[@JoseRomero-jd2hk]

​​@@toetickler4500 I would like this comment to reach many people and give my opinion. I pretendo it's great, but you have to think that it is no longer the same as before even if we use it; We are not sad because the online has closed, we are sad, nostalgic and melancholic because we miss the time in which the 3DS was our absolute comfort zone, our childhood, adolescence, on Sundays playing animal crossing new leaf without worries, the times past... We miss having 2 games a year for our birthday and Christmas, making the most of what we had and having fun, meeting kids like us at that time through Miiverse, or going to the ACNL island and seeing that the people on their id they have "I sell delicious fruit" instead of his Instagram username. That's what we miss when we remember 3ds and its online, neither Pretendo nor anyone else is going to return all that even if they return the online (which is a very positive thing, but sometimes you have to move on). Thanks for getting this far to whoever has read me :)

SupaIsaiah016 I simply think it’s just trying to send the message that it’s incomplete. People have hacked the thing in its factory state and saw how barebones the thing is before the initial setup gets done. It makes sense why it’s just the settings music but it’s just one track. Have you considered why it has to connect to the internet before a format? It deletes EVERYTHING and replaces it with the barebones. Perhaps I’m just reading into this too much, but that’s what I think it is.

2011. I’m at school and see everyone sitting around one classmate of mine, I go see what the fuss is about and I see she has a brand new 3DS and is playing nintendogs on it. I was freaking out. Begged my parents to get it ever since and they got me a pink one for my birthday that same year (hated the color at the time, I wanted the blue one but they were out of stock, then later I changed my mind. I love it) I’d play mario, nintendogs, my very first zelda games (ALBW being my first) and watch videos for hours on end on it... on summers, my parents would drop me off on my grandparents’ house up north, bringing my DS and 3DS and hang out with a neighbor of mine. Those days are long gone, my grandparents have passed away now, and I own a switch, but I still play on my 3DS. It’s a little worn out, I’ve lost so many styluses for it, but it still works perfectly. I’ll never sell it. These handhelds are so special to me. They’ve kept me company - and at times were pretty much my only company - for a little more than half my life now, and have so many memories packed in them... it amazes me how old these little wonders are. Sometimes I wish I could go back

[@NightMourningDove]

I remember going to my gmas house for the summer in Tennessee for 2010 2011 & 2012... I was in 5th-7th grade at the time. I get tears of joy & sadness reading this and listening to this music, reliving old memories that I can't stop dreaming about. My health has been getting bad lately and I just want to come back to the times that were so carefree... It's easy to take those days for granted until you realize the time is gone, and it just genuinely rings me from the inside out, my soul, spirit, whatever. My Mom was there for me all the way, and I can't thank her enough for that. I remember when she got a Wii around Sep 2008 while I was in 4th grade and we all played on that, but now we just have tablets, computers and Chromecasts/Apple TV, and I tell you man, it just isn't the same. I miss the era of when we burned CDs and got physical copies of games, and played on controllers together, that's when we were truly happy. Technology being more scarce is what made it niche and interesting, but now it just isn't the same... I hope people come around and demand we return to this era at some point, because people will be more happy when things are more genuine and appreciated, having that child-like imagination that everyone deep down really craves. Good luck to you & everyone else And please... take care of yourself well -Adam

This is a little short story you can read while you listen if youd like. Its April, im on spring break relaxing playing games. When suddenly my mom said she was going to the store, when she arrived home she came into my room with a box. I had no idea what the box could be or whats inside of it, so i opened it. And there it was, a red 3ds. I grabbed the charger and immediately plugged it in, (since they dont come charged). I go to sleep and wake up the next day, i ran as fast as i could to the living room. It was fully charged and ready to be setup, so i turn it on and get started. I had a little bit of trouble at first but but i quickly learned how to do it. I put in the first game for it i ever got, (which was mario 3d land). I played it for hours and hours, and i still occasionally play it today. Some nights me and my cousins would stay over at our grandmas house and play mario kart and mario party together. This system was more to me than just a game, it was a part of my childhood. Thanks for reading if you made it this far, i know my typing needs work but I tried.

