Never forget Download Play. As a guy I saw on Twitter once said "If one of the homies had Mario Kart, all the boys were eatin"

[@DataHayseed]

I feel like Nintendo purposefully didn't include download play on the switch just so people had to buy the game to play with friends, but then again you can connect 8 controllers to the console, but having extra controllers costs money, so overall, Nintendo is greedy for money

[@jaredmartin8844]

Download Play ftw 😤

[@Jeremy9697]

@@DataHayseed in that aspect I don't think their greedy for making ppl buy their own copies of a game and having a controller to play. Literally like almost every other console game needs more controllers for more to play. It's not like the switch doesn't come with two controllers already. Don't get me wrong Nintendo is def greedy, but not for this reason.

[@EpicKieran]

@@DataHayseed nah also. Games files are bigger now. It currently wouldn’t be possible to have download play like the ds one.

[@realislit8064]

@@DataHayseed itss because its not feasible Download play works by storing all relevant data onto the systems ram (hence some games have limitations because of this limit) gba, ds, and 3ds have very small rams so it was feasible, switch games however does not only have a bigger ram size but most games typically constantly loads in assets

[@spiraldj]

I feel like the 3ds was the last console where Nintendo really cared about the consumers instead of trying to compete with console and pc gaming. Things like download play, street pass, themes, reverse compatibility, virtual consoles, and fun apps, just make it in my opinion the best hand held of all time.

@OkPe-ww5rs if the switch had any of the features I listed above it very well could be the greatest handheld to exist for a while.

[@amsyarzero]

Sorry, but what's StreetPass?

[@Brotatochip6507]

@@amsyarzero Streetpass is a built in social-feature on all 3DS systems that allows two or more 3DS players to exchange game data and some personal info (dogs or cats, your birthday, your hobby, your dream, etc.). What happens when you get a streetpass tag? The mii of the other person shares some info with you and can help you play various games. I.e. in tomodachi life, you can connect with other islands and have other miis camp on your island. In animal crossing, you can visit other peoples’ houses. How to streetpass? Put your 3DS in sleep mode and leave it in your backpack/pocket/purse wherever you go. If you see a flashing green light, you got tagged! Why is StreetPass the most amazing thing ever? People from all over the world can visit your plaza. The “goal” is arguably trying to get tagged by as many people as you can from different parts of the world. Why does the switch need it? I have met and still am really good friends with multiple people from my school a few years ago who used the streetpass feature. Streetpass would have been the perfect way to find out who has a switch nearby, go talk to them, play some games together, and BAM you’re not a loser anymore cause you’ve just made a friend.

I'm thinking of buying a new 2ds because the 3d has lost its appeal to me and the regular 2ds sucks honestly. I am already clumsy and I've dropped my 3ds many times and I think the clamshell design has saved it these past 10 years. The old version of the 2ds is supposed to be a cheaper version I get it but removing the ability to close the system to preserve the screen was a really bad decision from Nintendo. Problem is now my 3ds won't charge anymore and since last year they stopped repairs for the old model which I have. I will look and try to find repair shops but since the original system is real old it might be harder now.

Top thing that my 3ds can do that my switch can not: *opens up 3ds clamshell with no screen protector and no scratches on it

[@The_Guy-]

Why isn’t anyone bringing up the fact that the 3ds had cameras while the switch doesn’t.

[@dman1848]

If the switch 2 came out in a 3ds form factor I think people will be happy with it

[@charliemayfilms1550]

Also street pass, themes extensive log,step counter, dedicated mii maker, a LOT of things

[@CoolModderJaydonX]

To be fair, I always saw the Switch Online games as bonuses.

[@JananYeYe]

switch also have a browser but to access it you have to change dns

[@WereJustCephalopods]

The 3DS is so much more expressive with its 3D logos the switch is just a flat 2D screen with not a lot of Nintendo love. This makes me miss Reggie ;(

[@millyawns]

What's really funny is these are all things you can do with a modded Switch. Yes, even DS games and custom themes are supported.

[@birdcraft2287]

I feel bad for the Nintendo Switch, cuz Nintendo Switch is the new console, new games, wrist strap, joy-con grips, dock, pro controller, controller connection to connect just a Nintendo Switch controllers like joy-cons and pro controller and more.

[@ADC2009]

not to mention the 3DS has an entire original soundtrack in the UI while the switch has no music

[@MatthewBill2]

The switch doesn’t have a obvious web browser because they don’t want modding

[@Footballgod55andGTAGplayer]

There is a dns setting to get a web browser on the switch

[@Hundura]

You can do all that and more on a hacked switch

[@RedneckGator]

I'll never understand why we didn't get another DS instead of a switch. The DS truly is the best handheld of all time and not only is comfortable but actually functions as a handheld i mean you can put your ds away in your pocket/purse or whatever but the switch is to bulky to do anything with and it doesn't even have half the features of a DS.. Man we got robbed

[@xervantezxvi5022]

I regret of selling my old 3ds XL but I’m glad I found one at my store and I’m happy to get one in 2023 it is hard to find them now this days and I miss playing my old Nintendo games and it looks so good in 3D I wish my Nintendo Switch can play games in 3D which I love and miss We need a NINTENDO SWITCH in 3D honestly

[@-JCB-]

The same tech used to make the 3ds screen 3d is also in the queue for the Mario Kart ride in universal

[@gwmm1234]

You can actually access the internet on a switch by changing your primary DNS or something like that

[@Nenemon]

The 3DS actually has menu and Home Screen music that adds some warmth and atmosphere to the experience , the Switch doesn’t 😢

[@thatrainbowguy]

to the people saying that the switch has a browser. it isnt an official browser. thats like saying that the 3ds has builtin homebrew.

[@cyschan]

number 6: everything

[@pacmanfuzbearstoodioz2646]

the switch does have an secret internet browser.

[@kevinbejkoxdxd1514]

I didn’t even download the games because I was too young to understand back when I first got it and now I found my 3ds again because I lost it for 3 years, and now the systems on it are discontinued which makes this so sad.

[@rafaelgutierrez6275]

Here's a tip: Hack your 3DS

You know what the 3ds also has no working internet

[@tseyksuli4541]

About Internet browser, that is where you are wrong. Nintendo switch does sort off have one but it is hidden and not accessible in a easy way. You have to put some DNS IP on it and do something more and that will bring up a web browser type and let you browse the Internet on the Nintendo switch.

[@tonio5084]

Themes and pins are a huge difference that I think the Switch should compensate for and get

[@mycreations4527]

You forgot the cameras! And the audio recorder!! Switch definitely doesn’t have that

[@lahiriespinosa8813]

Don't even get me started on Homebrew

[@Scrautchnus-gw7my]

You forgot the camera

[@Anas-Real491]

The switch DOES have internet browsing but its a bit complicated

[@grillion_]

Nintendo Hides the browser.

[@miguelcrafter2997]

The switch e-shop kinda is a webbrowser

[@zokiamv]

The 3DS has Netflix, the Switch does not 💀
