Never could really like this phone. No S-pen, rounded corners. Looks like an updated S9+. I'd rather square corners, very minimum curve or flat screen.
Pirating games on the 3ds is fine Nintendo themselves completely abandoned it now, and dont sell anything first hand. If you are buying a 3ds or games, youre getting them from ebay for marked up prices youre not stealing from Nintendo. Nintendo & devs dont make money from that, also Nintendo removed the only way you can buy games legally through them which was the eshop. Its no different than downloading an SNES rom of Earthbound vs buying one on Ebay for a insane amounts. the company doesnt even sell them anymore
I actually like the way the 2ds XL looks like. I like the black and blue colors. I bought one on clearance at Walmart for like $80 years ago and I barely touched it for years. I finally got around to playing on it again and I fell in love years later! I have big hands so it got uncomfortable so I got a grip case and it's amazing! It's a shame the prices have gone up like that. 😬
Bought my 2ds xl for € 89,- in 2018 and still very happy with it ! Glad I always buy my games psychical. Same goes for the switch all nintendo titles i have , I have the cartridges. Only titles like witcher as digital content
Pirating 3ds games is leagle via modding your system cause Nintendo provides no way to buy the games in a way that will support them and they've done nothing to show that they don't like it
2ds xl is awsome man XD modded it can play anything but i mainly use as a dragon quest machine XD. its lighter then 3ds xl. but i also got it pre boom. i bought mine refurbished in perfect condition then a year later the price was atleast 2x
After 12 years of resisting, I finally purchase a preowned PS Vita OLED 1000 right in Akihabara Tokyo Japan as my memorable prized trophy buy! Awesome device I feel it can still holds these days.
If you were ever wanting to get a 3DS system, out of any system to avoid the 2DS XL is up there at number 1, not only is the system some how more uncomfortable to hold over every other 3DS system, but it feels super cheap, and flimsy when using it, the hinges on the sides are really loose, and while that may be to the systems benefit since it won't be gaining to much strain on the hinges by doing this, it makes it super jiggly when playing and doesn't make the system feel solid, also this system was notorious for get the screen smudge and even in some cases cracked if you put a minor amount of pressure for a period of time, this js in part due to Nintendo thinking it was a good idea to decrease the width and thickness of the screen, because the screen is a lot closer to the shell of the system it now has this added problem where it can be super fragile if breathed on wrong
I love my 3DS, but I wouldn't buy a new one nowadays. The prices I've seen for some of them are literally the price I paid for both my system AND the capture card mod it has. Only real issue is that there's not really a cool handheld emulation system with 2 screens, that's the main reason I'll be holding on to mine. The games don't feel the same without it.
Yeah, I tried to do a bit of research, but it is still emulation, which might bring some problems. However I feel like it is still a better option if someone is looking in to playing games other than DS games
@@ilya_played Despite owning a good amount of the Nintendo consoles, I use my steam deck to emulate literally everything else as I had how much space having multiple devices takes up. So far it hasn't really impacted my experience, through things like parsec and net play you can even run multiplayer on emulators.
The design labs doesn't allow you to customize the rubber grips and all of the core editions, red, blue and white come with black rubber grips. Do you actually mean rubber grips or something else. If you have it in red I want to see it
@@christopherbassit2757 oooh okay, got it ! The thumb sticks do come in different colors, that's true. If you still want to share you can tag me on twitter/x
i realise when i can mod my ps vita is great but there some thing to consider. the psp games are nicee and play at 100% but there other non official retro handheld that play them at better resolution whit like 3x more pixel and it sharper image. now some of ps1 game are outdate like FF series that are upgrade exp ff9 on android got better visual and improvement on the games. but ps vita is great if you want to play ps vita games that did not come to the west. whit the mod i can repatch and play it in english. exp trails series and other jrpg
That is a big discussion that a lot of people have. On one hand someone wants to have an all rounder console to play everything, some people want to have that "authentic" experience. I do play some games on my android phone and they run great, but sometimes I want to play on the Vita. The emulation handhelds are good for some people. It is a hard question
I got my New (generation) 3ds non LL from Japan with mario bros for ds lite. It was like $115 usd after taxes and important. I eventually removed region lock. Importing older consoles can make more sense if you can find the right deal.
