My Nintendo 3DS Console Collection

[@KierenAmero]

Fun fact, I was an old-school member of the website where Scott actually uploaded that custom Yoshi 3DS design. Hearing him talk about nostalgia made me nostalgic for that old website. Man, I miss VGBoxart.

[@Gex8202]

Still can’t believe news articles actually believed that Scott’s mockup was legitimate

[@CassiDS]

Honestly, I'm surprised VGBoxart is still up. Not because I ever expected it to shut down, but because the way some people wax nostalgic about it led me to believe that it already had been shut down.

[@KierenAmero]

@@CassiDS The site may as well be shut down at this point. Last time I signed in, the forums were unavailable, presumably because the site admin didn't keep up with site upgrades, and from what I remember, that's what most people wanted back as well. As well, It was my first real experience with an internet community, and I'm sure the same is true for a lot of other people as well, but it was fun. I think for a lot of people, it's a piece of their childhood/teenage years that they want back. Getting to virtually hang out with so many different people, who I thought were cool at the time. Learning Photoshop by the seat of my pants. The great Death Note fiasco, where someone spoiled the ending before the manga/anime had finished. All these things lost, like tears in rain.

Scott made one 5 years ago

[@cs5250]

I think it was about rated correctly. The 3d was a gimmick that kinda hurt your eyes after a while and it respectfully improved on the standard DS. Without the slider stick, it would have really sucked. Then came the switch which is my opinion the best nintendo console to ever exist. I think they'll have a hard time replacing it.

It's kinda weird to find out Scott's favorite color is red, considering his whole channel is themed around blue.

[@GatorInAHoodie]

I came to the party really late but the 3DS was what got me into gaming as a whole. I love Pokémon (I only had an original GBA, GB, and a family Wii that I never really bought games for) and became excited when, in the new games, you could pet them! I saved to buy a pre owned blue 3DS and pre ordered Pokémon X. I don’t have it anymore, but I handed it down to my little not-sibling when I got an XL. That little system got me through a lot and I’m glad I got it in the end.

[@justinarzola4584]

The D's was my childhood, the 3ds felt like a downgrade, there were both 2d and 3d games.

[@getsouped]

agreed, a lot of my favourite childhood games were on the wii (super mario galaxy, kirby epic yarn, super paper mario, etc), but the 3ds was what made me into the gamer i am today. fire emblem was my series of choice on it, i never played fire emblem before the 3ds but awakening had me hooked. i loved a lot of the mario games for the console, and i cant forget about the majoras mask rerelease (that felt like a cultural reset for me), but like… i still play fire emblem almost daily. i went to best buy and bought myself the galaxy 3ds with my own money at age 15 so i could play more fire emblem, i still talk about optimal pairings and such with my friends for our next playthroughs. had it not been for the 3ds, i might never have become an actual gamer.

[@e7i_906]

I feel like one of the big reasons the 3DS is getting so expensive is because of how fantastic the homebrew scene on it is. The console is a homebrew powerhouse and theres so much cool custom firmware you can drop onto it.

[@radioactivevolt]

I know right? And it's so easy to hack too, such low effort for big reward

[@murderman8578]

How so

[@saddq1]

True. A 256 GB microSD can hold more than 200 3DS games easily.

[@lordeilluminati]

I think it is more of the desperation gloom and doom about the eshop closure than anything else, like how many PS3 games were getting expensive when the PSN closure was announced. Even though the original 3DS had a terrible repairability design, it didnt past that much time for many of them to break so it becomes difficult to see models in good condition.

I remember getting my 3DS as a graduation present, I actually got a third party battery for it when the charge got worse, and it got to be an Ambassador 3DS too! A decade later, I've transferred to a N3DSXL and still use it to this day. Modding scene's crazy strong nowadays, definitely worth a look if you wanna get more out of the console. Also might be why the system is so expensive to get second-hand now, especially New models since they can play PS1 games

It's so cool to see Scott loves the New 3DS that had Mario 3D Land installed as well. That's the one I upgraded to as after years of owning a regular 3DS XL. It feels so good in your hands after owning the XL, especially since the New 3DS is a tiny bit larger than the regular 3DS and of course smaller than the XL models. It's a weird middle ground that's super nice to have.

