I mod consoles as a hobby, and the 3ds is probably the easiest and best consoles to do that with. One thing I don’t hear enough about the 3ds is how BIG its library is, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a game I didn’t like. Even though it’s 10+ years old, I got one for the first time time this year and been having a blast with it! If any of you get one, consider checking out the modding community! It is constantly changing and evolving, hell someone uploaded Diablo 1 for the 3ds.

Should also be noted that the DS and DSi models run the games in their intended native resolution. 3DS will upscale these unless you hold select and then you get a smaller but crystal clear image. While the DSi XL/LL doesn't have the GBA slot, it will give you the biggest IPS screens in the intended resolution. For maximum bang for your buck though, a GBA SP and a New 3DS XL is all one needs to play GB, GBC, GBA, DS, DSiware, and 3DS games.

It is so uniquely difficult to find quality DS games complete in box at game stores these days, most of them aren’t even that expensive or rare, it’s just the people that owned them as kids either A) lost or threw away the cases and manuals or B) already traded them in or sold them years ago At which point most of the good condition copies are already owned by collectors, likely in their 20’s and 30’s, who are internet savvy enough to sell the games on their own at full price. Makes the hunt horrendous though. One example is I’ve been looking for a copy of the Legendary Starfy for the last 5 years, and after hundreds of visits to many different stores I have still never seen a CIB copy - and yet it’s only like $25 with plenty of copies on eBay lmao

For the 3DS, the #1 game I recommend is Kid Icarus Uprising. Genuinely one of the best games ever made and I can’t sing it’s praises enough!

The DSi XL is NOT just a bigger DSi - it has 2 IPS screens! DSi also DOES play GBA - hack it and use TW++. You aren't even considering the screen which are hugely different - Original DS is dark and pretty awful. DS Lite is better but still not great. 2DS is the most comfortable to hold. 2DS XL is cheap quality on the case - loose hinge and cheap plastic. New 3DS XL is definitely high quality but DS games still look best on the DSi XL ( much sharper image for DS games plus 2 IPS screens..). I would say mod a new 3DS and a DSi XL and play your GBA games in Open AGB or use NSUI to inject for 3DS main screen. Also - Pokemon ROM Hacks! Playing Pokemon Gaia on my modded DSi XL right now. Recommended game Mother 3 with English translation - you do need modded 3DS for it to play without freezing...

2DS (axe-head/doorstop) is best in term of ergonomics/comfort. No hinge means it's sturdy, can easily be held in one hand, or even just between two fingers as you readjust your grip/reach for controls. You're not going to drop it, and it's not going to get bumped out of your hands/nobody is running into the screen and prying it out of your hands with the leverage of something sticking out. Because it's sturdy, not flopping around, etc., it's also ideal for holding over your face while you're lying down, lying on your back, or your side, etc. Also, because the screen doesn't go out past your fingers, the center of gravity/balance point is perfect. It's not trying to flip out of your hands/doesn't tug away from your hands, it just falls down into all of your fingers, wherever they happen to land. All of that, plus contoured L/R buttons, and rubber dome face buttons, makes it the most chill, low-stress, easiest to hold, lightest feeling DS. All of the above means you can hold the thing with less grip strength, in general, too, so it's less fatiguing. I do have a few gripes/complaints, though: The d-pad is *too* squishy, to the point that I can't even feel it, and playing rhythm games becomes nigh impossible; the mono speaker is lame, and while headphones are an option, I miss having stereo, front facing speakers (downward firing speakers like on 2DS XL are the worst, though); I miss 3D. The 3D effect was really good, really immersive/engaging, creatively utilized, and sometimes just subtle and chill, but still fun, and I know I gave that up going to a 2DS, but I just like so much about the form factor, I haven't been motivated at all to fix my 3DS XL after I botched the first repair attempt.

💯 it's the lowest PPI screen I've ever seen, which sounds like a bad thing, but it's really nice for playing games in their native res with those massive blocky pixels. Ergonomics are much better than 3dsxl too, the weight difference is huge. GBA looks great on it too through twilight, but I don't do that much anymore as not every game runs perfectly from start to finish. Love the DSI XL, it's totally underrated and this is reflected in its relatively low prices. Best kept secret in handheld gaming.

It is totally worth it, Pokemon games alone are the games I would take to the end of the world with me. SS/HG especially 😊😊😊

Funny how you say A Link Between Worlds is a linear Zelda game since it is one of the most open-ended games in the series because you can tackle the dungeons in any order. Maybe you meant top-down vs 3D games.

DSiXL was the goat because screen was big enough u never needed to use stylus but your thumbs instead.

If you don't want to pay the expensive price for Chrono Trigger, the Japanese version has English for around $30-40ish
