Going back to the Nintendo 3DS in 2023 - How could I not know this?

[@leroyhansen1094]

I had a nyxi pro controller and it drifted bad after a week of use. I got a nintendo pro controller which is way better, also i got a Hori split pad controller for portable play and it is awsome.

[@OmnigmaTheMaster]

LM 1 3ds will be ported to the switch.

[@oridjinnstones]

yokai watch are now exclusive to japan. There are yokai watch games for switch but for japan only.

[@MinhMinhOfficial2705]

❤

[@jayjay8782]

There's something about older games that it feels so charming

[@giogames13]

Yes 😊

[@fullspectrumdominanc]

Human made vs AI made .

[@Fascistbeast]

Games were a lot more fun, Now it’s made for profits only $$

[@gesslegonzales3692]

Older games were made with love before

[@jaxxonvideogameresale]

Definitely lol

[@Wineoclockbookworm]

I can't say that I miss the 3ds because I still play mine every day. I'm currently playing SoS Trio of Towns. It's soooo good!

[@sierrasmith1813]

I love that game but man did it stress me out (,:

[@Wineoclockbookworm]

@@sierrasmith1813 ToT doesn't stress me out but I know what you mean. Story of Seasons 3ds stressed me out. Between keeping up with what vendors offered the best prices for what type of goods and competing with rival farmers for crop fields and visiting ALL those crop fields that were spread out all over the map!

[@HangrySnorlax_]

You never played the 3ds if you didn't know about Lugie mansion.... dumb. All for content. Learn to make real content

[@ataridc]

you are so cool

[@barbwatchesyt4084]

Same!! Finally S ranking the towns :D

[@PikaLink91]

There was a time where my 3DS was my go-to console for EVERYTHING!

[@femtrooper]

Love this! I am currently playing Dragon Quest VIII on the 3DS so yeah, the 3DS is still going strong in 2023! Woo!

[@ircha]

I heard you visited HCG! I'll watch the video! 😍😍😍

[@femtrooper]

@@ircha Yeah, we had a great time! Definitely check it out!!! :)

[@xxLeobenxx]

I love the 3DS. I love finding regular DS games to play on it too. It practically doubles the size of its Gaming Library.

[@christophercouto1127]

I still play my 3DS til this day, my hidden gem would have to be a game called Ever oasis. Love your videos! Keep them coming.

[@mb31415]

I just got my first 3DS a few days ago! I missed out on it the first time and I LOVE IT! Cool to see I’m not alone. Thank you for sharing your experience ❤

[@LGhost9999]

I miss the 3DS very much, connecting with people through Street Pass was so much fun.

[@AjanM2501]

When the eshop ended for the 3DS I ended buying some last minute 3ds games and Luigi’s mansion was one of them. I also got Dark moon

[@ircha]

Awesome! 😁 I like the first way more than Luigis Mansion 2 😊

[@JoeFpoc]

Stella glow is one of my favorite 3ds titles on the 3ds. It’s a tactical turn based rpg, great story and characters. Set my switch aside to replay it for like the 6th time, dragon quest 8 is definitely in my top 3 3ds games

[@vicvon6738]

I Am currently playing Stella Glow, iThink I will finish it today

[@JoeFpoc]

@@vicvon6738 if its your first time playing it there is actually a “true” ending. Basically a little bit more story and a extra boss fight. I accidentally discovered it my third playthough. Have to max affinity as much as you can with klaus and choose to save “her” at the end.

[@vicvon6738]

@@JoeFpoc it is my first time, I do not know if I wil be able to get to that true ending, Klaus is no more in my party and the affinity was not at the highest. Thanks for your words I see you really like that game.

[@JoeFpoc]

@@vicvon6738 I’m not really sure if you can get it in your first playthough unless you already knew and just keep spending time with him, it does never fully max out just gets to a point where you can not progress anymore with him. If you replay on new game+ you get 9 free time’s instead of just 3 which makes it so much easier to max a lot of your characters out. Good luck on beating the game

[@jaxxonvideogameresale]

Great video 😊 I started playing the ds again its just a lot of fun

[@jasonhawkins6798]

Can’t wait until you get to 100k subscribers. Such a big milestone

[@Fast_Travel_Gamer]

I just picked my 3DS back up last week and bout Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and started playing through it. It's such a great system! I'm excited to get back to building up the library as I never really dug into it before. Great video, Ircha!

[@GHOSTLINK144]

I can’t wait for Dark Moon to come to the switch!!

[@Nintendude.]

