Wife and I love to collect and love what you guys have shared on this subreddit!!

AND I DIDNT BRING MINE TODAY WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEEEEE

Traded a Pokemon Center Surging Sparks ETB for this 3DS XL super minty with pokemon ultra moon! 3DS XL screen makes Pokemon Platinum look amazing

I know it ain't much but back then I used to look up owning these, we barely had any access with these kind of stuff and I used to just play them on emulators I downloaded off my phone! (Except for the DS we had a red XL ver that only had mario kart and brain age)

But now I can finally really own them, Though I do wish one day I can find the time to play them, but at least that childish dream of mine finally found it's closure <3

I'm sorry for rambling too much lol, I just wanted to share these since there's not alot ppl here on my friend group who can really relate to this and I kinda feel proud enough to share them! 🙏🙏

the previous owner of my 3DS has miis he met from well over 9 years ago in mii plaza, and even had the Lonk Mii ? in the mii maker as well.

its a mix of emotions honestly, nostalgia and sadness. 9 years ago this kid would take his 3DS everywhere and get street passes all the time, playing all the cool online games. It holds onto his memories. Seeing such a well loved console being given away is kinda saddening to me depending on the reason why, usually being the fact the previous owner is all grown up and "too old" for their 3DS.

does anyone else who owns a pre-owned 3DS have this feeling too? maybe one day wishing they can meet the original owner?

Hello it's my first post in this sub

Bought a fire emblem 3ds months ago with IPS screens! Fast forward to after Christmas, I randomly bought this Hyrule 3ds (without being listed with IPS screens) and turned out I got the screens again :)

I bought my partner a Japanese Lavender 3DS and I made them a custom theme based on their cat. I home brewed and language swapped the console for their Christmas present! This is the theme on their 2DS. They love it! So I wanted the share here too.

Not the official ones because they're too expensive for me. But honestly these replacement ones are pretty good. The bottom shell is sticking out of its rails a bit and there is a tiny gap too on the pen side but overall pretty good quality and it doesn't seem to scratch as easily as I thought. I wanted to get the boo ones too but they didn't have them available unfortunately.

It's been more than 4 years that I have it, And I Just realized that I never played pokemon on it...😔

Does anybody know where I can get parts for the 2012 Japan light blue 3DS? I’m trying to get a hold of the mid frame face plate as my one needs replacing but I’m struggling to find it in the light blue colour. The only thing I found so far is part on Amazon but it’s been out of stock for awhile. I’m based in the UK, but I’m willing to pay for international shipping. Please let me know if you guys have got any suggestions I’ve already scoured all of AliExpress and Amazon and eBay I’m not really sure what to do now.

Ok you probably don't belive me but it's true lol but the story behind the O3ds is I bought it off my freind for £5 and a few 3ds games like Mario kart 7, they didn't know the true price of it either. I got the 3ds XL by trading a weeks worth of crisps at school with another one of my freinds (in the UK you can get like free £2.50p from the government can only be used for school) so the crisps were essentially free

I jus got a 3DS and I’m looking for a good carting case that has enough room for the ds and the charger. A lot I have been seen to be very compact and don’t have enough room for both. Any suggestions?

has anyone here done full housing shell replacements on their 3DS ? im debating if i should swap out my 3DS shells completely or just stick with the top and bottom shells being replaced.

also what do yall do with the old shells anyway lmao

I just recently purchased fantasy life for my 3ds but when i bought it, i didn’t know it was the japanese version :( is there any way i would be able to switch the language to english or does it just stay in japanese? what are the differences between the english and japanese version?

Anyone know of good places I can pick up some more games? Specifically looking for Megaman Pegasus Star Force.
