As someone who only got a 3DS in 2019, i love hearing stories like this from someone who got to experience the console throughout the course of its life

Man, I've been on a "handheld collection videos" kick lately, and you've elevated it to an art form. Everything from the music and cinematography to the personal stories attached to each piece was really captivating. My favorite collections have always been ones in which the collector prioritizes personal quality over quantity. Anyone can buy a bunch of consoles, but it takes someone with passion to explain why they're so special.

You didn't just raise the "collection video" bar here. You strapped the bar to a rocket and shot it into orbit. Subbed.

I have a similar love for the 3DS.  It’s the console that got me back into gaming in general.  I loved carrying each one of my 3DS’s everywhere I went.  I moved on to the switch but for some time I was carrying them both.

I just bought a Crimson New 3DS XL, and man, what a gorgeous piece of tech

Literally the only reason I play the DSi XL is cause it come standard with ips screens. I only play my 3ds for 3ds games, but for DS and earlier games I use the DSi XL.  ❤

you are Nintendo's dream customer lol

I’ve watched this video like 6 times. I also collect ds/3DS systems and your love for this system is so inspiring. I love this hobby and love your content. Instant sub.

If I was got to design the ultimate 3DS, it would be an XL one with the OG 3DS,'s metal design and coloured ABXY buttons like the New 3DS. :-)

I’ve been pretty dissatisfied with the direction the switch has been recently taking, so I’ve been playing my 3ds a ton and I forgot how much I love this thing. Having an amazing library of games and virtual console is a dream considering it’s such a compact console. The customizability options such as themes, folders, and swapable faceplates lets the charm ooze out while the switch still doesn’t even have folders. Unless there are major changes/overhauls to the switch, I think I will end up looking back much more fondly at the 3ds than the switch.

Man, you got some serious editing and visualizing skills! This and other videos are very well put together. Professional stuff. Respect!

I had no idea that they started putting IPS displays in the 3DS! Wonderful video as always dude!

Now this is a collection video! Music, cinematography, an actually edited and cleaned up voice over went all the way with it good job.

I remember going through the 3ds generation and picking up probably 10 over the course of its life. What a fun time that was. I've since sold then and kept the new 2ds xl but I'll never forget that generation

This guy deserves more views ngl

Nintendo needs to make another one of these... I would literally just want another one that can play all switch games and previous games from Nintendo. Cmon Nintendo! Be the powerhouse game company again!!!

I relate on one of my biggest regrets being trading in my flame red 3ds to GameStop and later selling my pikachu 3ds xl on eBay. Whenever I got an Xbox one back in 2013/2014 I didn’t care much for Nintendo games anymore but now that I have a switch I’m faced with the realization that I miss my old 3ds, so I bought a brand new 2ds xl on Amazon for like 300$ a couple months ago. I know I overpaid but I really didn’t want to buy used. The 3ds family is going to become the most valuable and irreplaceable Nintendo consoles in a couple years once people realize how hard it is to get a good experience emulating the dual screen set up and on top of that I don’t even know if the 3D display technology is available for consumer monitors. Get them while you can I know even now you have to pay new prices for a used 3ds but eventually it’s gonna be impossible to find one in good condition for a decent price.

What a beautiful collection 🙌🏽

Got a 3ds about 3 weeks ago. Its a Japanese 3ds LL (xl), and boy is it fun to play my old ds games again. Homebrewing it and being able to play NA titles i borrow from friends has also been a blast. I can hoenstly say it was one of the best investments made for me in 2022.

The 3ds has so much charm. And I think many people, including you and myself, have come to appreciate that over the years. :)