Congragulations in almost getting 100K Subs. 🎉

[@Bpdbryan]

glad you’re enjoying yokai watch so far, such an underrated franchise! started playing it in 2021 and it quickly became a favourite series of mine. sunk 100s and 100s of hours into the games 💙

[@theretrouniverse]

The 3DS is such a great system and also love that you can play all Original DS games on it too!

[@Rave265]

Yo-Kai Watch is SUPER underrated, dood. The second game duo is actually a retelling of the original game of sorts (kinda...?), and Yo-Kai Watch 3 is definitely one of ny favorite games on the 3DS. There's just so much content and charm packed into it, and there's literally a game-within-a-game inside it. So many games I want to come back to, and Fantasy Life is definitely one of them! Level-5 just knows how to attract my attention, lol.

[@CoryVelazco]

LOVED Fantasy Life. I need to revisit that.

[@les-os]

Stella Glow best hidden gem on 3ds! Character focused anime SRPG that incorporates a ton of great mechanics from other jrpgs. My fav story driven JRPG on 3ds hands down, which is saying something cuz Radiant Historia is also so freakin' good!

[@ircha]

I've heard about it!! 😁 Maybe I should get it. 👍

[@tinka2833]

Love Stella Glow. Have a modded 3DS, but I had to have that game physically. The fan service can be too much in it for me, but still love that game

[@les-os]

@@tinka2833 oh yeah 100%, if harem anime tropes are a dealbreaker, Stella Glow is not for you! it’s a similar level to persona but this game is not subtle abt it at all lolol

[@JoeFpoc]

Yeah same, replaying it now for like the 5th time. It is funny how all the girls are just throwing themselves at alto and he wants nothing to do with their creepy shenanigans

[@magyreyes5560]

Thanka for the video Ircha. Just made me want to buy more games for my 3DS .

[@coretaku]

There is actually a game I'd love to go back to when I get a chance.....Dark Cloud. Omgoodness that game, and I have a lot of memories. It does feel good to go back.

[@GeminiSunrise06]

DQ 8 and 9 are my favorite! I had such a blast on fantasy life! I'm so hyped for the new one coming. I kinda missed out on the 3DS era. I played a few games and even own a 2ds. But at the same time i think it was ps3-4 era and was totally glued on it. That's a shame, i'm sad the Eshop is over.

[@Sheekago]

I bought a lot of eShop games during their sales. I have so many in my backlog now. All the Shin Megami Sensei games, a few Etrian Odyssey, all the Phoenix Wright games. So many more I picked up physical games after the eShop closed. I love my 3ds!

[@jedimaster12100]

I love my 3DS, I haven't played it in a month but I need to go back and play Sushi Strikers and some other games.

[@ADAMAGAYAN]

Ircha is looking good as always! ✨💖 thanks for the video! I'm actually in my 2DS XL mood and I'm about to start my first Radiant Historia playthrough, cuz I head a lot about how good it is but never started it. 🎮

[@arturboy777]

You might like Ever Oasis and the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI. You might find that one more charming than the Switch version.

[@azhhikari]

I love Ever Oasis too, it's so cute.

[@e-conrecords4665]

3DS is still an amazing hand held. It was my favourite ‘console’ for a while. I think the company that made the Yokai Watch games went out of business. There is a Switch port but it doesn’t have English subs. Fantasy Life (RPG) is a hidden gem.

[@neilslater1182]

I recently picked up my 3DS up again to play Dragon Quest 7. Previously Id only ever had the Pokémon games, but I enjoyed DQ7 so much that I've been seeking out other games on the console and picked up Bravely Default, Monster Hunter Stories and Dragon Quest 9 (which I appreciate is original DS). Looking forward to getting stuck into those, and potentially seeing what else is out there.

[@JoeFpoc]

If you like bravely default it has a sequel called bravely second which is just as good. Radiant historia is good, fantasy life, so many great games on this system. I kinda almost felt bad when i bought a switch , but after a few months i came back to the 3ds again

[@chr1s415]

How did you enjoy monster hunter stories?! I love that game and cried when they announced part two for the switch. It's such a great game!

[@Pain.-]

Still playing on my 3ds frequently. I love the switch, but the 3ds has a special place in my heart

[@orlaf316]

Having a 3DS moment myself. Recently got Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, Kirby: Planet Robobot and Dragon Quest VIII. Love Luigi's Mansion! I've played the first one so many times on GameCube and 3DS, such a replayable game! I think part of what makes it so good is that the boss ghosts are these distinctive characters, and figuring out what you need to do in order to catch them is fun. I'd recommend Mario & Luigi Dream Team Bros on the 3DS, it's just a fun game to play. Also, Tekken: 3DS Prime Edition. Tekken is better on Playstation but it's nice to have a handheld version of the game. Hope you enjoy delving back into the 3DS 😊

[@gfxartist]

3DS is still my favorite Nintendo console. When I heard the e-shop was closing, I went on a crazy buying spree. Costly, but worth it in my opinion.

