Whimsu turned into Scott The Woz so gradually I didn't even notice

As an official 3DS owner I can confirm, they did make a lot of colors for it

The unreleased green and orange 3DSes look killer.

6:59 i have the midnight purple, honestly for a classic 3ds it's pretty good looking

PLEASE, bring back the rarity and personal obtuse rating criteria. I loved to hear your opinion on the consoles, and the rareness of said consoles. Even though i do hate the resell market.

The word you're looking for to describe the special edition designs added to pre-existing colours is probably "tampo" (as in tampography, pad printing) as that's what is used on diecast cars (Hot Wheels). Except in the rare case where it literally is a sticker.

I do miss the portable consoles market because now everything is trying to be hybrid.

I love this series is back for an episode

I picked up the Aqua Blue 3DS at launch and it really did look and feel so premium at the time.

Absolutely love this content. I love all your content but this kinda stuff i could listen to all day.

The paint details are called tampographs. They're basically stamped on like... Stamps.

Thank u for making this video.i was looking for it. 🙌

I eagerly await the rest of this series you wonderful being

I still need more of these

Great vid, I grew up playing the 3ds a lot as my primary console when I was a kid

Certified classic Whimsu vid.

Glad to see you're doing more of these but I definitely miss the rating system.

I used to want the Majora's Mask one so bad man

thanks for bringing this series back it was my favorite. please make a rare gizmondo video.

You should make a video for every variation of 3ds (new 3ds, 2ds etc) it would be a long video but id watch it

I knew of Heroes of Ruin. I played the demo online with others, and the full game was released on my birthday that year.

Omg two Knowlege Husk videos in a day yay

I think Cobalt Blue has to be my favorite basic color variant. It looks really good.

Cerulean blue. Cerulean makes me think of a breeze. A gentle breeze.

omg the pool is back

I have a Lavender Pink 3DS and it’s GORGEOUS, love this thing :)

You could throw them into a tier list. That would be a quick way to rank them.

Oh, he's back in the pool! I assume he built a new pool when we sadly lost the pool. I know you've been experimenting with this channel, but I'm glad to see a return (or experiment) to the format that made me originally follow.

8:22 Did... did I hear that right? ORC-arina?! Never heard someone pronounce it like that and I'm laughing my butt off because of it! LOL

6:51 This was actually going to be my first 3ds since it's my favorite color. That was until the Pokemon XY editions came out and went with that instead. I don't regret my decision since that limited edition looks incredible, but a part of me wishes I went with the purple even if it would've had less battery than the XL.

i love the 3DS, same vibe as the reg. DS but just that much more advanced! wish handhelds were that small again

Orkarina of time.

I am totally here for a 3DS variant playlist. Also Lapras.

my brother had midnight purple it did indeed have the gloss

Hope you pull from the Woz and make more videos about the variants of the other members from the 3DS family of consoles

I actually have the monster hunter 3G one, and it was totally by mistake that I got it but it’s awesome, especially after some modding

You missed my favorite 3ds, the red and blue Super Smash Bros 3ds

The cat is back Bring back the scoring please

I remember the stock images of the E3 2010 3DS with the coloured thumbsticks were still used by stores and media outlets well after the 3DS launch. This confused me when I got my 3DS.

I remember spending a lot of time playing with the AR things

Favorite is New Love cause cute girls. Need more consoles with cute girls.

My first 3DS was an Aqua Blue version I got as a birthday gift :)

I didn’t know there was 2 reds of the original 3DS. I thought it was just flame red was the only red

Can't believe we were robbed of orange smh

man that toad 3ds is amazing 8:21 orcarina

Now that the 3DS has been discontinued for years everyone can admit the original 3DS looked the best without people saying "nah, newer one better cuz has new label on it."

I ended up with the blue launch model, but I wish I had gotten the purple one.

Too bad the shoulder buttons had a tendency to break. Also was a little small for my hands, which is awkward, because the new xl is a bit too big.

That original glossy black 3DS can't be beat imo. Felt super premium in the hands.

