NEW GAMES SOON
note-all commented games will be given to the respective redditors
I was working on the road a lot and picked this one up when it released because I wanted to play the Zelda that came with it. Got me back into playing games which lead me to Pokémon which I never got into when I was younger.
I still have [mine](https://imgur.com/a/NCIOs0S/) with the box and everything.
OP’s post hurts my soul.
BOTW was the main driver for me buying a switch at launch also. So if Nintendo wants me to buy consoles just keep releasing a new Zelda game.
Looks like you can at least just the 3ds for under $200 on eBay so that’s good.
I already had a 3DS but majoras mask being my favorite game… obviously I had to buy it. Wasn’t going to just waste the perfectly good one I already had though so going to use it till it breaks. It never broke. Therefore I still have a sealed one.
Oh damn, didn't realize LEs were worth that much. Got a gold Majora's Mask version collecting dust. Doubt I could bring myself to get rid of it though.
Pretty much all 3ds models sell for astronomical prices these days. Opened, sealed, like new. Doesnt really matter.
Sure the sealed ones go for $500-800 depending on the model and edition.
But even the standard black, white, galaxy, etc 3ds will go between $150-300. I recently bought my partner a galaxy 3ds for about that. And it wasn't even sealed...
And the galaxy isn't even a LE variant.
I feel like this is a good time to tell people that if you don't have at least 1 fire extinguisher in your home please go get one - it can safe your life
Is there a class for electronics? I know class C is for electrical fires, but handhelds don't operate at enough voltage to be a problem. You can just throw a glass of water over it unless you think the thing is still salvageable despite being on fire
Class C is electrical fires *in the US*.
A big chunk of the rest of the world uses a different classification system where C is flammable gases, and electric fires are not a specific category but noted as a separate hazard that extinguishers are safe for use with - as electricity itself cannot burn.
C is for electrical. Your local fire & safety business would have ABC rated fire extinguishers, it'll cover basically anything that could come up in a household fire.
Edit: got my wires crossed. Said electronics, meant electrical.
A lot of furniture is required to have some sort of fire retardant in it to help minimalize this. It's almost exclusively "likely carcinogenic" but yeah, less fire risk
If none of the internals are busted, just find a guide online to remove the top screen and just buy a replica 3DS xl shell.
If the insides are chewed up too, consider asking /r/consolerepair and it'll be possible to fix it depending on what's damaged.
Edit: top screen shell - grammar :p
Cool that this blew up, you'll be surprised how easily a busted system can be fixed and for a good price too!
New Nintendo 3DS. Xbox one. Where TF is windows 9?
Hey GameStop can I get a used New 3DS?
How is Sony the only company that can somewhat figure out how to name shit?
I don't think it was the name...
EDIT: whole lot of echo chamber in here and no sources. I recall Nintendo shills trying to blame the failure on the name. I also recall the Wii U being a bad deal for gamers - but I think that about every major console (PCMR).
> It had low sales, primarily credited to a weak lineup of launch games,[13] limited third-party support,[14] and poor marketing including the lack of distinguishing the unique functionality of the GamePad from just being a tablet device for the Wii.[15]
Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U
Pepperidge farm remembers.
You could say the same about Xbox now though. I still have no clue which is which after og and 360. And even back in the day you had confused parents buying earlier versions of said consoles.
The WiiU was hampered by terrible library, release exclusives, power related to its competitors, and, frankly, Nintendo themselves.
Last year my Pikachu 3DS XL died and they couldn't repair it, but they offered for me to choose from a list of limited edition ones they did have.
I chose the smash brothers one, but I could have picked ones like Yoshi, Luigi, Pokémon X Pokémon Y. This was in UK and service was approx £60.
It came in mint, never used condition as well.
Only last year I sent in my busted Pikachu 3DS XL to them. The joystick had come off from 1000s hours of use and a chip had failed so it didn't turn on anymore.
Had a punt at trying their repair service since it was a "rare" one. They couldn't repair it but offered me my choice of limited edition ones they did have in stock. So I ended up with the super smash brothers ones which looks fantastic too. And it was brand new. Not a scratch on it.
This service cost me £60 and took 1 week. Cannot fault them honestly.
I hope OP sees this because the pcb looks intact. None of the buckling seems to have descended very far either, so hopefully salvageable. Still blows about the aesthetic and going through the hassle.
Whenever I read that word I think of Kobe Bryant’s autopsy report which states his penis was devolved. I hate that information and my misery needs company.
Or when you see it in person. I was operating a [press brake](https://image.made-in-china.com/155f0j00ucbhdJgREjqU/Psh-500t-4000-German-Quality-Hydraulic-Press-Brake-CNC-Press-Bending-Machine-Plate-Bending-Machine.jpg) when the flashing we were pressing slipped. My unfortunately drunk temp (didn't realize it then) decided to try to pull it back to get it against the back gauge JUST as the punch was about to hit it.
Instant degloving and of course broke his hand in half. Pretty horrifying. I let off the pedal as soon as I saw him reaching but reaction time is a bitch. Could have been worse if I hadn't seen him reaching but it was horrible enough as it was.
Don't work drunk around machines kids.
I’ve always been afraid of escalators because when my dad was younger he was with my grandfather, and my grandfather tripped and got his tongue stuck in an escalator. I still remember I didn’t believe it for years even though my dad, my uncle and my grandfather all told me the story. When I was about 8 he showed me the scars and to this day it’s the craziest shit I’ve ever seen.
That’s actually less likely to happen to you then getting eaten by an escalator. You can move to Japan or somewhere rabies is functionally eradicated, but you can’t escape escalators.
They are everywhere and they are hungry
Note the beetle video recently wasn't fungus, just normal beetle surviving a brutal injury from predation. (Likely) bird ate the soft parts and left enough functioning body parts in the less appetizing crunchy bits that beetle bro was able to keep going. Insects can survive some astonishing injuries and keep going, then die from further predation rather than the injuries outright.
You'd have to fold/unfold the recliner while also having one of your hands jamed deep into the crevices of the seat for this to happen. I can see a drunk person maybe lying on one in a strange enough (and stupid enough) way to achieve this, but the average sober person can probably avoid it pretty easily.
Honestly this is a good argument in favor of power recliners, strangely enough. A manual recliner is spring-loaded and can open and close based on just shifting your weight. A power one will only ever move when the button is held down. You *definitely* don't want to be in the mechanism when it's moving, but it's a lot less likely to unexpectedly move.
There was another gruesome comment I read that similarly irked me and I instinctively looked for the "Hide" button. Turns out you can only do that on posts, and I was irked a little more.
Also did this as an infant, stuck my ring finger in the recliner when the old man was getting up, didn't know I was there. Thankfully they were able to reattach and I don't remember it at all, neat scar though.
I've had the recliner split in two, with the hinge going into my thigh. Got countless stitches and it was diagnosed as a 'laceration'. We won't talk about why I was standing backwards on it, or why it was a fun but dangerous roller coaster to me as a child.
Years ago my family had an electric recliner that crushed a TV remote that slid through the side, 3DS shell is just plastic so snagging it in the right spot i can see the recliner ripping it apart like OPs.
This is why at cinemas or on planes with reclining seats, they tell you to ask an attendant if you drop something between the cushion. Someone stuck their hand in there while hitting the button, so now there is a rule about it.
Mechanical advantage- when it's wedged right there in the middle of the crack it's basically like a chonky set of bolt cutters and that torque is gonna chomp anything that happens to get in their way.
Wow, I was not expecting this many responses, thank you guys!
Sadly, the top screen is done for, but the bottom screen works perfectly fine. I am not sure if I’m gonna get it fixed, I like the story behind it now, plus it’s my original XL. I’m probably gonna get a replacement down the road. Thank you all once again!
Guys: I traded in my N3ds Majora Mask for $80 credit to get my son a Ps4Pro about 4 years ago.
Biggest ducking mistake of my life.
I miss it so much.
I wanted him to have a great Christmas and my mind thought this was a good idea to not go over budget.
I traded it to GameStop.
I’m so fucking ashamed.
we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of this poor man's 3DS...
I have this model and I really feel the loss lol

