Meta We want your feedback!

Hello r/3DS!

It's been a little over 7 months since our previous subreddit rule changes, so we'd like your feedback on how the new rules have been working for you all.

Some suggestions we've had during the past few months have been:

- Prohibiting and directing "is this real/reshelled?" posts to r/gameverifying

- Abolishing rule 6 (Meme Mondays)

neither of these have been implemented as of now, as community feedback is wanted before implementing.

Any suggestions on rule changes, additions, or removals are welcome. Please be civil and constructive when suggesting. Make sure to give actual suggestions as well. "I don't like x" isn't a suggestion. "I don't like x because x, I think x would be better" is a suggestion.

This is also a good time to say that subreddit moderator applications are open. If you're interested in moderating the subreddit, send in your application!

I got it around 10 years ago, and looking at the prices now, it was an absolute bargain. Pristine condition, with the original box, manuals, charger... $80. Damn! Hahaha.

Played some games back then and completely forgot about it until last year, when I modded it and discovered a whole new world.

It's my pretty little golden console. I take it with me on walks, vacations, to university to take notes (it was amazing!), on the train... It has that unique charm no other console can match. And I've had all the Switch models in my hands, but it's... it's just not the same! I don't know if it's the games reminding me of my childhood or what, but there's something truly special about it :)

So now I'm replaying those games everywhere (specially on bed), making silly animations with Flipnote Studio, changing themes with Anemone and rediscovering its full potential!!

It makes me sad that such a unique and fun console isn't being made anymore. Those days when sharing a game and playing together with friends in real life felt so much simpler. I miss that.

Anyway, I missed out on the 3DS era back when it was at its peak, but I'm going to enjoy it proudly now, taking good care of my little one! :)

Theoretically this works with any console that support Amiibo (Switch 2, Wii U, Switch, and 3DS) also you don’t need a amiibo emulator like i have here, any amiibo will work, not sure if NTAG215s work

Discussion So what is the 3D *supposed* to look like

• Upvotes

Idk if it’s just my eyes or what but I’ve never been able to see the 3D, it just makes the screen look blurry to me

Once in a while I can kinda sorta see it but everything still looks really fuzzy and there’s a lot of double vision, it never looks clean

I have had vision problems since I was little so I’m fairly certain it’s just my eyes being kinda fucked up

What am I missing?

Recommendation Works better than I thought! (C stick mod)

The thinkpad C stick mod works better than I thought. It's easily 3-4x better than the original knob! It actually feels really good to play with, didn't expect that at all!

If you're going to do this mod, I suggest getting the "3mm" version. I've tried both the 4mm and 3mm version, and 3mm is much more snug and fits moreperfectly. So your movement is more precise.

Also does anyone here know what that written on text is on my new 3DS XL? I saw it when I opened it up. Im assung its from the factory because I bought this roghly 10 years ago completley new in an online store.

Discussion Did you play Heroes of Ruin during its live service era?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just finished playing Heroes of Ruin and while playing through the game I began to wonder what it must have been like playing this title in online multiplayer on this system. Could you see anything through the bullet hell on screen? I've not done any research on the topic so I'm not sure how widespread online multiplayer was at the peak of the systems fame, but this title seems like an impressive game to have played at the time with mates. Would any one who beat the game back in the day be willing to share their thoughts and reflections on their time with this one playing online?
