Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld (beehaw.org)

Have you ever held a switch? Its long, flat and the controllers suck. Awful dpad and bad sticks.

Its almost comical, for a small stick the 3ds stick is better than any joycon stick.

And also, internal storage being only 32 GB, and cart games being downloaded in full to the system.

The switch is a mess. At least the games emulate well.

That's not even going into the online ransom shit.

And the dock sucks too. Would it have killed Nintendo to add like 2 more USB ports and an Ethernet port.

And not related but powera can eat shit

Yea, you have a point. But in terms of feel, my n3dsxl is a lot comfier

I really liked the original 2DS personally. The announcement left everyone incredulous as the device sounded and looked like a dumb downgrade. I mean, it was hard to tell if it was joke or not. In the end though it’s light, cheap, tough and surprisingly comfortable.

The 2ds looks cool, I want more systems in the family

Hey, is it too late to buy a couple of n3dsxl in 2024? Is it unusable now as all online services are shut down? Can you still find game cartridges to buy?

I just want something simple to play co-op game with the wife and kids on camping trip or on-the-go sometimes. Last month I dug out my old DSLite from the attic and it's still boot. My candy-crush-4-life wife love the Mario kart and couldn't stop playing LOL. But we can't justify to buy 2-4 Switch.

Because fuck Nintendo and their predatory anti consumer business model.

They can be a lil hard rlto find, but are well worth it. Get one, a 128gb microsd and you have a really good system
