2ds XI or new 3ds XI?

I want to buy a new version of the 3ds family because some homebrews are only compatible with newer versions but which one should I buy?

Honestly. Id go with a N3DS XL. Yeah, its a bit more money, but its also better built than the N2DS XL is.

well ok
but i will need to buy an extra charger though

If you already have a 3DS charger (and not just the charging dock), no. They've all been using the same charger since the DSi.

I have both. But if have to choice, should buy 3d version. Better than none.

I have both N3DS (non-XL) and the Hyrulian 2DS XL, and I suggest the N3DS (non-xl) if the size isn't a factor... Also, you can change the covers, I do often..

I have had the XL versions of 3ds but found the 3d most stable/usable on the non-xl. Obviously the 3d is not as much a concern if you are considering the 2ds XL.. Besides the batteries are harder to change in the 2DS XL, when you need to.

BTW the Hyrulian 2ds is a bit better construction imo than the other 2ds'.

it also seems like the n3ds's sd card is much harder to access.
but the smaller version n3ds has smaller screen does that effect when playing games?

I can't imagine what would be so great as to warrant that kind of investment. Certainly nothing you couldn't play just as easily on another, much-less-expensive unit.

You can get a USB 3DS charging cable for practically nothing. (I do not understand why people are so eager to risk ruining their consoles with USB mods.)

it also seems like the n3ds's sd card is much harder to access.

You should probably avoid handling the SD card as much as possible anyway. It's easy enough to manage wirelessly, especially with CFW installed.

The games play exactly the same as they do on any other 3DS console.

but it is better to play on bigger screens right?
so the n3ds or the n3ds xl?

Its basically all preference on that. I had a O3DS and a N3DS XL. I like the Xl screen a lot better for the games.

 

[ultradens]

well i guess i will buy te blue n3ds xl

Make sure the N3DSXL has dual IPS if you want better screen quality.

lmfao. Do you know how rare its going to be to even think of getting a random dual IPS screen console at this point? Would say to just be happy with what you can get.

And when I say that switches which can be homebrewed are rare, I instantly get shamed.

Meanwhile one is just a better screen, and the other lets you access a LOT of stuff.

By all accounts 3DS units in general are very expensive lately, unless you import one. That's why I think it makes so little sense to get one just for "homebrew". (I guess streaming is still kind of significant, but how many people seriously need to stream?)

New 3DS non XL or LX.... they dont matter

Avoid the New 2DS, your gonna need to learn some stuff just to replace the bumpers on it
