The New non-XL may have a smaller screen, but the tradeoff is that the image is sharper and the matte finish feels better in the hand than the glossy.

[@pentacosttb2565]

It's also still got a bigger screen than the original 3DS, so for my money it's the ideal middle ground between image quality and screen size.

[@michaelschwader7944]

@@pentacosttb2565 Is it just me, or does the 3D also pop more. The larger screen seems to go in deeper like you're just looking in. And while it's also true for the smaller screen, the stuff in the front looks more like it literally leaves the screen.

I believe that the 3D feature on the "new" models is truly underrated. I remember playing MGS3 and loving the experience, whilst the 3D in Mario 3D Land and Kart 7 was "just" a nice addon. With the newer models' head tracking feature the 3D never looked weird or gave me headaches. It is hard going back to those games without 3D though, since my brain remembers them differently.

original 3DS looks most premium and practical (portability-wise) to me. The glossy speckled finish, the light-up 3DS logo, the dedicated wireless switch, the sleek design, the extendable stylus. It may not have the power or extra buttons of the successors, but I think its overall design is fantastic in hindsight. The New 3DS and XL system are very close though.

[@Pyrichia]

Having gamed on both an original 3DS and an XL, go for the XL. The screens are truly tiny on the original, unless your eyesight is perfect, it'll be much more comfortable to play on an XL.

[@nuttynut8134]

agreed. my gf got me a black one for christmas :)

[@itsmestan]

Having owned the og 3DS XL and later the og 2DS, the 2DS is for sure my favourite. No nostalgia bias, it was a relatively recent purchase, it's just the most comfortable to hold. It also has the best buttons, a bit mushy rather than clicky but striking the balance really well, similar to the DS Lite. Up until the discontinuation of the 3ds line, getting one second hand was like £40. Cheap purchase, with access to almost the entire library, plus you can hack it for emulation without much worry. No 3D, but I honestly never used it, usually hurt my eyes after a while, and even when it didn't, it didn't enhance the experience whatsoever in my opinion. Nintendo 2DS, 10/10

[@azurekite3870]

yea,just got the og 2ds also cuz i wanted and how much the others where going for like 200+ to 300+ on amazon and i though they where too much money and great thing with the og 2ds is there is no hinge to break if you drop it by accident.

[@redruby111]

I definitely agree but I wanted to play with the New games and other homebrew features so I got the New 3ds (non xl)

[@FLOWRIDER0_]

i own an original 3DS from days after launch and a new 3DS XL from 2018, i would personally get the new 3DS or new 3DS XL as when modded, you can manually speed up the processor to get those good loading times & performance boosts everywhere. plus it lets you run PS1 games (very poorly) and lets you use microSD cards instead of SD cards.

[@nathanr25]

The 2ds and old 3ds xl are my favorites. The old 2ds had great comfort and old 3ds xl looked the best (especially the NES one). The 2ds and old 3ds xl also shared the same stylus as the wii u gamepad which is god tier compared to all of the other 3ds styluses which were small, short, and stubby

For me the standard New 3DS is the perfect model, it has the added processing boost, it's bigger the OG 3DS, but not as big as the XL models and it's customizable. only problem is, it's hard to come by and it's ridiculously expensive, guess i just have to put up with OG model for now. for people getting into the 3DS for the first time, if they don't want to cash out loads of money, i always point them in the direction of the OG model or 2DS, because they're easy to find and pretty cheap.

[@calamity0.o]

The 2ds I got, as a temporary console after my 3ds shoulder triggers stopped working, was a great durable alternative to pass on to my kid when he was old enough for a handheld but still clumsy so needed something that could be dropped a lot. The 2ds can definitely be dropped a lot. Love my galaxy n3dsxl with Pikachu plate cover and no child is allowed to touch! I've literally in all these years never played with the 3d feature on.

[@davidcole2913]

I have every iteration (multiple new 3ds) except for the new 2ds. I actually really liked the 3d function on several games. Some developers really got the most out of it. Bravely Default, for instance, used the 3d very well and all the character models looked much better with 3d on.

[@exmerion]

I'm going to be honest, The pocketability of the standard 3ds and new 3ds was what made them so good. back then phones were also much smaller so the XL was considered comically large in your pocket.

I'm still rocking the Old 3DS XL I got in 2013 for Pokémon, it's a great system and I never had a need to upgrade. If I got a 3DS now it would probably be a New 3DS XL, but since I already had the old model I never needed to upgrade.

