I do since the switch doesn't have pokemon and some other game series yet it also does not have backward compatibility so you will still need to play your 3ds anyways to play the older games. Which is why I think the 3ds is still alive and won't be discontinued anytime soon.
9 more months to go as Nintendo said support threw 2018

The microSD in mine got corrupted thanks to a faulty reader. So I can't really do much with it until I find all the files I lost, find a way to put them on the card, etc.

I play mine because I am finishing Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice, and because I love playing older consoles.
(Even though it isn't really that old.)

Yes, my favourite Nintendo franchise is Pokemon so my 3DS gets used multiples times a week.

I've recently been using it to play some old GBA too as the screen on my 3DS XL has spoiled me a bit compared to using my GBA.

I really feel you! I have the exact same thing. Bought an Stargate 3DS so can play almost all the games I want... but since my Switch is in the house I just do not really care anymore. It's a shame though... I really liked Zelda: A link between worlds.

switch has no backwards compatibility so it would make sense not to kill it off because the all of the previous gen pokemon games will be on it and they wouldn't want future players to miss out on those. switch is the first time a handheld has no backwards compatibility. you can play all the pokemon game except gen 3 on a 3ds with out hacking.

Every once in awhile, when I have my SD card mounted on my computer, I'll make a backup of it so I have the files.

To answer the OP, I don't use it as much as I'd like, but I get a spurt of a moment where I want to so I go through and update things, and then sometimes play a little and then stop....

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
