Should I gift myself a 3DS for xmas?
Some input
>Had a GB and GBA when I was a kid and loved them but had few games
>Never played any DS game
>Never had a Nintendo console besides those handhelds
Also I'm on a 10 months vidya burnout, could the Nintendo magic and portable comfiness save me?

What games do you like on the 3ds?
Make sure you get a lower firmware 3ds.
Given that a hacked 3DS (along with a $10 DS flashcard) can play every game from every Nintendo handheld, I think it's a pretty good idea.
Pretty much anything goes.
Should I get a regular or New 3DS?
Also I guess XL is the best model, I won't be carrying it outside anyway so bigger size is not a problem.
If you hack it you can emulate the entire GB and GBA library near-perfectly (isn't it technically hardware for GBA?). It can also do NES, and the N3DS can do SNES.
DS games you need a flashcart to pirate, but they're like $20 so don't even worry about that.
It's got a good library of games all its own, especially if you like JRPGs, and you can pirate all of them if that's your thing.
Get a New 3DS, they have better performance in every game if you hack, are easier to hack, and can emulate SNES.
Trips will guide me.
If the N3DS can do SNES and is easier to hack plus better performance I'll get one.
Are there any news about price dropping? The 3DS always had the same price as far as I know.
Don't waste time pirating it, the process isn't very intuitive and you're throwing your unit in the trash with a cancerous CFW overwritting your stock, stable FW. Just get the few games you want, most of them are really cheap thanks to Nintendo Selects program, and Virtual Console is like $3-5 a game.
Waiting for the holidays can't be a bad idea.
Don't listen to this retard , he probably bricked his system back when it was a major pain in the dick with a chance of going horribly wrong, it's really easy with a N3DS nowadays.
Regular size or XL doesn't matter, so pick and choose. Just remember that the screen is only 400x240, so you'll be looking at huge pixels.
Old or New 3DS is the big difference. Obviously you'll be making a saving on the O3DS but the N3DS can overclock 3DS games, and plays SNES games better.
>isn't it technically hardware for GBA?
It is.
Yeah, I'm installing a CFW if I get one for sure.
If it doesn't kill my eyes, I guess bigger is better.
>gift myself
The word you're looking for is "buy"
If you want CFW, make sure the unit you're buying is capable of it.
10.6 is the cut off point for easy CFW, then as you go through 10.7, 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 firmware it gets progressively harder.
>and the N3DS can do SNES.
Old 3DS has a snes9x emulator cia. Works pretty fine
How do I make sure I'm buying the right one if I go with a brand new console?
It "works pretty fine" for RPGs and such, but I wouldn't use it to play Mario World.
It framedrops sometimes and has bad audio. But it's still quite playable.

It depends on the serial number. I think there's a guide somewhere.
So, 360 era like, I'll do some research about that to make sure I don't fuck up.

There's the list of serials
The 3DS is garbage, pretty disappointed desu. Just wait for the Switch and hope it will be better.
If switch can emulate every released game it will be a huge selling point.
Black Friday is coming up soon and they almost always have a special bundle for that and/or a discounted price on existing bundles. It's only a few weeks away so I'd wait until then at the very least.
