Comment on Bought a 3DS XL last year
over_clox@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago2DS had one single screen, that motherfucker was a goddamn joke!
You think I’m shitting you, go ahead and disassemble one, it only had one single screen!
When my kid was young, the 2DS was perfect because it would survive being shaken without issues. Try shaking a 3DS when the screen is open.
Who cares that they cost-optimized both screens into one? It was cheaper and more robust. It was perfect for smaller kids.
They both fit in the toilet…
I totally wasted my time that day, so please for the love of the flying spaghetti monster, stop giving toddlers electronics!
Stop posting drunk.
Probably reasonable advice. 👍

Does that really matter, though? It was designed to be cheap and rugged for kids. It still functioned as two screens.

Both fit in the toilet equally well.
You think I enjoyed wasting my time attempting to fix that shit?

The 2DS is incredibly easy to repair. Why you so mad?

Hey, at least it wasn’t infested with roaches.

You act like it wasn’t…
Hey, at least I was paid by the hour to waste my time attempting to fix it. Company dime, company time, and customer paid for the replacement screen even.
Sucks that I wasn’t successful, but damn, when the whole thing is literally rusted out, even the boss should have realized it was a hopeless cause. 🤷

What matters is like literally I asked a question…
HOW MANY VERSIONS OF THE DS DID THEY MAKE?
And why so many versions?

Are you asking the total number across all generations, revisions, colors, sizes, limited editions, variants, and regional models?
The answer is somewhere around 202+ last I checked. Only Nintendo knows for sure.
I found a couple sources attempting to catalog them all, but even they probably don’t have 100% coverage as I’ve found others pointing out a handful of specific versions that weren’t listed.

Happy?

I didn’t ask years, I didn’t ask generations.
I simply asked for an overall count of how many versions, altogether. All years, all revisions, all models, simply count and give me a number, how many?
You folks know way more about the things than I do, to me they might as well all be e-waste at this point. Are there really that many versions that nobody can give me a simple fucking number?
