Is 3DS worth it?

Post by KTH »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello everyone, so after thinking it over carefully, I'm thinking of selling my DSi and buying the 3DS.

But first I have a few questions:

- Does the 3DS read the DSTWO? Is there a risk of bricking?
- Will 3DS games be crackable in the future? And if so, maybe you know when.
- Is the 3DS worth it? (Is it better to keep the DSi?)

Personally, I'd like to get the 3DS because there are interesting games coming out for it.
So, thank you for answering these questions.

*I don't know but I know that the M3I ZEROs are.... it's up to you to check on your linker's official site.
- Will 3DS games be crackable in the future? And if so, maybe you know when.
*It's not good to dwell on the future while the present still offers its pleasure.

*not for now but every console has gotten hacked one day or another...
it can be fast or very very long.... ex: psp hacked on the very first day and the play3... in 4 years I think.

- Is the 3DS worth it? (Is it better to keep the DSi?)
if it's just to have your linker on 3ds and only play DS games.... that's silly, especially if your ds is the DSXL....

Personally, I'd like to get the 3DS because there are interesting games coming out for it.
*don't hesitate if it's to play 3ds games, because the games are coming out fairly quickly.
There you go, thank you for answering these questions.

- I agree with Darscad, if you want to play DS games with your linker, keep your DSi.

- For my part, I'll get the 3DS when Nintendo releases a version with better battery life. (on average 4h00 of battery life for the 3DS versus 10h00 for the DSi)

- The 3DS will also be worth it once the Wii U is out (Nintendo will surely have the 3DS used as a Wii U PAD)

- The 3DS will surely have a killer game library fully exploiting the gameplay + the 3D + the console's capabilities

In conclusion:

If you have a DS or DSi, and there are still games you want to play, I'd advise you to wait and see what a new version of the 3DS offers. (Battery life, price, screen size, hack).

There you go ;)

It reads most linkers with upgradable flash, but only in DS mode.

No idea, just for info the DSi hasn't even been hacked yet you know :mrgreen:
No no I'm really talking about DSI mode and not DS mode for DSi games.

For now no, too few interesting games. Too little battery life.
It's better to wait for the end of year holidays ;).

For my part, the 3DS is interesting for certain things.

If you buy a 3DS to play mostly ds games, it's better to keep the one you already have.

Now if it's just for 3DS games........go for it :93:
but for now no specific linker for 3ds games, there are 3DS linkers for DS games. But is it really worth it????? I don't think so. too recent to say!

there's been some dumps of certain games, but unsuccessful so far :arff:

So the choice is yours :accord:
