Take it from someone who owns one, it's not wobbly (I'm assuming you mean the side to side wobbliness of the N3DSXL where some of the hinge is exposed).

Off topic, what game is that?

Only the best game ever. Virtue's Last Reward.

You should play 999 first though (a DS game) then pay Virtue's Last Reward, then Zero Time Dilemma.

They are my favourite games ever now, beating Zelda Ocarina of Time even taking into account the nostalgia factor. And beating Portal, Banjo-Kazooie, and Beyond Good and Evil.

It wobbles with about a half inch of travel when it's in a locked position - like all hinged 3ds's. It doesn't flop all the way down or up unless you suddenly jerk it hard.

This all-too-common complaint some people make drives me crazy. Do you all have Parkinson's Disease or something? Or are you guys making love to a light socket while gaming? :P
Not to mention that it makes sense as to why the hinge wobbles like that, try lying down on your bed with your belly up, playing your 3DS.
This is where the wobbly screen comes in handy as well.

Just bought one today at target

Just an FYI
New blue 2ds (old non hinged) bought at Target 1 hr ago 11.3.0.xxu
Modded and getting ready to hand off to my big little guy.
Wow has the process gotten dead simple and quick (done 5 previous 3ds' years ago with the last being when the Mario Black Friday new 3ds was released)
Same as OP.

Hi, I'd like to ask about buying a new old 2ds at bestbuy or gamestop. Are there any risks for 11.4+?

Thanks.

They have wobbly loose hinges instead, even the newest one. Was looking forward to getting N2DSXL, but now won't bother. The original O3DS was good, but still wasn't as nice as the DS lite hinge
The hinges are meant to fit "loosely" to avoid cracking the chassis when it's open/closed a lot. Trust me, if they were as tight as you want them they would break pretty often from regular use. Ever notice how the top screen wiggles ever so slightly? Yeah, it's on purpose so it doesn't break; not so it will be loose enough to fall off Lol.

Trust me, there is nothing wrong with my DS lite or my O3DS, they have far superior hinge to the N3DS. Have fun with your crappy, horrible, wobbly hinge.

And I'm not talking about it going from "side to side", I'm talking forward and back, as you must well know. Please can't people stop with this strawman argument

It's not but ok, you made a statement and I made an observation based on your statement I didn't assume an argument. Learn to accept an opinion other than your own when you can google "why" the hinges are loose. You'll get the same reasoning. You seem awfully offended by a general comment for some reason. I don't understand why you took me saying that the hinges are supposed to be loose as a personal attack. You've got issues dude.

Anyone knows what the default firmware for the Old2ds with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed; Europe is? Unfortunately, I can't post the link to the amazon offer (maybe, because I'm a new member)

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow

    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?

    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
