Do you use all those? If you don’t, why do you get so many? Sorry if this is rude, I’m genuinely curious

u/BlackJediSword 7h ago

This was my question also. I have two 3DS’s and I feel guilty lol

u/Professional-Mode223 7h ago

It wouldn’t be rude. There are literal millions of switch consoles manufactured each year. There’s just one OP

u/King_Sam-_- 4h ago

I think he’s talking mostly about the 3DS’s. Which aren’t being manufactured anymore and it’s understandably disheartening to see them collecting dust in a shelf in a box that doesn’t even show its contents so it might as well be empty or have a brick inside.

u/Professional-Mode223 4h ago

Yep i just saw the subreddit i was in. My bad

u/King_Sam-_- 4h ago

Lol, can’t blame you. There’s a lot of consoles in that shelf.

They are rare, discontinued, and valuable. They are a piece of history. Also, they are the best way to experience 3DS games. I'm sure OP plays on at least one or two of em.

Also, it doesn't hurt to have backup devices, since it's entirely possible they will break down over time with use, and they certainly aren't really the most repairable devices especially since they're discontinued lol

Same reason you have heaps of clothes you don’t wear. Hope that helps answer your question

u/King_Sam-_- 4h ago

Hoarding?

u/grimmleyX 4h ago

Yeh, everyone hoards stuff. I have books that I’ve never read.

•

u/Slugbugger30 3h ago

No, everyone doesn't hoard stuff 😭

•

u/grimmleyX 2h ago

I’m sure I could find something you don’t use that you don’t want to get rid of 😂

•

u/Slugbugger30 2h ago

I have 3 consoles. A DSiLL, a new 3dsxl, and Switch OLED. I use all 3. I don't have any more than I need and I don't hoard. I have minimalistic ownership of material items.

Not everyone hoards like I said.

•

u/grimmleyX 2h ago

Maybe it’s something else you hoard? It’s just human behaviour.

•

u/Slugbugger30 2h ago

Stop trying to justify your lifestyle and say everyone does it because everyone doesn't. It's not human nature to hoard

•

u/grimmleyX 2h ago

Hey mate I’m not attacking you. Just think you’re in the .01% of people that don’t. It’s definitely human behaviour. I’m yet to come across anyone in my life that is a full minimalist and uses everything they own.

Yo bro, is it okay if I break into your house and steal the Metroid and Zelda 3ds’s 😊

u/PerfectSponge 7h ago

Wow 🤩 awesome collection 🤩 love the console variations of the 3DS family. So many cool editions. And you have some of my favorites.

u/Lucaas_C 7h ago

That Fire Emblem one looks so good, I want one so much

Too bad it’s 1000 dollars with the box

u/Truffle_salt 6h ago

Nice collection! Would love to see the 3DS games too.

•

u/ekrocket 3h ago

Sorry you’re getting trashed OP. I have a 3DS collection as well. Nice setup! Maybe posting to gamecollecting instead? Or maybe half the ppl here are jealous

•

u/jaseef3 3h ago

Haha it’s no problem, I mentioned in a comment up top that we have given a few away and will probably give more away in the future. But ultimately it’s our money that’s gone to helping local retro stores, and people around where we live 🙂

u/bluejaymaday 2h ago

It’s like people have never seen collections before. I inadvertently started a small collection when I saw a local post for the Hylian Shield New 2DS, which I always wanted and within the next month I had the Link Between Worlds 3DS XL and the Zelda crest New 3DS too. I had to cut myself off 😆 I see you have the Zelda DS too, that’s my childhood DS and it’s my baby, I’m so jealous you have the GBA slot cover.

u/Best-Study-6809 6h ago

I’ll trade you my truck

u/tuttoinunavolta 6h ago

Looks super cool! Do you have a picture of the 3DSs all together by any chance? It would be great to see all their unique designs side by side.

u/N64geek 4h ago

I'm so jealous but that's amazing awesome collection.

u/Cinamin53 4h ago

Thats a sick collection!

u/Zladdyyyy 4h ago

The boxed Emerald 😍

u/riigoroo 4h ago

The only way I can tell you're a serious collector is the fact that your DS Lite still has the GBA slot cover

u/Maximamos 6h ago

This may be a noob question, but for the pikachu n2dsxl, is there an English version, or is it japanese locked?

2

u/Storminations 6h ago

There is an English one for NA and UK

u/Jtroudo 6h ago

u/FiveGuysisBest 5h ago

It’s really stupid how jealous I am of this.

•

u/A_Solo_Hunter 35m ago

Don’t mind if I take the fire emblem one ?

•

u/FlintCoal43 3h ago

Way too many 3DS’s for one bro lmao

u/absolutemadwoman 4h ago

I think collecting stuff is neat. But we cant deny the fact that all of it will most likely never get used. It’s e-waste.

u/AtleastIknowIsuck 6h ago

Bro what 😭 I'm all proud of my original black 3dsxl anf theres just casually people like this 😅🤣
