  • Showing more love for the Nintendo 3DS! Here are 14 of my go-to cozy games for this amazing little handheld that I'm still enjoying in 2022. Some are either pretty challenging to find physical copies for or are just being sold for a lot of $$ so I also highly recommend checking them out out on the eShop while you still can! What games are you still playing on your 3DS?? 💕
    PS, please excuse the WIP office space lol... I really missed filming here but a new desk tour will be coming soon with a more finished look!! x

      The sad thing is the fact that handheld consoles in general are kind of fading away for hybrid options. Like the switch might technically be a handheld but it's still pretty big and impractical to carry around. I'll miss the old dedicated handheld with their graphical limitations that spawned a lot games wed not have gotten otherwise.

The first game boy Kirby is the only one I ever finished so far. I would add the style savvy and Disney magical world games to this list plus the DS rune factory games which are playable on 3ds if they can be found. Not really cozy but since you like monster taming/catching have you played any of the shin megami tensei or persona games on any system?

      There are only a couple games that are “exclusive” to the new models since they need the c-stick, but you can play the rest of the 3ds library plus the ds library with backwards compatibility on either. So you’d be getting tons of value out of the older model 3ds, plus your money saved can go toward games instead! If you’re not on a budget though, I do like the newer model 3ds mostly for the more sleek body design 😄

    Seriously, this video and your other 3ds and retro games videos has got me into collecting the gameboy handhelds too! Goodbye money đŸ„ČđŸ€Ł I never had any gameboy as a kid (used to play on my friend’s gameboy as we took turns lol), so I’m kinda happy to get a hold of some pre-loved gameboy handhelds now â˜ș
    Not exactly 3ds related but do you and all you guys also have some recommended cozy and/or cute games on the GBA? Out of the gameboy line, the GBA SP is now my favorite. I’m currently playing Zelda: The Minish Cap and I’m also having fun on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance too! If you guys have other recommended games like those, I’d be happy to go and check them out! â˜ș Thanks in advance!
