Imo I think the New 3DS is the best one I prefer the smaller size (Bigger doesn’t always mean better to me) cause it doesn’t tire out my hands after prolonged use, it’s cuter with the the more mat finish than the glossy one and the buttons are more colorful and the swappable face plates are also a pro!
My thoughts exactly. I sold my XL to buy the smaller unit and don’t regret it at all. I’ve always prioritized portability, and the normal New 3DS fits great in a pocket.
Even tho I recently got a new 3DS XL, I still own my original red 3DS and it sits comfortably next to my original blue DS as well 😌 I get a bit nostalgic looking at it, 11 years strong with the little guy 💪🏼
The 3DS XL to the O3DS is definitely one of the biggest glowups in console history. I made a list of the improvements, look: -Better 3D slider -Less noisy open/close -Better quality face buttons -Better quality D-Pad -Better power button -Better battery -Bigger screens -Better stylus placement -Sleeker design -Better headphone jack placement -More easily removable backplate -Nicer looking LED lights -Better "option" buttons (HOME, Start, Select) -Bigger shoulder buttons And finally, -The top screen can slot into two positions
I got a new 3DS myself, for the sole reason that you could customize the cover with so-called "kisekae plates." Yes, stickers have always been a thing but they usually peel off after a while and may or may not leave sticky residue, so I wanted something that could easily be replaced should I ever want to do so. In reality, I only ever changed them out the one time after my new kisekae plates arrived, but it's okay because I really do enjoy my current gold/white polkadot pattern one, and other kisekae plates are still available online, so it's not that big of a deal.
Still have my Cosmo black original 3DS. 11 years and this bad boy is still going. Although I still think the original model is much more durable than the original 3DS XL and the 2DS XL.
I have the new 3ds xl and I prefer the original 3ds model, I like how compact and premium it feels and the pixel density makes the screen look better in my opinion…
And is more Portable than The Others... Almost the size of an Modern Phone, i Think it being Pocketable makes up for it's Simple design and Being Less Powerful
I get where you’re coming from. The glossy design of the original is different to the matte finish of the others. Personally, I like both but lots of people don’t like the original’s glossy design because of obvious fingerprints.
I’ve always had the New 3DS XL and my sister had the 3DS Classic (she was 2 years younger then me and didn’t care) and it brings back so much memories. Sometimes I still grab them out of the boxes and play Mario Party on them with her. Good times.
The XL consoles are great, but honestly I prefer the original size since it fits in my pocket better and it’s harder to notice the pixel size compared to the XLs
I like the 2ds because it looks like a doorstop, and mine is the electric blue one with that vibrant matte finish 😩 my favorite Lots of good memories with that thing, and I still play it 5 or 6 years later so hopefully I’ll make a lot more ❤️
Original 2ds is the best one it's by far the most comfortable for long gaming sessions in games like Pokemon and smash. It was by far the cheapest 3ds console and still is. People complain about how the screens will get cracked because it doesn't fold even though all the game boy models besides the sp didn't fold. You should be fine if you know how to be careful about dropping a console. Also, a 2ds is built like a brick and will endure many drops.
The OG 2Ds deserves much higher, I would place it right before N3DSXL because it’s just so comfortable. I recently switched from my Mario maker edition to a 3DS XL and wow, the 2DS is just way more comfortable. I still like all the smaller features of the 3DS models and am using mine regularly, but the 2DS just lacks any worry about cramps and pain
Agreed. If they also stuck with the standard sized New 3DS and then made it bigger for its New 3DS XL model (especially for North America where they wouldn’t get the standard sized New 3DS), as well as giving it swappable face plates like the smaller model, it would have been better. I still love the New 3DS and New 3DS XL though.
The new 3DS made sense. It had a slightly bigger screen than the original 3DS and that made a difference for those who still preferred the smaller 3DS, it had the c stick which while not the best was still much better than having to use the touch screen to move the camera in games like Mario 64, it had more power, and it got rid of the glossy finish that just aged badly. Plus, it was customizable with many different faceplates and to probably alot of people, that just made the device more fun and much more personal.
