Lately I bought a used 3DS XL on amazon because I thought it might be cool and whatnot with homebrew. Well, almost.
After setting up the WiFi connection they kept showing me license agreements with tons of pages which I had to accept. Fine. Next on the eShop some more agreements. When I tried to download a demo game they told me to link a Nintendo Network ID or create a new one. They won't even let you do that without an account. Since I already had one from the Wii U I tried to link it. Guess what? The 3DS doesn't allow certain special symbols to be inputted so I was unable to type my password. I might need to request a password change on my computer, modify my account settings on the Wii U and *then* link to it on the 3DS all because of Nintendo sucking. Nope, I'm done and turned it off.
Besides the overall slowness (Wii U's brother, yay!) the system has been set-up by greedy fucks to get you to buy as many Nintendo products as possible since they tell you that they'll use your information for marketing purposes and also ask you if you allow them to send you new offers and whatnot.
The integrated camera is complete shit. The pictures look like the ones from a phone or camera in 1990 or something. So blurry!
The 3D slider/ mode sucks. It hurts in the eyes to look at the screen when enabled.
They have a game pre-installed which uses "face recognition" and you need to shoot your own face in balls by moving the 3DS around to gain points. The background is your own room which is recorded by the outer camera. Nintendo swaging with "new" technology stolen from Idk where. xD
Nintendo used to stand for simplicity and fun now they're making everything complicated and things are straight copies from predecessors. The latter might've been true for longer but it's even worse than ever now.
Such a meaningless system! If there only was a 3DS emulator, the 3DS would be completely obsolete. They suck so bad, I might just resell all my 3DS shit again even if I can do homebrew, load roms and whatnot. That has to mean something coming from a hacking/ cheating nerd like me xD
As a side-note, Nintendo has started producing a new 3DS with better hardware specs. This might mean that newer games won't work on the "old" 3DS.
