Especially love playing multi-player with kids. Now, they're almost too valuable to bring. Anyone else feel this? What do you bring instead? Posted by ronnbot
BunayoGaming on March 5, 2026 10:52 pm personally, while it is valuable, i think it’s more valuable when you actually use it. ofc i don’t have one anymore, but if i get a limited edition 3ds, i’m not thinking about preservation. i’m thinking of enjoying my 3ds.
FreezingIceKirby on March 5, 2026 10:54 pm Honestly, I take my New 2DS XL with me pretty much wherever I go. I do keep it in a case to make sure it doesn’t get damaged when not in use, however.
Baelish2016 on March 5, 2026 10:55 pm I have a DSi XL as my ‘casual’ device I take with me to the gym and work. But also, a good chunk of people now days seem to have emulation devices, like the Ayn Thor or Retroid Pocket 6.
free_-_spirit on March 5, 2026 10:55 pm Technically they’re the same price they were when they released.
_VeinyThanos on March 5, 2026 10:56 pm Homie, I bring my 3ds XL or New 3DS XL. I leave my Majora’s mask unit for home use only, and my Mario anniversary 3DS XL for display.
zarif2003 on March 5, 2026 10:58 pm Ehh, you can still get a new 3ds xl for 300. The switch 2 is 450 and people take that outside too.
IsaacClarke47 on March 5, 2026 10:58 pm Speak for yourself. I stay using my 25th Anniversary Blastoise N3DS
tactical_narcotic on March 5, 2026 11:02 pm I got a switch too, and I have used it on flights but next trip I’m gonna bring my 3DS
