How the Nintendo 3DS is Mind Blowing!

the nintendo 3ds i still remember buying it with my papa john's tip money like it was yesterday this was one of nintendo's best handhelds and it took the idea of 3d and kind of ran with it but anyway let's get into why the 3ds is mind blowing ice 3d without the 3d glasses now that's rad there's also a 3d camera which honestly wasn't that great but they tried i'll give them points for that with the photos you take you can also add stamps and notes gotta love those little touches and with the cameras you can also use those ar cards which is somewhat neat more of a tech demo but still neat the 3ds is fully compatible with ds games and that system has an incredible library as it is being able to store data in games on an sd card is super convenient and was new for nintendo handhelds at the time there truly was nothing better than bringing your 3ds to a convention with street pass on and you're trying to fill your me plaza and you're completing the puzzles and playing the games ah such a fun and memorable time themes you can change how your menu looks with custom themes you can even make folders to put your games and apps in now look i get why the switch doesn't have this they want their menu to be fast and clean but folders and some new colors for themes would be appreciated at the bare minimum the 3ds sound app is pretty interesting too you can basically record yourself and then edit it in a lot of ways like changing the pitch or sounding like a parakeet you can still make me's on 3ds as well and it's just as robust as it was on wii and wii u the 3ds eshop honestly has a slapping soundtrack it's pretty underrated [Music] and i love how it's laid out too it's a touch unorganized but it has categories for best sellers games on sale demos indies virtual console and so on and so forth the virtual console itself is pretty good too with a lot of game boy game boy color game gear and nes games it's also super cool that you can download every generation 1 and 2 pokemon game there's nest games as well but it's only for the new nintendo 3ds systems which is still kind of weird you can change the colors of the game boy virtual console games from black and white to the classic monochrome green it's really cool how you unwrap a 3ds game you digitally buy something about that is so charming i don't really like the circle pad that much but that d-pad is so nice feels so clicky and premium every version of the 3ds uses the same charging cable you don't know how awesome that is after putting up with the ds lineup constantly changing them the 3ds stylus may be on the small side but at least you can extend it so it fits your hand better and every stylus besides the new 2ds xl are just right and feel great when it comes to the 3ds bigger truly meant better the 3ds xl is one of my favorite nintendo handhelds with screens that are bigger the start home and select buttons click better and the battery lasts longer there are some truly beautiful variants of the 3ds xl2 like that smash bros one is so pretty with all the characters lined up in the back and the pokemon x and y ones with the legendaries all stenciled up look super crisp the 2ds is definitely a strange console but you know what the button for turning the sleep on and off is better than what the other 3dss have and those transparent 3ds's with the pokemon games just oh god they've got such a nice aesthetic the lack of a second circle pad was a bit disappointing on the original 3ds but at least we got a circle pad pro which did help with a few games but then there's the new 3ds which of course adds a second circle pad well kind of the extra zrnz yell buttons are pretty nice though i really like how the 2ds says home button was adopted to the new 3ds and xl versions it's more distinct and just looks nicer in general and those colored buttons that replicate the snes controller this i very much appreciate but the new 3ds also enhanced the 3d effect make it better and there's more processing power so things load faster plus amiibo work with the new consoles instead of needing an nfc reader to scan them into games the new 2ds6l is an overcomplicated name but my god is this a sleek console the top portion now looks completely clean while the bottom moves the home button to a better spot all of this and we haven't even touched on the insane game library we've got super mario 3d land mario kart 7 new super mario bros 2 kirby triple deluxe i'm playing at robobot ultimate nes remix metopia animal crossing new leaf ocarina of time majora's mask and star fox all in 3d smash bros for 3ds fire emblem fates legend of zelda link between worlds kid icarus uprising and the list quite literally goes on and on and on this will probably be the last dedicated handheld we ever get from nintendo especially considering the switch has been so successful as a hybrid so let's just take a minute to appreciate what the 3ds has given us thanks for watching [Music]
