Hello everyone, thanks for watching!
•Are you thinking of getting a 3DS?
•Have you ever owned a 3DS?
•What is your favorite 3DS game?
Keep in mind I think every 3DS model has its own benefits! When I recommend the original 3DS over the others I say that because you can find it for super cheap ($20-40) so for a lot of people who just want one to play some of their old favorites that’s a great option.
But again the other models are great! And sometimes you can find the other models for great deals too, the other day I saw a NEW 2DS XL for $50 used.
i still have my Pink 3DS XL when I had my first pay check, nothing will sway me to sell it
I think the 3dsxl is equal as the switch plus its small plus less expensive price 🙂
how many products can you promote in 13 min?
THE ANSWER IS YES!! BUY IT, HOARD GAMES, AND REPLAY IT!
For me its still worth it I've never had a console
I love my snes themed 3ds. Been picking up games NEW, but mostly USED in good condition for cheap. Downloaded sonic games from genesis and gamegear. Sonic 2 for genesis in 3D actually looks pretty sweet.
Thanks for the advice about 3DS cause in my country, they're still selling at launch price, even refurb version that I saw online are still expensive and Im really getting confused in which version I should get. And I really needed one cause they have a software to animate and draw and also play few Transfomers game that are exclusive for DS only.
Your video helps me out, thank you!
Bought a regular 3DS XL for around $100 CDN. Works fine and price wise was decent considering. Look forward to playing the games I've been missing lately
Bought used 3DS but found it too slow, then bought NN2DSXL. Absolutely love it, I play it in turns with my Switch.
Could you recommend a case that houses 2DSXL with a grip? All the ones I see won't fit a grip.
Funny story, but I just got mine from goodwill for $20 with charger, a 2gb SD card included, and a copy of soul silver free. I'm ecstatic that it works and now I officially can play 2 generations of consoles in one. Also ironic, getting this 2 years after the switch came out and the day diet nintendo switch was announced.
No Kirby Planet Robobot :X
i used to have one when i was like 6 or 7 and i played the worst games the best one i played was the suite life of zack and cody video game
I bought a 3DS galaxy edition a couple of years ago and I love its still
CFW 😉
you bought two 3ds devices and sold them? what's wrong with you?
Not worth it, the Switch Lite makes it obsolete (so does Pokemon).
I can't believe the 3ds is 8 years old already, time sure does fly, I remember getting the original model right when it got that price cut in 2011
i like offerup, good for local buying/selling. but a lot of cheap low ballers when you're trying to sell.
I have an original brick 2DS that I got as a gift for Christmas a few years ago (to replace my hand-me-down DS lite) and despite other people’s gripes with its design and graphics (which is understandable although it comes with the territory as a handheld with less powerful hardware than home consoles). All in all I absolutely love it. It was an outlet for me to get into Pokémon and Zelda, and play old DS games! Getting it or any other 3DS/2DS is totally worth it in my eyes.
I can not sell my consoles..I’d rather let them collect dust and buy a newer one. But I like how you recycle the consoles
It will always be worth it
Why do you have to pause with your words every 4 words you speak? You can just talk slower..
So my New 2DS XL's upper screen cracked the other day and the first thing I thought of was to get it fixed, but my curiosity about how the 3D looks got the better of me and I ordered a New 3DS XL from Ebay instead (for only 60 quid!). Can't wait for it to come in the mail.
I used to have the original purple 3ds until the hinge broke… Rip 2012 – 2013 3ds.
what stands are your ds on?
Hopefully they come out with the 4ds soon 😀
OF COURSE I would buy a switch
IF I HAD MONEY
I got a 3DS from goodwill for $5.00. I have had a lot of fun with it so far.
I was also 11 when it came out, and didn’t buy one until like 2 years ago. My brother had one and I was sooooo jealous. My parents wouldn’t get me one because I never played my DSi lol. I felt so accomplished finally buying one, years later.
:3 I’ve been thinking of saving up to get a New 3DS XL: Hyrule Edition for a while and this really sold me on it
currently own ds lite dsi xl new 2ds xl and I love them
Bought a used new 3dsxl, it’s better than my switch. With the eye tracking the 3D is stunning.
Is it okay cause I got my pikachu 2ds XL for £80
idk why i'm watching this. Am not interested in 3ds' but his face looks like he's about to cry any time now.
When switch came out i didnt now what to buy: switch or 3ds
I chose 3ds
What really tops it over for me over the switch is the size. You can put this in your pocket where the switch you can’t.
3ds is sick
Just go myself from eBay
New 3ds Xl
3ds case
Super Mario maker
Pokémon ultra sun
Tomodachi life
All for a nice £80 which isn't even half of the price of a switch
Money well spent
I still have my original black 3ds from launch week but I like to use a purple variant that I have
