As an official 3DS owner I can confirm, they did make a lot of colors for it

Whimsu turned into Scott The Woz so gradually I didn't even notice

The unreleased green and orange 3DSes look killer.

6:59 i have the midnight purple, honestly for a classic 3ds it's pretty good looking

PLEASE, bring back the rarity and personal obtuse rating criteria. I loved to hear your opinion on the consoles, and the rareness of said consoles. Even though i do hate the resell market.

The word you're looking for to describe the special edition designs added to pre-existing colours is probably "tampo" (as in tampography, pad printing) as that's what is used on diecast cars (Hot Wheels). Except in the rare case where it literally is a sticker.

I love this series is back for an episode

I do miss the portable consoles market because now everything is trying to be hybrid.

I picked up the Aqua Blue 3DS at launch and it really did look and feel so premium at the time.

Absolutely love this content. I love all your content but this kinda stuff i could listen to all day.

Thank u for making this video.i was looking for it. 🙌

I still need more of these

I eagerly await the rest of this series you wonderful being

Certified classic Whimsu vid.

The paint details are called tampographs. They're basically stamped on like... Stamps.

I used to want the Majora's Mask one so bad man

Great vid, I grew up playing the 3ds a lot as my primary console when I was a kid

I knew of Heroes of Ruin. I played the demo online with others, and the full game was released on my birthday that year.

Orkarina of time.

Glad to see you're doing more of these but I definitely miss the rating system.

I have a Lavender Pink 3DS and it’s GORGEOUS, love this thing :)

6:51 This was actually going to be my first 3ds since it's my favorite color. That was until the Pokemon XY editions came out and went with that instead. I don't regret my decision since that limited edition looks incredible, but a part of me wishes I went with the purple even if it would've had less battery than the XL.

Omg two Knowlege Husk videos in a day yay

thanks for bringing this series back it was my favorite. please make a rare gizmondo video.

Cerulean blue. Cerulean makes me think of a breeze. A gentle breeze.

You should make a video for every variation of 3ds (new 3ds, 2ds etc) it would be a long video but id watch it

8:22 Did... did I hear that right? ORC-arina?! Never heard someone pronounce it like that and I'm laughing my butt off because of it! LOL

I think Cobalt Blue has to be my favorite basic color variant. It looks really good.

omg the pool is back

i love the 3DS, same vibe as the reg. DS but just that much more advanced! wish handhelds were that small again

man that toad 3ds is amazing 8:21 orcarina

Favorite is New Love cause cute girls. Need more consoles with cute girls.

I actually have the monster hunter 3G one, and it was totally by mistake that I got it but it’s awesome, especially after some modding

Oh, he's back in the pool! I assume he built a new pool when we sadly lost the pool. I know you've been experimenting with this channel, but I'm glad to see a return (or experiment) to the format that made me originally follow.

I remember the stock images of the E3 2010 3DS with the coloured thumbsticks were still used by stores and media outlets well after the 3DS launch. This confused me when I got my 3DS.

My first 3DS was an Aqua Blue version I got as a birthday gift :)

Hope you pull from the Woz and make more videos about the variants of the other members from the 3DS family of consoles

You could throw them into a tier list. That would be a quick way to rank them.

my brother had midnight purple it did indeed have the gloss

Now that the 3DS has been discontinued for years everyone can admit the original 3DS looked the best without people saying "nah, newer one better cuz has new label on it."

I am totally here for a 3DS variant playlist. Also Lapras.

I remember spending a lot of time playing with the AR things

The cat is back Bring back the scoring please

That original glossy black 3DS can't be beat imo. Felt super premium in the hands.

You missed my favorite 3ds, the red and blue Super Smash Bros 3ds

I got the aqua blue one!

Can't believe we were robbed of orange smh

7:07 so sick

I ended up with the blue launch model, but I wish I had gotten the purple one.

You should list the prices. It's interesting

I really like the original one, especially in white. Which now that I think of it, red buttons and a highlights on a white system could've worked for a 30th anniversary edition to celebrate the Famicom.

