What accessories are must own for you?
Games.
Stylus
Buttons
polymer (non-glass) lower screen protector. It has to be soft so your touch is felt.
nice and precise.
In terms of cases the Hylian Adventures Pouch case works great for me. I have the same grip and top shell as you do in the video, the case fits my NN3DSXL snugly. There's no extra room for a charger, but I usually will put the 3ds case in a backpack anyways so I can store the charger elsewhere. Also the two extra long stylises it comes with are amazing, especially for the DS Zelda games.
Also note on the batteries. Just buy 1, unlike our modern batteries these will lose their charge as the years go on so no sense in hoarding like 3+ of them when in reality 1 would be more than enough!
iirc new 3dsxl uses the switch pro controller batteries, it'll be fine if so.
@@lolcat I almost certain the Switch PC uses the same battery as the 2DS/3DS and not the same as the 2 XL models.
@@lolcatPC, original 2DS, original 3DS use CTR-003
both original and new 3DS XL use SPR-003, a different battery
new 3DS (not XL) uses KTR-003
The 3DS will go down in history as one of the best gaming platforms. So many great games were on it. Yes you must get this accessories now I fear they will jump up in price just after a year. Great video as always dude.
It really has become my destination of choice for comfort gaming. I can’t get enough of it and I’m really worried where the prices will jump to next year when everything officially closes. Thanks for watching! Psyched you enjoyed it!
The Circle Pad Pro on Old 3DS systems are great. They feel like a grip and also have the benefit of camera controls in some games.
Honestly the grip covering the game card slot would be a lifesaver for me. I have accidentally dropped my 3DS a lot, and I cannot tell you how many times the game card has ejected itself, causing me to lose hours of progress. While it does make it a bit more inaccessible, it’s definitely good save data protection lmao
Dang that's a really good point. Really true haha
And if it’s modded I don’t need an empty slot so it covers up that eyesore which is nice lil
Nice to see there are still accessories and even a grip still available. All the old popular accessories have gotten pretty expensive, especially Hori stuff. Monster hunter grip is $100+, Hori duraflexi are $50-$100+, Hori screen protector $40-50+, etc. Even the old cyber gadget grip can go over $100.
Dang that's wild, but yeah 3ds scene is getting nuts
Dude that grip loose like a game changer! I bet it’s super comfy too! Gonna have to grab one myself soon! Thanks for showcasing some
Accessories brother! 🤘
Man it really was and they are cheap! Glad you enjoyed watching. Hope you week is going better
Bought the holder for the 3ds thanks to you. People it is a game changer. This little piece of plastic makes the 3ds xl enjoyable for hours. Thanks for the great video!!
Great to hear!
that DS camo backpack is so cool!! i love the design of it
I just bought my first 3ds last weekend and I can’t believe I slept on it all these years! It’s my favorite console of all time!!! I haven’t played my Xbox series x at all in the last month I’ve been busy playing retro games… so I’m totally digging this thing!
I have a grip for my switch and love it I’m going to look into a grip for the 3ds!
Great video!
I love the 3DS so much! Happy you are having a blast with it and thanks for watching!
@@HallowedBeThyGame the home brew really allows it to rock! I do wish there were more great 3D games. for me the 3D is not a gimmick it’s the way to play! I played one of the Mario vs donkey Kong in 3D and it was fantastic!!
@@voltageplayzgamez8715 I toggle the 3D on/off for my gaming experience. Very cool affect and does have it’s usage but it does make the vision/mind go wild after a bit of play.
I strongly recommend a PSP 3000 stick, you can easily replace the grey nub for this one. A game changer.
Yep, best 50 cents I've ever spent on gaming lol
But can it still close with that?
@@Kevin-jw9pd Yep, it closes perfectly fine.
@@franciscobutte really? maybe I'll buy it then,
If you guys psp 3000 cap, you have to cut it to make sure it will close but I still recommend a psp 1000 cap
Thank you for throwing this video in the 3DS game recommends playlist.
