Do you still play your 3ds?

I tend to focus on a hobby for an indeterminate amount of time before switching focus onto a different hobby which demands my attention, and the cycle continues on and on in this way. As such, I can go for long stretches without playing my 3DS but eventually find my way back. I'm currently in a cycle where I am actively playing it. In a sense, while I may stop for a while, maybe months, I've never really "stopped." The 3DS and my game library for it still have plenty of enjoyment to offer.

I'm not someone who sells my consoles; I keep them, go back to them, hook them back up and use them when I feel like doing so, no matter how old.
 
I only really use my 3DS when I travel to go visit my girlfriend. Otherwise, I tend to just do stuff on my phone or computer.
 
Not all the time, but generally yes. I usually only am actively using it when I'm playing a 3DS or DS game. I don't keep up with my AC towns or any other real-time game, so usually when I go back to a game I've previously played, or buy a copy of a new-to-me DS or 3DS game.
 
I do still play my 3DS. Only a moment ago i was playing Tomodachi Life. I regularly keep up with my New Leaf town(s) and i do not see that changing any time soon.
 
I don't have a 3DS anymore so no. I also wanted to buy myself one a while ago, but I'm beginning to phase out of playing video games so I don't see that happening any time soon.
 
Occasionally! I've really been wanting to play Warioware and Rhythm Heaven lately, so ill pick it up again soon.
 
All the time! I love the 3DS. I mostly alternate between various Pokemon games and Animal Crossing New Leaf whenever I get the itch to play or have a specific project in mind. I have some room decoration ideas that got me back to playing New Leaf somewhat regularly, plus the hybrid week event got me fired up to attempt to finally grow a blue rose. I'm also working on hatching a shiny Venipede in Pokemon Alpha Sapphire in the hopes of gathering a bunch of ribbons on it in between now and the release of Pokemon Z-A.
 
Before, yes. I would usually play Wild World and New Leaf daily when I did. I had a few other games I was playing on it too. But it started being weird last summer, like it would constantly crash when I played certain games, or occasionally when I’d turn it on, the blue light on the bottom would come on, but the screen would stay off. I could fix it temporarily by taking off the back cover and pressing down, but it’s probably not a safe or reliable strategy. It’s still usable, and none of those things happen on any Animal Crossing game, but I decided to stop using it anyway. I’ll most likely start using it again someday in the future, but I can live without it right now.
i hope you get it fixed. Theres got to be a solution out there. Maybe try poking around the homebrew community when ur ready

Still playing the 3DS. It gets played more when it's too hot or during a power outage. A couple of weeks ago we had a planned power outage in the evening and helped. On my list is to finish Pokemon White 2 and start Pokemon X /Y.
 
Quite actively! c: I only recently got the two Story of Seasons 3DS games (one of which I haven't even started, and the other I expect I'll still be playing for a long time), plus I've still got Style Savvy: Trendsetters, Pokémon Ultra Sun, and haven't 100% completed Fantasy Life yet either. And there's a few 3DS games I wouldn't mind buying in the future!
It's one of my favorite handhelds, and especially with how the Switch 2 prices are looking, I don't expect to be retiring it anytime soon.
Ahhhh! Trendsetters and Fashion Forward are iconic. I remember I was away when Fashion Forward launched. I downloaded it overnight on hotel Wi-Fi, so I could play it in the car the next morning.

I'm kicking myself a little bit for selling it. Seeing your post gave me the itch to play one of them again! ☺️ Fashion Dreamer is not it.

Aaaa I hope you have fun playing!! 💛 I wish I'd been into Style Savvy games when I was younger! Fashion Forward is def one of my video game grails now; I've heard great things about it and hopefully I'll be able to snag a copy someday!! ;w; Big agree... I have desperately tried to like Fashion Dreamer but it is Not the Same
 
I’ve occasionally used it from time to time and I’ve been meaning to play and use it more but my endless backlog and other things have halted that for a while haha
its difficult to wield the discipline of all the games ever that you might like. It used to be it came out and you got it then played it to your hearts content. Now Im in control of this, sometimes Idk what to do. I must let go of my will to know one day itl come true.
 
Unfortunately mine is broken and pretty used. I'd love to get my hands on a pretty 2DS XL, but it's hard to find one cheap-ish used.
 
I still play! I go through phases with old DS games and 3DS games! I just played Legend of Zelda a link to the past on my 3DS, but now I'm really back in to acnh so it might be a few months before I go back to it