I know this is an old comment now but with the Switch Lite having been announced recently and more or less spelling an end to not only the 3DS line but the whole DS paradigm as a whole I couldn't help but get a bit melancholy at the thought of what has been a similarly large part of my childhood as well. I got the 3DS around when it launched and still have my original red model, having never upgraded to any of the subsequent remodels and effectively moving straight on to the Switch at its launch, but I remember even when my Dad bought the first model of the original DS and, a lot like in your story, playing New Super Mario Bros. for what seemed like endless hours between me and him and all the other games I ended up playing for that system around that age. I also remember playing Mario Party DS later on with my cousins whenever I got to see them and all in all I've got a lot of powerful memories surrounding the DS line from that first pink and grey DS phat to my DS Lite, even a DSi when that seemed like a huge leap for me with its online shop and camera features and, of course, eventually my 3DS and being blown away by the 3D capabilities and the AR stuff that comes pre-installed on it despite that gimmick wearing off pretty fast even then. Never really thought I'd get emotional over a line of handheld gaming consoles but hey, here I am doing just that in the KZbin comments section of all places. Thanks for the memories, DS family, those years would have been a whole lot less fun without you.

Since everyone else is telling their story, here’s mine. (Sorry if it’s a novel) The 3DS came out this year, though it came out several months before I just couldn’t get it because I was a kid and my parents didn’t take me out much. It was my 12th birthday, and at the time was the worst birthday of my life. I woke up sick with a stomach bug and couldn’t go to school. I was really looking forward to it too because at my school some of the teachers would give out candy or treats and stuff to you on your birthday, and school was the only time I got to see my friends ever. Not to mention me feeling physically ill on top of it wasn’t making it any better. I figured I might aswell make the most of this and play video games all day on my birthday. But an hour after the school bus had left my houses power went off. It was a whole block type of thing. So I was upset, bored and on top of it, couldn’t fall asleep. So I spent the majority of my birthday in as much agony as a pretty well off new 12 year old could be in. At around the time school would end my aunt came by to check up on me since both of my parents were working late. And at that time I was feeling a lot better. She offered to take me to Applebees which for a small town in the middle of nowhere was a great thing. And while we were sitting there I asked her if we could go to the GameStop that was nearby. Now for a kid I was f*cling amazing at saving money. Mostly for the fact that I never got out much but still. I had saved up around 250 bucks, which I knew was the price of the 3DS I had wanted for forever now. A DS that could play games in 3D! She offered to take me because it was my birthday and we went and I had just barely not enough for the system. I was so upset but my aunt offered to cover the 20 or so dollars that I was missing and I was ecstatic. I remember sitting at my aunts house, waiting for my parents to come and pick me up. Charging it up at the wall just playing face invaders and making miis, since the only DS game I thought to bring with me was Plants Vs Zombies for DS. That 3DS was my longest lived console and lasted up until 2019 with constantly playing Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing and more. And though it started as to my little new 12 year old self as the worst birthday ever. I now see it as one of my best. 😊

