My modded 3DS is my constant companion. I’ve got a pc, the AYN Odin, a switch, but it’d the 3DS that I always come back to.
Truly one of the best libraries and one of the most charming devices out there.
Let’s have a thread commemorating it! Share your memories, favorite games, anything.
The thing I will always miss the most about the 3DS was Streetpass. I made a few friends in collage because we kept Streetpassing each other all the time and eventually met up and starting talking. Not to mention I’d take my 3DS with me on trips to NYC and get hundreds of Streetpasses from people all over the world. It definitely made carrying around the 3DS worthwhile and it’s a shame that we’ll probably never see something like that again.
I’m aggravated by all the people who said the 3DS was “dead” now, when the eshop closed. Like, no? There are no new games, sure, but there’s a shitload of old ones, and nothing has actually replaced the 3DS. I’ll be playing and enjoying it for a long time yet!
It feels like saying a kitten is dead just because they’ve finished growing - it just means they’re a complete cat now. That’s great. (yes, I realize this metaphor is a bit much. But even so.)
I’ve got a soft modded 3DS I haven’t touched it in a while, but I’d love to find some new title to get back into it. What are some of your favorite games?
Here is my entire list of curated games! Note that a strike through means I ininstalled it for now.
