Hardware Is the Pro Controller that good? Better than a 3DS good?

Well, I’m thinking of getting one to use on my Switch and PC, heard from many people that it’s pretty much the best controller for most games and I like gimmicks like the HD Rumble but the form factor of the joy-cons not so much. I did however find a local offer for a regular 3DS in good condition for pretty much the same price as the controller and I can only get one or the other. I’m mainly interested in the 3DS for the jrpgs like the MegaTens that I doubt will be ported and homebrew. What do you suggest? Is it really worth it to get a 3DS in current year?

This is a pretty strange question because the two aren't remotely comparable. One lets you play your current system in comfort, the other is an entirely new system (which isn't all that comfortable...)

What I can say is that any given 3DS game is exceedingly unlikely to be ported to Switch. So if you have a strong interest in 3DS games you should probably go with the system. If you're the type that can't "go back" to 240p visuals then maybe not.

You can emulate 3DS games on your PC and use the Pro Controller to play them. So go with the Pro Controller :)
The regular o3DS isn't very nice anyway. The 3D works way better on the n3DS and games run better (with cpu clock/L2 override)
And the screens on the o3DS are pretty small. I don't think it's worth it.

    @dadadad delete sd:\atmosphere\contents
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should find out from the mod dev how to uninstall it. Every mod is different on how you install/uninstall.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @The Real Jdbye Wouldn't that take out bunch other stuff also?
  • D @ dadadad:
    Is it safe to delete the entire atmosphere folder? I don't remember what else was there, like edizon and tesla menu are installed through atmosphere, is it not a problem, will I not damage the system? There were too many mods, I won’t be able to contact each one, nothing was said about deleting in the description.

    I took 3 years of Spanish in high school, ages ago but don't remb most of it. Like they say, if you don't use it, you lose it.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