Here is my story: In 2014, I got the flame red original 3ds. I then impatiently setup my 3ds with New Super Mario Bros. 2 and listened to the home menu music for 5 minutes. I thought there wasn't any battery limit on the 3ds (Stupid me, every device or computer have a battery) Around that time is where I board a plane to china and played on there for 5 hours for the flight, but then, as we were boarding off the plane, my 3ds then died in the 8th hour. I had a charger port, but the charger ports in china are completely different than the ones i use at home. After a few days, we went back to the plane to board home, around this point, i stopped caring about the 3ds. Until when 7th grade comes around (2016 - 2017) I was in a after school program and it seems that every friday we would play super smash bros on wii (Or wii u). That sparked my 3ds interest again but this time, I wasn't going to be on stock firmware, 11.3 or something. I was going to CFW it. The only problem was i was on 11.3 but around this point, i started to get into it. I then purchased smash bros for my 3ds. And, around late 2017, I successfully softmodded cfwed my 3ds. 3ds approaching the end of its life (2017-2018) I then formatted my 3ds, but my cfw is safe. Around 2018 april, I removed CFW and got it again (this time on 11.6), around the end of may, I accidentally put water in the cartridge slot (Stupid me) and Now, my 3ds is laid to rest. 2018 and Beyond: I got my New Nintendo 2ds xl (I modded that too lol) and I have smash and the save data inside it with a 64 gb card. I am gonna keep it safe this time lol Edit: I Finally got my New 2ds xL and Been Rocking with CFW on 11.8 Edit #2: Wow, so many current events are happening, covid-19, mass shootings, the 2020 elections. I've been keeping my 2ds xl and the switch to distract myself from the real world and it's events. RIP Original 3ds; (2014 - 2018)

Welp, the connection is gone forever. It was on Mario Kart 7 for me. It went black around the end of the race during a Bowser Castle 1 race, and showed the "a communication error has occurred" error. It booted me out, and when I went back in, it said there was a "temporary" communication error, as if the connection would ever come back. I know Pretendo exists, but it will never, ever be the same... I was gifted a blue 2DS with Mario Kart 7 preinstalled when I was maybe 6 or 7. I was gifted it by someone who I cared deeply for, who died the following year. I still keep that DS preserved because of that. I won't ever forget the memories I had on this thing and the Wii U. When that German guy named Charles who helped me get VR in MK7 (Thanks Charile!), my dad giving me little facts about the characters as he watched me play Mario games, all those horribly cringey pictures and sounds I made on the photo and sound studios, when I'd go to my friend's house and keep rewinding the Mario Kart 8 replays despite his wishes, when i accidentally deleted my 100% complete file on Yoshi's Woolly World, when I bricked my 2DS and had to get it fixed by someone which apparently lead to someone getting fired as a result...? ...Ok, maybe some of those weren't the best memories, but they stuck with me and will stick with me probably for life. Also I know half of the things I mentioned can still be done since they aren't online, but the online isn't really the point. The point is the landscape shifted, and Nintendo has moved on in a way that... won't be remembered. Think about it. The 3DS and Wii U both had nice menus with calming tunes in the background. This also goes for the Wii and DS too. Heck, even the button presses made such serenity with their sounds, and the cute, nostalgic animations that would play when you hovered over a game were also a really nice touch. It made me feel... Comfy. Warm inside. The Switch only has little clicks and png's for what game you're playing. No personality whatsoever. My point is, it shows that Nintendo doesn't care, or at the very least is moving on from the Wii esc era, for a more modern feel. A more corporate feel, more like. I know I'm kinda rambling on, but I really had to get this out. I know this was going to happen, and I've prepared myself since January, but god, it still hurts. It would hurt either way. With PS3 games closing their servers , and Xbox 360 closing it's doors, I don't know what to think. I guess after nearly 20 years, the era of personality in video game systems is kind of over. It was bound to happen, and I understand financially why it would be done, but it still hurts. I'm starting to repeat myself now, so I think I'll end here. It's been exactly an hour and a half since my last Mario Kart match, and though I don't really want to admit it, I'm kind of crying still. Making this comment helped though. I guess all I can say anymore is thank you, Nintendo. Thank you spesifically to Mr. Iwata. It's unfortunate your legacy has been left behind in a certain way. I don't really expect anyone to read this, I only did this to get this off my chest, but if you did read this, thanks. I hope you can accept the systems death rather than bawling your eyes out like me right now, lol.

Yep, it's exactly what you said: the soul of gaming has been replaced with corporate greed (and also wokeness).

When everyone stops caring about the things that matter or makes life worth living and all they do is worship money, it's the sign of a dying society.
