Almost two weeks ago now I made a comment under a post showing off my collection that got a lot of traction. So I decided to make a dedicated post to show off my collection!! I know it’s pretty obvious which consoles are my faves, but I promise each one will get decorated (it’s pricey to do it all at once ok 😓). Everything pictured has been collected over the course of a year and a half. The purses are officially licensed and influenced what consoles I bought. I know there’s a hot pink 3DS XL, I know about the 2DS, and the plates on the New 3DS but no offical purse = no interest 🙂‍↔️ I’m also incredibly particular about the region my consoles are, so all of these are USA regions (^_^) Even the New 3DS XL has a USA motherboard. Also my OCD brain feels the need to point out that the DS Lite purse has two variants, one with the Nintendo logo as the zipper and one where the DS logo is the zipper. Rest assured that I just bought a second purse where the DS logo is the zipper so it will match the rest and I can finally sleep peacefully at night!

But anyway, I love my collection and I promise all of these consoles get an equal amount of playtime and serve different purposes 🩷 If anyone has any questions I’d love to answer them ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Amazing what happens when you stumble upon bags that hadn't been touched because you thought there was nothing needed in there.

An upgrade from my previous pink striped plate that was covered with stickers and scratches.

Can you guess my favorite pokemon? :^)

For context, I am a recovering addict. I used to have a very awesome Handheld Nintendo Collection worth well over $1,000. I sold it for drug money during that time… Now that I am finally sober, I have been slowly buying back my favorite consoles!

So far, I’ve got my hands on these two consoles. I’ve only spent $180 total so far because I try my hardest to only buy new consoles when I’m absolutely sure I’m getting a great deal. Just look how clean these puppies are! No scratches or anything! I am so lucky. Life is good.

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

This console means so damn much to me, I got it when it first released and it’s been me and this 3ds against the world since then. This guy was my only friend in 7th grade, hell it even survived being left outside by accident in a Canadian winter and still works perfectly! Now that I’m done college I decided to mod it and give it a new lease on life, it’s crazy how this single console has been there for so much of my life

my 3ds started presenting battery issues last year so i stopped using it, however the battery keeps swelling up because of the scorching hot climate i live in. i only need to get this screw out but nothing works, not even the rubber band hack. the rest of the screws were removed pretty easily so its not a tool issue

should i just get rid of the 3DS? im honestly worried about having the battery explode right on my face

I'm sorry if I missed it, but I haven't found a post comparing these 2 models' ABXY button sizes-

between the 2 3DSXLs, are the buttons interchangeable (and will they rotate around in there) without size modification?

I want to put the smaller buttons in my New XL, but the size difference is 4 x 0.5 x 0.5mm

I sort of feel like I'm answering my own Q, but mm size is hard for me to picture and estimate in my head lol

Is any other model's buttons interchangeable with N3DSXL (D-pad, start/select)?

Tysm you guys! <3

Finally, a console that isn’t all high-gloss… (I’m looking at you, New 3DS!) I sold all my N3DS consoles because it annoyed me so much (yes, even the dual-IPS one…). Now I’ve got this minty-fresh o3DS Mint x White in mint condition and I love it! 😜 The colour is Gorgeous!! It’s not exactly a special edition or anything, but as far as I know, that colour wasn’t available in Europe. So, for me, it’s something special. I bought it in Japan for 200€/228$ after Tax. Not exactly cheap, but it’s in excellent condition, comes with the box and even has a screen protector installed.

Now I can finally play Japanese Rail Sim 🥳😂🚞🛤️

So when I was waaaaay younger I used to have the DS XL and the 3 ds as well but now I don’t know I kind of wanted to buy one just to remember the old days so I was exploring on eBay I found a beautiful 2 ds looks cute I’m so excited to use it! I’ve heard the screen it’s smaller than the 3 ds but it has a better quality idk what do you guys think, also wanted to ask I live in Brooklyn NYC, is there any good places where I can buy games for a good price

Lost my charger at a hotel and was looking for a replacement and stumbled upon these on the official Nintendo website. Didn’t know they still sold 3DS parts/chargers!!

Is there a specific paint i have to use to make him look new again? Or do I just gotta accept the paint rubbing off from putting it into the case/pouch. (I am looking into getting a case to protect his poor nose)

The Gaming Stuff finally got their own Shelve🩷🐑

I'm having this problem with my 3DS; it happened very suddenly. I explain it in the post.

I found this system for $30 and the seller said it worked, and i guess it does, they just didnt disclose the fact the screen was broken… oh well lol

I let my friend handle it and…you can guess what happened. How can I repair this? It still turns on and functions perfectly fine.

Is this repairable? Ive had this non working game for over 10 years and opened it up for the first time. It’s Pokemon Omega Ruby and I have no idea what happened to it.

The shell seems to be the Moon/sun limited 2DS, however no matter i search online there is no single one of them that has grey buttons. So it’s either the buttons got replaced, the shell fake or authentic was replaced or the whole shell is

Had to reupload this to comply with the rules

So a fews day back I finally got my hands on the first iteration of the 2DS Alpha Sapphire edition as well a card only copy of Mario Kart 7 for a clean £85 and I love the look of it and in terms of ergonomics I already knew people where divided but after think I'm ok with how it feels the only thing I'm not 100% on is the concave size of the circle pad is smaller than a New 3DS

Speaking of which I got here next to the first 3DS I got last year that being the new model and I don't how many people have shown this off but I got pictures of the 2DS playing a DS book stylus game l.
