3DS Color? :/

[mayorclara]

Okay, so, I got my Aqua blue 3DS 2 years ago.
And this week I realized how I absolutely HATE the color (and the fact that it's not XL) and I actually would rather have an XL in the White and pink version.
Is there any way to change the color of my 3ds or am i stuck with a color that i hate?

Please help!
Thanks in advance

Well you could always buy a case if you don't mind adding a bit of bulkiness to it.
Other than that, you're pretty much stuck with it unless you want to completely cover it in stickers or something. (Also I love the Aqua Blue, but maybe its because I don't see it a lot.)

I heard somewhere you can change the Shell though. Do you know if it's true?

Well, especially given that you say you dislike how it's not an XL, the best solution you have is to upgrade. You could also sell your current one after a system transfer to make back a bit of the money - although with such an old model I doubt you'd get enough to really make it worthwhile.

You could always buy a skin or cover for your 3DS to hide the colour.

It's not good enough for me, i just dislike the color in general and the buttons and inside are still blue.
^ That made me Sound really spoiled lol
Also a system transfer is not possible since i have quite a few digital copies :/

 

[mayorclara]

Bump!

You can't change the color. You could buy a new 3ds or either buy a case cover that you like or do what I did and buy a skin and then cover it with a clear case cover so it's protected and still has an awesome skin. Hope this helps!

If you dislike the color of the buttons,there's not much you can do and if you say that you can't system transfer...it sounds like your stuck with it and can't do anything about it.

And you can change the shell for the NEW 3ds.

Wait you can system transfer? Didn't know a 3DS had that feature!

Yes you can, watch YouTube videos on it. You'll transfer all your data to a different 3ds so all that changes is the 3ds your using. Then sell your old one. I bought the new 3ds xl and did a system transfer.

Yeah, its in settings

Aaah I see. What if I buy the HHD one though? Won't I lose HHD on the limited edition one if I system transfer or could I download for free in the Eshop or..?

I'm sorry what does hhd mean again? I don't usually get abbreviations so I look them up. Is it hybrid Hard Drive?

Hehe, it's Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.

Ohhh is it digitally downloaded in the 3ds of do you get physical copy? You may want to go online or contact Nintendo for that as I don't really know.

You'd just need to re-download it from the eShop after doing the system transfer, yes.

Enjoy getting your new-colored system! I had the 3DS you have years ago and remember love getting my New 3DS XL since it's red-colored, but that's just my preference (And I love the color red)

Get skins, make your own skins, get a case, cover it in stickers

You can't change the shell of the original 3DS, but you are able to on the original 3DS XL.

It would be better to upgrade though as this would require 2 3DS XLs.
