I bought a 3DS XL sometimes last year. It was under $200.

After seeing the surge in demand, I feel lucky that I bought it when I did. I also decided to take it out and play some animal crossing new leaf for the first time and I’m really enjoying it.

I sometimes wonder if I should have bought the “new” variant back then, but they were much more expensive and I’m still not sure if the performance improvements would have been worth it.

I’m basically just using not for ds and 3ds games, so, I’m guessing the power difference would not really matter.

    Aftermarket (non japanese) 3ds prices never were cheap , but wat they’re going for nowadays feels silly

    Can’t for the life of me figure out wat could possibly be driving demand for them now of all times . Not like there’s any recent developments in 3ds modding scene (moddability’s been memed to death for gꚙd few yrs now) oar anything like that . They like labubus where they’re just “trendy” item to own now ? Idgi
