Are there really only a few New 3DS exclusive games?

  Yeah, the list of New 3DS exclusives is pretty short.

  I fairly sure that having a New 3DS does help performance on some original 3DS games though.

  Imo the main addition to that console is that face tracking made the 3d work properly.

    The only 3DS I had was a N3DS, maybe that explains why I’ve never had issues with the 3D while most people seem to complain about it?

      I had a 3DSXL and the 3D gave me intense headaches within minutes of turning it on, and you had to hold your head at a perfect distance and angle from the screen that I was basically never in. So I just kept it 2D at all times. It also helped with battery life and framerates, I remember turning 3D on in one of the Pokémon games (Y maybe?) and it chugged down to like 10 FPS in battles.

    The eye tracking was amaaaazing.

    The clit joystick was a godsend for Monster Hunter, but it was absolute garbage until I replaced it with a PSP joystick. Then it worked amazingly!

    I can second this. I got back into playing my 3DS last year and remembered how frustrating it was having to keep your head in the perfect spot for the 3D effect to work correctly. I ended up buying a New 3DS and was blown away by how well the head tracking worked and how big of an improvement it made to the experience when playing with 3D turned on.

  If you are interested in custom firmware, there are homebrew apps that either are better with the n3ds or outright require it. I don’t know which Moonlight is but you can stream your PC right to the 3DS which I find wholly awesome. I made the upgrade from regular to “New” back in the day and haven’t regretted it a minute but if you’re on a budget or just playing it the way it was meant to be played you may be better off with the OG

  I’ve tried minecraft new 3ds edition, and it’s only playable if you turn up the emulated cpu clock speed on citra, the actual console isn’t powerful enough to run it playably.

    Thanks, I’ve never played Minecraft and it’s the one game on that list I was kinda interested in but not really.

    You’re comment validates my purchase of a normal 3ds k

      Minecraft really is a must-play for everyone, but only if you get the java edition. the bedrock edition is inferior and doesn’t have mods.

  This is correct, however SNES Virtual Console games were also exclusive and a number of games were enhanced on New consoles.

  If you’re looking to save a bit of money, you might want to consider a Japanese console and modding it. 3DS prices are pretty crazy at the moment and no one knows if they’ll ever come down.

    Yeah, I just want to play 3ds and ds games on it. I don’t really care about the 3d, but I’ll mess with it sometimes.

    I have a steamdeck for the rest, I just don’t like emulating ds stuff in a single screen.

  Though some of the games that supported the circlepad pro also support the c stick on the New models.

  • Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Circlepad pro had suuuch a better joystick than the c stick… but I cut my c stick out and replaced it with a PSP joystick. Worked insanely well.

  That’s insane these prices are still almost the original retail price. If I’m remembering correctly, most the post-intro titles didn’t even take advantage of the 3D screens after awhile, so I’m confused on the draw for the new revision except that it’s bigger.

  You’d be better off just getting a vastly cheaper and more powerful handheld meant for modern emulation.

  • BigPotato@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yeah, but there’s only one handheld with DS/3DS emulation in mind and it’s not cheaper.

  • neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Well I have a steamdeck, but it’s annoying to emulate the 2 screens.

    I also like have a cheaper device to carry around. That way I’m not too worried about it breaking or theft and I can just enjoy gaming in short bursts on the go.

  Wasn’t the remake of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga New 3DS exclusive?

  • sjmulder@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    No it isn’t, just checked my copy to be sure. I played it on my regular 3DS XL.

    source

    • WolfLink@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Ah good to know! I think I avoided picking it up before because I thought it required the New 3DS. I’ll look for it at my local game store next time I visit.

  I really don’t know. I only found this list online and assumed it was comprehensive.

    There’s some japanese only games too but yeah that’s pretty much it.
