nobody has mentioned the fact you can stream your 3ds to your computer wirelessly, so you can play your games on a bigger screen. You can also hook up input redirector at the same time so that you can can control the 3ds with a controller too. Also ik you're not into piracy, but it's so nice to have all of the games that i've legally purchased in the past on 1 console, say not having to whip out my gba to play harvest moon. And since you have a n3ds, not even gba injection, full blown emulation is smooth.
