Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Anybody else still have the orignal 3DS?

Yes.



Around the Network

Aqua blue owner here...
My boyfriend has the red one...
I wanted the purple one, but I would have ended up waiting forever...
Mine has a bunch if minor issues; the day after I decided to replace it, Nintendo revealed the New 3DS...
I figured I could wait a little while longer...



Have a nice day...

Yes, and I wish I had a 2ds



Yes, I stick to the original 3DS.

It has immensely superior build quality compared to the 3DS XL and 2DS models.

I have the Zelda 25th anniversary one, while my girlfriend has the pink one.



Not me. traded in original for $100. Bought a Xl with Mario Kart for $150.

So cost me like $10-20 to upgrade I guess.

Well, considering the New 3DS hasn't launched in all regions yet, I'd imagine most 3DS owners have the original or XL. I don't plan to buy the New 3DS when it launches in here in the US, unless it gets a must-have game for me.

I still own the standard 3DS. I'm not interested in the XL, because I feel there's no reason to pay more for a bigger screen if the resolution is the same.

I will almost certainly hold on to my current 3DS anyway, since the Cobalt Blue color had limited availability in North America (Curse you Nintendo, for region locking!)

Yup, and mine is in horrible condition. I got the Flame Red version with Mario 3D Land for Christmas. The stylus is jammed in the wrong way (most likely stuck forever), there's scratches on the red glossy back, paint chipped off, and the top screen has vertical lines on both sides from rubbing against the tough screen while the system is closed. I haven't replaced it because:
1) I have much better things to spend money on than a new version of a system I already own.
2) I've grown an emotional attachment to the thing.
3) I need a system that can also play DS games.



I still have the original DS.

I still have my original black model. I usually don't buy hardware early in the life-cycle, but I made an exception based on the announced games (Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Tales), and was satisfied by that. The XL looked way too big for me, and I never had any interest in the 2DS model.

Mine still works great, minus a few bugs. The L-button doesn't work properly unless I blow on it, which is annoying, but fortunately the only games I own that require it are compatible with the Circle Pad Pro. There's also some smudges on the screen from the raised lower screen, though that's pretty minor. Seeing as how I've had it for 3 years and I've gotten more use out of it than my Wii/U/PS3, I have a buttload of digital content on it, so if I were to upgrade to a newer model, I'd need a way to transfer everything over. If there isn't an option for that, I'll likely just wait for the official successor to the 3DS. I lasted the whole 7th gen on my DS Phat, I don't see an issue with keeping the original 3DS for this entire gen.

Yep, I don't play enough 3DS to even consider buying a XL. Also, I want it to fit in my pocket easily.