[@Daansaes]

I love how being only a year older than Scott makes my experience so similar to his. In my case I didn't try to get an ambassador console, but I have to admit I was a little bit envious. In my case I had in the store the Zelda OoT edition in one hand and the Aqua blue in the other, and I went home with the last and a copy of street fighter IV. During a some weeks maybe a month that and my DS collection were the only games I play on the 3ds and boy, SFIV is a good game to impress a 15 year old. My second game was Star Fox 64, those two game are really good looking first year 3ds games.

I remember being super annoyed about the normal new 3ds not releasing in the US, I never liked the xl systems, and I tended to prefer not getting special editions most of the time, but I eventually managed to get the black Mario new 3ds which was subtle enough of a special edition that it felt like a normal system and I love it a lot

[@Killtagious]

This was the first new system I bought completely with my own earned working money. I had actually planned to save up longer to buy the system when it was $250 but then they slashed the price to $170 and I had already had enough saved up at that amount. I also remember the price cut happened around my birthday so it made for a great experience that year, I was able to use the extra money saved up to get an extra game. I was able to pick up Ocarina of Time 3D and Pokemon White instead of having to choose. And now, I have 4 different 3DS systems, oops. I didn't really mean to, I just ended up with them basically. Original black 3DS, black New 3DS XL, a transparent red 2DS and the Pokeball New 2DS XL. The New 2DS XL is probably my favorite of the iteration, so Scott's complaints are weird. The top screen isn't very heavy so it's a much more comfortable console for long play sessions.

The OG DS is nostalgic for me because it was before the explosion of cellphones as we know them today, but was a step-up from the GBA. Being that computer in your pocket wasn't the norm so it was awesome to play handheld games with more interaction (touch-screen and graphics). Fun times. I have a few 3DS variations just because they are fun and a few years back they were cheaper to buy used! Fun to see the surprises of digital games you'd see from someone else's used handhelds. My first entry was the doorstop style 2DS as I didn't think I'd use it much, then I graduated to the 2DSXL and then the 3DSXL and OG. I did buy the New 3DS Super Mario Black on a Black Friday special with the intention of not playing it because it looks so cool. It was just a fun time in gaming!

How the 3DS Ambassador Program worked was that you had to log into the 3DS eShop at least once before the official date of the price cut, which is why you could still be eligible for the 20 free games if you bought a new system at $170 before Nintendo themselves dropped the price.

Personal favourite is the standard n3DS, which has a bigger screen than thw orihinal but better image quality than the XL, thanks to better pixel density, plus black with the Snes buttons and the Majora's Mask plates is just gorgeous. I actually really hope the Switch 2's inevitable Lite redesign goes back to the clamshell, even if they don't bring back the dual screens. So much better for portability.

Further evidence that Scott is what's keeping nintendo in business

[@Slinks34]

Ah yes the 3ds addiction. I suffer from it too. My all time grail atm is the Samus edition. Such a beautiful edition. Awesome video!

[@monte_2000]

I like to think I have a decent collection myself: Majora, Black Mario and Luigi, and I recently gave my sister the SNES version since I couldn't justify having 3 of the same system. And don't worry, I made sure my sister knows how valuable and rare that thing is now nowadays!

[@-Quacken]

Man i f*cking love this guy.

[@TheMasonGamer]

Scott isn't a truly certified 3DS owner until he can say he owns a dual IPS system

[@Fhwgads11]

Sad I don’t own one, but I have a Mugen battery for my SNES n3DSXL and picked up the galaxy n3DSXL at ToysRus for $90 when they were going out of business, so I got that going for me so that’s nice

[@TheMasonGamer]

@@Fhwgads11 Oh really, how much better is it from the standard battery? I’ve heard about replacement batteries that give more play time

[@Fhwgads11]

@@TheMasonGamer at least more than double. It makes the 3DS way thicker though, which I find more comfortable, but it’s also heavier.

