Today...was bittersweet. Greatness was born (FFXVI, Harry Potter, GoW2) while other greatness became lost to us. Our beloved 3DS. You taught us so much, we will never forget you.

Started slow and gimmicky, but by the end arguably one of the best if not the best handheld ever. Nintendo just rocks it with portable gaming every time.

it's hit and miss with refurbished, sometimes it comes like new with few issues. other times they crap out after some time.

not much luck with gamecube (died within 2 years)
phone (had it for 2 years, screen's having issues).

always go for new if possible.

PS system: over 7 years without it breaking down.

I was originally shaky on the 3DS and put off getting one for the first few years it was out considering Nintendo was just putting out a lot of gimmicky games or just safe, portable 3D updates to some of their long running IPs, but before the Switch finally hit it's stride in 2019 the 3DS was the best Nintendo console since the Super Nintendo. So many great first party games available for it, especially when you factor in the DS backwards compatibility and eshop virtual console. I still have my Fire Emblem Fates New 3DS XL and still have a bit of a backlog on it. Working on Super Mario 64 3D. RIP 3DS.

Thus begins my melancholy!

idk, I really should have just picked up the standard-sized N3DS when I saw it for $100. Now I'll have to pay more than that for a refurby or.... get the XL, ugh.

Or I'll wait it out and pick it up down the road. It'd be a mix of a back-up, a N3DS (since I have the older version), and so I could trade with myself in some games.

I knew this was coming. About a month ago I bought a new 2ds xl purple. I ended up paying $170 for it. More than what it's worth. Because of scalpers and price gouging. But I really wanted it, just to have as an extra. I already had a new 3ds xl pikachu yellow model (which I love). I'm glad I didn't wait. These are going to be impossible to find for Christmas at a reasonable price.

The 3DS was a straight-up bad system for the first two years or so. I'd say Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds first put the 3DS on the path to respectability, and Smash 3DS sealed the deal.

After that, we had the best WarioWare title (WarioWare Gold), an excellent port of Yoshi's Woolly World, a pretty solid Pokemon generation (Sun/Moon), one of the best puzzle games ever (Sushi Striker) and some other enjoyable titles here and there. It was no original DS, but all in all, it ended up being worth it.

R.I.P.

So, Super Mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus Uprising, and Fire Emblem Awakening did nothing for it?

As far as respectability and credibility go, Kid Icarus Uprising probably did far more for the 3DS than any of those mentioned. If you're trying to demonstrate a system as a powerhouse in its own right, a multi-platform title like Smash 3DS where it plays better on the other system isn't going to help. And while Kid Icarus wasn't a new franchise, Uprising was a drastic departure from everything that came before it unlike DM (which was just a sequel) and LBW (which heavily drew from LttP)

It...might be? If the price might go up now that it's out of production and you see yourself still playing it a lot, it'd be nice to have a backup while it has a reasonable price.

Otherwise you're kinda left rolling the dice down the road. It's also worth noting that the complexity of a system reduces the likelihood of just randomly finding one in perfect working order.
