Nintendo didn't make it easy for secondhand buyers...

[N e s s]

"I want a New 3DS XL for my birthday. But don't pay full price for it, see if you can get it secondhand. Yes, a used one is perfect. No, not the 3DS, the NEW 3DS. XL. Used. I want a used new 3ds. Yes, that makes sense, why are you confused?"

"Hi, I saw your ad about selling a used 3DS XL. Is it new? ..... Yes, I know it's used, but is it the 3ds or the new 3ds? Yes, I do realize it's used. But is it new?"

The next few weeks are gonna be interesting D: Please tell me I'm not the only one who's run into this issue?

Ah yes, you got the awkward conversation of the N3DS.

 

[Kuroh]

I think Nintendo could have came up with a more creative name than "New 3DS" like... anything would be better and less confusing than that LOL

 

[Idfldnsndt]

Yea but dont people say N3ds for the new 3ds which would make it easier to understand

"Hi! i would like a new 3ds xl!"
"Oh yes!" *3ds xl pops out*
"Uh,no,im meaning the new 3ds xl"
"But this a new 3ds xl"
"I mean the new model"
"But this is a new model"
"The new 3ds xl with nfc reader included"
"Oh u mean that one! Well,they sold out"

Good thing we don't have this problem where I'm from
I hope after Wii U and this, they hire someone to make a better name for their newest console.

I'd like to find out the specific person (or persons) from Nintendo that named it myself. XD

 

[Knopekin]

Hahaha, I'm all too familiar with this problem. The DS' names have been stupid since the DSiXL.

Now I just refer to whatever Nintendo handheld I'm playing as a Gameboy.

My boyfriend does that!

Despite protests at first because my 3DS XL is pink/white -- heaven forbid I emasculate him with my 'feminine' video game console -- Boyfriend finally tried out Fire Emblem: Awakening on my 3DS.. and now nightly he asks me for my "Gameboy"

"It's a 3DS. I have a Gameboy Color on the shelf if you want me to grab that instea-"
"It's a Nintendo handheld - it's a Gameboy."
"3. D. S!"
"Just give me the gd Gameboy"

;-;

Poor 3DS. It's getting discriminated and grouped in as a Gameboy. D:

They're also pretty bad on printing their games themselves and will only push the bare minimum of what they're expecting, notice how all used Nintendo games cost an insane amount of money compared to those on Playstation and Xbox?
They won't even print games of this current generation such as Pikmin 3 and Kid Icarus: Uprising. This company is completely absurd at times.

:O I didn't know that. That is absurd, especially since those games are recent even. :/
