Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (Japanese: ニンテンドー3DS, Hepburn: Nintendō Surī Dī Esu, abbreviated to 3DS) is a portable game console produced by Nintendo. It is capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D effects without the use of 3D glasses or additional accessories. Nintendo announced the device in March 2010 and officially unveiled it at E3 2010 on June 15, 2010. The console succeeds the Nintendo DS, featuring backward compatibility with older Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi video games. The Nintendo 3DS' main competitor is Sony's PlayStation Vita system.

Saved!When the eshop shutdown was coming I was angsting over whether I should buy the Dillon's Rolling Western games. Ultimately I decided no. But now I'm at this very same place wondering if I should hack the 3DS and it would mostly be to try those games. (Because really what else is there??)
They should just port them to Switch already. But somehow I doubt it will ever happen. The game was left to rot as a 3DS eshop exclusive and will fade to obscurity forever. But at the same time, it was apparently good enough that it got two sequels. Make it make sense.
The games probably suck (it's tower defense.. come on) but in the back of my mind I'll always be wondering "what if."-

Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … EX troopers is one I didn't know about. Peak anime. Burning Rangers vibes. But it looks potentially meh upon closer look. It's like a hunting game, with a lobby you navigate between missions. It resembles Phantasy Star Portable 2 except you're limited to guns. So I'd actually still prioritize Dillon.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Dillon has had THREE GAMES so logically they would improve on things each time. It's scientifically improbable that all three would suck! xD
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I gave Minecraft 3DS a try to see how it was, how it ran and what they had to downgrade, and I ended up spending a pretty long time playing it. Built myself a three-story house with a basement.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Minecraft is on Vita. I'd imagine that would just be better. There's even an "enhanced edition" mod. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOxPBpqfP50 But these builder games don't appeal to me. E.g. Dragon Quest Builders, Terraria, which are on Vita also. I found them really stupid actually. Does Minecraft even have a campaign/story?
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Oh, the third Dillon game uses traditional controls. The graphics look a million times better too. Change in plans, I only care about the third game now.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … No campaign, just the sandbox.

Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … there be exactly three good games on the system and you don't even have one of them!
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … The Louvre guide kicks ass. Also I installed a bunch of custom themes, and now I hear music from Howl's Moving Castle on the home screen!
-
Saved!SandvichEditing … I honestly think the majority of my time on my 3DS has been spent finishing off old DS games. Most 3DS games just didn't grab me.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Today I'm hoping to figure out how DS games work on 3DS cfw. I'll find out if I can store them internally, or if I need to get an external R4 card.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I just booted up a DSi XL i bought two years ago but never used, and found it had none of the preinstalled software on it. But it turns out modding a DSi is stupid easy. I should try it! https://m.youtube.com/shorts/r-G9ob28tkg EDIT: derp, it doesn't tell me how to get DSiware. The rom sites I know only have cart based games. EDIT: oh, archive.org
-
-
Saved!Considering hacking my New 3DS XL. If I do I'd have hacked three different handhelds (PSP, Vita, 3DS) and that would be impressive! All that would be left after that is the Switch Lite, lol.
Just one problem though, I don't know where to get 3DS games? And if I don't know that then it kind of defeats the point..-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I finally bought a couple MicroSDs (and SD2Vita) for my New 3DS XL and PS Vita. When I get around to hacking them, I'll let you know where I'm finding games.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … You hacked your Switch right? I was trying to find out if there are any tweaks available that fixes the Switch's problems. I lucked out with the Vita- there are plugins for lowering the brightness (PSP also has one for this) and for removing the lock screen, which are exactly what I wanted. I hear there's even a color saturation mod for the slim model. (Although this was Sony's doing, the mod merely unhides it) I'm not confident about the Switch though because my demands seem to be specific to me. (Oh, come to think of it, I should start with more common wants like button remapping for games. If there is no plugin for that, it's safe to say there won't be one for the other things I want.) But another concern is my save file. My Pokemon save is locked to the system so I wouldn't want to do anything to the system that might compromise my ability to export it later.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Maybe I buy a v1 Switch and hack that assuming those are easier to hack. Then I could buy third party joycons that suck less which would at least make the Switch somewhat better.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I think launch Switches are the *only* hackable Switches. You want one with a serial number indicating it's unpatched (hardware patch, not software patch) https://suchmememanyskill.github.io/guides/switchserials/
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Ok i just asked on a forum and a user points out that none of the things I want are possible on a hacked Switch. That's that I guess. No need to waste my time on it. Maybe I'll buy myself a steam deck instead.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … hshop seems to be a good source for games. Even lets you install directly to the 3DS via QR code, seems to have their own app for 3DS too.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Downloading via their 3DS client is great, it has a feature to queue up downloads.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … ok, looks like i have a reason to do it then. This could be interesting..
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Pretty much every download for a modded 3DS is available as a QR code. It's really sick. Homebrew tools and custom themes.
-
-
Saved!Excellent. This hacking guide was released only a month ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttHCJ1oFpDc-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … There are so many fucking steps. Lot of trouble to go through just to remove region lock. It would be easier to buy a US 2DS. And it would save me from having to buy an SD card adapter.

