    How to prevent paint chipping on new 3DS XL

    I've noticed a lot of the red ones tend to chip, at least is the case from friends and posts I've seen online. Don't think there's much to be done in the way of preventative measures other than not stressing the the plastic it's adhered to. I think it's more a case of factory defect with the...

    New 3ds or New 3ds xl?

    Depends. I have both, and have used both. I used to like the XL, but I've begun to like the size of the regular more, especially since the top screen doesn't wobble on that version. Though that could just be my N3DS XL that does it. The display is also nice in that it doesn't look over enlarged...

    Hardware Where can I get a reasonable-priced New 3DS?

    Browse FB marketplace/craigslist/other second hand selling sites early in the morning and early in the evening to find deals from parents, people who grew out of it etc. They'll usually list them for fair market prices, maybe a little higher with a ton of shovel ware games, but cheaper than...

    Hardware What do you still use Nintendo 3DS for now that the Switch exists?

    Casually playing games I enjoy, plus playing games with my friends who can't afford/don't want a Switch. Don't use it nearly as much as my Switch, but it's not too far off from my Switch Lite in terms of being used. Still a lot of games I want to get around to playing, and my friends enjoy...

    Hardware Which 3DS model to get?

    I would've recommended the O2DS since you stated you're on a budget, I find it comfortable enough for most games. But since you don't want one, I'd suggest either the New 3DS or the New 3DS XL. I mained the New 3DS XL with a top ips screen for years, but I've found I much prefer the New 3DS...

    Gaming I'm disappointed with the Switch

    I'm pretty content with my Switch personally. I would like some minor things, like the ability to connect a bluetooth headset, saves being able to be backed up the the micro sd card rather than requiring the online service, some more worthwhile Snes games to play. I would definitely also like...

    Gaming Inherited a Switch, need additional game recommendations

    Your list has many of the games I would recommend already, but a few I didn't see that I would get are; Octopath Traveler, Dragon Quest 11S, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and Hollow Knight.

    Gaming Looking for someone to put new screen and new shell on a ds lite

    Would probably cost more to take to a repair shop and have them source a screen, a shell and repair it with their markup than returning it and getting one on gamestop's site. Or if you're comfortable enough, find one locally on places like facebook marketplace, craigslist, let go, offerup etc.

    Gaming Does the DS Lite have any hardware revisions?

    I've noticed some differences when I reshelled and repaired the left trigger on a friend's red/black DS Lite for her and my white DS Lite. The bottom LCD on hers had a different looking digitizer, and the EM 10 power supply filter looked different.

    Hardware N3DSXL charges very VERY slowly

    Older model one should work, have mine from my original 3ds and use it in another room of the house with my N3DSXL so I don't need to go back to my bedroom. Another option is getting a usb cable charger off amazon. I've used mine with a phone charger brick and with a power bank and have had zero...

    Hardware What is the best 3DS to mod (hardware)?

    Seconded for the ips screen(s) (it looks quite lovely to play on and personally feels like the perfect sized screen) and the easy access to second hand parts for replacement. Spent maybe 4 bucks on a replacement d pad chip and was straight forward to swap out. Just now discovered the monster...

    Hardware Buying a Dockless Console

    Third party docks are still bricking switches. You could potentially look for a used one if you don't wanna spend 80 for one new, but there's more demand than there is supply so people can have one in each room of the house/put the innards into a smaller dock enclosure. Personally I'd look on...

    Hardware Is there anyway I can repair my Joycon Rails ?

    $15 dollars is a small price to pay if you plan to and are able to complete the repair yourself. Assuming you go to a technician he'll charge you cost of repair and materials anyway which would amount to more. Either way judging by the photos it'll need replacing, so you just have to decide...

    Hardware Is it worth upgrading from a Wii U?

    It all depends. I have both, Wii U has a great array of games available to it when you mod it, which makes it my go to console for many games semi current and retro, without what seems as much risk for a ban from Nintendo. The requirement for the gamepad can be a bit tedious, but it's still a...

    Translation Ni no Kuni Translation [ENG]

    You guy's earned it, I can only imagine all the hours that went into it, and all the revisions to get everything working correctly. And on top of that, your team even did the book too, which is another huge undertaking. I used Hephaestus' fix for the sleeping issue and it works perfectly now for...
