Admit it

Kid Icarus Uprising was pure kino I'll say that much.

Literally just played it a couple days ago.
Brought it to a convention and maxed streetpasses 3 days in a row, completed my Zodiac collection in ACNL.
Also the 3D is still great and it's a shame 3D as a whole has died in favor of VR and projection stuff.

I tried the 3D a fair amount but it always gave me a headache. It was neat to look at some things. The resolution is a bit sharper even with it ticked on slightly, but that still gave me a headache.

Its sad thats nintendo is so cheap, low resolution screen, outdate processor.

Etriamnd Odisi

Good hardware but terrible screen. Now a ton of their consoles are abandonware because of shitty TN screens. They should've put IPS in the 2DS, new 3DS at least.

I fucking hate nintendo fucking greedy ass jews. The switch 2 doesn't even have OLED with $80 games and retarded key cart semi digital shit

Chill dude. Why are you acting like I denied that. Has anyone else played the DenpaMen?

I own all 3 games.

3D monster hunter and mgs3 were fucking neat and I'll die on this hill. 3D is great and I want 3d tv screen and VR to be successful

I liked Bravely Default and that's about it.

(I'm a jrpgfag)

oh...

Which one is your favorite? I'm leaning towards 3, but I think if I were to eventually replay 2, I could think it's the best.

I did enjoy the 3DS. I still use it to play GBA, SNES and DS games.

This past week bought a brand new copy of detective Pikachu, dusted my ol' 3ds and been enjoying the game.

Hate what it did to Fire Emblem and Paper Mario

bought

retard

I hacked mine but there is no 3DS games I want to play. The library was really bad. Mostly use it to play GBA and DS games.

Conquest and Engage were worth it.

Games you wish were on 3DS or felt like they were meant to be on 3DS, I’ll start, Sonic Superstars is another one

forgets to type an I

hurr durr retard esl shitskin

I'm whiter than you btw

Final Fantasy Fucking Tactics A3
I'm still mad

the only Persona games are Etrian Odyssey clones

It was almost perfect. A 3DS port of Persona 1 and 2 and 3 would've been great

I remember getting it in 2011. It felt very sovlful but that could be a bit of nostalgia

I've bought a used one from ebay to play tomodachi life, and it is US location but my game is an EU cartridge :(

Just fucking hack it.

is that the thing where they tell you to upload some files with the SD card?
I might try it. Even though I feel like I'll just break it probably

it's so easy even a retard (me) can do it. i even did it twice.

It's foolproof these days. There used to be some risk to it but now it doesn't matter. The only reason to keep it unhacked was for the online features which are all shut down so since they no longer offer a service you might as well hack it anyway.

it takes maybe 15 minutes and the guide is retard-proof

is the RetroBoy youtube channel guide is what I'm looking for?

Nah
I preordered, paid extra, got a bunch of ROMs and had to wait a long time until I could mod it into something decent.
It had one year of good games. The rest is all whatever. Ergonomics were shittier because of the d-pad placement. Battery life was bad. Everything on screen was smeary and antialiased because they had to increase the resolution, but not enough. The upscaling filter for DS games was terrible, and at original res, it needed an XL to be worth using.

Also I say this while considering the DS the best console Nintendo has ever released.

Is the PC collection a good starting point for Etrian Odyssey or should I just hope Citra doesn't hate my AMD card for some reason?

blurry garbage

Even when online wasn't shut down, there was no reason not to hack it. You could just straight up play hacked games online with no risk, Nintendo couldn't tell if your game was pirated or not. The only time people got banned was if they were retarded and got online before the release date. I'll never forget laughing at idiots using online features in Pokemon Moon like two weeks before release and getting hit by a ban wave. I can't fault people for wanting to be safe just in case though.

Yeah, the Switch was a huge step down.

Why is it so fucking expensive? In my cunt you have to pay like $200 for a used 3ds. Get real tendies.

I fucking hate handhelds.
Playing on a tiny screen with an uncomfortable controller sucks.
Playing on the go is only viable if you have multiple consecutive hours of sitting around doing nothing like flying, or a long train ride.
And even then it subpar.

