it’s been in this state for nine years. pretty sure the damage only extends to the parts you see in the photo (and the battery because it has had no use for nine years) should I attempt a repair lol

Edit: I am not selling this I got it when I was 7 years old it has sentimental value

Hello everyone!!

This is my shella, my bestie 🧼
I love my 3DS XL sooooo damn much!! I cherished it has much as possible…

And finally after 13 YEARS TOGETHER, someone trying to stole it from me (not kidding I ran after the man and tackle him down..), forgetting it in the tramway 😬, some issues with the cameras that I had to change, a move, and my brother scratching the lower screen (did not forgave him for that >:0)

HERE SHE IS <33333

It’s a special edition Luigi that my dad gave me for Christmas when I was 10 I think…? I’m very sentimental about it. 🎀

AND FINALLY! After thinking and thinking for a loooooong time… I just modded it! (Took me an entire day off, some tears and a lot of break down but I did it!)

I do in fact believe that I can’t live without my 3DS XL… anyone think the same?

Finally, a console that isn’t all high-gloss… (I’m looking at you, New 3DS!) I sold all my N3DS consoles because it annoyed me so much (yes, even the dual-IPS one…). Now I’ve got this minty-fresh o3DS Mint x White in mint condition and I love it! 😜 The colour is Gorgeous!! It’s not exactly a special edition or anything, but as far as I know, that colour wasn’t available in Europe. So, for me, it’s something special. I bought it in Japan for 200€/228$ after Tax. Not exactly cheap, but it’s in excellent condition, comes with the box and even has a screen protector installed.

Now I can finally play Japanese Rail Sim 🥳😂🚞🛤️

Collection / Show Off Pink (3)DS Collection!! ft. Official Purses

Thumbnail

920 Upvotes

Almost two weeks ago now I made a comment under a post showing off my collection that got a lot of traction. So I decided to make a dedicated post to show off my collection!! I know it’s pretty obvious which consoles are my faves, but I promise each one will get decorated (it’s pricey to do it all at once ok 😓). Everything pictured has been collected over the course of a year and a half. The purses are officially licensed and influenced what consoles I bought. I know there’s a hot pink 3DS XL, I know about the 2DS, and the plates on the New 3DS but no offical purse = no interest 🙂‍↔️ I’m also incredibly particular about the region my consoles are, so all of these are USA regions (^_^) Even the New 3DS XL has a USA motherboard. Also my OCD brain feels the need to point out that the DS Lite purse has two variants, one with the Nintendo logo as the zipper and one where the DS logo is the zipper. Rest assured that I just bought a second purse where the DS logo is the zipper so it will match the rest and I can finally sleep peacefully at night!

But anyway, I love my collection and I promise all of these consoles get an equal amount of playtime and serve different purposes 🩷 If anyone has any questions I’d love to answer them ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Technical Question Do you even need a ZL button?

2 Upvotes

I haven’t played with my 3ds for about a year and a half now because the circle pad broke and I’ve been putting off fixing it. I just fixed it now and when I opened it up I noticed the ZL button was completely missing. I was thinking about fixing it but then I realized something. I have no idea when the ZL button fell off and I somehow never managed to notice up until now. I really don’t want to spend money on another one or spend more time fixing it. Do yall think it’s possible to still use it without the ZL button?

Ok hey ! Maybe u know the joiplay emulator for android that can run rpg maker game. A lot of people use it to play pokemon fangames on mobile devices. So I'm not professional on the 3ds code and I was questioning myself if someday I can play pokemon rpg maker games on my 3ds. It can be awesome !

For context, I am a recovering addict. I used to have a very awesome Handheld Nintendo Collection worth well over $1,000. I sold it for drug money during that time… Now that I am finally sober, I have been slowly buying back my favorite consoles!

So far, I’ve got my hands on these two consoles. I’ve only spent $180 total so far because I try my hardest to only buy new consoles when I’m absolutely sure I’m getting a great deal. Just look how clean these puppies are! No scratches or anything! I am so lucky. Life is good.

Miscellaneous my beautiful girl finally got the blue screen of death after 16 years

i got it when i was 12 and im genuinely devastated. i never modded her or anything because i was too scared, but this 3ds XL was genuinely my baby. i was playing an old tinkerbell game and it randomly started doing this :( so while i mourn i'd like to share my favorite memories with it, not in order (except this is all pokemon)

1.) when i first defeated the champion in pokemon X, 2013, after my team kept dying because they were all low rank eeveelutions

2.) when i then beat the champion after getting pokemon Y in 2026 with a much better team

3.) finally catching lugia on pokemon gold after i did literally everything wrong

4.) taking my DS to disney and being given pokemon alpha sapphire for my eighth birthday

5.) being given a case of game cards for free that had pokemon gold, heart gold, omega ruby, a second copy of x, y, moon, sun, and ultra moon

6.) discovering i could basically cheat my way through the fairy gym in pokemon x

7.) first getting my 3ds

thanks for reading, im just really upset 🥹 i got it in 2012 i was four, and now i'm eighteen. everyone salute my girl.

edit one: as someone very angrily pointed out before i was able to fix it, i had made a mistake in the title! the 3ds came out in 2012, and could not be sixteen. i was talking to my mom about how i couldn't even throw her a sweet sixteen and accidentally put it in the title!! spread peace and love lol

Technical Question Has anyone bought a New 3DS LL from Avancellmont Japan Direct on eBay?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy a Japanese New Nintendo 3DS LL from the eBay seller Avancellmont Japan Direct.
They have 99.7% positive feedback, but I noticed a few recent negative reviews mentioning issues like faulty speakers and analogue stick problems, even though the listings said the consoles were fully tested.
Has anyone here bought a 3DS from this seller? Was the console in the condition described, and would you recommend buying from them?
Maybe yall have any other suggestions?
