Comment on Bought a 3DS XL last year
Goretantath@lemmy.world 6 days agoWithout 3D its not worth having a physical console when everything else can be emulated extremely reliably everywhere else and 3DS games are getting better emulated day by day. Its like if you bought a SNES but played it on a shity LCD TV.

The (New) 3DS XL has quite nice haptics, and emulating the dual-screen setup is a little awkward especially handheld.
Apart from that I agree with you.
It was worth getting a second-hand New 3DS XL for €100 a few years ago, but the prices people talk about here are just not worth it.
Same holds true for old Gameboys and similar tech.

Same experience here, there have been a couple of interesting devices to run double screen games (AYN Thor), but it's rather expensive for having a dedicated device for just the DS and 3DS catalogues (with some hardware gaps).

The cheapest way for a quality emulation experience is probably a phone with a portrait-mode game controller attachment.
