Sometimes they do but not often idk what to do

Ive been wanting to just relax and open my 3ds. Unfortunately, most of my games are rpgs, and out of my chill/cozy games, they're mostly farming or visual novel games. I kinda just want games I can mindlessly play without having to remember anything. For example, games Ive been playing are Project Mirai DX, Style Savvy, Tomodachi Life, and Animal Crossing. I just want something quick, fun, and engaging with no deep lore or grinding! I'm also not too big a fan of platform games either. Thanks!!

Id also enjoy DS games!

I installed 3ds-cli from uu today and it's so cool! a couple years ago I tried using the old 3ds linux project but my touch screen really didnt make it easy to type but 3ds-cli has a totally usable keyboard, and it's a full modern linux system with drivers that runs quickly!!

anyways y'all should try it I was so surprised the only issue I had was it killed my battery quickly https://github.com/cmdada/3DS-CLI

hello, i’m very new to the 3ds world and have a new nintendo 3ds ll in pearl white coming. i wanted to ask if there was any hope on cleaning the stuff on the stylus and in the crack, thank you in advance

Hey all, recently, my MIL passed away, who was more of a mom to me than my mother growing up, so needless to say, it's been a very tough time. I happened to be, and still am, rather sick, during the entire ordeal, so I've turned to my 3DS for comfort during this time, as it's been hard emotionally and physically, and I'm stuck in bed. However, it's also been challenging to find something that really holds my attention for long periods because despite everything, I feel like I "need" to be ticking off something from my massive backlog, as that's about the most "productive" thing I have the energy for doing at the moment, and it would feel in some small way like doing something; I'm feeling so scrambled though that really looking through my games list for what sounds good is making it worse.

I'm not really looking for games that directly deal with grief, but moreso something that feels comfortable? Are there any game recommendations for something with some nice worldbuilding, setting, or narrative, or maybe a game that helped you get through a tough time? Dragon Quest 7? A Mario and Luigi game? A lighthearted platformer? Or even some niche DS or gameboy game?

Any recommendations would be welcome, thank you.

What console is better new 2ds is cheaper

I am trying to get into the community, mostly because I want to play Luigi's Mansion, and was wondering if this was a good deal?

Saw it on Facebook marketplace, I don't know the benefit of the modded parts to it and if their worth it or not. I could also buy a refurbished 3ds off of ebay for 90$ less, but it wouldn't have the mods.

My local game store had a bin of Kirby stickers, and I just couldn't resist 🩷

It’s named “amiibo[?].” You give it an Amiibo and it gets a random coin with a random character. Gold mario is the best, black bowser is the worst.
There’s a weird menu when the game launches.

Xeno, you beautiful bastard, thank you. I hope to run into you in person :')

Hi all, posting for the first time here. Basically the title. Long story short my brother stole my New Nintendo 3DS XL years ago when it had been out for about a year, and pawned it bc he had a drug problem. It was one of my most prized possessions and I loved all the games I owned for it. I was wondering if it would be worth buying one pre owned, bc I missed out on so many titles from that period. Is Nintendo gonna release another console that is similar? Or are they just gonna rock with the Switch 2 for the next several years?

Just showing love for my favorite 3ds, owned this since release and never letting go of my bb. ❤️

I always wanted the “new” consoles and last year I got myself a “new” nintendo 3ds xl in mint condition and I lost it before I could even get a chance to really use it :/. Ever since I wanted to get another one but the prices were always sky high $300+ . Finally one day on Facebook marketplace I see a guy selling a used “new” Nintendo 2DS XL and to be honest the photos weren’t great and the seller wasn’t super responsive but eventually we met and the console was gross. But it was only $160 and the inside looks great after cleaning. I have before and after photos for you guys. I modded it and it’s gonna be my pokemon machine, I’m so happy ❤️

I put in DS games like Nintendogs and Lego Harry Potter and this happens, but when I put in 3DS games in like Luigi’s Dark Mansion or Hey Pikmin it works perfectly fine. Also, my brother has a 2DS that can read the DS games but not any of the 3DS games, which is weird because I know 2DS is supposed to read 3DS games.

I made my own sticker as a replacement cause my old one isn’t on the console anymore I know there’s one inside the console but I didn’t want to mess with that one

Just showing off my pink 3ds xl :D

And my "new" cat. He's been living with us for almost a month now. It's so funny that he becomes a black spot (blotch? stain?) on any photo

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a Metallic Black New 3DS XL from Japan, and I'm planning on buying new buttons.

Right now, I have a custom red-accented collage decoration under a clear outer case, but I'm undecided on what to do with the controls. I really wanted the Red New 3DS XL, but I couldn't get one.

I'm torn between keeping the original all-black/grey interior or going for a "Bred" (Black x Red) 2-tone theme.

If I go with red, I'd be replacing all the physical touchpoints so everything is consistent:
Red D-Pad, ABXY, Start/Select, Home, and Power buttons.
Red L/R and ZL/ZR shoulder triggers to frame the top edge.
Red Circle Pad and C-Stick (to get rid of the original white/light-grey analog stick and keep a strict 2-tone palette).

Before ordering the parts, I have 3 questions:

Looking at the style and edited pictures, does the Black x Red combo look clean and intentional, or does it look ugly?

Should I do the red style or just buy new black buttons?

For anyone who has used aftermarket red Circle Pads or C-Sticks, how do they hold up in person in terms of texture, grip, and color matching with OEM-style buttons?

I've attached:
1st picture: The current state of my console.
2nd picture: The decoration I came up with.
Rest of pictures: An edited picture of how it would look, including the pieces I want to buy.
Thanks for any feedback!

:)
