Happy Birthday TBT!
I have a bit of a handheld addiction.
I have various Gameboys as well but Iāll stick to DS/3DS consoles only as thatās what this thread is asking.
My very first console was a Coral Pink DS Lite. I have repaired it myself as it was in pretty rough shape after years of heavy use. Picture isnāt mine:
Later when my Pink one broke as a young teen/preteen and I wasnāt capable of fixing it at the time I got a Lime Green DS Lite. Again picture isnāt mine:
In 2013 I got my first 3DS. The original Blue/Black 3DS XL. By 2016 the hinge started to crack so I upgraded to a Galaxy New 3DS XL. I finally fixed the cracked hinge on my original one earlier this year.
Late last year I tracked down a Fire Emblem Awakening Edition Original 3DS. I just canāt resist the blue colour of this device, the sparkly gradient finish of the OG 3DS, plus Iām a huge Fire Emblem fan. I started playing on it and loved it so much more than playing on either of my XLs.
I really wanted to make the original 3DS my main console but my main console with all my downloaded games was currently the New 3DS XL and unfortunately you cannot transfer backwards from a ānewā model to an āoldā model. That was when I decided to track down a āNewā small size 3DS.
Basically the Original XL (top left) is my first 3DS, the New XL (bottom left) was my second 3DS when my first one broke. Both XLs are now just extras. Now the Original 3DS (top right) is my secondary device and the New small size 3DS (bottom right) is my main console. This picture is mine:
Do I have too many 3DS? Yeah, definitely but Iām too sentimental about my XLs to sell them. At least for now.![Grinning face with sweat :sweat_smile: š](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f605.png)
