Hello everyone, new member here!
So lately I ve been having a huge Nintendo nostalgia going on from my teen years and decided to make up for all awesome games I haven't played over the years. Am a huge zelda fan and I havent played anything since OoT with the exception of Phantom Hourglass. The last 2 consoles I ve owned were N64 and Gameboy Colour so as you can imagine I ve missed a lot.
I did my studying to find the best possible option to get back into nintendo and I currently have my eyes on the N3DS XL although there are a lot of things I can't figure out since everything is quite confusing.
So the N3DS XL here costs 200EU/220USD without and games or the charger. From doing my homework I figured out the my options for playing roms are: Gateway 3DS if am lucky enough to get a system below 9.2 and Sky3DS if am above 9.2. Is this correct?
Also, even if am below 9.2 as described here: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Gateway_3DS#New_3DS_Support I have to own a save dongle and pay another 60EUROS for the original OoT? Thats a bummer since its way more than what am willing to pay for a handheld console since the cartrige also costs a lot(especially the Sky3DS).
Also whats the difference between the red and blue gateway?
What would you guys do in my situation? Is such an investment worth it? Maybe get the old 3DS? Maybe a Wii U?
Any help would be incredibly appreciated!
