Oh man that is really sick. I'm wondering why they're putting on their products the "new 3ds xl" thing on..
Each console has its own advantages and disadvantages, you should of considered those factors before purchase. Customisation or Bigger Screen.

I just buy a crystal hardcase from nintendo and build a template with Adobe illustration. Make it on paper and put it behind the case, top and bottom.

Sorry for bad english

Of course paintings and stickers are possible. But it's just stupid Nintendo has us choose between convenience and look. The same way the only beautiful Wii U (the white one -that's my opinion-) is the one with the ridiculous storage, and the ugly one (the black one -still my opinion-) has a more reasonable storage. Just why ? Why can't we choose our storage and our color for the Wii U ? Why can't we choose the size and the faceplate for the New 3DS ?

very nice! how can you spray paint with that much detail, i thought it wasn't possible...?

sure, nintendo i think has 'always' had replacement battery covers for their devices online for sale, but still they are not replaceable faceplates, the big3ds just doesn't have them

probably they didn't think they had much profit or didn't wanted to invest..
i don't see it as a big deal anyway.. probably you can stamp it if you really wanted to..

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