Just bought my first DS in the New 2DS XL. It’s smaller for my hands, has the same process, is backwards compatible with the DS games and NO 3D! I’ve never been a fan of 3D period and spending extra 100 for a bulkier, 3D effect that ik I won’t use is pointless. I owned a DS a long time ago but it broke and I walked away from Nintendo till 2018 and bought a Switch because at the time of the DS all my friends weren’t playing Mario, Smash, Zelda, Mario Party and Metroid. I don’t regret buying a New 2DS XL in late 2023 because I missed out on a lot of games and it’s hard to enjoy Nintendo when they treat their older franchises like crap on newer devices which leads to piracy which I am against but it’s hard not to now a days.
I do understand your point. Especially if you missed our on some of the nintendo games and want to play them in addition to other things. Hope you enjoy your console !
I was saying average is 2 to 3gb as only a couple of Vita titles go over 3gigs. Yes borderlands was around 5gb with dlcs and PSO2 was even more but 90% of the games on vita don't go over 3gigs
My can play way more systems and games on my phone than the psp vita is out matched all system up to ps3 including wii switch and gamecube.on my desktop all systems up to ps3
thanks for this review, the ones i saw was from 2 years ago and was planning to buy one this week 🩷 really nice to see a review from a perspective of a long-time user, kudos to u!
14:26 How does one dump the contents of a 3DS cartridge without a hacked 3DS though? 🤔 Downloading a ROM is illegal regardless of whether you own a cartridge for that game or not. And if you already have a hacked 3DS to dump carts, what's the point of playing those games on anything else when there is simply no other dual-screen device on the market that can replicate the DS and 3DS experience properly?
Homebrewing 3ds is a blurry thing, I don't think it is illegal. Downloading ROMs is illegal, that's why I'm saying that if you make your own ROM and don't distribute, it might be "less illegal" I'm in no way a lawyer, so don't know the exact laws. The reason why you want to play on other console or a phone is completely up to a person. Probably Ayaneo Flip will be the first device that can emulate DS well enough, but I've seen people with Galaxy Folds emulating 3DS games. At the end, promoting piracy is bad, that's why I did specify this in the video. FYI big N is notorious for copyright striking if pirating is mentioned in the video, so it is a precaution too.
So I went to the retro games store and I saw a Pokémon 3ds XL Pokémon and they were selling it for 350.00 I’m like that’s too much 😔 so I went to Gamestop like an Hour away and I ask this guy if they got any 3ds XL and when he shows and told me he got one I taught it looks dirty and little scratch up outside like maybe 4 scratch and the inside when you open the 3ds it looks totally brand new no scratch on screen top and bottom and when I saw the screen looks smuggled dirty so I was like do I buy it 😂 but the price was 180.00 but I take my chances of getting it and when I got home and clean the screen my 3ds XL looks like a Brand New 3ds XL and I check everything buttons and the Battery 🪫works and I am sooooo Happy that everything works fine
Congrats on the purchase! I'm surprised that Gamestop had a 3ds in stock. Probably someone just traded it in. Nevertheless, if it works and inside looks good, then nothing to worry about! Enjoy it !
I just bought me a old Nintendo 3ds XL in 2023 I wish I didn’t sold my old 3ds XL back in a days I hella miss my old games but I’m happy and I got Lucky to find one at the store and I got to play some of my favorite old time games like Pokémon Ultra sun and moon, Metroid Samus Return, Resident Evil Revelations and Paper Mario and Mario 3d land and Zelda’s games and I love it how this games play in 3D so for me it’s Worth it I don’t care for eshop close as long I play this games 😅 3ds XL or 2Ds XL are very hard to find this anywhere in store
That's Rhinoshield lanyard. It is sold separately from the case and attached to a piece of textile that you insert in case. It is good, but the small metal discolored in a month of use. I'll post a pic on Twitter in a bit !
the 2DS is unironically the better choice 😂. Also get the “new” 3DS if you want improved specs and customizable face-plates or the XL variant for the bigger screen size, not sure why Nintendo thought the 2DS XL was a good idea…
Lol, It is obvious for some, but other people look at it as a console from childhood same way as PS3 which you can get for around 100CAD without thinking too much and in this case it is better to look at emulators or other
That is a hard one, if Vita was loved by Sony and we had more games, it would dominate the market, IMHO. I do like Vita more than switch too, but the age shows on Vita unfortunately
The screen wobble is by design and I can confirm the 3rd xls has it too. Apparently, perfectly tight ones in older original versions were cracking hinges.