You should list the prices. It's interesting

I got the aqua blue one!

Probably not in this vid but i had the link between worlds xl and the monster hunter new xl, Nintendo really got fancy with them at the end

I’m not sure if it’s just the exposure of the video, but my launch 3DS (which I still play) is a much darker red than shown.

Bro's making this a five part series on just the 3DS

I attempted to buy all the original 3ds color variations. Now seeing the green and orange one, the collection is not complete.

I want the Gundam 3DS. It’s three times as portable as a regular 3DS.

I will forever cherish my og metalic red 3ds that I used until it just died and a red new3dsxl that I bricked trying to hack it

I really like the original one, especially in white. Which now that I think of it, red buttons and a highlights on a white system could've worked for a 30th anniversary edition to celebrate the Famicom.

I had the blue Luigi’s Mansion one

7:07 so sick

I've got a metalic red! Let's go!

I still have my New 3DS Mario Black. Such a great console.

i won one of the thousand mario 3ds' when i was a kid lol. i regret my mum chucking out the box and me not taking care of the console. it works fine but it has the usual marks from aging and i used it a lot 😂

In regards to the glossy finishes being prone to finger prints, I don't really feel like that's a big issue? I checked my metallic red example and the finger prints are barely visible, maybe even because of the flake effect.

New Nintendo 3DS XL Advance lite

Ahh, no XL (or "New"). I still use my A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL, sad it's not a "New" one, but that gold on top, black on bottom and triforces on each side are too appealing to me to change it out.

3DS has my favourite console design. They just look (and feel) good. They feel solid and quaint. I wish it wasnt stuck with a bunch of abandoned software, it makes it a bit depressing to use. You are just stuck with non-functional apps on your home screen.

breaking out my Nintendo 3DS ar cards rn

but i miss the nonsensical scores 🥺

My favorite variants are the New 2DS ones. They're all, like, textured? The Dragon Quest Slime and Minecraft Creeper live in my brain rent-free. Looking again, there are also amazing ones based on the Pokeball, Hylian Shield, and Animal Crossing. To be honest, the Animal Crossing New 2DS might be the best-looking video game system that I've ever seen (especially since the Animal Crossing 3DS XL is so ugly. It's like a pop tart, lol)... Also this model was first released in late 2017 and all of the special colors were probably released around 2018, so it was basically Nintendo's hedge for if the Switch flopped. The 3DS in 2017-2019 was an interesting console. Games like Fire Emblem Warriors, Sushi Striker, and Captain Toad simultaneously came out on Switch and 3DS. There were also some simply top notch releases in that era, including Metroid: Samus Returns and Fire Emblem Echoes. Plus, around then, we had the long-awaited arrival of SNES and Pokemon on virtual console. If you were still playing 3DS in 2018, it was arguably some of the best years that the console ever had? Weird...

6:55 as a eurpopeen coloector I can say this is definetly NOT true xD most of the time its a america/japan release but no pal one.

i miss the old format tbh

white fire emblem fates n3dsxl supremacy

Whimsu you can’t just mention the NFL Sunday night football console and not explain any further

Where godsilla

When you know whimsu held on to this for months for that sponsorship when he said he lost the pool assets forever ago 😭

You making a video about everything but the 2024 predictions. Make a 2024 predictions video bro.

I just wanna say that im upset that you stopped showing the prices. Its not gonna help contribute to the rising cost, its just gonna show more people cool consoles that they still cant get lol Please show the prices next time!

No review scores :(

I care about The Fire Emblem AR cards, Whimmy. I care.

Boo bring back the scoring

Do enjoy these videos, but I must admit I miss the parts where you gave your personal opinions on them. I understand that grading everyone becomes annoying, but even a simple "this one is good because of x" or "not a fan of this because of y". Brakes up the video and makes it feel less like a list just being read.

Rarest 3ds: purple

Dino Nuggie

Egg

Im colour blind

Is this some form of “whitewashing” history by describing the thumbstick as anything other than light gray?

Weee
