animal crossing 3ds unboxing~! ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡ plus some tips for buying a ds in 2024

[@peachiesophie]

*edit: someone let me know in the comments that buying animal crossing: new leaf with the "welcome amiibo" on the cover DOES have the update pre-installed!! so be sure to purchase that version!*

[@juaceb]

just a note since ive got various copies of acnl: those versions also have the logo changed depending on the version u get -the plain white leaf on the green background is the og -the green leaf on the white background and with some colured sparks around it is the first press of the welcome amiibo update -the plain white leaf WITH A "+" symbol on the center and a green background i believe was one of the latest versions of welcome amiibo both versions of welcome amiibo should be the same but maybe the last one fixes some issues(? idk

[@lizzy1519]

thx !!@@juaceb

[@juaceb]

@@lizzy1519 np!

[@plumdutchess]

​@@juaceb You can just update the game to the latest version.

[@plumdutchess]

Game updates and previous purchases are still available for download. That doesn't change.

It makes me so happy seeing others getting into the 3ds! I always wanted one and was able to splurge on a new 3ds xl when I got my first job and I’ve loved it ever since! I’m glad you were able to snag the animal crossing one! They really made some banger designs to go along with the games! I’ve had my eyes on the link to the past ds for a while!

[@peachiesophie]

i know it's been SO fun playing on it, i've honestly been using it more than my switch lately! 😂 omg the link to the past ds is SO gorgeous, i'm always looking at ebay listings for it haha 😅

[@viciouschrisss]

okay, so i'm like 15 seconds into the video but had to pause to tell you YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY OMG.

[@peachiesophie]

omg thank youuuu 😭😭💕💕

[@IrishSanguyo]

my anxiety today is really bad, not feeling the best about myself and ive been crying the past half an hour but your video is putting a smile on my face thank you

[@peachiesophie]

sending you all of the love and hugs 🥺💕💕 you're amazing and i'm glad you exist! 💕

[@LilytheFaun]

Hey! I wanted to inform that you can actually completely swap your Japan 3DS to America. I have one and I swap it to America, my new leaf that I got after words works perfectly normal and showing none of those Japanese issues, I mainly did this for some of the homebrew apps was in Japanese instead of English and I really didn't like that since this was the first time I was messing with a modded 3DS. Obviously you don't want to do that now since you started that town but it is a option and possible!

[@peachiesophie]

omg that's so good to know!! if you know of any guides that could walk me through what to do, i'd love to know for future reference! 💕💕

[@LilytheFaun]

@@peachiesophie omg I swear I replied to this 2 months ago. I guess youtube decided I wasn't allow to share :( But I shall try again, even if you probably already know by now for anyone who reads the replies at least! the 3Ds hack guide, which is its own website is what I followed for pretty much all my 3Ds homebrewing. They have one for region swapping.

[@SweeteaRex]

The cards that it came with were ar cards that you could point the camera at and they would show cute animations, it was a gimmick they included but never actually did anything with as far as I’m aware:’D but this 3ds is THE 3ds for me, out of all of the designs it’s absolutely the cutest

[@peachiesophie]

oooh that's great to know!! 💕 i knooow this is such a pretty 3ds, its why ive wanted it for so many years haha

[@goffymusiclover]

I’ve wanted this for 8 years I wasn’t even an ac fan back then this ds just looks so so pretty to me it’s literally perfect

[@peachiesophie]

isn't it adorable??

[@CorVids1031]

I'm here for all of us living our hacked 3DS dreams as adults. I've got a lime green Japanese LL that I modded, cased, and decorated with a beetlejuice sticker. Had an original small purple 3DS as a child and this is such an upgrade. Went to a con this weekend and got 0 street passes but maybe someday...

[@peachiesophie]

that sounds so cute!! i know i love buying all the stuff i couldn't have as a kid 🥺 honestly it would be so fun to have an irl ds gamer meetup so we can all street pass! altho idk if it works now that the wifi services are down?? 😳

[@dongiepanda]

Happy belated birthday!!! I have an original 3ds and one day I hope I can get the Animal Crossing 2ds XL, or any new model, because playing on the bigger screens seems so nice. Especially when making custom designs. Most ds games have furigana so while you learn kanji it can be pretty helpful depending on your learning style. I can't wait for gen 5 and 6 remakes those are some of my favourite gens. The repackage does have the update already installed.

[@peachiesophie]

OHH that is so great to know about the repackage!! 🩷 the AC 2ds would be so fun to have, its such a pretty color 😭

[@Gyroeg]

Stumbled upon this video. Belated Happy Birthday!! Should definitely mod that, mine is already modded and coming next week and I’m so hyped. Love this part of the community.

[@peachiesophie]

thank you!! 💕💕 oooh i hope you have fun with your new ds!!

