3Ds Discussion

This year is when I finally decided to Homebrew my 3Ds again because it had been like 5-8 years since I had last done it or even played on it. The homebrew I had previously done didn't allow me to obtain new games so I only ever used it on animal crossing new leaf because that is all I had but now with the updated homebrew I finally got to try games I had been wanting to try or I had lost and I just like talking about the 3Ds. But yeah expect random 3Ds rambling here XD

After homebrewing the 3Ds the first game I ran to get was Tomodachi Life because I had wanted to play that since I watched DanTDM play it and it did live up to my expectations but now I really want a second game because there's so much opportunity in this game for a really good/goofy sequel.  My island mostly consists of my friends and I and then a TON of random characters from fandoms I'm in and then the children of some of the random couples on my island. I also have a Pinterest board where I upload various qr codes from my island.

Maybe a month or so after homebrew I finally decided to see how to make my own custom themes because I wanted specific/niche things that Theme Plaza didn't have and it was much easier than I thought. I used this video and managed to memorize what everything does somehow and made a ton of 3Ds themes for my friend and I. I've considered uploading some of mine to theme plaza but decided not to. I have been tempted to just make a google drive folder that people could download the files from as well. I may eventually do that.

All that aside though I would love to see another system like the 3Ds. Like the switch and its portability but I liked the size of my 3Ds (an old 3Ds XL) and I like being able to close it and leave it in sleep mode. I also really enjoy the currency for walking and wish it was used in more games because it wasn't hard to obtain, especially while I was in school. Even though you could only earn 10 a day at the time I wasn't playing daily so I just had loads build up over time. I'm not sure what could be added though to compete with the design of the original 3Ds/new 3Ds systems. Maybe a better camera even though I'd probably be the only one using it. XD The graphics it could handle could be updated for better games. It would be cool if it still had the ability to connect to a TV but I feel that would be tricky without the graphics quality dropping though at the same time the switch isn't that big and looks fine. Idk what to yall think??

Some Questions I have for the 3Ds Community on here mostly for fun:

1. What was your first 3Ds game?

2. What is/are your favorite 3Ds game(s)?

3. What's some of your favorite hidden gems?

4. What's your main theme to use on your 3Ds? (Feel free to share an image too!)

5. Weirdest game(s) you've played/seen on the 3Ds?

You don't need to answer all of these/you don't need to answer any at all!

My Answers:

1. My first 3Ds game was Animal crossing new leaf. It's actually the reason my parent's got me the 3Ds plus the game for christmas. My First animal crossing game was city folk and I saw an ad for new leaf in a kids magazine and was fascinated and excited by the fact you could swim or put outside decorations like the jungle gym. I screamed when I opened it up christmas that year.

2. My favorite 3Ds game probably has to be Tomodachi Life now that I've played it. If you asked me a few years back I probably would've said New Leaf, Pokemon Moon, and/or Happy Home Designer.

3. To be honest I don't really have one unless you can't Tomodachi Life for some reason XD though there is also Pilotwings Resort which I never heard anyone talk about. It's really really simple but I love the game because it hits me with Nostalgia of the air sports island from wii sports resort. I loved flying around just for the hell of it but I haven't had the space for my wii recently.

4. Because of the Homebrew I can have it cycling through multiple themes but I have a Fl4k from Borderlands 3 one I made, one of some of my animal jam pets, a moxxi from borderlands one, and a few random others. Those are just the ones I remember right now

5. I added this question specifically because I found a weird one. It's called Pet Zombies and it's literally just taking care of a pet zombie. There isn't much to do other than a minigame where you through your zombie really hard, feed it, brush/pet it, and even discipline it?? There's also a few different toys and such your zombie and use/play with and it's just about keeping the zombie happy as it walks around it's little habitat. I only downloaded it because it looked ridiculous and it lived up to that. I do kind of like it though? XD
