Core memory of mine is that I finally got a 3DS in Cosmo Red as a reward from my dad for doing well in school as I'd urged him all year about it, and then literally the next week the 3DS XL was announced in the Nintendo Direct

[@christiangomez2496]

[@nikkaz1950]

Same for me. I bought the 3ds XL and a week later New 3DS was announced

[@nathanrg5508]

When I was in middle school, I remember finally convincing my parents to buy me a 3DS XL. They got it in January of 2015... One month before the *New* 3DS. Still hurts to this day.

[@spacemanspud7073]

Exact same situation. I think it was already announced when I bought mine but my family just opted for the cheaper version. We didnt know nintendo would drop support for the classic like a brick

[@Josuh]

Dude same but christmas 2014

[@wil7173]

Literally the same, I think it got announced like 1-2 weeks after

[@lovelydumpling]

I had a normal 3DS that got stolen. After I got my first job, I was looking into buying myself the New 3DS when I saw the order history (shared the amazon account with my mom) and saw a 3DS XL in there 💀 So I both had to act surprised when I got the gift and not buy the New 3DS because I didn't want to just immediately replace a gift.

No need to announce your intentions

[@projectpst]

Memory of mine: My Dad said he would get me a Nintendo 3DS when I was 11. But Christmas that year, I was 7, and unwrapped the Nintendo 3DS XL in blue. My Dad went "Whaaaaat? You're not 11!" And I just said "Uh, yes I am!" I don't think I could ever be that cool again.

[@thebasicdog]

i just realized that scott is probably not laying down on his stomach filming these videos

[@ShiviePop]

[@ross3695_basedhax]

3DS XL way my favourite 3DS model Stylus was in the right spot, L + R and circle pad were big, Start, Select and Home were in the best place, volume slider was in easy reach. And the SD card wasn't in an absolutely unreachable spot. It was the best model imo

[@royalg.1815]

Agreed

[@myriadmediamusings]

If Scott's gaming shame was getting a DSi while he still had a perfectly fine DS Lite just because of a camera, mine was getting a NEW 3DS XL while I still had a perfectly working 3DS just because of SNES games. I honestly forgot that there even was a vanilla 3DS XL.

[@Rushon-pj8sk]

i dont quite understand, honestly being able to play snes games is a way better upside than a camera.

[@Serenity.Solstice]

Unless you had the ambassador games that's not really a big mistake tbh

[@hikerclarence7092]

​@NovaMaster375 I've emulated snes on a cfw 3ds xl, and it is not perfect whatsoever. It works but it's too choppy for it to not annoy "purists". Have you ever emulated snes on a vita? It's a more powerful system yet it still sucks at snes. Even with max overclock a lot of games will drop frames or straight up not run at full speed. You do need a new 3ds for a perfect experience, because the new 3ds actually has a faster CPU than the ps vita and emulation is CPU intensive. The only person I've heard saying the snes thing is a marketing gimmick is scott, who probably isn't as experienced with emulation. Nintendo needs performance to be consistent before they can sell the games on eshop (i say after how 64 ran on switch)

[@aknemesis5078]

Try clamouring for a New 3DS just for Xenoblade 3D. The SNES exclusive to New 3DS never made sense to me.

[@Rushon-pj8sk]

@@hikerclarence7092 that has nothing to do with the 3ds itself though. the dsi hates running gba games even though the ds lite and ds run it perfectly through the card slot

[@DeafeningCha]

What's funny is that despite each new 3DS iteration becoming physically larger, the boxes got smaller.

[@hyperaije]

I missed the whole 3DS era sadly. I was in my teenage edgy "Nintendo is dumb I only want gritty and gorey shooters" era during that time, but in 2020 I picked up a used 3DS XL off of ebay so I could play some of the stuff I missed, and I had a good time with it! Only issue I had is that at one point the top half of the circle pad stick broke off and just completely crumbled. I was able to glue the actual rubber pad back on the stick at least without too much issue or mess, but now it feels a bit off whenever I play since the upper half of the circle is missing. Still more than playable at least, and other than that it's worked very nicely for me

[@TheRenegade...]

I think I just had a DSi during the heyday of the 3DS. And I honestly don't even remember using it THAT much

[@thescoobmaster]

u can replace the circle pad, it's not terribly hard

[@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS]

Ahh man the memories. When I was 11 I remember spotting this hidden in the basement 4 months before christmas. It was the longest wait ever.

[@TurtleCraftZ1]

I think when the phrase "I have big hands" was as common as it was, the people saying it probably actually had average size hands and the 3DS was just too small all around

[@dannyrivera2733]

Worth noting too that smaller hands are more common in Japan since people there are shorter, so handhelds like the original 3DS were designed with that in mind.