Too bad the shoulder buttons had a tendency to break. Also was a little small for my hands, which is awkward, because the new xl is a bit too big.

Probably not in this vid but i had the link between worlds xl and the monster hunter new xl, Nintendo really got fancy with them at the end

I attempted to buy all the original 3ds color variations. Now seeing the green and orange one, the collection is not complete.

I still have my New 3DS Mario Black. Such a great console.

I didn’t know there was 2 reds of the original 3DS. I thought it was just flame red was the only red

I’m not sure if it’s just the exposure of the video, but my launch 3DS (which I still play) is a much darker red than shown.

Bro's making this a five part series on just the 3DS

I had the blue Luigi’s Mansion one

In regards to the glossy finishes being prone to finger prints, I don't really feel like that's a big issue? I checked my metallic red example and the finger prints are barely visible, maybe even because of the flake effect.

I've got a metalic red! Let's go!

I want the Gundam 3DS. It’s three times as portable as a regular 3DS.

I will forever cherish my og metalic red 3ds that I used until it just died and a red new3dsxl that I bricked trying to hack it

New Nintendo 3DS XL Advance lite

i won one of the thousand mario 3ds' when i was a kid lol. i regret my mum chucking out the box and me not taking care of the console. it works fine but it has the usual marks from aging and i used it a lot 😂

Ahh, no XL (or "New"). I still use my A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL, sad it's not a "New" one, but that gold on top, black on bottom and triforces on each side are too appealing to me to change it out.

My favorite variants are the New 2DS ones. They're all, like, textured? The Dragon Quest Slime and Minecraft Creeper live in my brain rent-free. Looking again, there are also amazing ones based on the Pokeball, Hylian Shield, and Animal Crossing. To be honest, the Animal Crossing New 2DS might be the best-looking video game system that I've ever seen (especially since the Animal Crossing 3DS XL is so ugly. It's like a pop tart, lol)... Also this model was first released in late 2017 and all of the special colors were probably released around 2018, so it was basically Nintendo's hedge for if the Switch flopped. The 3DS in 2017-2019 was an interesting console. Games like Fire Emblem Warriors, Sushi Striker, and Captain Toad simultaneously came out on Switch and 3DS. There were also some simply top notch releases in that era, including Metroid: Samus Returns and Fire Emblem Echoes. Plus, around then, we had the long-awaited arrival of SNES and Pokemon on virtual console. If you were still playing 3DS in 2018, it was arguably some of the best years that the console ever had? Weird...

3DS has my favourite console design. They just look (and feel) good. They feel solid and quaint. I wish it wasnt stuck with a bunch of abandoned software, it makes it a bit depressing to use. You are just stuck with non-functional apps on your home screen.

Where godsilla

6:55 as a eurpopeen coloector I can say this is definetly NOT true xD most of the time its a america/japan release but no pal one.

but i miss the nonsensical scores 🥺

breaking out my Nintendo 3DS ar cards rn

white fire emblem fates n3dsxl supremacy

i miss the old format tbh

When you know whimsu held on to this for months for that sponsorship when he said he lost the pool assets forever ago 😭

No review scores :(

Whimsu you can’t just mention the NFL Sunday night football console and not explain any further

I care about The Fire Emblem AR cards, Whimmy. I care.

You making a video about everything but the 2024 predictions. Make a 2024 predictions video bro.

I just wanna say that im upset that you stopped showing the prices. Its not gonna help contribute to the rising cost, its just gonna show more people cool consoles that they still cant get lol Please show the prices next time!

Boo bring back the scoring

Rarest 3ds: purple

Do enjoy these videos, but I must admit I miss the parts where you gave your personal opinions on them. I understand that grading everyone becomes annoying, but even a simple "this one is good because of x" or "not a fan of this because of y". Brakes up the video and makes it feel less like a list just being read.

Im colour blind

Is this some form of “whitewashing” history by describing the thumbstick as anything other than light gray?

Weee