[@TheMasonGamer]

@@Fhwgads11 Ah I see. I looked into them and saw it isn’t a simple battery replacement. Not really for me, it’s interesting though

[@DJ_Penguin]

For me, my all-time favorire special edition 3ds was the new 3ds xl hyrule edition. There was also the majora's mask one, but the big hylian crest on the face just looked so damn good, and you got the extra features of the new 3ds. I wish i had bought it a couple years ago when you could get it for cheap. they're going for 300 dollars now without a box which is just insane

HOW DID THIS MAN MAKE HIS 3DS COLLECTION INTO A HOUR LONG VIDEO

[@marceloscarvalho7159]

BY THE SHEER AMOUNT OF THE COLLECTION

[@Corndog52]

woah, isn’t that the yoshi guy?

[@mtatters3603]

I love the 3DS I have the Black Friday new 3DS with Mario carvings on it but my first one was a blue xl bundled with mk7

[@Hugodra]

Considering this console make me fall in love with video games again it is extraordinary...remember clearly getting the Luigi 30th, with Pokémon Y, Ocarina and 3D Land...and wow experiencing Ocarina for the first time, then continue into the Zelda rabbit hole and tracking the Albw console...after that I got an n64 and start collecting the rest is history

[@teomanefe]

This is my main 3ds, this is my 3DS to throw in the toilet, and this is my 3DS with a line

[@90shandheldgamer]

This guy's got the dream 3DS collection. I'm glad I was able to get the galaxy one for a good price.

[@squireyuip9607]

Scott looks like he woke up from a nightmare that a serial killer broke into his home and said you either die or wake up and make an hour long video about your 3DS collection he chose both

[@CrashFan03]

Yeah I was gonna say he looks tired

[@fartgarfunkeljr]

You're not wrong

[@Yamato09097]

I love the new 3ds. I have the kyary pamyu pamyu collab covers. I snag it a couple months ago for cheap when no one was selling them

[@boesesGlurak]

I always find it fascinating when people describe the XL models as better. Even as someone with big hands I find that the regular sizes are a lot more comfortable to hold. My friend has the 3DS XL and it overall feels too stretched out imo. The buttons are awkwardly placed in comparison to the normal one, and the low resolution of the screen becomes WAY more noticeable. Always surprising to hear it.

[@susseratal]

Having never owned a 3ds, when Scott revealed that the back of the Zelda 3ds had the lorule triforce, I said out loud "that's so cool!" and then had a moment of introspection because I think I might be a dork

[@nerdrage3626]

Kinda surprised he didn't reference the one he Snapped In Half in the Mario Kart 7 Video

[@Notfallkaramell]

He what?!

[@nerdrage3626]

@@Notfallkaramell yeah, just look up the Video titled: Scott the Woz "It's Fucking Mario Kart Again!"

[@SpiralKipz]

I still love my Hylian Shield N2DSXL. It could be that the N2DSXL designs aren't as comfy to hold (I've noticed my hands aren't as happy using it as I remember when using a 3DS XL/NDS in the past), but the design and system are just so good.

[@TylerL220]

I saved up and bought a black DSi. Then when the 3DS got the price cut, I saved up and got the flame red 3DS. I think that was the first time in my life I'd experienced a decent hardware upgrade. Was it a powerful system? No. But man it was much more impressive than DS games. I then saved up for a PSP after that, but the 3DS will always have a special place in my heart.

[@rickality6344]

Have some really fond memories of my old og 2ds and new 3ds xl. Just ordered a blue 3ds xl today and hoping to replay some great ganes as well as play some gems i missed out on.

[@mackclodfelter7220]

You can really tell how much love Scott has for video games when talking about them! Glad to see other people enjoy video games as much as I do! I’m happy video games can bring so many people so much joy and just make people’s lives just a little bit better! I know after a long day at work or if I’m having a crappy day nothing can quite make it better like just going home and playing a good game! Don’t ever change Scott you are the best, you are in inspiration for me!

[@nintendofan1921]

You should get a reproduction/replica 3ds box of the mock-up you made and get a decal or something made with your design as well so you’ll have the official one and the mock up you made side by side. That would be really cool

[@BenjiWowy]

18:45 I’m sorry? Two car accidents?!

[@colbyjackcheeser]

I had a dsi originally and my parents got met he cosmo black 3ds after the price dropped as well. A few months ago I purchased a used galaxy n3DS XL as I always thought it looked beautiful. I got it for a relatively cheap price, it was $150 I believe with only a few small scuffs from use. The new system is much more comfortable and feels great to play on