[@mandapandastic]

They are still making Yo-Kai Watch games however the last one is only in Japanese on the Switch. Also, I believe Level-5 just announced recently that they are developing a new Yo-Kai Watch game for Switch however I’m not sure if that one will be localized either.

[@grey_wulf]

DQ8 is such a good game. My fav in the series. Still own it on the PS2.

[@PikaLink91]

Here's to the final 1.800 subs Ircha needs to her first 100.000!

[@wiscxrise]

Yes, it's my favorite console! Story of Seasons and Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns are my favorite farming sims still.

[@supersmallchibiwolf872]

I got started with the Nintendo 3DSXL in 2020 and I have found sealed games and played them throughout the years. I love the Nintendo 3DS It's a wonderful handheld gaming console. Cool video. ^_^

[@CrazyBuffyFan1]

I do miss the 3DS, but I have a small amount of games I bought on sale well before the eShop closed that I still need to play. I even started playing Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns.

[@Dn30383]

this is legendary and unique to see if there will be something like this again

[@gnarlibonez]

I played Fantasy Life back when you recommended it the first time on your channel. I love that game. I can't wait to see what the new one has to offer.

[@erallen97]

I still love my 3ds, DS, and GBA games. Im still picking up the physical games as well.

[@solkalibri1376]

You ended the video with a sneeze. Bless you.

[@valkyriedarquese]

I also have been playing the switch since it's release and just went back to the 3DS. I love the 3DS/DS, it's my favourite console ever and I'm having fun re-playing games and trying 'new' games. It makes me so sad that the e-shop is dead 😢

[@danielvaldez1683]

I loved Yokai watch 1-3 were waiting for the Switch version of Yokai watch 4 but so far nothing

[@presstheabutton]

I still play my 3DS because my backlog is endless. I like to alternate between it and Switch. I don't have the original Luigi's Mansion on 3DS, so I'll definitely get it on Switch. After the Switch, I'm going to end my gaming collection and just enjoy what I have. I don't need other systems. The train stops at the Switch for me.

[@mrglasses8953]

To me retro = computers and consoles from my childhood, so 8 bit microcomputers, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, Sega Master System, Mega Drive, Game Boy, NES, SNES, and even Atari 2600 (dad had one.) PS1/N64/Sega Saturn came out in my late teens and that's when I really got into games.

[@LinkSergilBelmont]

If I remember correctly, the first Ircha Gaming video I saw was you talking about the Nintendo 3DS and the game Fantasy Life.

[@JuanGarcia-vh7zo]

I still play my 3DS XL, I still shop for my 3DS. I'm still planning on getting a 2DS XL. But first, now I have to get those Joy-Con or whatever they are called.

[@Retromanamama]

I still play my 3ds lol I will never stop! Been beating a bunch of games I didn’t have a chance to back in the day. Currently working on super princess peach!

[@Terranigma23]

Dragon Quest VIII on the 3DS looks so good. Also just the fact that this version don't have random encounter, it's already a big + for me ahah. Only downside it's the lack of the orchestral soundtrack from the PS2 version. 😁

[@heyretrogamers2403]

what a coincidence i just bought today in the amazon for the 3DS Luigi´s Mansion and New Yoshi Island , love your channel.

[@Mar8308]

I got 3DS XL 2 weeks ago and great games like Mario, Yoshi Island and more. It's time to play everything I missed.

[@ScottW967]

I’m currently working on my HUGE backlog of DS and 3DS games. I am now playing Lunar Knights. I love how I can play my DS titles on my 3DS…

[@carolinekifa145]

I’ve been all about fantasy life lately!!! So good. ❤️

[@ozymandias_88]

Same I only got a 3ds when it came out for OOT and didnt touch it again. This year I've played on the 3DS way more than my switch working my way through SMT games and I have a load of Dragon Quest and FE games to get through as well.