I really needed a reminder of the hardware side of things.
I upgraded my main 3DS to a 128GB microSD card, and it's been so worth it.
It was super easy to do, too.
Rock on that’s awesome!
I got 64GB (Enough for me at least lol)
@@KlaroNebulous32 me😢
256GB here. It works, but takes a while to boot.
Do you have no problems with your 128gb until today? When I searched about compatible sd cards, even 64gb seemed to be pushing it because 32gb was the maximum suggested size. (Unless proper formatting was performed then other sites suggested bigger sizes are compatible).
The extra battery recommendation is huge for sure. I picked an extra one up myself a few months ago after seeing pics of some failures (some looked like pillows lol). I may just need to get a new carrying case for mine too. I got a clear shell for mine and the case that I was using before is a bit too tight now. Thanks for the great tips as always HBTG!
It's crazy bc I had some friends tell me it happened to them and then I started reading about it happening more than I realized. Thanks for sharing your take on it! Thanks for watching!
as long as the switch pro controller is sold, i dont think we will have issues. they use the same battery
@@BooleanDev I’m almost certain the Switch PC uses the same battery as the 2DS/3DS and not the same as the 2 XL models.
@@thelastdragon5551 yea that's true. Eventually we will have to use third party batteries.
Hoarding batteries isn't a good idea since they degrade overtime, even when not in use
@@BooleanDev Yeah I only grabbed 1 of each. Kept both in a dark cool place. Bought both my 2DS and N3DSXL used. So no telling how long the batteries in them will last.
I've been playing the #DS a LOT lately and this was super helpful! Great content as always dude!
Glad to help! Friggin love this handheld
Thanks for the video. You know, I use one for my Switch, but I hadn't even considered getting a grip case for my 3DS!
Thanks for watching! I know I was the same way and then I was so psyched to see there’s grips for the 3ds lol
@@HallowedBeThyGame And now I've ordered what looks like an identical one to the one you have. Thank you for saving me from a future chronic hand complaint!
Awesome! Hope it is the game changer for you it was for me!
The extra battery tip really catches my attention. I would never have thought of buying an extra battery, considering that the batteries in my GameBoys are still doing fine. Although I am more interested in keeping my DS's alive as opposed to my GameBoys. Both the 3DS and the NEW 3DS models have different batteries so I'll have to pick one up for both since I have both. Hopefully I can buy both in a single order so I don't have to pay for shipping twice due to lithium ion battery shipping restrictions.
Bought my 3ds on launch and my battery already died in 2017 lol. Idk if I was unlucky or what. Never even dropped it
The extra battery thing is definitely worth it! I recently just got an extra battery, and it was great timing, as I popped the back cover off and found the original battery had started to expand! Spicy pillow in the making, lol. They're unfortunately going to be come harder and harder to find in the coming years, so definitely try to get an extra or two of backups.
Amazon?
That's amazings tips. Another recomendation can be a soft case, because is easier to put in some bags
That’s a good point, thanks for sharing!
im here for the 3ds content my guy!
Thanks for checking it out!
I'm very glad I got on ali express and ordered a bunch of stuff for my 2DS XL
Simple grip with kick stand, just like yours.
PSP thumb sticks to replace the stock C stick nub.
Screen protectors just because.
Clear hard shell, just using the top half, like you did.
Extendable metal stylus (Super important for the 2ds xl the stock stylus is barely a toothpick)
256 GB SD I'll never think about storage again, at the expense of boot time.
Now I'm looking at getting a bluetooth transmitter for the headphone jack. The 2DS XL speakers aren't very good. Thankfully the grip prevents my palms from blocking the sound, but still, my sony WHH900s would be much preferred
Bro your so right about the outer shell
Nice recommendations! I've never tried a grip for my handheld but with my big hands it might be something to consider! I wonder if they do one for 2DS XL? Yes a carrying case is a must if you bring that system on the go! Mine is similar to the black and blue 1st one you showed and yes it would be nice if it had space for the charger! Great video and keep up the good work!
