Any 3DS/2DS fans here? (lemmy.world)

Guys I am a diehard DS fan and just ordered a super inexpensive clip on shell case for my 2DS XL and just wanted to share. If there are any Zelda fans out there looking to dress up and protect their 2DS XL, then you gotta check this one out. It's being sold by numerous vendors at various prices so I suspect it all comes from the same manufacturer. It looks amazing in person, and is actually textured just like the TOTK OLED Switch.

I got mine on eBay but you can probably find it somewhere else. A lot of the aftermarket clip ons are just a bit too gaudy for me, but I took a chance on this one and am glad I did!

Edit: the grip is an aftermarket product as well. Ads a kick stand. Got it cheap on Amazon. Highly recommended, but it doesn't come with the Zelda shell.

I'm new to the hacked 3ds world and I absolutely love it! The last gameboy I owned was the advanced sp and the 3ds is like a time capsule of the best period of gaming history. I desperately want to start building shell mods fix their wobbly screen though.

[–] Jim_Just_Jim 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I absolutely agree with you about it's place in gaming history. The wobbly screen definitely takes some getting used to. I'm not exactly sure why they decided to design it that way. I know the DS Lite models were prone to hinge cracking so maybe they left the slack in them to reduce that issue? Either way I sympathize with ya!

[–] Postmortal_Pop 3 points 5 months ago

I'll need to crack it open and look at it, but from what I've seen I may be able to slot some rubber gaskets into the hinge to hold tension. It will feel more like modern laptop screens that way.

Here's my 2ds xl

And here's the splash screen

Lol I love it. Thanks for sharing!

Love my 2DS XL. I’m sad that Nintendo totally shelved their mobile line since the switch is portable. Battery life on the DS line is incredible. I still get long hours from my DS Lite

Adding a second image for texture. I'm not sure if links are allowed and don't want to come across as a self advertiser. I was just so impressed I had to share with someone. This is one handsome 2DS XL!

Still have my 3DSXL and play it once in a while (though far less after buying a Steam Deck).
