    The 3DS is unironically one of the few consoles I wish I actually had. Why? It’s just feels wrong to emulate, same with the Wii U and to a lesser extent, the Wii (unless you have one of those fancy pc-compatible sensor bars). The hardware is too unique and something gets lost when you try to emulate it.

        Maybe the price has gone down in the US, but unfortunately the last I checked they were a bit more expensive in the US if you wanted one in decent condition.

          Yeah I bought a used one earlier this month and it was $144. It did come with Luma already installed which was nice

            For that price, I’m guessing that was a Japanese 3DS that someone modded and re sold in the US?

              Yeah I believe so, at this point I don’t think it matters since homebrewing it will get around region locking and the eShop is dead

          Oh I didn’t mention this is in Austria/Germany. Sucks that they are more expensive in the US :(

          I got this one for I think 70€ and it’s even the XL version.
