No basic questions or those covered in the wiki. Questions which can be quickly answered via a Google search or those which have been addressed in the wiki must be directed to the Weekly Question Thread. This includes game recommendations and tech support topics.
Threads must follow content guidelines. No NSFW content, low-effort posts, vague or misleading titles, reposts, image only, or friend code / request posts.
No spoilers in post titles. Posts with spoilers in the title will be removed. If your comment contains a spoiler, hide it using:
>!This is a spoiler.!<Do not LINK to pirated, hacked, or otherwise illegal content. Discussion of homebrew and flash carts are allowed.
No trading, selling, buying, or begging. This includes links to third party selling sites.
No excessive self-promotion; No affiliate links. Self-promotion must be within 10% of all threads and comments reddit-wide, read Reddit's Self-Promotion guidelines for more information. No affiliate links of any kind, ever.
Link to original source. News, speculation, rumors, etc must always link to the original source of the information. No blogspam or similar.

No Piracy No piracy, including linking piracy resources, naming piracy resources or tools, promotion of or admission of piracy, requesting support for pirated content, etc. Piracy, for clearer definition, is the production and/or distribution of new copies of a copyrighted work without the authorization of the copyright owner regardless of price, including demos/updates.

New 3DS XL accessories
I’ve got a new 3ds xl and I’m just wondering if anyone can recommend a good charging dock for it. Also is there any good supplier of skins for a new 3ds xl?
Thanks

I want to get a sealed/brand new New 3DS, but that seems impossible
Even in japanese Amazon and eBay, I can only find at most slightly used consoles, mostly with their box but still having telltale signs of use such as screen scratches and wear stains around face buttons. I’ve been looking for quite a while now and I’m getting tired of it… it’s kinda unbelievable to think there are no more sealed consoles in the world like those websites makes it look like.

2DS Grip?
UK based and looking for something to help hold my 2DS for extended periods of time.
Etsy seems expensive for what you get.
I did see some Nerf cases with grips but can't find them for sale.
Any suggestions?

2ds Back Stylus Cover
I am desperately looking for this part. I have almost given up. PLEASE let me know if you've seen it. Not really looking to but a whole shell.

Got a decal and charm of my favorite version of Charizard, to customize my 3ds xl.
Basically title, what do you guys think? It's holographic blue, so at certain angles it's bright blue!

Found this on vacation
On my grad trip. My mom wanted to stop at an antique store that gets a whole bunch of Disney props and stuff. Found a retro store in a mall across the road and they had this for a pretty decent price considering what I've seen online. It had been opened, but it has never been used. There is no wear on any aspect of it. Looks like the dude set it up, but never used it. Still has his account logged in and it has Red, Blue, yellow, Crystal, Spanish version Silver, Bank, Transporter, and Super Mario Bros 1-3.

Facebook Marketplace is a good option.
I got the one on the right from mexican ebay for about 200 USD... and a couple days later a Facebook Marketplace post had the one on the left for 80 USD (they were describing it as a regular 3ds, I guess that is why it was so cheap).
My advice is to keep an eye on your local listings, it might take time but you'll definitely get a better deal.

Loose R Trigger on N3DS XL
Is it normal to have one trigger loser than the other. The L trigger is very stuff and the button has an almost instant press but the R trigger is looser and has a bit of an extra travel distance before actuation. The R button is closer feeling to the ZL and ZR however. Any suggestions or is sometimes normal?
I have been playing a lot of MK7 recently.