[@monstermike22]

The switch blurriness and haze drives me absolutely insane! I love how the 3ds is so crisp and clear (especially with the 3D on). Great video, I’m here for all the 3DS content! Currently playing: Kirby Planet Robobot, on of the best games to showcase and correctly utilize the 3D

[@grantschilb8019]

Probably cause switch uses dynamic resolution scale (whereas 3ds uses native resolution)

[@lordeilluminati]

​@@grantschilb8019yes, and the 3d display itself has bigger pixels thanks to the lenticular lenses. The 2DS which has a standard LCD screen has a slightly crisper image because of the lack of the lenses

[@SnakeEaterGaming]

3DS hit me at a weird age and time where I was not interested in Nintendo games and honestly not interested in video games In general. But I did eventually buy a 2DS at Walmart for the sole purpose of playing Pokémon games.

[@jcsandrea]

I have some "3DS moments" from time to time. Monster Hunter 3 & 4 make me go back to it. The artstyle on those is just so nice.

[@alex_is_shook]

I found a great condition new 2ds XL at a game store a few years ago. Snatched that up so fast. Not sure of the prices now but online this thing was 400 bucks. Got mine for 150. I might just have to boot it up now :) so many good memories. It's Nintendos best true handheld. I really miss handheld games. There are some switch games that invoke those handheld vibes but it feels like something that is going away. My favorite games are probably Link Between Worlds and Fire Emblem Fates.

[@electricturbodata9368]

Great video and fun coincidence. I got the Luigi's Mansion 3DS remaster "new old stock" on the post just a couple of days ago. I must say I'm blown away by the 3DS after not playing it in a little while, although it was always a favorite. I've slowly started liking the 3D on the 3DS more and more. It makes the 3DS games look kinda look like pop-up story books in a fantastic way, the Luigi's Mansion games are prime examples of this. One thing I really miss with 3DS and earlier era Nintendo is that it was fun to get both console and handheld games. Always enjoyed the perhaps slightly smaller in scope handheld specific developed games as a counterpart to the "bigger" home console stuff. I'm glad Nintendo's been able to pump out new games at a steady pace on the Switch though.

[@QueenViolet8]

The 3ds is still a beast 😮 I’m still playing through the Shin Megami Tensei series and Yokai Watch I still love my 3ds!

[@YouOweMeAPizza]

Ircha, I think TOTK made me want to play older, simpler games. It was just so overwhelming and a little bit scattered, and I wanted a good old fashioned rpg to play. Would love to play DQ8 but don’t have a 3Ds.

[@beeshrooms]

Yokai Watch and Monster Hunter: Stories on 3ds got me through my Pokemon fatigue a few years ago.

[@joelyjowell3]

3ds games fell very good . I love going back to play old Pokémon games

[@disakland4714]

I don’t really have to miss it because I have a nice backlog still ^^ Great console! Tons of memories!

[@solm67]

Thanks Ircha, I just ordered the black NYXI Athena with your code. I love the 3DS, I play Animal Crossing most days. Luigi's Mansion 2 is an awesome game on the 3DS. Excellent video.

[@Rose_J]

Ircha, I love love love the 3ds. I have four of them (one regular, 3 XL), and a big stack of games. Also another stack of DS games which can be played on the 3ds. I love the Switch, but I often go back to the 3ds. I can’t believe that you haven’t played DQ8 though. I’m glad you’re playing it now. Also, I have that exact case as you. I got it on Amazon.

[@xSTstSTx]

I got into Dragon Quest from playing Dragon Quest Builders 2. Highly recommend playing it if you like life-sim/farming/building customizing types of games.

[@Kakki82]

Bless you!!😊🙏

[@barbwatchesyt4084]

Favourite 3DS games: SoS Trio of Towns, Fantasy Life, Rune Factory 4, Dragon Quest 8, Yo-Kai Watch 2 Psychic Specters (It's the complete version of the second game), Bowser's Inside Story (I have the DS version but it's still great).

[@Raphtor13]

I really miss the 3DS being relevant and have kept playing it all along since it came out. Switch did not impact my 3DS play and I do not use Switch as a portable. DQ 8 is one of my all time favorite games. I played the heck out of it on my PS2. As for Luigi's Mansion - I tried it on the Gamecube and could not get into it then I tried it again on the 3DS and still could not get into it. Yokai Watch is a lot of fun - I have played all the 3ds Yokai Watch games.

[@slettesen9406]

The 3DS has, and will always have, a special place in my heart. Probably my favorite gaming system tbh, and I still play it actively to this day. So many titles I have yet to play, like Majora's Mask 3D (I never played through the N64/GC version..), and Luigi's Mansion 2. I've also been thinking about Dragon Quest 8 for a while, so I'm definitely gonna have to pick that up myself. I highly, highly recommend Kid Icarus Uprising, if you haven't checked it out yet. One of the best games on the system, although it doesn't have the best control system. At all. But so worth it imo. Probably best to play on one of the smaller models and stay away from the XL's, due to the weight.

