i, as an 8 yo kid when the original 3ds was released, did in fact use my stylus half-extended. as my hands grew larger i kept extending it more and more. I distinctly remember the day when i started using it fully extended for the first time. I get it, it's weird, but it's a niche memory that i like to have
I lost that stylus in my dads car to never find it again, but I also sold the 3ds so I don’t care, but I had to use some other telescopic stylus that was for some reason the same size as the 3ds stylus, but was to round to fit in it
funnily enough this line was never in the original video At first I thought “maybe it’s a perfectly cut part of the original” or that it was in a different voice, but no, the phrase wasn’t there to begin with :P If you’re wondering, the original video’s name is something like “Mario’s 3DS Tour”
@@SKCro. That line is originally from a joke "sex ed" Mario video on youtube. Mario introduces himself and Luigi to the audience in his classic italian accent and luigi is just like "hello, Mario."
This is the perfect follow up to the Scott the Woz video I just watched. I'm glad AK family knows what I'm watching so he can make the smoothest transition possible 🔥
The Fountain Pen is SO good that Nintendo was selling them standalone on their website and after finding that out I made sure to snag one. I've been using it ever since and its just so nice
How the hell did they not add the Thumb Stylus for other DS systems, it would've been a godsend for later games that got crazy combining buttons and stylus controls. Also, you can add The World Ends With You as a Switch game that "needs" the stylus.
it actually reminds me of how monster hunter 4 ultimate has a dpad on the touch screen so u can control the camera with ur right hand on the old 3ds but its always here so u can navigate all the menu with touch pad only and one handed
i remember thinking the original 3ds stylus was the coolest thing ever, it made the system feel even more premium to me as a kid. tho i learned quickly not to extend it to the max all the time since it started to bend from all the pressure i put on it. i was one of "those" to only extend it half way after that
"You've clicked on this video, there's no turning back." Time to slip on a banana peel and "accidentally" close the tab in the process... Who am I kidding, I'm watching this all the way through.
I remember when I was a kid I had a dream that the DS lite stylus had a screen on it and when I woke up I was so upset that it wasn’t real 😭 looking back now though, literally what purpose would a screen on the stylus have
The wii remote is a stylus. Imagine if you could play DS games on the original Wii and you use the Wii remote to do all the pointing where the A button counts as you tapping on the screen wherever the cursor is. If you don't believe me there was a Wario Ware game that literally did that so.
Ahh, your N3DSXL has peeling paint as well. Mine started peeling just six months after I bought the system >.> ive been using a protective shell ever since.
Same, had the system since ~2016 and over time, after a lot of use, the paint just kinda flaked off. Only on the backplate though wich I need to replace anyways.. because the screws broke off.
@zetafish7347 Nah, it's the sweat from your hands reacting with the foil. It happened to me as well... i dont even have sweaty hands, it's just the foil is really fragile. Ive seen some horror story units, Scott the Woz's are barely still together even though it wasn't his DS of choice.
You forgot to mention the official Super Mario Maker 2 Stylus, which has different theming. This was sold as a preorder bonus for Japan and the UK. Not sure if this was sold in the US, unfortunately.
I think the OG Nintendo 3DS looks awesome it's one of the best looking Nintendo consoles just like the Nintendo GameBoy micro.

