3DS IN 2025?

[worldly drift]

alright so, I'm thinking to buy 3DS to play Pokemon n other games, also to carry around because switch consoles are just too big imo. During Wii U n 3DS, I owned Wii U. So what I wanna know, which model I should buy. Original 3DS seems kinda perfect imo, New editions are too expensive

o3ds lowk since you cant buy the newer models, and the 3dsxl is prone to snap the hinge

I found new 3ds very nice nice price, complete box

but I aint got money for that rn

o3ds then

the best one for price is the 2ds. but as you got the money, the 3ds is a better option since its more compact. the 3ds xl is not worth it; though the new editions are good as well (but expensive). i got 1 n2ds xl and its great for stuff, very big screen and very good performance

it depends on personal opinion tho.

Ye personally I thought of buying New 3DS, 3ds or 2ds. New 3DS cause I like that its small, not too big yk yk, and has the newest features aswell

You know, people say "do not buy a n2ds xl it sucks get a n3ds" but i prefer this one

and guess what? i got all 3 of them (3ds, 2ds, n2ds xl) and i'd tier them like this

n2ds xl
3ds
2ds

About the New 2DS XL

We don't recommend buying the New 2DS XL for a multitude of reasons:

• Higher rate of FCRAM failure
• Higher rate of NAND failure
• Hinge prone to snapping
• Difficult to repair (e.g battery glued in place)
• Low quality build despite being in the "New" line
• High price despite being a budget console
• Lower battery capacity (1300mAh vs 1750mAh)
• LCD light bleeds through the shell on orange and white models
• Backplate uses tri-point screws despite all other models using #00 JIS
• Speakers placed where your hand goes
• Matte finish is prone to scratching
• Tiny stylus
• No 3D (obviously)
• No charging cradle
  We are of course not saying to get rid of it if you already own one, but if you are in the market for a new 3DS it's best to avoid the n2DSXL for the reasons above.