[@tocabophia]

New sub, love your hair and outfit!! Been playing new leaf since 2016ish, love the 3ds with the cute designs

[@peachiesophie]

aww thank you so much! 🥺💕💕

[@anita5328]

The same thing happened to me with my modded japanese new 3ds xl in Animal crossing. All you have to do is get luma locale switcher. It allows you to switch the region and language per game

[@peachiesophie]

ahh that's so good to know, thank you so much!! 💕

[@Cestjosh]

I purchased my AC:NL 3DS XL back at launch and it's by-far one of the most BEAUTIFUL 3DS' I've ever seen. I also have a normal New 3DS with an AC: Happy Home Designer backplate, which is really cute, but it still doesn't come close to the AC:NL 3DS XL. Congrats on your find!

[@peachiesophie]

it truly is soooo gorgeous 😭💕 thank you!!

[@nefertemu]

watching all these videos after ordering the mint 3ds xl sooo excited for it to come

[@peachiesophie]

ahhhh that's such a pretty model!! 😍

[@chloerosey]

god this takes me back to modding my 3ds! healing my inner child one mod at a time 😂😭

[@peachiesophie]

for real 💕💕😭

[@jarrelltf]

This is my first time watching you and I love your vibe so much and also I don’t know if you know this already but the AR cards has an app that you can use on the ds called “AR games” and the “?” card can be used in some games like tomodatchi life :) hope that helps

[@jarrelltf]

Oh yeah also you can also change the region through modding so if you want to change the region you can that’s what I done with my Japanese ds :)

[@peachiesophie]

aww thank you so much! 💕 oooh i'll have to try to use the AR cards sometime!

[@sososleeepy]

I'm glad you know about modding! the japanese 3ds's are so much more affordable and usually in better condition too (apparently na kids don't know how to take care of things lol). I've been wanting this edition as well it's so cute! I have the all white one and wanted to just swap the outer plates for the ones with the pattern but it's the only edition that doesn't have aftermarket shells available it's so sad 😭

[@peachiesophie]

haha yeah this one was in amazing shape! my old ds's from childhood are pretty crusty 😂

[@ashforestTTV]

First I just want to say happy belated birthday! And you have a new subscriber, your vibes are lovely.

[@peachiesophie]

aww thank you so much! 💕💕

[@obsidion_sings]

glad you brought up the modding haha, i was going to bring it up here in the comments! Maybe this is my sign to get a japanese 3DS :3

[@bvblover17]

I was going to get the same 3DS but i got the mint and white 3DS XL. And it was already modded 😊 and i love it

[@peachiesophie]

oooooh, that's such a pretty one too! 😍

[@lnkzooka]

we’re twinning! our animal crossing 3dses came on the same day 😭

[@peachiesophie]

OMG that's so cute!!! 💕💕

[@widmariecorderoortiz635]

Happy Bday! I just got one too from Alliexpress, already modded. Though I had to wait a month and a half for it (since it was cheaper).

[@peachiesophie]

thank you!! oh wow i never thought to check alliexpress for ds's, that's so cool!!

[@JAYJAY7574L]

Hey one thing I recommend is jailbreak your 3ds you can use just about anything that has an SD card slot phone tablet but I reccomend computer it's an easy process

[@madopixels]

I so wish that the DS was part of my growing up 😢 only now, as an adult, I started playing and got myself a Switch, so that's my first console. Hoping to find a job soon so I can put my hands on a 3DS ❤

[@peachiesophie]

it's never too late to start gaming hehe! i think the ds is still super fun, even without the nostalgia factor! 💕

[@anitaminch4217]

Came across this video. Happy Birthday! Where did you find this ac 3ds xl? I only see them on ebay and are very pricey.

[@peachiesophie]

thank you!! i found this one on ebay, it's a japanese model which was cheaper than the north american ones! i paid around $120 for it i believe?

[@beautywithliz]

A bit of a late response, but Happy Birthday! I hope that you had a great day! Also amazing video as always. P.S. Love your Haikyuu poster in the back 😊

[@peachiesophie]

aww thank you!! ☺️☺️ yessss haikyuu fans unite!!

[@AuroraButterflyx]

Ah, I remember this competition to get this 3ds. Sadly I never won it after almost 11 years 😢😂. Such a cute design

[@ralphieralph9176]

love AC..love the chill feeling and the seasons..and you´re cute xP

[@peachiesophie]

aww thank you 🥺💕

[@stellumii]

Happy Birthday!

[@Markeda005]

Great video! Happy Birthday 🎉🎉

[@peachiesophie]

thank you!! 🩷

[@AngelicBlissxm]

Heyy how have. U been! I have been trying to get the 3Ds XL in pink and white i wanna get Nintendogs and cats in the same version u have and I want new leaf!

[@kkeplr]

hii congratulation on getting the 3ds of your dreams

[@peachiesophie]

aww thank you!! 💕 so it's actually a plain pink decal with a clear my melody case over it! the pink decal is from precision gamer, and the clear case is from kawaiifanfans!

