Time flies. Probably the only and maybe last system that I got day one (and midnight at that). Enjoyed Pilotwings at the time.
Nintendo 3DS turns 10 years old
- Thread starter MysticGon
- Start date
Holy shit it did NOT feel like ten years. I actually happened to use my launch 3DS this morning as an alarm clock with WarioWare Gold (usually use my New 3DS XL, but I don't want to take WarioWare Gold in and out of it all the time just for the alarm clock feature).
I love my 3DS, lots of great games. The Fire Emblem run on the thing is incredible, Awakening/Fates/SoV are all fantasitc, idgaf what people say. Also loved stuff like Theatrhythm, ALBW, the Ace Attorney games (DD, SOJ, DGS 1 and 2). I first played Dragon Quest XI in Japanese on it which was a fantastic experience. VLR I prefer the Vita version of but I first played and fell in love with the 3DS version. Little Battlers eXtreme is dope. I'm probably forgetting a lot. Still going through the backlog on mine too, playing SMT4A on and off.
I think I'll always mostly associate the 3DS with college. I played it some before and after, but it basically became my primary gaming platform in uni and stopped around the time I graduated. For reference I started college in late 2012 and graduated a couple months into 2018.

One of if not the strongest and most diverse 1st party lineup for a handheld ever.
(the Switch is getting there)
The 3rd party stuff was infamously gutted after the unsuccessful launch, but in the end it had a few incredible standouts, such as Monster Hunter and Theathrythm Final Fantasy.
Thanks for holding me out for my gaming needs from 2013 all the way to 2019.

Wow, I actually forgot about the alarm clocks in WWG. That game had a lot of crazy and fun extra stuff.
It's one of the only things that works to consistently wake me up, lol, since I'm forced to actually do something to turn the alarm off.

Retronauts recently did a 3DS retrospective.
Gave this a listen. Lots of great stuff they're talking about. One of the biggest 3DS retrospectives out there, deffo recommended.