I just had someone link me a 2DS XL grip so they are there. I'll update the description with a link to that grip. Thanks so much for watching!
Bro thank you so much for these recommendations and things im getting a 3ds soon because my brother broke my old one i saved up for a whole year to finally get a new one thank youuuu!
I'm so happy you're able to replace it! Have a wonderful time and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I did that exact plate grip combo (red plate). Glad im not the only one 😁
For those watching now I wouldn't recommend the grip at 2:00 When I first ordered it it arrived broken, so I returned it and was given a fixed one. The new one was also fragile since one of the back pieces that holds the DS came off after a month. As for comfort, I'd say it's fine, but I prefer the one made for the 2DS XL.
Very good recommendations, I already ordered the first two on ebay, I already have the crystalline plastic protector but I didn't like it because when playing long games it leaves a plastic smell in the hands, apart from that it takes a bit of a struggle to remove it, more than anything in the area of the screen.
I got 2dsxl so idk if these fit for those but definitely need a grip and a shell I got that turquoise case you showed lol.
I’m sure there’s options out there, you’ll have to let me know if it works for ya!
My gba sp is still going strong and i don't need a battery replacement only to resolder the battery terminals for some reason. One of my joycons went spicy pillow So batteries are random if they will fail or not.
Hey bud, great video.
What travel case do you use with the grip u have.
Thanks so much! I don't like to take the grip off so I just use the case at 5:26 as of late. Not perfect but has been nice for the charger/games. Have a good one!
I feel like an issue with some of these is that they take away one of the 3ds's portability, which is a huge one for many people
I own the OG 3DS, because the XL is too big for me and the "new" variants are just too expensive where i live, especially the standard new 3DS, as for accessories the OG models has a lot, just got myself a Circle Pad Pro at a good price, finally(it's really hard to find and usually expensive) now i want to get myself a new stylus and the charging dock.
Oh, an extra charger and cable are also important. Speaking from experience 😅💖 Very useful vid for all 3DS fan!
Hey, today's nerdy question for you...😁
What's the strangest combination in a video game that worked perfectly? (Like bowling mini game in a fighting game, or story in a rhythm game etc.)
Wish you loads of love and happiness buddy 💖
So happy you liked the video and thanks for the great recommendation! This is a great question…. Hmmm.. I would say tower defense mini game in FF7. I loved fort condor and found it surprisingly addictive. How about you?!
@@HallowedBeThyGame Its a wonderful video!😁💖👍 Oh and FF7s mini tower defense game was very good, though oddly presein an RPG...
Have 2 of them...
Deemo The Last Recital has a wordless story in a 90% rhythm game. But it gels so good and its very emotional despite being a bit out of place (P4DAN had it too, but with P4Gs backing and a whole lot of exposition.)
Metal Gear Solid Peacewalker is another one.....in which the final battle was against a giant, cold-war era, nuclear armed bipedal tank being piloted by a schoolgirl...and the OST? J-Pop!😅 'Love Deterrence' is such a confusing number to play in the midst of the action...but the beat suits the gameplay to the T 👌 MGS Peacewalker is one of my favorite games of all time...
Do you know a way to remove a stripped screw without damaging the 3DS? I tried to replace the battery, but a stubborn screw prevented me from opening it up
what is the music? do you have a link? Its sooo catchy
xD
Does the blue 3DS branded case hold a New XL?
The only problem with the outer shell is I won't be able to press the button on the pokemon 2dsxl
What is the largest size micro SD card the New Nintendo 3DS can utilize? I also recommend getting a lanyard for your 3DS. It prevents those slipped, knocked out of your hands moments.
128gb is usable but has reported slowdown issues. I think the sweet spot is 64gb for performance to utility.
