgia about something you adore. Hope to see more vids like this!
I still play on my 3ds every day, my favorite game is Mario and Luigi dream team, alongside Luigi's mansion dark moon and Minecraft new 3ds. Homebrewing it is a must in 2023
wow! Your editing and camera skills are insane! I expected you to have at least a million subscribers. Well you are one step closer to 1 million. Keep up the good work.
haha good to know that film degree paid off in some way ;) no, but really, I extremely appreciate you saying that and super happy to have you here!
Absolutely amazing video. It’s hard finding small channels like these so once and a while it’s refreshing to watch stuff like this. Extremely underrated as well, I can tell just by the amount of effort put into this you will start getting more attention
the passion is real
So its time to pirate. Im sorry nintendo you make us to do it
Man, using my handed down 3ds recently that I barely used at all, makes me wish I used it more and that the switch had its quirks and personality, I like having cool themes and cool background console music
I definitely miss that Iwata Era where we had fun menu music and personality to our consoles but then again, BOTW rocks 🥸
Also dude, finish up Majoras Mask 💜
@@nikgrgrio dude I just beat the freaking great bay temple last night and I was so bad there I barely beat that ass of a boss with 2 minutes left to spare on the final day before the moon hit 💀
It is a huge abuse how these sellers raise the prices of their games indiscriminately..
Currently in the process of homebrewing my 3ds and I'm planning on buying a new 2ds xl too if this one ever dies on me. I love this system to death
for me its the same, I found mine while at my grandma's, recharged it, then homebrewed it (its a new 3ds xl)
literally funny how most of us would never have home brewed if it weren't for the shop closing... i just did mine last week. bought a 128gb new battery and did it up.. everything was good except my y button didn't work took it apart had to clean the contact and now its perfect.
Is this why I haven't seen any 3ds versions in ALMOST ANY GAME STORES!?
The thing with the 3DS is that, despite being a portable device, it's not necessarily "bite-sized." SMTIV and IV Apocalypse are full-on JRPGs, for example. The Fire Emblem games are long and battles can take ages. Culdcept Revolt (imo one of the 3DS's most underrated, elusive, and obscure titles) is sort of bite-sized, but it's built in a way that matches take ages. Heck, we have Xenoblade Chronicles ad MGS3 on the 3DS. With some enhancements, many of those games would be right at home on a home console or even the PC. I had a GBC growing up and later on I got a DSi XL. And then, much later on I got a second-hand 3DS XL so I could play ACNL and gen 7 Pokemon. The 3DS has since been my favorite gaming device. I'm still primarily a PC gamer, but my 3DS is always in close proximity and I always take it outside on the slim chance I'll get a streetpass. Funny enough, I did get ONE on New Year when coming back home from London.
Gabriel, you could not be more right. The 3DS has such a massive catalog of hour-suckers like the games you mentioned and that even though we have PCs and consoles we can take with us on the go, the 3DS still has more than enough space to exist in our setups.
I also haven't heard of Culdcept Revolt, but I will definitely have to check that one out!
this video is a masterpiece
I really like the 3ds family of consoles. They just had some of the best titles imo. Now that I've watched the video, I'm gonna consider homebrewing my 2DS XL now. (I'm sad about no streetpasses aswell)
I got 5 one og 3ds 2 standard new XL one limited edition new XL and one hylian shield 2ds. I'm good for life.
Shocked that this channel only has 1.6k subs. You got a really good knack for storytelling and writing. Definitely will be looking for more.
Wow this is a well made video! :D
this title brought me here. i remember when dad came home and brung me and my siblings a dsi i wanted one for so long and even asked santa for a pink dsi.. i was so happy but with four siblings we were very destructive especially since i was i believe 6 or 8 not sure but every year i always feel nostalgic when thinking about my many ds’ i had. the 3ds was the console i had the most memories with so i plan to save up and get another before the eshop closes!
I just got a DSi recently and that is a GREAT incarnation of the DS 👌 the 3DS // DS for a lot of people tends to represent the first console that really belonged to them, and that’s so special
Hopefully you’re able to nab one, but I know they’re getting more and more expensive by the minute :/
IS THAT MY FAVORITE ESHOP EXSCLUSIVE? MIGHTY SWITCH FORCE!
duuuuude you totally deserve tons more subscribers considering this amazing production quality!! your vids are really really good!!
mobu, you really rock for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate every single person who even glances at these videos, let alone comment and subscribe so thank you :)
Im struggling to homebrew tbh. My laptop doesnt want to update to the new Microsoft internet/firefox/chrome etc. Thus i cant download the files i have the old Lumi files.
