Forgotten Game?

Hey I've been trying to find this game that I used to play on my 3ds when I was a kid. It's was a metroidvania kinda game that had very robot looking characters. I bought it off the eShop all those years back. If anyone knows could you tell me what game it is?

Where are we buying physical games now?

Haven’t checked the market since the EShop closed and the cheapest copies of Tomodachi Life I can find are like $150 used conditions.

Need some help.

Hello, everybody! Kind of need some help with this one. My 3DS XL (older model) keeps crashing and the date is stuck in 2011 for some reason. Is that, by any chance, an issue with the battery? And can I get it fixed with a replacement? Please let me know. Thanks so much!

Is a 3DS Xl a good purchase for a kids gift in 2024?

I have a sister who is going to be turning 8 soon and she really wants a PlayStation 5 but I think it’s a bit early for one. She has a Nintendo switch as well but she’s finished all the Mario games and a lot of other games on it as well and doesn’t like playing multiplayer. I remembered having a 3DS growing up and how much fun they were, playing Nintendogs, animal crossing, and other fun games and I’m now considering getting her one for her upcoming birthday. However I just can’t decide if it’s worth hashing out the 200$ for a console that no longer has a E-store or any online feature. If anyone could give me any input as too weather it would be a good purchase or not it would be much appreciated. Also if you have any games that a 8 year old kid would be able to play/enjoy let me know as well!

Lost 3DS Found on Boston to New York Bus!

Hi everyone, trying my luck here.

A family member of mine found a 3DS on the floor of a bus a week ago and it had just made its way to me. Felt that posting it online would make it more likely that the 3DS would return to its owner, rather than the lost and found of the bus at a random stop, if it could even make its way there. Here are some details on where it was found and details, please let me know if y'all have any leads! There are photos (presumably of the owner), so the real will be easily proved.

  • Peter Pan Bus, Schedule 5721 (Carrier PPB). Family member departed from 10:00 AM Boston (South Station) to New York (PABT), 2:20 PM. There is a chance that this bus took a different route when lost. This was on 10/24/2024.
  • Black 3DS with a sticker, Game card inserted

Additionally, it would be greatly appreciated if the community has any tips on where to cross-post, or any extra info on the 3DS if details on the owner could be identified on the 3DS. I don't post regularly on Reddit, so it would be nice to get some tips (and help crossposting if I don't have enough karma)! I will try to get back to any questions as well, also let me know if this post isn't allowed and I will remove it. To the owner, please DM me and we can arrange a pickup/shipment!

Does anyone know if Novus Plastic Polish is okay for a 3ds screen?

There's a few more scratches that bother me, they just weren't picked up on the camera.

If there's a better way to fix it or a different kind of polish I should use I'm open to that as well

Replacement Stylus New Nintendo 3DS White (Smaller Size)

Hello!

I've bought the smaller version of the new Nintendo 3DS in white second hand but it doesn't come with a stylus. I'm trying to find a replacement, but I can only seem to find 3DS XL replacements or stylus for DSi/Lite on eBay/Amazon.

Do the DSi/Lite Stylus fit in the smaller New N3DS slot? Any links to ones that are designed to replace NN3DS stylus would be greatly appreciated!

I need help with a certain shell color

I have a 2012 red 3ds xl and I want to change the top and bottom panel to a lime green but they only make that for the New 3ds xl. I looked for some but I can't find any. I don't wanna use a skin because it doesn't cover everything. Does anyone know where I can find this color?
