I’m one of those grumpy people who buys a console once and is done with it. And no fancy special editions — gimme that default.
But man… this is different. I’ve already got a 3DS XL. It’d be crazy to buy a new one this late in the life cycle.
But… it looks like a Super Nintendo. What am I supposed to do?

Nintendo just announced a local release date for this thing that I will buy with great shame for no other reason than it looks really cool and I want it.
It’s $249.95. And I really need that money for food, clothes and shelter. But… it looks like a Super Nintendo.
It. Looks. Like. A. Super. Nintendo.

SOLD!
If this came out a year ago I’d be all over it, but I’m all over playing games on the 3DS now.
The 3DS is on life support at this point, so why not beat the dying horse a few more times and see what remaining cash grabs you can get from the corpse.
Kind of want.
Except it’s an n3DS XL and I hate those. Also I have like four 3DSes already (one dead). And barely touch them as it is.
Have your son accidentally shove a Breath of the Wild cart into the XL slot so it ‘breaks’. Perfect excuse for a new one.
Or…SNES
I soooo wanted one of these when they were first revealed, but can i justify one now?
Maybe.
God blasted crud damn it, I just bought a New 2DS!
Pay $20 for a Skinomi skin and achieve the same outcome?
That being said, I’ve wanted coloured buttons for my 3DS for a while…
Save your money for the SNES themed switch that will inevitably roll out eventually*.
*Probably when the successor to the switch has been released knowing Nintendo 😉
I don’t have the willpower to resist buying a SNES-themed 3DS. I have justified the purchase by convincing myself I’ll sell my current 3DS and make some of the money back. I play games on my 3DS almost every day and have a massive back catalogue so I think the purchase is worth it.
Question is why has Nintendo taken this long to release it?
Don’t understand how people would buy this if they already got a 3DS and this late in the console life..
Because they think it’s cool and/or would like to add it to their collection?
Sure, not telling them don’t do it, their money. What I am trying to say is I don’t understand why.
Because 3ds is one of the cheaper console to collect and reasons lol. I personally have so many 3dses I put one cartridge each and just swap around 3ds to play
Mine’s starting to have issues reading carts. I’ve ordered one to ensure that I can still access what is a fantastic library of games.
well this I can understand.. .. secretly, I wish they stop with the 3/2ds and instead focus on switch mobile gaming 😀
I DON’T have a 3DS. What’s a good price for this?
Dang it! I just bought the Metroid one. Along with the three Zelda ones, I really dont need another, but then again, it looks like a Super Nintendo!
This news makes me glad i just picked up a Japanese 3ds XL (or LL as they call it).
Resist Serrels! You can do it =D
