Speaking as someone who hasn't owned a DS since the original DSi launched in 2008, I haven't played any of Nintendo's more recent handheld offerings as I don't have a bus commute anymore.
Recently I was thinking of getting something to play when I'm relaxing on the couch after the kids are in bed. 90% of my gaming is done on my PC nowadays and running a cable or steam link to the TV isn't as appealing anymore. I'm looking for something that I can pick up and play while relaxing and quickly pause if needed. I looked into a Switch but the price is still higher than I'd like at the moment.
The newer style 3DS popped up in my attempt to search for alternatives and I am seriously considering it now. Is it still a good buy nowadays? With some newer renditions of Mario Maker, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros hitting the Switch are the previous versions of the games on 3DS still worth looking into?
