“I love my 3DS but my hands are just too fucking huge!” - some Nintendo employee circa 2012

Born to brag about having big hands; forced to review a game console for children

This sure is a “Scott shows off how big his hands are for 18 minutes” episode.

Core memory of mine is that I finally got a 3DS in Cosmo Red as a reward from my dad for doing well in school as I'd urged him all year about it, and then literally the next week the 3DS XL was announced in the Nintendo Direct

The 3DS XL tasted way better than the standard 3DS. This was a tremendous upgrade!

When I was in middle school, I remember finally convincing my parents to buy me a 3DS XL. They got it in January of 2015... One month before the *New* 3DS. Still hurts to this day.

Memory of mine: My Dad said he would get me a Nintendo 3DS when I was 11. But Christmas that year, I was 7, and unwrapped the Nintendo 3DS XL in blue. My Dad went "Whaaaaat? You're not 11!" And I just said "Uh, yes I am!" I don't think I could ever be that cool again.

Just remember, there’s like 500 different special editions of this damn system

i just realized that scott is probably not laying down on his stomach filming these videos

If Scott's gaming shame was getting a DSi while he still had a perfectly fine DS Lite just because of a camera, mine was getting a NEW 3DS XL while I still had a perfectly working 3DS just because of SNES games. I honestly forgot that there even was a vanilla 3DS XL.

3DS XL way my favourite 3DS model Stylus was in the right spot, L + R and circle pad were big, Start, Select and Home were in the best place, volume slider was in easy reach. And the SD card wasn't in an absolutely unreachable spot. It was the best model imo

bouta scott my woz to this

10:46 "Killing a bug underneath a tissue" is the perfect descriptor for these

I think when the phrase "I have big hands" was as common as it was, the people saying it probably actually had average size hands and the 3DS was just too small all around

Scott the HUGE HANDS Woz

I missed the whole 3DS era sadly. I was in my teenage edgy "Nintendo is dumb I only want gritty and gorey shooters" era during that time, but in 2020 I picked up a used 3DS XL off of ebay so I could play some of the stuff I missed, and I had a good time with it! Only issue I had is that at one point the top half of the circle pad stick broke off and just completely crumbled. I was able to glue the actual rubber pad back on the stick at least without too much issue or mess, but now it feels a bit off whenever I play since the upper half of the circle is missing. Still more than playable at least, and other than that it's worked very nicely for me

He has big hands and owns sonic CD? Truly blessed.

Ahh man the memories. When I was 11 I remember spotting this hidden in the basement 4 months before christmas. It was the longest wait ever.

What's funny is that despite each new 3DS iteration becoming physically larger, the boxes got smaller.

Taking out the original 3DS's stylus is like reaching behind the TV stand to get to the VHS player to unplug cables and plug them back in.

My 3DS XL died years ago, and I’ve been wanting to replace it forever. So I decided to this week. And it arrived today, and it’s the exact same color as the one in this video. That’s pretty cool f*cking timing.

Fun fact: I had my 3ds XL on the school bus a few years ago and some kid slammed his bag into it while getting to his seat, so it fell on the floor. I pick it up, and somehow it still functions, but the two screens were just barely holding onto each other, pretty much just with a couple wires holding it together 💀

3DS XL has a special place on my heart, being the first console I bought first-hand on release month with my own money, I take countless picture of it and basically become my second gadget beside my cellphone that I brought daily with me, surprisingly robust and it survives 7 years of use until 2019 when I bought switch lite.

Mine broke in half after droppping on the ground a couple hundred times. Still got the old reliable 2011 3ds, 13 years and still chugging along.

they should have relesed it only in green with red dots or red with green dots just to mess with scott's colour blindness.

I really appreciate all your content and channels, thanks mate and your whole team

Kirby triple deluxe and Pokémon Omega Ruby, 2 amazing games I played for so long on this thing

The 3DS XL Zelda Edition was my first DS. Loved that thing. It fell out of my backpack at school with all my games.

I love how you can see Scott’s reflection in the 3DS Screen!

That's why we call him Big Hand Scott

This was the first 3DS that I ever got for myself, and I must say...... I wish I had gotten a New 3DS

This Scott’s Stash video was dedicated to Scott showing off that he has big hands

i grew up with a limited edition mario version nintendo 3ds xl, and i loved it. 5 years later i accidentally stepped on the screen and had to get a new one which ended up just being the original model, and since then i have missed my xl. the nintendo 3ds xl holds a strong place in my heart that i dont think even a new nintendo 3ds would take away if i got one

Oh man, I had this exact model of the 3DS XL (mine was an EU model, however), and Jesus man, the amount of hours I clocked in on this thing. Some of my best moments in gaming ever came from playing this thing. Insane. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I really appreciate it.

I have really big hands, I'm still waiting for the 3DS XXL.

POG MORE 3DS CONTENT IVE BEEN BINGING

They honestly should've waited for the "New" 3DS to release the XL model. That way people would've been less confused.