2:55 I really liked this kind of stylus as a kid! Not only was it more comfortable in the hand, it also felt like it glided smoother over the touch screen. If the new larger stylus at 4:13 is anything like it, I can understand why you put it on first place.
YES! OMG! I Thought I chewed it to the point it won’t fit (I have sensory issues) so I got a new one and…. It didn’t stay in. I taped a stylus in because I HATE the way it feels without one and use my Apple Pencil.
New 3DS owner here. My stylus falls out all the time. I lost the one that came with it and used my finger for like 3 years until I bought a pack of 3rd party ones that fall out easier.
And... My only "switch" stylus is the one that's the pre order bonus for the Hong Kong version of Etrian Odyssey. That game is kinda designed to be played with a stylus and you got to wonder why that stylus isn't bundled in box, but rather just a pre order bonus.
Also that game is inconveniently priced over 400 RMB in conversion and I got taxed 9.1% to have it imported to the main land. For how much Sega Hong Kong seems to care about the mainland market got to think that's probably an oversight.
9:09 I've had this happen on my small new 3DS as well. I believe it has to do with the smaller nub on the side of the stylus that actually grips the system. As it gets used, the plastic gets worn down to the point where it won't grip in the system anymore
Leave it to Akfamilyhome to do a whole video ranking each and every Nintendo stylus. Or atleast all the standard first-party ones. Also, I don't watch Scott The Woz, so forgive me for being among those late in saying that his singing voice is pretty good!
9:22: You’re not alone! I have nearly lost my stylus COUNTLESS times due to this stupid design. In fact, the stylus wouldn’t hold itself in at all after a while, so I had to uncomfortably use my pinky to keep it in there while I played. I ended up resorting to a piece of tape, which eventually fell off and lead me to lose my stylus. Go figure 🙃
I wish I had the Phantom Hourglass feather stylus 😭 Even though it's a mid game at best, it was one of my first games, and the stylus is absolutely sick.
I bought a 5 pack of the fountain pen stylus on Amazon. They are the Wii U color scheme mentioned in the video, complete with the writing on the side. The listing didn't mention Nintendo at all which I found funny.
9:24 that almost happened to me, I nearly lost the stylus on my new 2ds xl because of that problem before I figured out a way to wedge it in so it wouldn't fall out
yes!! a video on my favorite digital accessory of all time, thank you for fueling my hyperfixation!! i actually stopped using the new 3dsxl stylus unless i absolutely need it. casio makes some absolutely insane styluses for their electronic dictionaries that i use absolutely everywhere LMAO
i got a used new 3ds for christmas and hated the stylus so much that i just taped it directly into the system and bought normal DS lite styluses to replace it. it was so beaten up it was falling out and i kept losing it anyway. i might look into the pen stylus now though
That DS phat thumb strap stylus is actually pretty neat. I used that for Kid Icarus Uprising, and managed to dodge most of the woes that come with that game as a left-handed person (since I put it on my right thumb).
9:23 yeah my stylus started sticking out like that as well and eventually it became so worn out that there was no way for it to stay in the system when playing it. Never lost it though lol
Shoutout to that Theatrhythm preorder stylus, it's my personal pick. High quality texturing, no weird gimmick shape, perfect tip. I once lost mine in the bowels of the family car, and the day a year later where it finally decided to roll back into the light was one of the happiest of my life.
9:06 ive noticed this issue with my n3dsxl ever since i started using it again. it could be that i have a bootleg stylus, since i lost my original, but it is pretty annoying
Man, the Scribblenauts pencil stylus actually looks super comfy to hold because of the fact that it’s so thick. I’d love to get one someday, especially since I’d do anything to get my hands on Scribblenauts merch lmao
I love my telescopic stylus. I never had any issues with needing to turn the 3ds around, since I could just slide it out with my left ring finger. I did have some issues with it rattling and sliding out, which was easily fixed with a tiny strip of packaging tape wrapped around the thicker part of the stylus, which is now pretty much impossible to see.
i have the colors live sonarpen and its very good at what its designed to do!! the pressure sensitivity is someof the best on any drawing tablet ive used, INCLUDING my surface pro pen, which was very surprising
I was actually thinking of making and 3d printing a telescoping stylus for my new 3ds xl so it fits the same but is longer when drawing on it as the original one is a bit too short for me also, I lost my original new 3ds stylus as it just fell and I never found it again, I got new ones but even the new one starts to slip out easily after a year of use and I am thinking of hiding a verry small double sided piece of tape inside or put something that will hold it in when its in so it wont slip out on its own actually, something I got as a reflex is to put my pinky finger against it so it holds it in or to feel how my finger stays in place when there isnt a stylus
for the N3DSXL loose stylus issue, I recommend putting a bit of gaffer's tape in the slot when the faceplate is off to make a soft grippy padding to the slot, it's held on much better in the years since I've done that.
We can fight all we want over which stylus is the best, but my only issue is that the new 3ds systems’ styluses are fatter and don’t fit with any other systems. Sure the styluses of ds lite, dsi, 3ds, etc. may not perfectly fit each other, but at least they still slide in and more or less lock in place
Putting some electrical tape in the stylus slot on the N3DS XL gives just enough extra friction that it won’t fall out anymore. It’s an easy mod and imo makes pulling the stylus out feel a bit nicer to boot
Fun fact: The DS Lite stylus is so ubiquitous that it just comes with random unrelated stuff nowadays. When I bought a touchscreen designed for the Arduino, it came with a DS Lite stylus.
straight up have been using my yellow telescopic stylus for the last decade- lost the one that came with my original second hand 3ds, have no clue where the one that came with my galaxy 3ds went or when i lost it, and all of the original and cheap 3rd party ones i got for my original DS back in the day are probably microplastics in the dust of my house by now. i got the yellow one from a pack either i or my siblings bought around ten years ago and i've managed to keep track of it. when i lent my galaxy 3ds to my sibling for them to fix something and try out some modding, i drove home not to lose it! i'm pretty attached to it somehow lmao
i'm 99% sure the one i bought a few years ago is an official nintendo stylus that would go above the current S tier rating here. It's like a functional clicky pen with a rubber grip on the bottom, exactly like a pen. I got it for cheap edit: yup i found it back
I have no clue how many dsi styluses I went through because I kept chewing them and breaking the little bit at the top that makes sure the stylus stays in the dsi
7:34 I'm pretty sure that the original DS also had something like that on the nub, though? Like, ok, they were little squares instead of straight lines, but still.
Another thing to remember about the Stylus is that many of us first used them as children. Meaning I’m willing to bet the original DS stylus and ones after were designed around children. Although the most comfortable and best stylus by far has to be the Nerf DS foam case Stylus. Which was large and covered in foam making it super firm interior and soft outside. It was literally the only stylus I could use for super extended periods of time.
About the New 3DS XL stylus, I had that happen to me too eventually and i just put a bit of tape inside of the spot the stylus goes in and it made it way more snug, it doesnt really pop out anymore as a result.
The best type of stylus is actually the random one you get given when buying a second hands 3ds online, that does not fit into the slot, meaning you have to use a rubber band so you don't lose it (very informative video, turns out I have a 2ds stylus)
The funny thing is: the Video is about how big and long the Stylus are (that what she said) But for me: i was always thinking about, how well you can "write" with it, without feeling writing on "rubber" or if the tip of the stylus has a higher chance to scratch the Touch Screen easer. So for me, jumping from old NDS to old 3DS Stylus was a huge improvement, on how easy you can slide over the touch screen
i, as an 8 yo kid when the original 3ds was released, did in fact use my stylus half-extended. as my hands grew larger i kept extending it more and more. I distinctly remember the day when i started using it fully extended for the first time. I get it, it's weird, but it's a niche memory that i like to have
It shows your growing sweet story
I lost that stylus in my dads car to never find it again, but I also sold the 3ds so I don’t care, but I had to use some other telescopic stylus that was for some reason the same size as the 3ds stylus, but was to round to fit in it
Ive lost both my stylus for my wii u and my dsi and i hate myself