[@goopisalive8828]

i think hombrew can fix the region lock! im about to buy a japanese 3ds with plans to mod for exactly that reason

[@goopisalive8828]

legit let the video play like another 30 seconds and that exactly what you said 😭LOL

[@peachiesophie]

@@goopisalive8828 LOL i've also commented on videos right when the youtuber says what im thinking 😂 good luck with buying one!! 💕💕

[@GreyGlade]

it’s so cute i need it😭

[@AngelicBlissxm]

OMG SO LICKY I wanted to get this exact for my bday but I’m getting an animal crossing new horizons switch

[@peachiesophie]

oooh the new horizons switch is so adorable!! 💕💕

[@Abby-li5je]

happy birthday!!

[@peachiesophie]

thank you!! 💕💕

[@glamourmoonz]

I'm not sure if this is true, because I don't own a 3ds anymore but i heard if you homebrew(jailbreak) your system you could remove the region lock and play any game you want,, there's also custom online servers (pretendo) since the official Nintendo servers will be going offline soon.. :( it's pretty cool what people have done with the 3ds and other consoles😄 yippee

[@peachiesophie]

yep that's exactly what i did! i didn't know there were online servers though, i'll have to check that out! 😍

[@JerializMartinez]

Hi! Just a quick question, where did u buy a cover cave for ur black ds? I have a black 3ds and I’m wanting a cover haha.

[@peachiesophie]

i put on a pink skin, and a clear case over that! both were from etsy ☺️

[@DarkScyth3s]

i think cause you still have the “region” set to japan and not USA… I have an LL and an o3ds japanese and plays my usa cartridge. although modding region unlocks it, you should change your region to usa

[@cyb3rpearl]

what was the shop you bought it from? ik its from ebay but who was the person?

[@peachiesophie]

it was from "lucky_eight_trading" they have lots of nintendo stuff for sale!

[@cyb3rpearl]

@@peachiesophiethis guy scammed me

[@Eijik_]

@@cyb3rpearlhow so?

[@salsoto6494]

Where did you buy your 3DS from?

[@peachiesophie]

@@salsoto6494 ebay! 💕

[@inkterstellar]

Heya!! I’ve been seeing more of your videos recently as I went down the 3DS rabbit hole, hahah, and it’s been really fun! Thank you for making these videos, they’re so comfortable to watch. ;w; I have a quick question, if you don’t mind me asking! Is the cover on this system more matte, or is it glossy like a normal 3DS XL? I can’t really tell from any pictures I’ve seen of it. x’D

[@peachiesophie]

i'm so glad you're enjoying them!! i've been watching a ton of 3DS videos too lately 😅 i'd say the white part of the 3DS is slightly glossy, similar to the plain black one i own, but the colorful patterned bits look more matte! 💕

[@inkterstellar]

@@peachiesophie Thank you so much for the info and response!!

[@TCv3]

Sorry if im misunderstanding and you already tried this, but wouldnt you be able to use hshop to download the correct region DLC?

[@peachiesophie]

yep that's basically the other option i was hinting at 😅😅 i didn't realize that was an option at first which is why i ended up modding my other ds and taking the files from there lol

[@dontbeaturd763]

The 3D is great when playing Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy and A Link Between Worlds 🙂

[@peachiesophie]

oooh i actually have a copy of a link between worlds! i'll keep that in mind! 💕

[@leianickerson]

I’m planning on buying the pink and white Japanese 3Ds LL (XL) and modding it so I can play in English cause that’s easier then learning Japanese 😂 also buying the same my melody case you got your your black 3Ds and I have a cute my melody keychain on my phone right now that I’m gonna put on it once I get it!! 😭🎀

[@peachiesophie]

OMG that's gonna be soooo cute 😭😭💕💕💕

[@Lostgirl88]

What online store has it so where i can buy it

[@peachiesophie]

you can try looking at places like ebay, mercari, or facebook marketplace for 3ds's!

[@charlie55758]

Hi new subbie here! I love your happy personality and the animal crossing console is so cute 😍 I’m currently trying to choose between a 3DSXL and a new 3DSXL, which do you recommend?

[@peachiesophie]

aww thank you so much!! 💕💕 if you want to use amiibo cards in new leaf, i'd recommend the new 3ds! it has a built-in scanner, whereas you need a separate amiibo card reader for the regular 3ds. but if amiibos aren't a big deal to you, then i think the regular 3ds is just fine ☺️

[@luv_meche]

I have a modded 3ds LL Japan import and my shops and keyboards are all english! thats so weird that yours is still in japaneses

[@peachiesophie]

omg that IS weird!! i even ended up resetting this town so it could be set to the north america region and the keyboard is STILL japanese 😰😰 i am trying to learn japanese tho so im not too mad about it 😂

[@emmyemmmaaa]

WOWW!!! i love it! new sub ^-^

[@peachiesophie]

thank you so much! 🥺💕💕

[@cynsim412]

Yaaas!😍 How much did you buy it for and how much GB is it? :3🩷 Love u!!

[@peachiesophie]

i got it for $160 US from lucky_eight_trading on ebay! the SD card it came with was 4GB but since I modded it I put in a 64GB card so that there's lots of room for games!

[@IceBelleG]

Happy belated birthday 🥳 I never got to play animal crossing but since I really want a 3DS AND Animal Crossing I thought “Why not use my money to buy it for myself” 🤣🩷

[@peachiesophie]