That said, Kid Icarus Uprising was fire. Such a shame its stuck on a shitty handeld instead of a proper entertainment system.
Imagine how good the controls would've been with a wiimote and nunchuck.
It's like it was made for that control scheme instead of what it actually had.
And I love stereoscopic 3D.
Best gimmic ever. I had it on at max intensity 100% of the time.

3ds.hacks.guide/get-started.html

Hacking my 3ds was probably the best thing I ever did. I just use it as a emulation machine and it is great. I find it funny that the absolute clown world we live in is so antagonistic towards enjoyment that Nintendo put out an update to try and shut this down.
Megaman Legends 3

I could maybe argue Etrian Odyssey 4 is the best starting point since it's the only game without a lot of modern QOL introduced in the later games, the biggest points being how fast it is to move in the dungeons and combat. Plus EO4 is one of the easiest in the series so it's a good point to ease in even if you don't know too much about the series, whereas EO1-3 can be quite brutal even if you're metagaming, and god help you if you're not. I love all the games, though the combat design in the first 4 games is definitely weaker than the design in the Untold games, 5 and Nexus. Exploration wise, they're all fantastic.

Because it's still in demand. It's still good.

Prices go up when things stop being produced. You should have got one years ago.

able to play amazing games

able to play all the GB, GBC, GBA, NDS, NES, SNES library

of course its an amazing console. And I say this owning both a 3DS and a PS Vita.

I would buy one if they still sold them new to be quite honest.

Native will always be superior to emulation

this. the 3ds library in retrospect was ok and doesnt hold a candle to the og ds library

I loved it so much, I used it until it literally tore down completely

They were cheap as all fuck 5 years ago. You should've been there. Same for games. You guys all missed out

5 years ago

No way, make it 10

these games were kino, especially the first one

I remember being pleasantly surprised when this 10 bucks eshop only game I had very little expectations about ended up being a 15 hour long deceptively challenging full fledged game

Lacking how?

i still use my launch 3ds. the little rubber bit around the joystick wore off though so now i'm rawdoggin it on the black plastic
i stripped a screw like a tard trying to replace it oops

Switch Fire Emblem doubled down on the self-insert but removed the other pairings

Thanks worst of everything. I want to play matchmaker

The 3DS has the smallest library of good games of any Nintendo handheld.
But the good games are also long as fuck so I dunno what to make of that.

the little rubber bit around the joystick wore off though so now i'm rawdoggin it on the black plastic

That happened to two of my XL models and is happening to the third as well. The first time it happened I attempted to fix it with superglue but that only stalled it for another couple of weeks before it came off again.

There's better ways to play SNES, Gen, GBA but I still find it comfier to play them on my 3DS

Citra hates my AMD card, SMT:SJ Redux is barely playable due to fps drops
It was stable 60 with my old GTX card

I wish they were actually good EO games.

I'm playing SMT4 on it right now actually

Doesn't matter because you can play literally every Nintendo handheld on the 3DS. A majority of it natively too

Atlus and Chunsoft really did a lot of the DS and 3DS.

The PC version fixes a bunch of bugs and back ports QoL features from EO5. Absolutely the best way to play them. Only mod you need is the font fix.

killed their series

Brothership, Three Houses, and Pikmin 4 were all good

That butterfly field in full 3D. Jesus! I believe this is the only game that went hard on the 3D.

I still have my old one but what's the best way to emulate DS and 3ds games now? Games like TWEWY are probably borderline impossible to emulate because they used the unique features inherent to the DS.

I prefer native, especially for GB and GBA.

Name five 8+/10 games on the 3DS.

OG is better but you can play it with a tablet and mic.

it was a better console than the switch yeah

Any chinkhelds getting close to DS emulation? There's been some attempts so far but they tend to be expensive as fuck iirc. Also, anyone pick up one of the chinkhelds for GBA and other shit? How do you like it?