Saved!Finished Parascientific Escape 2. Except my detective made all the wrong choices and my hot client killed herself. Well...thanks.
I mean, sure, I did say that I would marry my kid assistant. But that was a joke, man. Sheesh. Now I have to live with that guilt. And play it over again to get the good ending.

Saved!What the hell is this 3DS series that's on sale? Parascientific Escape: Cruise in the Distant Seas...? Received an 8/10 from Nintendo Life?
https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds-eshop/parascientific_escape_cruise_in_the_distant_seas
So I played Parascientific Escape 1. It's indie as hell and the anime graphics aren't really that impressive. However, the scriptwriters came up with a tense scenario where psychic girls are trapped on a sinking cruise ship...Wait, this is just a ripoff of Zero Escape. Anyways, it feels cool to play as a geeky, telekinetic psychic who can solve sliding block puzzles hidden inside safes or something.
Pretty impressive for a $2.50 adventure. Yeah, it's only three hours, but I still enjoyed the hell out of that playthrough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFrrDzvTeL4-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … At a price point as low as that, I'd give anything a fair shot. I haven't played anything like that since the Zero Escape series.
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … Tl;dr version: Parascientific Escape is weeb garbage, but it's good weeb garbage. It's only $5? Maybe $2.50 when it goes on sale? Anyways, just get it.
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … Half of the scenario was ripped off of Zero Escape, but I still enjoyed what I played. I mean, the production values were cheap as hell. And I could tell that this was some scrappy indie project. However, I couldn't help laughing at one of the character designs. I mean, there's a dumb rabbit mascot person. She represents some mega-corporation secretly involved in...arms dealing or something.
-
-
Saved!...I still haven't sold my system, btw. Ever since I moved to the Switch, I've really missed my 3DS. 2DS. Whatever. It's got a freaking clamshell design, so that automatically makes it the best portable system ever made.
We also need more Etrian Odyssey games, dammit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWJq0EsvbU8-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … Dungeon Crawlers scare me. Is there a "babies first dungeon crawler" that I could try?
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … That would probably seem more cute if non dungeon crawler rpgs that unironically used random encounters didn't still exist. (Octopath, FFX/X-2, WoFF, Tales, Star Ocean, Enchanted Arms, DQ, Digimon, Pokemon, etc.)
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … I think the first Etrian Odyssey is as easy as it gets. The 3DS version also has a neat "Story Mode" that they added with Madhouse anime cutscenes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh8uEvcP-Aw
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … For whatever reason, I don't like playing through dungeon crawlers on other portable systems. I haven't even touched my PSP in the last few years, because it doesn't have a clamshell lid.
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … Clamshells are always fun. I rarely take my handhelds outside of the house tbh.
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … Yeah, but I think the clamshell idea just made the controller a lot more durable. I hate how everything just feels more fragile on the Switch. I actually had to reattach the joystick once for Switch Lite. That was nerve-wrecking.
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … Also, the stupid rubber tops on the Switch joysticks keep falling off. I thought the analog nub on the 3DS was nice. Nintendo could've just stuck with that, but no...
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … I've heard the PS4 controllers have the same issue. I mean, I haven't witnessed it personally, but heard a few tales.
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … Maybe my PS4 controller has really good spokes on the bottom of the rubber top. I mean, it's stayed on better than my PS2 controller...Anyways, I just ditched the rubber tops for the Switch joysticks, because most of them never stay on. So now they're as naked as that dank N64 joystick.

Saved!Hmm...I can't add comments to my previous comment on the 3DS page...
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I can't add comments to it either. Wonder what blocks us from doing it, but allows rukky?

Saved!Husky WingEditing … I tried to @@Nodley in its comments, but when I hit enter it uncovered the @ formatting, and each time I hit enter after it added a... well, see for yourself https://i.imgur.com/QwVqBW9.png

Saved!Sigh...I really want to sell this system. The touch screen is freakin' shoddy. However, it has a bunch of classic NES games, Etrian Odyssey 1 and Devil Survivor Overclocked.
Meh. This would all be easier if Nintendo kept Virtual Console on the Switch.-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I'm selling mine. I just have to finish hard mode and the extra and survival missions in the plus version of Ace Combat. (which I already did in the non-Plus version, but I want to be sure about whether there is any extra content in Plus)