[@funnyxusername]

This was the first 3DS that I ever got for myself, and I must say...... I wish I had gotten a New 3DS

My 3DS XL died years ago, and I’ve been wanting to replace it forever. So I decided to this week. And it arrived today, and it’s the exact same color as the one in this video. That’s pretty cool f*cking timing.

they should have relesed it only in green with red dots or red with green dots just to mess with scott's colour blindness.

[@Setupthemabomb]

3DS XL has a special place on my heart, being the first console I bought first-hand on release month with my own money, I take countless picture of it and basically become my second gadget beside my cellphone that I brought daily with me, surprisingly robust and it survives 7 years of use until 2019 when I bought switch lite.

[@pokeminion64]

Fun fact: I had my 3ds XL on the school bus a few years ago and some kid slammed his bag into it while getting to his seat, so it fell on the floor. I pick it up, and somehow it still functions, but the two screens were just barely holding onto each other, pretty much just with a couple wires holding it together 💀

[@NintenDub]

That's a fun fact? "Fun fact guys, did you know KZbin commenter 'pokeminion64' had a 3ds and some kid hit it with his backpack? I dunno I guess it still worked but had some damage to it,not totally sure"

[@deodorierer8185]

How did that happen? I have the feeling the 3ds xl didn't break that easily when I dropped it, which happened a lot.

[@pokeminion64]

@@deodorierer8185 I mean I don’t think it was the drop that did it, but the bag must’ve slammed the top screen backwards and snapped the hinge

I got my first 3DS from my cousin, who got a day 1 black 3DS to play OoT3D, and eventually I got the LBW 3DS XL for Christmas of the year it came out and it’s been my main 3DS ever since! I’ve modded it and still play it a bunch to this day!

[@nfinity7314]

I never understood the complaint about the placement of the styles on the original 3ds, like i mean sure the first few times you'll probably have to actually look where it is, but once you know where it is you never have to look again

[@iFish12]

I didn’t realize the original 3DS was the last box branding with the original DS family logo on the sides

[@galactictgw]

i grew up with a limited edition mario version nintendo 3ds xl, and i loved it. 5 years later i accidentally stepped on the screen and had to get a new one which ended up just being the original model, and since then i have missed my xl. the nintendo 3ds xl holds a strong place in my heart that i dont think even a new nintendo 3ds would take away if i got one

[@lawryvolcanoflames6293]

Oh man, I had this exact model of the 3DS XL (mine was an EU model, however), and Jesus man, the amount of hours I clocked in on this thing. Some of my best moments in gaming ever came from playing this thing. Insane. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I really appreciate it.

[@jman997]

I remember I had this exact same 3DS XL. I broke that one only a year ago because I accidentally dropped it.

[@butterccm]

I had a blue 3ds xl, loved that thing. So many memories. One day it fell out of my car onto a manhole cover and the top screen was done. My dad tried to replace it but it was too confusing for him, thankfully the new 3ds came out a couple weeks later. I love my new 3ds but man do I miss my old 3ds and AC:NL which I had digitally.

[@billyyank1916]

I used to play on an original 3DS from 2011 when I was a kid. Nowadays however, I'm almost 20 and find myself spending more time on my younger brother's XL model. There's something about how nice it feels in my hands and the screen being perfect for me (I have poor vision), not to mention the fact that I can find larger batteries for the console to make it last longer. Honestly, I would've preferred getting a New 3DS XL model had I waited long enough, but I can't complain with the 3DS XL, it just feels right.

[@two-nichegaming4482]

There was a 3DS for every situation: 3DS - Collectable / Keep in the box 3DS XL - Multiplayer for friend 2DS - Mod 2DS XL - Install a capture card New 3DS - Play on the go New 3DS XL - Play in the house 5:33 Although the design of Kirby was so plain, the box art 100% represented the graphics in the classic Kirby games, which is why I put retro Kirby above retro Mario (black and white).

[@JumpNShootSH]

I remember my launch 3DS's start/select/home getting kinda punchy through the surface, the L/R buttons needing repair, the LED showing funky colors, and finally the circle pad being worn down to the plastic that actually slices your fingers. I was glad I held out until the New XL, but sweet jesus that thing did not age well lol

[@notthegoatseguy]

My memory of the 3DS XL is I upgraded soon after it came out, barely used it, bought a New 3DS XL when it came out, and sold both my original XL and old 3DS AND DSiXL at a garage sale. I have since gone back and repurchased all of those....