And yes I own 4 3DS versions! 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS, New 3DS XL.... yup... and I cant homebrew!
I'm scrambling to get everything I want digitally. It's all the Pokemon stuff though.
I just hacked my 3DS a couple weeks ago, and now, not only do I NOT have to worry about the eShop closure, but my 3DS is now also a DS, a portable SNES, NES, and full-fledged GBA, and it all fits on a 128g SD. Food for thought: It's wrong to pirate games, but is paying $75+ dollars for a single game, cart-only, used on eBay any better? Either way, no money goes to the developers and publishers. The only difference is whether or not I get screwed. In the case of "homebrewing", that answer is no. Instead I get to play any 3DS/DS and any retro game I want, whenever I want, wherever I want, for free. ARRRRRR MATEY!
Having a streetpass event in Las Vegas November 18th bringing back streetpass ❤🎉
I've been pirating games since I was little, when my father got me a R4, but my reasoning ha always been “I'll try it, and if I really like it I’ll buy it”.
I have many physical games, for ds, 3ds and switch, and a whole folder worth of games on a hard disk, both for ds, 3ds and gb/gbc/gba (for these I have an emulator on the R4).
Also feels like a good reminder. Fellow kings and queens, jailbreak your 3DS if ya haven't already, prior to the full closure of the eshop. As games get more obsolete, overpriced, or outright impossible to find, it's the best time than ever to homebrew your 3DS consoles.
Plus it's really easy and straightforward
This is the reason why I won’t buy anymore digital games !
If you lose your 3DS or it breaks, then what, you can’t download your games back on your new 3DS ?!?
At least with cartridges this is not an issue. You bought your game, you’ll play with it in 30 years.
This is a shame.
Bro you need a switch lite with a clamshell case. It fits perfectly in the pocket. My issue with the switch is yeah it's "portable" but not pocketable. A switch lite fixed everything. It has sadly but for the best replaced my pocket spot for the 3ds. I have the OLED on the dock and I don't even play it around the house because the Lite is so much more comfortable to hold. Highly recommend!
As a pirate ...... Im failing to understand the sad parts of the intro of the video lol ... Nice video tho 🦐
the MOMENT that store closes im homebrewing my 3ds. my view on piracy is that, if the copyright holder of a game doesn't provide access to the game, piracy is acceptable. i know, it's illegal and all, but are the police really going to hunt you down for playing a game you have purchased before by downloading it as a rom from the internet archive?
I agree that the discontinuation of the 3DS eShop won't kill it. Just look at the Wii. A lot of people still play on the Wii even though the Wii Shop Channel was discontinued years ago. And get this, if you homebrew your Wii you''ll have free access to a virtual console that's way better than the switch virtual console will ever be. Homebrew also allows you to use a free bootleg online service that some veterans claim is better than the discontinued Nintendo WFC. You can even install a mod on your Wii that allows you to play DVDs (so now i can watch Revenge of The Sith on my Wii lol). Nintendo thought they could kill their old consoles, but Homebrew allows these old consoles to cheat death.
3DS is awesome, it’s not perfect, but it’s better than the Switch and I probably put more hours into it than my own social life.
No one out grows Nintendo but hate for Nintendo is the in thing and a lot of people are closet Nintendo fans joining the bandwagon. I know a few people who shit on Nintendo all the time but have a 3DS or Switch loaded with games. I will be 40 this year and I just ordered a New 3DS so I can mod it out to be a retro handheld and I will be loading it with all my childhood Nintendo and Sega games so I can relive them all again.
that's one of the reasons why I have a Nintendo Switch Lite it's portable enough to fit in your pocket like a 3DS
yeah i was a switch owner . in the past i bring my switch in my work place and play game in break time. after i buy a 3ds and pokemon y and monster hunter 3u . i barely touch and bring my switch i fell in love on my orginal 3ds
In my opinion nintendo ds/3ds deliver more fun factor gaming than nintendo switch🙏
Man I got genuinely sad about the eshop closing, it was like another nail in my childhood’s coffin. I got sad that I wouldn’t see that awesome download animation anymore. It’s even worse when switch eshop is so boring and dull about its presentation, and compared to other Nintendo consoles the switch shop isn’t so special as most of the stuff there can be found on other gaming devices
this video makes me wanna play my 3ds again
glad i have my XL, thanks for making this video man :)
Nice video, i have the same things like your, new 3ds for the go and switch oled for home, both of them are moded. :)
you should try homebrew
All roms are free online to download and play on a jailbroken 3ds
No need for physical or shop games anymore
Got this recommend video and subscribed after the video. Good job!