Infinity as long as it's FAT32 formatted, but it has issues scaling. The bigger the card, the harder the 3DS has to work to load data off of it. The new 3DS is notably faster than the old 3DS in this regard. I'm at 256 GB and it does make the home screen a little slower to fully come in, but the difference is negligible
Late but it can go up to 2 tb. Realistically the most you should need is 256 gb unless you’re interested in downloading the entire hshop library and like every ds game, etc lol
Most people will do fine with 128 gb though. 256 is a big overkill but I like never having to worry at all about storage
I clicked for the grip, but that's for NEW 3ds - I didn't see one for regular 3ds xl on Amazon
I’d recommend looking into the Nintendo 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro.
I've been trying to find a case for my original 3ds for ages, the only one I've found people have said it can get stuck. I think I'm just gonna have to keep it naked.
As an owner of a broken new 3ds, It's been so painful trying to find a replacement motherboard because you either have to trust aliexpress or buy another broken unit. The one time I did find a replacement, I had it working for about 2 weeks before I fried the motherboard trying to install a new wifi antenna 🤦♂. As a side note, I don't think batteries will get that much more expensive, since there are already manufacturers making aftermarket batteries, including iFixit.
I grabbed an official battery directly from the Nintendo store just recently. Love this system enough to keep it alive long enough.
@@thelastdragon5551isn’t that just the original 3DS battery though? Not super useful for the others
@@IceBlueLugia I think it’s the same. I also have two 2DSs and they use the same battery as the Switch Pro Controller. So I’m hoarding all these batteries to keep the 2DS/3DS line alive as long as possible. 😝
for me the only must have is protective screen & spare stylus
anything else only make my 3ds bulkier & defeat the purpose of portable console
Anything for the New 3DS (not XL) only?
I wanna buy that grip but I have a new 3ds standard not the xl
Thanks man. Great video. I have one question. Maybe I'm being paranoid or maybe I'm not. I bought a 64 GB SD card and I'm totally good on space. However, what happens if that SD card decides to crap out on me one day? Do you think that could happen? What can I do to preserve my 3ds legacy?
There have been issues where SD cards can die out. It wouldn't be the worst idea to make a copy of your saves and SD card to external storage or even another card as a fail safe. Great point I hadn't considered mentioning.
@@HallowedBeThyGame I'm just trying to play it safe. This system is a gem and I want to always have access to it. Thanks. I may just play it safe and buy another SD card AND my external HD. Yolo.
All storage has a life expectancy. Just create a backup of the data every so often. If you install homebrew, applications like Checkpoint and JKSM will even let you create multiple manual save backups easily
Quick Question is there actual Size Differences between the New 3DS XL vs The Other One Due To There is an Accessory Call Circle Pad Pro And Was Wondering If it fits the newest 3Ds and does it work with all games? Please And Thank You.
No the circle pad pro only fits the og 3ds xl, but you could do a psp 1000 joystick cap mod to replace the c-stick. I did it to mine and it was completely worth it
How would you store the battery correctly
When I run a 128GB SD card and take the hit on initial loading times 😂😅
i wish i could purchase the battery from nintendo but they don’t ship to puerto rico 🤦🏻♀️do you recommend another place to get them?
Dang I'm sorry it isn't available. I know amazon does have some but unfortunately I don't have any verified links to send you. I'll keep an eye out and come back to this comment if I can find anything.
it feels like im obliged to comment on this video, just want to share my thoughts on the 1st must have item, please for the love of god get the hard plastic or fiberglass outer shell, not the rubbery and flimsy plasticky one. I stored mine for 3 years with the cheap one thinking it will preserve the 3ds itself, it was gloopy and disintegrated after 3 years, good thing it didnt affect the 3ds on any other way but man I did some thorough cleaning afterwards
Oh gosh this is really good to know! Sorry that happened to you but thanks for sharing!
See im not worried about future batteries a console that is love so much will always have a supply official or otherwise, look at the gba sp you can buy batteries nearly 22 years later. The Internet will keep your aging consoles alive well into the future.
