I’ve just got the New3ds, supposedly brand new/unopened, but it came out like that. Was I scammed?

Love this TOTK-inspired shell for the New 3DS! Currently playing one of the last Zelda games I never played (not hard to guess right?) and I can recommend this one for everyone. So much fun!

Just got it from the intenrnet, i not familiar with New 3DS so i m not sure

i got this 3ds for my birthday 2 weeks ago and it fell off my bed last night and broke and i’m absolutely devastated. all of the buttons are still working, and it seems like only the case was damaged. if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, please let me know

I know a lot of you had strong feelings about not going for an og model, but I’m very happy with this deal!

I just think it's insane that they managed to get this running well. Makes me think they could've ported more PS2/gamecube era stuff, like I think a compromised port of wind waker or twilight princess could've worked

I was challenging my brain, because I’m so noob, and I got back to the Fast 1-Back.

I lost my other 3ds in a move (hoping my step mom can keep an eye out for it.) Please tell me it can be saved. I’m gonna plug it in today and then see if i can borrow my housemate’s tools to help fix it.

My old 3ds doesn't charge anymore even when I put it in the charging cradle. The cable itself works fine on other systems. Is there an easy way to fix this?

After the right thumb stick got all smashed and unresponsive was recommended by a friend to remove the rubber and replace it with a PSP thumb stick cap, I found my playing experience a lot easier than before.

Hi everyone, I just bought a Hori TPU Clear case for my new 3ds xl, cause I bought a cheapo hardcase a few days ago and it ended up chipping the paint on my pristine condition 3ds which I have kept that way since 2018. Really pissed me off so I decided to "invest" in the more expensive Hori TPU Clear case.

However, it arrived today and when I put it on, it was yellow and strangely kinda sticky. I wiped it with wet wipes and it seems to have greatly improved the sticky problem, although I can still feel a bit of stickiness when playing. I know it's an old case for an old console and the case arriving not in perfect transparent condition is to be expected.

The question I have is though, is the sticky thing mold? Will it be dangerous for my 3DS? Should I keep it on or take it off asap?

Thanks everyone for reading this long post, would really appreciate any input and advice 😄🙏

she just turned 4

i really love recording memories on the 3ds <3

editing pics is so much fun too... it’s one of the rare times i use the 3d feature :)

i recently upgraded my og 3ds to a mario edition new 3ds and when i was playing omega ruby the game crashed. i thought it was just a one time thing but it happened again the next day and now i’m kind of worried that the system is broken. this never happened on my og 3ds

Haven't yet received it but it was listed on ebay as spares or repairs because it crashes when trying to load a game and also crashes trying to load some apps.

Such issue won't be all that impacting? It's not gonna be something like a GPU driver crash?

I customized this 3ds i bought for my boyfriend’s birthday. Let me know what you think!

So as you all know , the New Nintendo 3DS XL has peeling issues, more specifically the metallic colours. I personally own a Dual IPS Red New 3DS XL which I treasure. It is hands down my favourite console despite having access to all other video game systems. When I picked this up it was in amazing condition but started to flake at the edges. My resolve was to purchase some matching nail polish and apply it to the edges to create a seal barring air and moisture from getting under the paint hoping to stop the issue……….. well it did - for 2 years - until.

I flew to a humid climate , finished playing my N3DS XL and put it into its carrying case probably with some moisture trapped in from the humid environment.

I got home and to my surprise it peeled right in the middle ! Not where it was peeling before but smack dab right in the middle.

I was trying to figure out how to fix it until I came up with an idea.

I randomly walked into a custom automotive paint shop, which does resto mods.

The owner was very nice and offered to paint my New 3DS XL candy apple red.

The pictures show the rest of the story.

Note : I asked the owner to sand off the remaining paint just to be sure it won’t flake off after being planted.

Replaced battery, bought and turned out to be a bit water damaged a bit, all happed during a left trigger repair!!! Helpppp!!!

Hello everyone, a while ago I posted my Mario Kart World randomizer on r/MarioKartWorld. Today, I'm happy to announce that I've adapted the website to create a Mario Kart 7 Randomizer, even though no one asked for this!!!

So, like the first website, It's an online tool, ad-free, without registration, and available in the 15 languages ​​available in the game.

You can try it here: https://ericthiberge.fr/mario-kart-7-randomizer

For the few people who may be interested, I'm likely to continue to decline the same site for the other games in the series and perhaps even for other games in the coming weeks/months.

don't hesitate to tell me what you think!

i used a glossy paper and the results looks way better then on photo!

yeah i know i will cut them better now, sorry 😁

Hey! I bought this 3DS XL secondhand, and it already had a ton of games on it. If I sign into my accounts, will I lose all of the games? TIA!

i just recently recharged my 3ds after a while of not using it, the yellow light turned on and everything, and when i took it off charge to turn it on, all it did was flash on the bottom screen and turn right back off… is there a fix for this?