I remember having one and I used it so much, it started rusting and the extending part just fell out one day
"Hello little stylus!"

Nintendo using the telescoping stylus as a selling point when it's only there because of the og 3ds' jam packed internals will always be funny to me
The New 3DS line could use telescoping styluses... Wish they'd brought that back.
Telescopic is the way to go, whenever I lose stylus' and need to buy replacements I make sure they're based off the original 3ds Telescope stylus
COSMIZ???

man i wish my 3ds had that type of stylus

4:00 I wasn't entirely convinced how good this stylus was but then you drew a cute turtle so now I'm convinced :D
3:36 It's funny you say that- there's a WarioWare Gold Microgame based on the inconsistent stylus slots. Probably a favorite weird game.
Yeah he shows it later in the video
The Fountain Pen is SO good that Nintendo was selling them standalone on their website and after finding that out I made sure to snag one. I've been using it ever since and its just so nice
No… they sell them standalone because they wont bundle one with the system💀

It was literally the only stylus I could use for super extended periods of time.
About the New 3DS XL stylus, I had that happen to me too eventually and i just put a bit of tape inside of the spot the stylus goes in and it made it way more snug, it doesnt really pop out anymore as a result.
The best type of stylus is actually the random one you get given when buying a second hands 3ds online, that does not fit into the slot, meaning you have to use a rubber band so you don't lose it (very informative video, turns out I have a 2ds stylus)
The funny thing is: the Video is about how big and long the Stylus are (that what she said)
But for me: i was always thinking about, how well you can "write" with it, without feeling writing on "rubber" or if the tip of the stylus has a higher chance to scratch the Touch Screen easer.
So for me, jumping from old NDS to old 3DS Stylus was a huge improvement, on how easy you can slide over the touch screen
i used to use the new 3ds stylus to dig the earwax out my ears
i didn't see this coming
