After owning this New 3DS XL from 2016 I must I’m glad I never sold it or gave up on gaming. While it’s not a double IPS, I’m glad I didn’t get stuck with a double TN 😂 . After adjusting the IPS/color fix mod and adjusting the filter with the TWPatch it looks premium at least to my eyes. I don’t feel like the bottom needs an IPS, it’s more of an option to make it look more premium imo. When I am playing a game that mainly uses the bottom I don’t see any issues at all. After the adjustment I made the image just feels satisfying to my eyes.
I decided to swap out the original plates to preserve them and went with the Zelda plates shown above. Thinking about getting another set of plates to make it feel different. Not sure if green or navy blue…
Overall getting back to playing these gems in 2026 feels amazing and it’s definitely worth having one. The 3DS is definitely a different type of handheld no matter what type of screen you have!
Happy Gaming Everyone!

I’ve played on dual TN and dual IPS. It’s way overblown, people just like to have the “special” thing I feel.
Clean!!!
