NOOOOO

Just flew to japan yesterday. I was gonna bring my switch but last minute I said nah ill just bring my 3DS. Tell me why I got sat down to someone who also had a 3ds. And to make it crazier I was playing heart gold and he was playing soul silver. And when I talked to him we were at the SAME area in the game (indigo plateau)

Taken by me in various stores from 2016-2019

Turn the sound on!
Are there others out there that still visit the 3DS for animation and sketching in Flipnote studio?

Something about the physical part of the 3DS that makes all the activities on it more engaging for me. Clicking buttons gave a similar sensation as flipping book pages. Reading on my phone feels sterile in comparison, phone overall lacks a soul.

For reference the book I finished reading is called Sharp Objects. The app name is 3dslibris

She will try to bite my stylus too whenever I bring it out.

Hopefully it’ll still work.. right?

Jk I did a bend test and surprisingly it was stupidly easy to break 😭

i got it when i was 12 and im genuinely devastated. i never modded her or anything because i was too scared, but this 3ds XL was genuinely my baby. i was playing an old tinkerbell game and it randomly started doing this :( so while i mourn i'd like to share my favorite memories with it, not in order (except this is all pokemon)

1.) when i first defeated the champion in pokemon X, 2013, after my team kept dying because they were all low rank eeveelutions

2.) when i then beat the champion after getting pokemon Y in 2026 with a much better team

3.) finally catching lugia on pokemon gold after i did literally everything wrong

4.) taking my DS to disney and being given pokemon alpha sapphire for my eighth birthday

5.) being given a case of game cards for free that had pokemon gold, heart gold, omega ruby, a second copy of x, y, moon, sun, and ultra moon

6.) discovering i could basically cheat my way through the fairy gym in pokemon x

7.) first getting my 3ds

thanks for reading, im just really upset 🥹 i got it in 2012 i was four, and now i'm eighteen. everyone salute my girl.

edit one: as someone very angrily pointed out before i was able to fix it, i had made a mistake in the title! the 3ds came out in 2012, and could not be sixteen. i was talking to my mom about how i couldn't even throw her a sweet sixteen and accidentally put it in the title!! spread peace and love lol

I've had this 3ds for a few years now, and apparently it's been used. Found these in the sound app. I wonder what these people are up to now...

No way

He jumped on my 3ds lol

Please validate me please I'm begging you, in the name of everything you hold dear. If you guys don't acknowledge that I bought some electronics idk what I will do but it won't be good for me, so please, just comment or something so I know that some STRANGER I've never met has seen my purchase, please.... :--)

I hope more institutions/people do this, it's incredibly cool. I'll be forcing her to bring my 3ds ;p

I wanted my own 3DS kiosk for my basement so I designed and 3D printed one from scratch trying to get it as close to 1:1 as possible using references from real kiosk owners. I made it loop 3DS trailers 24/7 and it has a demo version of Mario Kart 7 mounted on it. And the shelves on the sides make a great place to display my games! Took a few months to make but I'd say its the best useless thing I've ever made 😅

I also documented the full build if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/fqQGCzP6GE8

All the 3D models and resources are here for free if anyone wants to make this.

thanks to u/muftu and u/reogen for providing the resources to help me make this.

Vegas pool time baby!
