A few hours ago I posted that I found a 3DS at a flea market in Cancún (the post got deleted by the admins). The thing is, a couple of comments said it was a reshell. With these photos they seemed pretty sure. I asked why because I was genuinely curious, but they never replied. Can anyone explain how to tell?

    1. They never released a shell with that design, so someone must have removed the shell from a 3ds XL and put a new shell on it

      EDIT: 那我不知道是什么情况

    2. Anytime someone posts a picture of a 3DS that isn’t half destroyed at least a few people will say it’s a reshell, especially if it’s a good deal or good condition, but in this case I can’t tell without more pictures or without holding it myself as I don’t have this model personally

    3. I’m yet to see an aftermarket shell of this special edition. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, but I haven’t seen one.

      I doubt it. I can’t find any replacement 3DS NES shells from a quick look from aliexpress and ebay, and there’s nothing that really looks off.

      Comparing to listings on eBay that include the box I can’t see any obvious reason to say this is a reshell.
