Hello guys, I need some advice from you. Here's the thing, my brother has an o3DS since launch and a lot of games for it. Recently he got the Switch. I was thinking to get him a new 3DS xl limited edition for his birthday as an upgrade from the old o3DS or more Switch stuff like game, controller etc.

I'm not sure if it's worth buying a new 3DS in 2017. What do you suggest is better, more Switch stuff or a 3DS upgrade? Thanks!

If money isn't an issue (I guess if it wasn't an issue, you'd just buy both:unsure:), buy him Switch stuff. If you can find cheap 3DS stuff, do that, but it seems he's happy with Switch.

Yeah unfortunately I can't afford to buy both.

He is not playing much I would say on 3DS now that he's got the Switch.

I'm getting him Switch stuff then, thanks for the replies!

    maybe the screenless ones are a good value, but they charge apple prices for ones with, honestly as an artist they're kinda overrated
