Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Nintendo 3DS XL Blue/Black [Old Model] - Bundle with Included Games by Julio Montano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like to take a break from work every once in a while to play.

I bought this for a number of reasons. I'm 26 years old, this year I got a new job. It was stressful. My sister bought the Original DS last year when she also started her new job. I totally understand why she did it. I like to take a break from work every once in a while to play Smash Bros. 3DS or Mario Kart 7 on this system. I feel nostalgic because I grew up with Nintendo. My first system was the original gray Game Boy. Then I switched to the Game Boy Color and then to the Game Boy Advance. I also had an N64. I remember getting a Gamecube when it was new in my early teens and the original DS for Christmas. I played Smash Bros. for hours. Melee with my friends when I was 14 or 15. So in 11 years I was too busy and too old to buy a new Nintendo system. Well I don't regret the purchase. Some might say that certain games like Smash Bros. and Mario Kart are just redesigned and remade, but I love it. That's why I will always love these games. I also like big screens. I compared it to my old DS system and Nintendo has made great strides. I love this system for both the new technology added and the fact that it makes me feel like I'm 14 again. Oh, and blue is my favorite color. I have a feeling this is a purchase I will enjoy for years to come even if Nintendo discontinues this PDA for the new system in the future. I may not always keep up with buying the latest consoles but I will always be loyal to Nintendo because I grew up with it and a small factor that will bring me and my friends closer together.

Pros
  • Legacy systems
Cons
  • Socket required