The 3DS XL was more like what the launch 3DS should’ve been. Even though I don’t like the color scheme of that 3DS XL, it was the revised design that helped boost the 3DS sales!

I didn’t realize the original 3DS was the last box branding with the original DS family logo on the sides

Bought the 3DS XL from a buddy in college for $70. Literally just got it for Smash. Worth every penny.

I never understood the complaint about the placement of the styles on the original 3ds, like i mean sure the first few times you'll probably have to actually look where it is, but once you know where it is you never have to look again

I have always loved this thing, my one and only 3ds, fits nice into them hands

I got my first 3DS from my cousin, who got a day 1 black 3DS to play OoT3D, and eventually I got the LBW 3DS XL for Christmas of the year it came out and it’s been my main 3DS ever since! I’ve modded it and still play it a bunch to this day!

The first 3ds was my reintroduction into gaming. It was amazing.

The original 3ds's stylus placement was a pretty big advantage for us left-handed people.

"you need big gloves too?" yeah

I grew up with this thing and seeing the games i grew up with again hit me hard

10:50 might be one of the best explanations I've ever heard on those buttons 😂

The 3DS XL is really good. Unfortunately, I broke mine in July after trying to play the Golden Temple level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, but I’ll never forget the good times I had with that thing 💖

I used to play on an original 3DS from 2011 when I was a kid. Nowadays however, I'm almost 20 and find myself spending more time on my younger brother's XL model. There's something about how nice it feels in my hands and the screen being perfect for me (I have poor vision), not to mention the fact that I can find larger batteries for the console to make it last longer. Honestly, I would've preferred getting a New 3DS XL model had I waited long enough, but I can't complain with the 3DS XL, it just feels right.

My 3ds was a balck XL one. I loved it and never had a problem with it. The screen was great. And playing ds games on it is great because everything is so big on it. The games translate well to the larger screen

The only reason why I upgraded to the 3DS XL was because my original turquoise 3DS got stolen. In retrospect, it was the best upgrade I ever had. Battery life and stylus placement were some of those upgrades, but there was something far more important. One of my biggest issues was the power button placement, which did not translate very well coming off of the DS Lite and DSi XL that I had. The Start and Select Buttons, normally on the bottom right, were moved to the middle bottom on the 3DS, and in place of that was the power button. Every time I panicked and wanted to pause, I would hit the power button by accident and lose my progress in whatever game I was playing. The 3DS XL swapped sides, placing the power on the left side and leaving just an empty space. More importantly, however, the middle buttons were so much larger and easier to press.

Growing up I loved my 3DS so much so getting an XL was one of the best Christmas surprises I ever got and spent the whole day trying all my games on the bigger screen

The 3DS XL showed up right after the Ambassador program for early 3DS adopters ended. I got the white version with 3D land, but ended up playing and finishing most of my DS library.

Yesterday I just repaired my childhood 3Ds xl after 7 years, and then Scott puts this

Now I can’t unsee the fact that the 3dsxl has the same red hue as jolly ranchers

0:32 the prosecution to O.J. Simpson

I LOVE THE 3DS XL 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️🔥🔥 ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD HANDHELD CONSOLES

Scott The Woz [holding up his hands] They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were. Oh, my little friends... the little man with his racing snail, the Nighthob, even the stupid bat. I couldn't hold onto them. The Nothing pulled them right out of my hands. I failed."

I'll never understand why people think the og 3ds looks weird, it's my favorite looking system out of all the 3ds variations

I like Scatt's usage of music you'd find in a fancy French restaurant 🎻

There was a 3DS for every situation: 3DS - Collectable / Keep in the box 3DS XL - Multiplayer for friend 2DS - Mod 2DS XL - Install a capture card New 3DS - Play on the go New 3DS XL - Play in the house 5:33 Although the design of Kirby was so plain, the box art 100% represented the graphics in the classic Kirby games, which is why I put retro Kirby above retro Mario (black and white).

I had a blue 3ds xl, loved that thing. So many memories. One day it fell out of my car onto a manhole cover and the top screen was done. My dad tried to replace it but it was too confusing for him, thankfully the new 3ds came out a couple weeks later. I love my new 3ds but man do I miss my old 3ds and AC:NL which I had digitally.

I remember I had this exact same 3DS XL. I broke that one only a year ago because I accidentally dropped it.

I had a pearly white 3DS, like a sea shell. Awesome colour effect when light bounces off of it.

I remember cringing pretty hard each time someone mentioned their BIG HANDS at that time, glad to hear that im not the only one.

I remember getting the blue and black 3DS for christmas in 2013 and MAN is it fitting for the hands even nowadays.

As a matter of fact Scott, yes. Normal sized gloves hurt unless theyre stretchy. I know this because the gloves provided by walmart for freezer work are not stretchy

Wii U: big 3ds: *s m a l l*

Scott practically never left the house with his 3DS?!? Bro didn't understand the assignment.