There's a shitton of chinkhelds which can emulate DS well on the performance front, it's just the screen gimmicks which don't work well.
As for GBA, I love the RG34XX. It's damn near perfect.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2 3D
Kirby Planet Robobot
Monster Hunter 4U
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
The Denpa Men 3
Also Demon's Crest is a Snes game but it was sold on the E-shop so I'm counting it as bonus game because Demon's Crest is bad ass.

We need to go back to clamshells and stylus pens.

The Denpa Men 3

Why would you lie like that?
Kid Icarus Uprising
Fire Emblem Awakening
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon (seriously)
Codename Steam
SMT4

Switch Lite should have been a clamshell. The Retroid Flip 2 form factor is almost perfect.

Test

no, it makes pirating games later on a huge pain in the ass. I coast by on pirating 5-10 year old games while paying nothing and the occasional actual quality new release.

Youkai Watch 3
TLoZ: A Link Between World
Fantasy Life
Crimson Shroud
Etrian Odyssey 4

I want exclusive games to take advantage of the unique hardware, it's pointless otherwise.

no, it makes pirating games later on a huge pain in the ass

I don't see the connection between clamshells a pirating games

What's wrong with the Denpa Men 3?

I do, Anon. I do continue loving 3DS. I also love VR, and enjoy the three dimensions displayed by two screens in my Meta Quest 3.

The touchscreen, built in mic, dual screens etc. make emulating old games a bit of a pain on the DS.

emulating DS and 3DS games

Soulless and the DS at one point was like $40 and an R4 card was like $30. You can't be THAT poor bro c'mon

It was okay

I'm playing the Devil survivor 2 re release right now. Pretty good.

I have a 3ds still, but it ain't gonna work forever.

I've never touched a 3ds. What does it feel like?

zoomers close in on 30

3DS nostalgia starts hitting hard

pottery.

3, but only because of how streetpass heavy they are.

like touching a woman

Huh? What features on the DS aren't available on 3DS? Mingle still worked, no?

Most zoomers aren't closing in on 30. That's late millennials. You shot yourself on the foot

I still see people playing their 3DS' at conventions.

I'm not saying 3ds can't, just in general they're hard features to replicate.

It was definitely 5 years ago that they were selling the new models dirt cheap

I did it boys : )
It worked!

Nice!

Still

I haven't touched it in like five years and even back then the internal battery was damn near shit only holding a charge for like an hour at a time. Also why the hell would I fix it? It would probably cost more than getting a new one second hand

based
enjoy your upgraded machine man

What all QOL in the 1-3 HD versions would I lose if I played 3 HD and then go to play 4?

The worst part about 4 is how slow you move, once you get used to games with better QOL it's really hard to go back to the default snail pace.

What, did it not have the ability to hold B to move faster?

That, and also the maximum battle speed is one step lower than games after it. It's still pretty fast for RPG standards but it takes a while to get used to if you're coming from a later game.

I wanna play mine but the A button has to be pressed hard and I'm not keen on taking it apart

Got that from the old nintendo rewards program. rip
This guy's series was also great.

I only played both Devil survivor games on the DS. Never did try the 3ds re-releases. Heard they added content. Should probably give it a check. Maybe the radiant historia 3ds version too.

Name five 6+/10 games on the Wii lmao.
Not even saying the 3ds is the vest console ever but many consoles wish to have the 3ds library.

hollow knight and ritual of the night
metroid vanias are meant to have their maps open 24/7

this

I can't get the fucking perfect
I'm at like over 300 tries by this point

did my picture capture your attention? good, now that we are on the topic of 3ds hacking
STOP FUCKING DDOSING THEME PLAZA I WANNA DOWNLOAD NEW THEMES
its not just 3ds theme plaza, even vita's fanmade theme repo is being ddosed and slow as shit

theme plaza

heheh I got this splash screen from there. still makes me chuckle every time I boot up my system.
also cant believe the first nsfw post on that website is shadman's pokemon trainers.

this gigachad reporting in with my 3DS. i love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe.

Just bought a flashcart that looks like this.

How bad did I fuck up?
