If I got a Switch or another console then I wouldn't play the 3DS much, but for now I still use it a lot. I have almost the entire Picross collection, beat every puzzle a hundred times but they're still a fun brain-flex. Tri Force Heroes is still online, and I've been meaning to try out a couple other series like Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Bravely Default, Monster Hunter, but I don't really know where to start and haven't been feeling up to starting any really deep games lately.

I work at Zelda Wiki (the independent one, not the Fandom one) and there's still a good amount of DS/3DS era content to document. It's nice being able to spoof regions/languages and take screenshots with Luma.

thanks for the idea. I've been looking for the more obscure 3ds games to play online rather than the basic mario kart, smash, monster hunter triangle
You should beat the Woodlands / Forest Temple first, not just to get used to the mechanics, but then you'll be able to pick random levels and you'll be much more likely to connect to other players.

A lot of people still play on their 3ds, some even buy their first 3ds now that e-shop has closed. 3ds, especially new 3ds is a great device for playing system games and retro games, up to ps1 games (only new 3ds), so Yes, 3ds is still a lot of fun an many people including me play on it

I still play on my XL once in awhile, but my hands/ fingers get sore quickly playing on it, but I do have large hands so maybe it just me... I mostly play Switch w pro controller or Xbox.

People name drop it so much, just begging Nintendo to DMCA it or kill the domain. (Yes, Nintendo do read GBAtemp.)
I got confused, I know the big N reads GBATemp zillion times at day (they checking that on court even), but I did not mention any site at all. Or is the word "S***" the one what triggers they ninjas? :yay3ds:

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