My memory of the 3DS XL is I upgraded soon after it came out, barely used it, bought a New 3DS XL when it came out, and sold both my original XL and old 3DS AND DSiXL at a garage sale. I have since gone back and repurchased all of those....

The 3DS XL is really great! I get that some people say it feels cheap, but I never cared about it, I just really love the games on it, I got mine in 2014 (Quite fun because just like two months after I got mine the New 3DS XL was announced 😃) But I have enjoyed it A LOT through these past 10 years and I love it to this day, I got a blue one! And I agree, the photos and videos don't do the colors justice, they have like this sparkly thing going on, it looks very nice! Would I have preferred to have the New 3DS XL? Sure, it has a better processor and more steady 3D effect, but do I regret going for my 3DS XL? No, not at all. I ADORE that thing.

The red 3DS XL was the one I grew up with! Don't play it much anymore but it's given me some very fun memories!

I remember my launch 3DS's start/select/home getting kinda punchy through the surface, the L/R buttons needing repair, the LED showing funky colors, and finally the circle pad being worn down to the plastic that actually slices your fingers. I was glad I held out until the New XL, but sweet jesus that thing did not age well lol

I somehwat regret getting the XL at launch, because some games definitely did not help from the increased screen size, but not pixel count.

I loved my blue 3ds xl I got it for my birthday in 2015 and had great memories with it playing Mario party island tour Lego Batman 2 Mario and Luigi Dream Team and Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and losing my stylus.

i love my small 3ds, it's so easy to take around, and I like the design a lot more than the roundedness of the xl, having both

Despite going from a GBA SP to DS and then 3DS, I think I have the most memories with my 3DS since I had a diverse amount of games plus internet access. Sadly, all of my original consoles suffered less than desired fates, my SP still works but the audio glitches out, my DS got decapitated in half so it's like a Gameboy micro, and my 3DS had one of the hinges break but duct tape managed to keep it together for years then the top screen randomly got inverted a few years ago. I definitely wouldn't mind getting a modded new 3ds since there's a lot of games I never got to play but the prices for these consoles aren't so good.

I love you Nintendo 3DS XL

Had the original 3DS then got the XL loved that until I got the new 3DS with the faceplates and liked that one the most. It was the perfect sweet spot of screen size, console size, and feel and I never went back. No matter the model the 3DS/2DS was a banger of a system!

you know what they say about people with big hands... they got 3DS XL

Nice hands Scott

My giant hands just keep screaming for me to finally get a New 3DS XL, my regular 3DS just looks so tiny in my massive mitts.

The 3DS XL was the first 3DS I ever got so maybe there's some nostalgia to it, but the stylus placement is absolutely golden, and the stylus itself isn't short like a toothpick lol. And that SD card slot, gotta love it.

Look , people might have over done the big hands thing, but the regular 3DS really cramps my hands bad

am i the only one who thinks that the og 3DS design looks pretty slick? im just a fan of the metallic look in comparison to the plastic look of the xl and n3ds

You know what they say about big hands. Big portable console.

I had a wii in the house before this, but this was the first console i got that was MINE. I remember my dad pulling it from the top shelf of his closet on my birthday, and i was only like 5 so i didn't know about it, but i knew i liked nintendo because of my wii. It was the red and white mario version with the coins, he told me he got it specially from mexico 😂. I still have it, and I've since modded it (dont tell the ninjas). As a console, it's become my personal favorite.

It’s so funny to watch the Health and Safety icon jump as Scott shouts or claps

The 3DS XL is the only upgrade I skipped, if only because it was an exercise in cost cutting. Sure, the top screen was a legit improvement, but Nintendo cheaped out on the materials, build quality, speakers, and other nice aspects of the 3DS’s design (anti fingerprint coating, metal telescoping stylus, edge-to-edge display cover). In Europe they stopped bundling it with a dock and AC adapter too. Wasn’t until the New 3DS where it felt like they delivered a legit upgrade in every way!

6:27 “OH SO THATS WHATS GOIN ON… LUCKY YOU” A$AP

I do genuinely have hands this thing fit around even as a kid. This was my 3DS of choice.

This is the earliest I think I’ve been to this guys videos like ever

Scott's hands are so big, we should give him a nickname, like "Mr. Hands"

Nice production value Scott. Watching your hands move with a dirty carpet as a backdrop

My favorite system to 🏴‍☠️ You can extract the SD card easily instead of building a scaffolding around the New 3DS XL and dig 7 feet under just to get the card out.

Anyone else remembers the "Rocks inside the box" thing that happened? If not, basically someone bought one of these and when they opened it, they just found rocks...

As a lifelong lefty/nintendo handheld fan I've never once thought about the stylus placement until you brought it up lol

I didn't know that Scott was on VGBoxart. That brings back so much memories. I would spend my free time making boxarts, even if it is amateurish. I, at least, learned how to handle Photoshop slowly but surely. Still proud of my Sonic Riders PS2 boxart despite the messy presentation.

When I was 12 my hands were too small to hold the Wii U gamepad but too big to hold the original 3DS
