Favorite DS/3DS Variant?

[Sheepy765]

Across both the DS and 3DS families, which of these dual-screened devices is your favorite?
(I like the New 3DS with swappable faceplates the most)

Gotts give it to the one I own, I normally don't like gold on anything but the big Triforce logo kind of makes it work for me.

I've got a New 3DS with the Number 055 faceplate.

The galaxy N3DSXL is beautiful, I have a gold Zelda one and it looks really neat, but that one is so pretty. There should have been more editions with a nice pattern not related to any franchise back then.
3DS and PSP both have the best editions imo

i love the OG brick, the buttons have glorious tactile feedback, the light variants always felt like they were already worn out even when new, lol. Just mushy.

Also New 3ds xl, i love the large screen for 3D, it made quite a difference in the experience. and cuz chikubi right analog

I spent the entire 3DS generation on the original launch 3DS, but I always wanted a New 3DS. The faceplates looked so cool. With the modding scene for 3DS' exploding though, I probably won't be able to afford one for a very long time now lol.

Functionally, I think the DSi XL is my favorite. The buttons feel great, the screen feels huge even in <current year>, and I play significantly more DS games than 3DS games, so I don't mind losing out on 3DS support too bad. I had the brown/beige/grey whatever variation of the XL back in the day, it was kinda ugly but I played the hell out of it. I miss the GBA slot though

Visually, I was always kinda jealous of the special edition DS' from Japan. It's too hard for me to pick a favorite, so many of them look cool.

I had a dislike for the XL DS/3DSs
3ds XL constantly gave me wrist pain and such, i never had that happen on the original DS
i tried a normal 3DS and yeah much less weight, and it looks fine you don't need a larger screen
especially since it's like 400x240 resolution on top and 320x240 on bottom

New Nintendo 3DS (no XL), for me, is the peak

All 3DS are good, but the OG Black 3DS is the best. Perfect size for everyday carry, nice thickness to it, great for some Monster Hunter 4 and Dragon Quest.