[@patrickbarrio101]

the best clamshell design out of all the 3ds'/2dsxl is that of the 2DSxl because the lower screen isn't raised up so it won't eventually leave a mark on your upper screen if you like to put it in your pocket or semi tight holding case. All other 3ds have the raised lower half but it got progressively less pronounced as the models were coming out.

[@collectingonthecheap56353]

Have the 2DS and New 2DS XL. The original 2DS is truly comfortable, but throw it into a PDP Trigger Grip and it's like playing with a controller with built-in screen. Currently mostly use the New 2DS XL for the larger screen size. I mostly play Animal Crossing and my old school DS games on it, as well as a Virtual Console collection, so 3D was never a big issue for me, and now with prices still so high, 3D will have to wait for if I want to get a New 3DS XL. I enjoy the 2DS line, but that is what I like. If one likes other members of the 3DS family, that is cool too, just feel like there are enough models to keep any handheld gamer happy. Note: the whole sound thing with the New 2DS XL and original 2DS can be overcome with a comfortable pair of wired headphones. 🎧

It is portable, durable, perfect to mod, and perfect to play. Only drawback is you have to unscrew the backplate to access your micro sd card but you can transfer games wirelessly with a bit of savviness. You can even make your own custom themes.

[@songoku_6446]

Ive used every 3DS model and personally I prefer the New 3ds XL and the 2DS XL mostly because they both have the latest features and for me they're the most comfortable to hold, with the original 2ds I would be constantly worried about the screens getting damaged but otherwise I don't mind it. My first 3ds was the original model and everything you said about it is true, I don't have it anymore since I gave it to my girlfriend so she could play Animal Crossing XD (plus its modded) but she has her own new 3ds XL and I know she prefers it over the shitty og 3ds. I own a purple 2DS XL and I love it, its the perfect size for me since I've got big hands. I wanted a new 3ds XL around the time the 2ds XL came out and when I went to EB Games (now game stop) the store clerk recommended the 2ds xl since it was $100 cheaper (and they had the colour I wanted). if the 2ds xl didn't exist I would've hunted for a galaxy edition new 3ds xl which my girlfriend has XD

[@anotherthing]

The best part of the New 2DS XL over the New 3DS XL is the fact the SD card is accessible through the same trap door as the cartridge. It's much easier to access than the one on the New 3DS XL which you have to remove the back plate to access.

It’s not really that bad because I’ll get an R4 e-card instead.

Have you heard about the movement to bring streetpass back? I hope you’re part of it 😊

I had a 3DS XL (ACNH edition) but never got on with it the top screen always looked greacy, the 3d was very finicky and all round i didn't have agreat experience with it but tolerated it for a handful of great games, I recently bit the bulletand got a New 3DS XL (ACHHD edition) and Its amazing, much better quality top screen & actually good 3d the only thing i miss is the stylus placement, I find myself picking up the N3DSXL over my Switch

[@QueenViolet8]

Alright I’m so Glad you’re back and doing good 😊

[@abaque24]

i have every model, but the regular new3ds is my fav.

Would recommend getting a broken new 2ds xl on eBay then sending it to Nintendo for repair. It costs $85 and you’re guaranteed to get it fixed or a new refurbished one.

The video that convinced me to get a New 3DS, thank you

When im older im going to collect as many ds's i can, because i love them so much!!

[@Rokinbokinstudios]

I think the nicest 3DS is the OG, while the best functionally is the 3DS XL

[@poundcakeboi3104]

Dude is talking about the 3DS like it’s a fossil when I skipped school to go to Walmart for the original DS launch.

[@SansINess53]

I recommend the new 3DS because it has a camera that tricks where ur eyes are so you won't get the 3D effect like seizure.

[@sylnguyenn]

This video is so informative and also sooo funny at the same time LOL loved it !!

[@sidewalk__]

I remember this one Christmas when I asked for a New 3DS, only for my parents to get the old-style XL. Their response: "the person in the shop said it was new". I blame Nintendo completely for their history of stupid naming because of their inability to not just call it something like the 3DS 2 or 3DS Pro

Lol be grateful you didn't ask a wii u just to get a wii instead

the only thing i have to add is that you’re voice overs need to be slightly louder. but honestly, really solid video!

[@eragons1894]

I'm so glad that a child me decided to save up to get a better 3DS model and ended up buying new 3DS XL few months after it released. Sure, in the end, maybe i didn't use it as much as i expected to, but that just means, that now i have the best 3DS model in pretty good visual condition, perfect for emulating games from that era.

thumbs up as music intro plays. good stuff
