These things are durable as hell. The most you should be worried about is an inflated battery and functioning charger. Maybe some dust as well.

Still playing mine
I am glad I got mine long ago because people went ape shit over this model thanks to 2020 fuckary, it’s fucking expensive now
Now the problem I have is predictably is the battery, the only place that still has it is Nintendo Japan
> just order it
Too bad, some retarded airlines regulations prohibiting batteries shipments because they are afraid of another 9/11 or some shit
I tried and they denied my request
The only option is to wait until next October for my trip to Japan.
Please for love of God, hold on whatever bullshit you have with China until I get my battery

Probably piracy. Kinda like how DS sales skyrocketed with the R4. With a modded 3DS you can pretty much play every pokemon game up to USUM...and a crap ton of other games. Much better than buying the same game again if Nintendo ports it to the Switch for example. Also people not satisfied with the Switch itself might look into getting a 3DS.
Sure you can still emulate these on PC as well, but it is more comfortable on the 3DS imo.
Also it was a middle finger to scalpers who sold old games at a ridiculous price. But now they might overprice the console itself...
And I guess nostalgia? As >>58792025 said, these kind of videos have been more and more common, which mean normies might try it.

Pity the 3DS era marked the beginning of the end for Pokemon. You don't know how good you had it until it's all gone.

We've had full 3DS piracy and homebrew for almost 10 years. IDK when the h-Shop opened, but I"m sure it was before covid. It's not like there's been a big breakthrough since it could already play every Nintendo hand held ever.

No, this is not a factor.

I'm not sure what question you're asking, but sub-$150 portable consoles can easily be made with a chipset that surpasses the PS3. At sub-$250 you can get the Switch 2 chipset in a portable which produces roughly half the TFLOPs in a PS4.

That is an insane amount of processing power, but even to get 4X processing power in a portable dual-screen, it can be done for under $100.

The only problem I've read about was the 3D function, but I wouldn't mind if they skipped it like when they made a Poverty 3DS.

The Emulation scene is fucked because Nintendo cracks down on the wrong sites, Jailbreaking a 3ds became easier, projects rise and fall for numerous reasons.

But I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo will crack down on it as well because they hate second hand sales so much.

Good lord, the 3DS Pokemon games were pathetic. The best of those is probably ORAS, and ORAS is mediocre as hell. Were there at least any good spinoffs on 3DS? I recall the PMD games on 3DS were also mediocre. I guess Rumble Blast was okay, but is that really it?

Every Nintendo system breaks records either at the start, or at the finish of the life cycle. Whatever they release handheld-wise, it's absolutely going to sell.

>Every limited edition Pokemon 3DS system immediately sold out every restock
>Fire Emblem and Animal Cross sold out immediately
>Monster Hunter 3DS sold out immediately

Even though everyone was downplaying the low-powered system that was fighting mainline consoles PLUS tablet app games becoming widely popular, everything coming out of the Nintendo factory will sell regardless.

Price increases on modern day hardware due to the AI craze sucking up all the supply, YouTubers making videos about how amazing emulation devices older hardware (like the 3DS) makes, people that grew up during this generation are now nostalgic for it and begin rebuying systems/games, systems breaking and needing to be replaced, gamers sick of modern day video game prices + paid DLC + paid online subscriptions (also going up), and probably other factors too. It's all coming together to create the perfect storm.

The emulation aspect is funny because any modern device can emulate the same things the 3DS can, but with better performance and options. But the system itself is unmatched when it comes to playing DS and 3DS games. The drawback of not having 60fps in every game gets beat out by having 3D, gyro, none of that awkward splitscreen cutoff, and a responsive touch screen.

This is brought up every now and then, but if you run a game against an emulator that stacks the top/bottom screen directly, there's never an issue.

There are already foldable touch-screen devices. Once one has some physical buttons and a directional pad/joystick, it's over. That device will be the unofficial Chinese successor, the way all the other portable devices got replaced by the Chinese knockoff.

True, I have the exact same one, unused. It isn't "sealed" though because I redeemed ambassador-exclusive rewards that were limited time. I never even thought at the time it would get a custom OS in the future and an endless library of free games, otherwise it would definitely be sealed.

>The feel when you destroy the value of the system by redeeming games I could have easily emulated