The 3ds was my first console and I remember going to a game store and getting the legendary starfy (best game ever btw) man life was so much better back then
Something worth to note is that the original 3ds was very fragile, mine broke after just three years, one of the connection between the upper and lower part broke, it was awful. The successor was a 3ds xl that even after 8 years of service still works perfectly, it's way more sturdy and solid than the original.
i have the red 3ds xl but i like the design and form factor of the 2DS xl. the biggest w for the 3ds xl is the display being a better ips and the 3D i rarely use which is also optional
I love my new 3ds xl because it has the prettiest colorway ever. I have the galaxy model which has a gorgeous multi chrome blue and purple interior and for that, it cannot be topped lol
New 3ds is the best one in my opinion. Best form factor, bigger screen than the original but not massive like the xl, compact and portable and best of all, the swappable top and bottom faceplates with a lot of variety that look amazing. The colorful buttons that are a nod to the super famicom are a nice touch as well. Must have for die hard Nintendo fans.
I had a new 3ds xl as a kid, it was lost about 6 years ago and i found it in my attic still working! The attic in my house is really hot so i’m just wondering how it survived…
the 2ds is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable to hold
the new 2ds xl is arguably them ost durable one tbh, it shows scratches less than the new 3ds xl... meanwhile, my old 2ds gets wear and tear extremely easily, sure, it wont snap in half but that's not all that durability is@@john-sp8jk
honestly, the New 3ds (non XL) is the best one in my opinion. Not sure what you mean by "it doesn't make any sense", but the form factor is wonderful, the smaller displays make games look crisper, and it's the only one with customizable face-plates.
I own the old 3DS XL and new 2DS XL, and I’ve also played on my brother’s old 3DS. I would also rank them in the same order. The og 3DS’s screens are a bit too small for my taste. I don’t mind playing DS games on screens this small, but it feels awkward with 3DS games. The old 3DS is massive, which is great for gameplay, but it is noticeably heavy. The new 2DS is one of the most comfortable consoles I own.
After hearing the End of Manufacturing news, my mom contacted her friends and found a New Nintendo 3DS XL Pikachu Edition, we didn't think it twice and bought it, came with Super Mario Maker included but now it's hacked
If you have IPS screens on your N3DSXL, I would agree. But if you ended up with TN screens, I'd have to side with N2DSXL - it's way more comfortable and affordable, even on today's markets.
I think i like original 3ds model more than original 2ds model because its small enough to put in your pocket, and also it has clamshell design that protect its screen from getting scrathed
Haven’t touched my old 3DS XL in quite a while (going to have had it for 10 years in two months), the circle pad started drifting and I was too lazy to repair it. Definitely miss using it though!
I have the old 3DS XL and while it's not as good as a New 3DS I still really like it. The gameplay is actually the same as well, because many games have an FPS cap as well. Except for a few games that I will never play like Monster Hunter anyway. The 3ds has a few loading lags but they are very rare and not really bad. If anyone has a different opinion, please let me know.

Those things are hard to hold for me, I personally prefer the new 3ds XL
the new 3ds xl and non xl and the 2ds are the best systems out of the family. 2ds I say for ergonomics.
Yeah they feel like a actual console other than a hand held console
Imo I think the New 3DS is the best one I prefer the smaller size (Bigger doesn’t always mean better to me) cause it doesn’t tire out my hands after prolonged use, it’s cuter with the the more mat finish than the glossy one and the buttons are more colorful and the swappable face plates are also a pro!
Agreed. You can comfortably put it in your pockets and take it with you as well.
My thoughts exactly. I sold my XL to buy the smaller unit and don’t regret it at all. I’ve always prioritized portability, and the normal New 3DS fits great in a pocket.
It all depends on hand size, For me the non XL feels cramping after an hour of usage
Isnt it japanese only
@@boliRoblox nah a scarce few came out in other areas in like bundles and deals but that’s it so it’s pretty rare as a result.

Igor pfp ahh
I’m glad Nintendo still makes hand held consoles, exited to see what they do for there next one
They don't make these no more the switches are the main lineup the switch lite being the main handheld of the lineup now
The 3DS XL to the O3DS is definitely one of the biggest glowups in console history.
I made a list of the improvements, look:
-Better 3D slider
-Less noisy open/close
-Better quality face buttons
-Better quality D-Pad
-Better power button
-Better battery
-Bigger screens
-Better stylus placement
-Sleeker design
-Better headphone jack placement
-More easily removable backplate
-Nicer looking LED lights
-Better "option" buttons (HOME, Start, Select)
-Bigger shoulder buttons
And finally,
-The top screen can slot into two positions
The New 3DS XL also has most of those features and more, but I hate that they put the MicroSD card on the back.
“it had more power but it didn’t make any sense” what does that even mean
Facts. if you’re gonna say the new 3ds doesn’t make sense, you can’t say the 2ds doesn’t either
@@sinful9347 …maybe people wanted it for the removable face plates ;-;