[@adorablehamsters2332]

where do u buy games for them today?

[@MARSENEX]

hi new viewer, ive been playing the ace attorney series on the 3ds and its the most time ive spent on my 3ds in years because of the switch, the 3d gives the game more depth.

[@Aeroweth]

Love the 3DS, but I feel even more nostalgic about the Wii U. Probably because it was such an unfulfilled console, lol. But anyway, 3DS gems? Not sure if these are hidden gems, but I REALLY liked Kingdom Hearts 3D and Kirby: Planet Robobot. Maybe "underappreciated" is the right word for those.

[@dajerx]

agreed. im one of apparently 1000 people that loved the wii u and i recently was able to set up multiple of my systems simultaneously, the first one connected was the wii u, and after validating the original super mario maker had all of the content, started playing twilight princess lol

[@Sheekago]

The Wii U is underrated and underappreciated. I'm still playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE on it. The backlog isn't as big as my 3ds, but I still have quite a few I need to beat.

[@Aeroweth]

@@dajerx Why Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD are not on the Switch by now is still a mystery to me. But my Wii U is also plugged in and ready to go, so I can still play them any time I want! Lately I've been playing Splatoon 1, and I go back to Xenoblade Chronicles X every now and then too. So yeah, I'm also one of those 1000 people, and I'd say we're in good company! :)

[@robiu013]

not sure if a Quartering shoutout is a good thing though

[@fettuccinialfonso]

Yeah seriously!

[@cutespooky]

I've gone back to SoS: Pioneers of Olive Town and am having a much better time with it than I did at its launch. So glad I'm not spending most of my time in loading screens lol.

I was playing DQ8 on my PC but now I want the 3DS port!

[@wes5614]

I'm most proud of my 3ds collection, so many good games.

[@chocolocojames213]

Still play mine. The original Kirby in 3D is so fun 😊😊😊

[@Warruz27]

I still have a handful of games for the 3DS I want to collect, but the prices of some are just insane (looks at Yokai Watch 3). Il get there some day but being so close makes me want to splurge and get the rest.

[@leenux5904]

Attack of the Friday Monsters! is one of my favorite 3DS games, feels like a Studio Ghibli Movie

[@NerdCrave]

I have a hacked 3DS with about 100 of the best games on it and it goes everywhere with me, I play it nearly every day. Currently playing Mario 3D land

[@Randomark3087]

That's a bery impressive collection!

[@deadWu]

Dragon Quest IX is the definitive DS game for me... It's massive, it's multiplayer, and characters are very customizable. It's grindy as hell but damn it has so much charm. Ircha, being late to discover things is normal and as long as you have fun, nothing else matters.

[@ircha]

I loved Dragon Quest 9 on DS, it was my first DQ game 😍😍

[@akalalaimranrp]

In 2020 I bought Two New 3DS XL Red, Galaxy and One New 2ds XL with games for $330 Canadian from facebook marketplace. They still looks and works great. I sold my original black 3DS and 3DS XL with 16 games for $500 Canadian. 3DS is an amazing Nintendo handheld console. Even my S23 Ultra and Steam Deck runs 3DS.

[@vi3889]

i love my 2ds!! in january, i started building my 3ds library. there's a few games i didn't get and wish i did, (anything persona and dragon quest 8) another reason i love the 2ds is i have super arthritic hands. how thick it is makes it comfortable to hold, so it's my favorite console. still working my way through the fire emblem games! i will definitely get dragon quest 8 on ebay and luigi's mansion asap! i never played the gamecube version. in primary school i gave it away to another kid. lol. thank you for a 3ds video!!

[@hela_valhalla]

amazing video, Ircha ❤ Fantasy Life is amazing! ❤️

[@bdel80]

3ds so much more portable than switch. Great form factor. Nice, you've got a copy of DQ8. I'm always nostalgic for the pokemons. I do have Yo Kao Watch. Not gotten around to playing them. Not a hidden gem but the SMT IV is quite good but expensive now. Modding the 3ds opens up a whole new world for you.

[@Brisk855]

I recently started collecting physical DS and 3DS games, but the Dragon Quest games are so expensive

[@Riz2336]

I was honestly surprised at how good the 3d effect works on the unit without any glasses or anything but I could see it getting old fast. I've never owned one of these but it looks like it has a good library of games. I'm playing an older game too at the moment Grandia the rpg that originally came out on the Saturn and PS1

[@Dinho675]

For some reason, the 3DS XL is more expensive than the Switch, even the Switch OLED. lol
