As the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops are on a countdown timer to their end, I decided to track down and buy another New 3DS XL. Here’s why.

11.07.2022I really hope that the Switch 2 has a second screen. I can do without it being 3D, but the second screen is really nice. My dream Switch 2 would be a dual screened system that casts to the TV screen like a chrome cast does (except without the need for wifi) instead of having to dock for big screen play. This would allow for games like Nintendo Land to make a comeback and for the DS, DSi, 3DS, N3DS, and WiiU games to all get their second life as well.

11.07.2022In 2021 I added 2 ds's to my collection (lavender new 2dsxl and pearl white new 3dsxl). Recently beat Fire Emblem Awakening, TLoZ A Link Between Worlds, and The World Ends With You. The 3/DS has so many amazing games worth experiencing and with hacking it being so easy, getting access to those games is a youtube tutorial away (though if you want to hack your ds I would highly recommend the step by step website guide).

11.07.2022The IPS is nice for sure but the amount of buyers that are rabid for it is comical. I have both and some of my tn screens are better for use because of the cooler color on that specific screen being brighter. Some of my IPS are dimmer than you’d want.

11.07.2022I didnt knew about the different screen types, and to my surprise I realized that I have a double ips screen new 3ds xl, and I bought it used back in 2017-18… I am quite surprised cause I bought it for less than half the retail price at the time

11.07.20223ds has a massive issue. Digital purchases are tied to hardware not Nintendo network id. So in oder to transfer digital puchases from one 3ds to another, you need two working 3ds. If your main 3ds is broken and you want to continue to play your digital games in another 3ds you cannot do that. I think Nintendo service were doing that transfer but since they are not repairing 3ds consoles anymore, I highly doubt that they will do it.

11.07.2022I loved the 3Ds, I’ve had mine for 9 years but unfortunately it finally broke, it still works but I don’t want to use it until I can figure a way to either fix it or just get a new one

11.07.2022You dont need a reason to buy another

11.07.2022All of these games will be available in the future via digital means.

11.07.20222DS is much better than 3ds.

10.07.2022If you guys want the 3ds to don't be overpriced, don't buy them until prices goes down because of low demand.

10.07.2022I would like to play DS games including 3DS on my Nintendo Switch like a virtual handheld console, where you play the games on handheld mode on vertical orientation. Maybe for a Nintendo Switch 2, the fact that all those DS games are going to die due to their two screen feature is the perfect moment for a Nintendo Switch to save this museum of handheld games.

10.07.2022luckily hacking one is easy and you can use it to play the entire library aswell as some n64 and ps1 games

10.07.2022Luckily a few months ago they had a big sale on all the Ace Attorney games on the 3DS eshop and I bought them all! Really wish the Professor Layton games would go on sale too.
AaronTheWhiz
10.07.2022Well done video, but now that I know this information that means I'll never be satisfied until I have an IPS one 🙁
Anthony
10.07.2022grabbed a used xl at start of pandemic for like 60 bucks i think ive used it more then my switch lol
Marisa Clardy
10.07.2022Hey! Fwiw: my 2ds XL has 2 IPS panels (I just checked it because of this video, and there is perfect viewing angles, no washing out). I dunno if it's the "new" 2ds XL, or not, but I DO KNOW it's a 2ds XL 😅
Aran Leite
10.07.2022A disclaimer that needs to be made, purchases on the 3DS family are tied to that specific device, not your account. So if your device breaks somehow, you'll lose all those games.
Gentleman_Patrick
10.07.2022Been using the same New 3DS XL since high school never knew there was a difference but glad to know mine is IPS lol
Niq Gal
09.07.2022So happy to have the Metroid-themed New XL! It's top IPS and bottom TN, which I am okay with — I just don't want dual TN.
Strasky SAAA
09.07.2022i have 2 new 3ds models, a white one and a black one. i used them both to shiny hunt and side by side it feels kinda weird having my white one being double TN and my black one being double IPS. the differense in screen quality is just noticeable enough to trigger me. its not too bad but i do know what 3ds im picking when im using just 1 to play games. im sorry to say my newly bought black new 3ds is replacing my white one that i had for years.
Strasky SAAA
09.07.2022i like customisation so i picked the regular new 3ds model
Musashi234
09.07.2022As a reminder because he didn't mention it. If you go on this Journey to find a 3DS with both IPS Panels….I hope you are ready to shell out some cash cuuuuuuz they're not cheap at all. TN Panel 3DS' are going to be more reasonable but also expensive since the 3DS market is going up in Price.