You can get more than 64 gb of storage on the 3ds but honestly it's a bit much but worth considering
I've got a 256 GB from a huge sale and yeah I never have to think about it ever again. I could install every game worth considering with space left over.
Since you use a bag for your 3ds would a regular bag be safe enough for it because I can’t find any of those bags for cheap
Oh for sure that'd work! Tons of alternate options
Ok thanks for the tip!
I just purchased the outer shell and the grip. So I assume that you can't combine the backside of the outer shell with the grip???
Basically, I can only use the top side of the shell with the grip, is that correct?
If so, does the grip scratch the 3ds? It does not have the soft material that the shell has. Thx. 😁
That's correct, top portion of shell combined with grip. I've had no scratching issues with my grip and 3ds. Hope you enjoy!
@@HallowedBeThyGame sweet deal! Thank you for that confirmation and the recommendation! Take it easy! ✌️
No problem and you as well!
I have a shell, carrying case, micro SD card, and screen protector, but I should look into a grip and grab some spare batteries.
Nice! you'll have to let me know what ya think of the grip if ya pick one up.
@@HallowedBeThyGame A follow up. The 2DS XL grip has been great! It also has clear access to the game card slot so I don't have to remove the grip to change the game I'm playing.
Damn, bought an outer shell from TNP and it doesn't even fit sadge
what is the game at 7:44 called?
Is good for big hands?
**cries in 2DS**
what game trailer is being showed at 7:28?
Bravely Default
@@HallowedBeThyGame thanks man! great video btw!
My 3ds is 89% red and 12% black
7:10 MY BATTERY BARELY HOLDS A CHARGE I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE CHARGER ON Xd ... Damn caps
If u have digital games it doesn't matter for the grip
What was the 3Ds game at the end of the video
Langrisser Reincarnation Tensei
@@HallowedBeThyGame thankyou!
What games are featured in the video?
Specifically at 6:26 And 7:56
What's the game playing in 6:15?
Ever Oasis
@@HallowedBeThyGame ty ty ^^
This is just me, but an accessory I recommend would be a headphone amplifier. They are affordable. The reason being is the audio on the 3ds is pretty weak, and when you plug in headphones, many games dont really give you that "umph". If you get a headphone amplifier, it really takes it to the next level, a good example would be SMT4 apoc where the music is so banging you'd regret not having a headphone amp.
It's not just you. Before I bought a set of Avantree HT4189 wireless bluetooth amplified headphones, I could barely hear the in-game dialog and the loudest sound level was extremely low. With the Avantree HT4189 headphones, the sound is loud and crystal clear.
@@mitchellazevedo6637 Hell yea
Which game is it at 7:45??
Fantasy Life
The batteries are sold out 😭
Is youre 3ds modded
Bruh don’t fret about parts! Look at the GBA. Aftermarket is NUTS. Ds is next, you know our classic 3ds will get it as well if some company makes a battery that works, then it’s not a bad product after all! This is more reason for Nintendo to STOP UPDATING TO COMBAT CFW.
Serious I still see updates.
1. Absolute trash shell and I’ve had the same one and it was all bent when it arrived in the mail
2. Still waiting for mine
3. Carrying case yeah
4. No shit sd cards
5. Battery yeah, they’re cheap on Amazon right now and this is an actual good suggestion
6. Useless screen protector, don’t need it
chill bruh
Game slot? LOL Who even uses that? 🤣
only thing that sucked about this video was this dude saying he has "OCD" and gets bugged when there's a scrath. that's not OCD, you just want stuff to look neat...
What happen fi i put a circle pad pro to a new 3 ds witch have the c stik
Skip to 00:45. Dude takes 45 seconds on an intro
🤣
I upgraded my main 3DS to a 128GB microSD card, and it's been so worth it.
It was super easy to do, too.
Even though a 128gb sd card isnt exactly needed, its certainly worth it if you want to fill up your console with totally legit and legal games 😉
