Looks like it’s time to buy a second one…
You’re only up to your second?
I have four, lol.
I actually wanted another New 3DS (normal size) because two pixels have gone funky on my current one… but of course it has been discontinued.
Australians will receive a non-new 3DS XL with a Metroid-shaped turd smear on the box. And pay twice the price for the privilege.
not sure why this got a down vote when it’s 80% accurate. The design could be much better, but with that said I need it for my collection. the boxart alone makes it worth it.
