When I bought my orig v1 Switch years ago, I give my New 3DS XL to my nephew. Then, I didn't hack the 3DS at all, just had bunch of bought shop games, and a few carts. Well last weekend while over visiting with him, I asked about the 3DS and he said he hasn't touch it in months, (he has Switch now too) so I took it back.
And boy am I glad I did...I had no idea what you can do with these nowdays. CFW, Retroarch, and tons of homebrew. I almost forgot how fun this thing is. Don't get me wrong, I love my Switch, but the 3DS was a great device. Fits perfectly in my pocket, for on the go, with little to no worries of breaking it, unlike the Switch. Yea the finger button placement is def smaller, gives me cramps if play for long, but still I love this thing. I think I'm gonna keep it in my collection from here on. I'm gonna order a new battery for it, just because, been few years on this one. Ok thanks for reading. Game On!
