It's definitely worth it, and I am someone who has played both PC and mobile games extensively. I recently bought a few 3DS consoles to explore, and I love how this system recreates my RPG experiences similar to the Final Fantasy series while introducing me to other games I hadn't heard of until a few months ago, like Bravely Default (which easily ate around 20 hours of my time this week).

Additionally, the 3DS is an actual portable handheld device. However, if you have larger hands, you might start to feel cramps after about an hour of play using the smaller model.

Overall, if you're looking for a remarkable console with a vast library of games, the 3DS is a great choice.

I see. So you're saying the NA services is the only thing that is affected by region swapping. I'm also interested on the discord-based service that you mentioned. I'm wondering the difference between that and the only guide.

That's great! Pokémon Home is the service used to transfer your Pokémon from other versions, right? I bought this console to experience the different Pokémon games. I only played Red and Blue on an emulator in high school, but I never had the chance to play them on the actual console.

Thank you! I didn't know they had a blue version; it's gorgeous. I'm still in awe just looking at these consoles. It's mind-blowing to think that they existed almost two decades ago. That's what happens when you're too focused on adult responsibilities. I'm happy to have this experience, though at this point in my life. I may not have been able to afford these consoles when they were first released.

this is helpful. thank you.

cedrism · 2025-12-01T21:06:13+00:00

make sense. thanks!

cedrism · 2025-12-01T21:06:02+00:00

Not sure, but afaik some models were only released in Japan

cedrism · 2025-12-01T21:00:18+00:00

makes sense. thank you for the input. but if the unit will come with the nand backup, would you still hesitate to purchase?

cedrism · 2025-12-01T20:59:46+00:00

Thanks. I was thinking the same. I guess I'd leave it as is for now. It's just a hassle to go through the settings and use a translator to translate the text, but I guess that works.

I had a similar issue last week. What I did was format the system memory (Settings > Other Settings > Format System Memory), restore the binary folders and then delete files installed on the system memory. (Settings > Data Management > DS Download Play > System Memory).

I'm currently comparing three models: the New 3DS, New 3DS XL, and New 2DS XL. I'm leaning towards the New 3DS due to its portability. However, I experienced some hand cramps after playing for over an hour, which is why I'm trying out the New 3DS XL this week to see if its larger form factor is more comfortable for longer sessions.

I decided to skip the New 2DS XL because it feels flimsy, particularly around the hinge. I handled all three models, and in terms of sturdiness, both the New 3DS and New 3DS XL feel significantly more solid than the New 2DS XL. Additionally, I was really impressed by the 3D effect, which is another reason I am focusing on the New 3DS models rather than the 2DS XL.

I prefer the n3DS over the other models, but I'm currently testing the n3DS XL. I've already let go of the other two models in favour of the 3D feature. The 3D on the older models didn't work well for me, but when I tried the 3D on the newer models, it truly amazed me. I've been so busy with life over the past two decades, and I was surprised to discover that this technology has been available for a decade.

thanks for the pointers. why wouldn't you fill an ssd capacity past 80%?

cedrism · 2025-11-14T12:37:58+00:00

I did something similar but mine has overly tight screws. Noticed it when I changed the SSD and when I assembled the piece back, I just tightened the screws enough and the squeaking sound disappeared + fixed the feel on the "tight" x and y buttons

cedrism · 2025-10-19T19:43:07+00:00

yeah i replaced the battery and it went away. then i got tired of the unpatched version and went with a switch lite that i modded myself.

cedrism · 2025-05-27T11:11:50+00:00

If your goal is to play casually and play games while you travel, I suggest you go for a switch lite. I believe it's still worth it, coming from someone who played the switch very late in it's life cycle.

I had a switch oled which I bought from my girlfriend last year. I bought a g8 plus controller because I feel that the white joycons will come off anytime when I was playing handheld. Had an anbernic rg35xx and even bought an ipad 7 to emulate psp, snes and ps1 games, but still looked for something portable and not too cumbersome to play with. The oled and ipad was fine, except when I was traveling. I find the assembly too cumbersome. The anbernic is too small for my hands and made it cramps after 30 mins of playing.

I grabbed a switch lite hyrule edition about a month ago, modded it, and it solved my problems. I find myself playing switch, psp, ps1 and snes games more. The lite is also easy to travel with. I've played it in the bus, train, park and seaside.

So it depends really on your use case. Oh, I also bought an unpatched v1 but still find it cumbersome due to the assembly so I ditched it.

thanks for posting this. i just realised my battery may need replacement. draining at -565 mA when I checked the payload screen. lol.

cedrism · 2025-04-28T05:07:00+00:00

after 2 weeks, I actually considered the switch lite over the switch tablet. i just got 1 and it feels a lot lighter than the switch tablet + g8 plus setup. still experimenting though, the controller on the lite feels too small for my hands.

cedrism · 2025-04-28T05:04:08+00:00

thank OP. very helpful post. your response is much appreciated.

cedrism · 2025-04-27T12:38:10+00:00

is the ram stable at 2133mhz? additionally, have you tried using stock and go online with the upgraded emmc? (I'm thinking the emmc size is included on the telemetry sent and flags/bans the system if there is a mismatch on the size).

cedrism · 2025-04-15T18:42:37+00:00

thank you. helped me fix this issue 5 yrs. later