09.07.2022sadly the ds family is going out like the Wii but I hope we are able to set the severs back up with homebrew like with the wii.

09.07.2022Without even watching this video I knew exactly what this video was about. This obsession with the elusive IPS screens. I have multiple 3DS’s and one of them has IPS on both screens…. and it barely makes a difference.
Leeartlee
09.07.2022The reason you should only buy the “New” editions of 3DS is that they allow you to emulate a LOT more stuff on it. And if you don’t plan to homebrew your 3DS, you are missing the hell out.

09.07.2022Crimson Shroud looks awesome! First time I hear about it and I've seen so many 3DS videos. The system is epic! Thanks!
Andrew
08.07.2022you drop $500 for that New 3DS Hyrule edition?
Baeleth
08.07.2022Luckily my galaxy edition is both ips

08.07.2022cough homebrew

08.07.2022Rich YouTubers have to stop bying out all the 3DS's, I'm hunting one to get at a reasonable price for months! This is just making the issue worse by reducing the amount of 3DS's on the market and creating higher demand!!! Cmoooon!
shut your face!
08.07.2022Dug out my 2015 launch red new 3ds XL. IPS top panel, TN bottom panel. Pretty happy. Always wondered why the screen looks better than my old original 3ds
werthy is my name
08.07.2022Already own my 3DS . XL & New. That being said. I went and bought me a PS3
12inchguy
08.07.2022thanks for the reminder! need to dl my updates and purchases before it goes dark next march. so glad i bought a few backup 2 & 3dses near the end of their lives when the retailers were clearancing them out. i feel sorry for those just jumping into this gen as so many of these gamers are so priced out of its systems and games now, and there were many
BlueEchoos
08.07.2022Naw. Most used systems in the NA market are pretty bad by default price wise. Packaged poorly, mis handled. Ect. The west clearly just doesn't care about these things nearly as much as the JP crowd.
Shadepariah
08.07.2022The main problem I've ran into with the dual IPS displays is that they are really really dark in some games, and the battery life is noticeably worse. Another reason I love my regular new 3DS with dual TNs. The screens aren't big enough to care about the viewing angles.
Henry Martinez
08.07.2022I want one too
Alex Sin
07.07.2022I'm happy with my ds systems, a new 3ds and a new 2ds with all the pokemon games I can ask for both phisical and digital
Victor Belteton
07.07.2022So what about patches? Are there games that won’t run until you update them?
philip J Dry
07.07.2022The 3ds was a revolutionary leap in technology that is the future of games and future society. In time people will realize this is where games are going, like electric cars in the 60s
RetroFanatic
07.07.20222:24 – Why is the screen better on the left one there? Is that the New 3DS XL?
Drizzt Do’Urden666
07.07.2022People who act weird when someone buys something old & discontinued are d**b,old consoles/handhelds are obviously still playable & let’s be honest back when those consoles were new we didn’t played every game in those system that we wanted(I still have & use my original Xbox & im still buying games for it that I didn’t played back when they were new,I have even bought some in brand new condition still with the plastic from the early 00’s)these are facts.

07.07.2022I have enjoyed the DS and 3DS so much. I'm still buying games for them as I find them.
Brayden Clark
07.07.2022Homebrew. The answer is homebrew
Dark1ey
07.07.2022Bro got a second one and I still can’t get one
Bruce király
07.07.2022None of you cared so much when the 3ds was out. Stick to the switch. Can't even enjoy my old hobby because everyone thinks it's cool now and to many games for it are already 100+
DOTcomm
07.07.2022I love my Zelda 2ds xl. I recently got a new 3dsxl to get 1 step closer to having every Nintendo handheld. I'm only missing the gba micro now.