Dang I don't want to homebrew my 3DS but I also don't want to spent a lot of money trying to get my old games back that I sold to gamestop. ( They basically scammed me but I had no idea ) I feel like if I hack my 3DS it wont even be a 3DS anymore... Like itll just be a bootleg thing. It's hard to explain...
Fizzikk, you have no idea how much I relate to your comment. That's exactly how I was feeling until I, like you, wanted to recollect my old games but didn't want to light my wallet on fire to recollect them. and I felt the same way about ruining my console with that "bootleg" feeling, which is why I still kept that white background, hid all the homebrew apps in a folder
I totally get it!
Just buy a used 3ds that you can mod and over time if you find cheap games online you can
re-buy your old collection :)
I did the same, I have tons of didital games on my 3DS but I'm furious about the eShop situation, I never pirated a Nintendo once and I stopped pirating PC games when I got into Steam thanks to Portal.
But now I'll just go to homebrew way without guilt
In my country nintendo was never popular. Many people had region unlocked NES called Dendi (and no one knew it was Nintendo console) and a few owned GBA. And then there were predominantly playstations and PC. So during 3ds times there was one and only PSP. And honestly now as I grew older I feel that I missed out so many good games with 3ds. What a joy it must be to be a kid with 3ds and having friends who had also had it.
Sad to see E-Shop closing on March, saving up for a 3DS so I can transfer my Gen 5 Pokémon to Bank.
The 3DS has a similar home-brewing experience as the PS Vita
Soon its justified to downloads free games on the ds family
I still play my 3DS XL very often. Games like Fire Emblem Awakening, Gotta Protectors, Wario Land 2, Super Mario Bros. are what keep me entertained. I still have a huge smile on my face when I boot it up and peruse the list of games I have for it.
Nintendo really needs to put their entire handheld library on the Switch. I like Nintendo Online as a concept, but they are dragging their feet with the games they are adding to it.
I play my 3ds every day. I will be sad to see the e shop go, Nintendo should just make one continuous e shop
I never had a 3DS growing up despite how much I wanted one. It sucked since I got to play on one of my friend’s 3DS and it was FUN!!!! But the tragic bit was that when my mum finally said I could get one for my birthday, they were discontinued. I’m upset I never got to experience that joyous experience that so many people have talked about. But this passion for the 3DS that I still have to this day more than a decade later has led me to start saving up to get one second hand. I’m very excited! I hope I’ll be able to feel the joy that many have described despite missing out on online features 😊
@@kawaiimarea I love reading about your undying passion for the 3DS as someone who didn’t own one growing up. I’m hoping the stars align and you’re able to find one you don’t have to save up too much for, considering how pricey they are these days. I’m so excited for you!!!
modern 3ds now a days is the gpd win max 2 worth every penny
What if we all just gathered in one spot, and proceeded to streetpass the shit out of the plaza? That'd be glorious
I love this video
Man, you started off the video with new leaf 11 pm? AND the end of the 3DS Eshop? You can’t one-two-combo punch my heart like that!🥺
Sorry Stephen haha, it was either that or 8pm ;)
I had only Nintendo consoles until I was 14. I had a DS Lite, DSi, 3DS, Wii and Wii U before then. Now, I like my Series X but I’ve been going back to Nintendo too. I probably spend 3 times as long on my Nintendo consoles compared to my Xbox. If I could only pick one console, It’d be a hard choice between the Wii U (with Wii support and a killer eShop collection) and the 3DS (DS Support and a great shop too). I’ve home brewed my Wii to play CTGP:R but haven’t gotten to doing it on my 3DS yet.
me who has a modded sysstem
Im so sad. That we are in nintendo switch era. But i still dont even get a touch on a nintendo 3ds. 😭
