      Forgot to mention that the 3Ds is probably still worth it in 2020 because it can play original DS games. Especially for the type of person who loves retro/older games to this day.

      I agree! I originally had a Cosmo Black 3DS, then one day it broke. So I bought a red 2DS, had that for awhile. Later I bought another 3DS, the Midnight Purple model. I know there is plenty of cool limited edition designs for the XL. But for me it's just too large. I did like the 2DS form factor, being more like the Gameboys. I hate the name choice of New Nintendo 3DS. Why couldn't it be called the Super 3DS? I know the N3DS has a bunch of upgrades but again, the only models available in my area were the huge XLs. Plus it always just felt too expensive to being out in public or fear of dropping one. Maybe one day I'll try for a New 2DS.

    Personally I love the old 3DS design and its colors. It's the closest to my favorite ever DS model, the DS lite. But you gotta put down a cloth to prevent the touch screen frame from scratching the top screen... that's the only big drawback, I think. I like the stylus placement more than on the side because over time it can start to fall out the side, similar to how it would happen on the DS-lite.
    New 3DS is great too and also similar to DS lite design (more similar in some ways actually), but I don't like the limited colors available compared to the old 3DS. Using an aqua blue old to this day full of emulators and custom firmware. Shoutouts to all of the people that make this possible and so easy to do.

    I have an original black 3ds just exactly the same as in your video, I bought it when only the first two models were available.
    I remember that when the new 3ds was released, I was so excited because of the customizable shells, I even wanted to shell my old 3ds to get the newer one, but later I was dissappointed when I found out that Nintendo decided to market the customizable model only in Japan and Europe, while in America they only marketed the new 3ds xl model without the customizable shell, so the only way to get a normal new 3ds was importing it from Europe/Japan, but here in latin America importing is very expensive and the console would be region locked, so I decided to stick with my original 3ds, which I still have to this day, maybe now that the switch rules the market I could buy a new 3ds with the customizable shell at a cheaper price

I've been thinking of getting a new3dsxl to replace my dsixl. If I get it, i'll just try a few games like New Leaf and SM3DL, while still playing my DS games. My problem is: I have a switch lite and I play it A LOT (ACNH, BOTW, SSBU). I don't know if a 3ds would be worth getting if it's not worth the time compared to the switch. I'd really like to buy one, i just want to make sure that i'm not gonna blow $150+ on something i won't use.

      I think it would be. The biggest advantage of the 3DS compared to the Switch is how it's much smaller and more durable.
      I think the 2DS wouldn't really be a big advantage since it's just as large as a Switch. They say it's more durable but the original 3DS already will stand up to any reasonable abuse you will likely inflict on it.

    I pre-ordered a New 2DS XL with my sister years ago and we picked ours up from the closest GameStop. I had a 3DS XL, but the screen was damaged, so it was the perfect opportunity to get an affordable replacement. I love the design and how well it works. My only possible complaint is the stylus, but I don’t need to use if very often, and if I feel like a need a longer one, I can either just use my fingers or another stylus.
    The old 2DS may be super cheap, but the uncovered screens and buttons make it really easy to get them dirty or damaged, especially for someone with a tendency to drop things like me. Add into the mix the little kid who’s getting it, it’ll probably get really dirty and maybe scratched or dented within the first few months of use.

Probably because I was not raised to be a brat that didn't care about breaking expensive things. Though I don't use it anymore, of course, to this day it's hardly damaged and still perfectly functional, complete with its original stylus that somehow hasn't gone missing yet.

    Oh man, my first in the 3DS family I owned was the OG 2DS, it was legit the best entry point for me specifically because of the value. Then I got a New 3DS XL a few years later.
    Sadly I ended up having to sell them for reasons, but I recently bought a New 2DS XL and I now refuse to sell it ever again, and I'm slowly rebuilding the old library I had.

    I just watched the same video twice and it was completely worth it.
    These have basically convinced me to get a New 3DS XL, since I'm limiting myself to the new market and Nintendo still makes them, albeit refurbished.
    I still have some consideration to do, but that's the one I'm aiming for. That or a 2DS. Not a New 2DS XL. Never.

      ​@@dylanhimselfprod8256 Yes! Go to their online store, which is store DOT nintendo DOT com, and look under the 3DS tab at the top, and go to systems, and there they are! They still offer the original 2DS, the New 3DS XL, and the New 2DS XL. Sadly, not the plain New 3DS. I can't speak as to whether they're in stores, though, and I am in the U.S.A., so if you're in another market, I don't know whether they'll have them.

Comfier to hold and the clamshell hinge isn’t a flip floppy mess, and overall it feels sturdier and heavier. For my kids I opted for a 2DS, which is more than enough for them. Great video!

    I own 2 N3DSXLs, 2 2DSs, and 2 N2DSXLs. I keep a "daily driver" of each model and a backup, new in box, in the closet. That way I can beat the heck out of em, not feel bad, and know that while everyone else is on the latest Nintendo console of the future, I can still slog my way through the backlog of DS and 3DS titles I've been wanting to play (and will probably be playing through for several years)
    And I agree, the cheapest and ugliest of the consoles, the 2DS, is the most comfortable to hold. So it gets the most playtime with me. Although I did just order a grip for the N2DSXL in hopes that improves things. The fps drop on the high end games is somewhat noticeable on the slowest of the handhelds.
    The whole COVID thing, combined with the run on Switches, has increased the demand for the 3DS. Consequently the prices are on the rise. If you don't own one by now, you're probably relegated to the Japanese "LL" model or the Black Pokemon edition from Saudi Arabia/Malaysia markets. It's the "world edition" so it still works in the US with US format games and software. At the time of this comment it is about $225-250 online. A plain black US N3DSXL goes $300 easily in new condition right now. N2DSXLs go for $99-150.
    TL;DR, given current demand... Maybe a Switch light is a wiser purchase.

    I own 3ds xl that broke 2 years ago, and for nostalgia I wanted to play my old games. Sadly since my portable console is broken and it does not register my games anymore I had to find a solution. I tried to clean it and to somehow repair it and I must say it worked for a few days. Then it ended up breaking even more and almost nothing is useable now, I can barely turn it on. The thing is I really don’t want to throw away my old games. But the sad part is that a *used* 3ds xl on amazon costs 230€. That’s almost DOUBLE the amount I payed it on the day one!!! And it’s not even new!!! What should I do?

  • @Malisteen

    If you're getting one of these things on the secondary market today, you definitely want to go with a "new" and "xl" model, either new 2ds xl for cheaper or new 3ds xl for 3d. There's just more you can do with them, especially with custom firmware. Regular new 3ds is also ok, but hand-crampingly and eye-strainingly small makes it less than ideal. The only reason to consider a non-new model is if you're getting one for a young child, in which case the original 2ds's hingeless design is preferred as it's much more durable.

    A big thing of the 3DS though is how durable it is. I went through 4 DS lite's but I'm still using the 1 3DS I bought back in 2013. Especially with the Switch being very fragile. Mine already has quite a few scratches and even a few cracks in it. The 3Ds is still as glossy and perfectly functional as when I bought it despite surviving just as many falls and abuse. It's also much more compact than the Switch. It's small enough that I can put it into my jeans pocket which I can't do with the switch. With the Switch I need to wear a jacket and I usually have to take the Joycons off as well to get it to fit easily. Also with how delicate the Switch is I am often nervous about taking it to places where it could get damaged. The 3DS had no such issue.
    I do not think a Switch lite would be a good idea since I can't take the joycons off. While it is narrower than a standard switch it's still considerably wider than one with the joycons off.
