    A while back this channel was mostly dedicated to covering “console variants”. Different colors and models of consoles.
    Overtime I started to fall out of this, mostly because, well, time. Was taking too long to make these vids, but I feel it’s worth going back to.
    So today I’m doing the original Nintendo 3DS.
    I will follow this up later with a 2DS, New 3DS, and all that other fun stuff, but to give each console more than just a passing glance, this is the compromise I decided to make.

      Can you please upload your videos to Odysee too for those of us that like your videos but don't like youtube? You can link your youtube account to an Odysee account so when you upload to youtube it automatically does the same on Odysee. Just please at least take a glance at it for us. Some other youtubers like Solid JJ and SomeOrdinaryGamers have linked accounts too.

      ​@@nottucks this could just be because I wear slacks instead of jeans, but my Switch will actually fit in my pocket with the Joy Cons still attached. Not that I'd be confident enough for that, I put it in a hard case and carry that in my backpack.

    The word you're looking for to describe the special edition designs added to pre-existing colours is probably "tampo" (as in tampography, pad printing) as that's what is used on diecast cars (Hot Wheels). Except in the rare case where it literally is a sticker.

    6:51 This was actually going to be my first 3ds since it's my favorite color. That was until the Pokemon XY editions came out and went with that instead. I don't regret my decision since that limited edition looks incredible, but a part of me wishes I went with the purple even if it would've had less battery than the XL.

    In regards to the glossy finishes being prone to finger prints, I don't really feel like that's a big issue? I checked my metallic red example and the finger prints are barely visible, maybe even because of the flake effect.

    @michaele1654 Před 4 měsíci

    My favorite variants are the New 2DS ones. They're all, like, textured? The Dragon Quest Slime and Minecraft Creeper live in my brain rent-free. Looking again, there are also amazing ones based on the Pokeball, Hylian Shield, and Animal Crossing. To be honest, the Animal Crossing New 2DS might be the best-looking video game system that I've ever seen (especially since the Animal Crossing 3DS XL is so ugly. It's like a pop tart, lol)...
    Also this model was first released in late 2017 and all of the special colors were probably released around 2018, so it was basically Nintendo's hedge for if the Switch flopped. The 3DS in 2017-2019 was an interesting console. Games like Fire Emblem Warriors, Sushi Striker, and Captain Toad simultaneously came out on Switch and 3DS. There were also some simply top notch releases in that era, including Metroid: Samus Returns and Fire Emblem Echoes. Plus, around then, we had the long-awaited arrival of SNES and Pokemon on virtual console. If you were still playing 3DS in 2018, it was arguably some of the best years that the console ever had? Weird...

  • @KanaevM

      For the base model 3DS specifically, Europe actually got more options than America did for one. But yes, in general, the US market tends to get more because gaming is just more prevalent here despite the US and the EU having roughly similar populations.
