New Nintendo 3DS Cover Plates Were Awesome!!

The New Nintendo 3DS was a system with maybe a questionable name but also with one super cool feature. The swappable cover plates! While the New 3DS XL had bigger screens, the customizability of the regular New 3DS made it my go to system and one that I absolutely love. Hopefully Nintendo releases another system that allows for this amount of customizability in the future!

i do really wish they did something similar with the new 3ds XL, I would have loved to have an animal crossing themed one. but i think that two sizes of cover plates would add even more confusion to the already confusing 3ds lineup haha

@NaveedCollects Жыл бұрын

Yeah I think you're absolutely right. The New 3DS name was already confusing enough. I'm glad they did anything at all though.

These were so cool. I even imported Fire Emblem If plates from Japan back in the day and I'm glad I did because there is no way I'd get a set for what ebay sellers are trying to sell them for.

I have some coverplates and i loved them! I remember mixing and matching my Yoshi coverplate (with the different pastel colored Yoshi’s) with the green/ white dots side of the 1 up mushroom coverplate so it looked like a green Yoshi egg.

Ugh I love that pastel colored Yoshi cover plate so much!! Definitely sad I missed out on those.

This is the kind of hyperspecific 3DS content I like. I wish I actually bought these back in the day, but as I was still in school, I never picked any of them up. Some are still available online, so I grabbed the Splatoon one, but that Super Mario Maker cover plate you have is just the coolest.

@@fear3bk I'm not sure if you'd be able to find those pokemon ones for cheap even by importing but I've found some through proxy sites like Buyee. Those allow you to shop on Japanese versions of things like Mercari and Yahoo auctions.

Recently modded my small New 3ds and confirmed what I was already 90% certain was a top ips screen, but jumped for joy when it also showed the bottom screen to be an ips one as well. Got it refurbished from gamestop years ago and it came with those same mario maker faceplates you showed off in the video (which imo are the best face plates by a LARGE margin, that shade of yellow with the bursting colors from the sprites against the beige white of the console? MWAH. Chef’s kiss😩👌🏼) Wish I could shake hands with the poor sucker that had to sell this mythical unicorn of a unit

You know I have heard so many times that the original 3ds got screen scratches when closing but I bought one at launch and played the sht out of it and it NEVER got those scratches and looking at it today (yep still have it) there's still no scratches. At this point I play my launch *News 3ds still every day. I do have the smaller *new 3ds as well (I have the animal crossing happy homemaker one and a few other faceplates.). I still have every version of the DS/3DS that I always bought at launch (does not include all the special editions...). I did trade in my small DSi and my original grey DS but the others I have kept.

I’m glad Nintendo didn’t give up on the face plates. I’m holding out for a final Switch iteration. It’s Nintendo’s best selling system, it would be a waste if they didn’t perfect it. I’d love a sleek Switch Lite OLED with a better, sturdier build and Face plates. Maybe with a Game Boy Face Plate. I’d love that. I’d buy the f*ck out of that. Talk is cheap, but I’m always tempted to spend, so I may as well spend on a proper iteration.