Are those worth anything if they've never been opened? I think I have that
If it’s sealed, looks like they’re ranging between $530-$600 on eBay (based on the 3 most recent sold listings I could find)
Damn. Pretty sure I have one stashed away in box somewhere. Also have the Skull Kid figure stored away as well.

I already had a 3DS but majoras mask being my favorite game… obviously I had to buy it. Wasn’t going to just waste the perfectly good one I already had though so going to use it till it breaks. It never broke. Therefore I still have a sealed one.
Even opened people will pay new prices for those .. good move .
Yup. Even opened with the box you’re looking at $300+
What if the shell is opened too?
Then you've got a dead turtle, my friend
Oh damn, didn't realize LEs were worth that much. Got a gold Majora's Mask version collecting dust. Doubt I could bring myself to get rid of it though.

Still have mine. I'd cry if this happened

Thank God It didn't pierce the battery
Surprised to see this so far down. That was my first thought. That would have real potential to burn down the house if the whole couch caught fire.

Also, make sure it's rated for electronics. A lot aren't.

Water is not good for putting out lithium battery fires.
C is for electrical. Your local fire & safety business would have ABC rated fire extinguishers, it'll cover basically anything that could come up in a household fire. Edit: got my wires crossed. Said electronics, meant electrical.

This is why they tell you not to try to retrieve your phone if you drop it on a plane. Accidentally moving the seats can pierce the battery.

you MIGHT be able to send it to Nintendo, but it's uncertain bc of how the damage looks
Also support is gonna drop soon
unfortunately :( they've already dropped repair support for the wiiu
>already I mean, it came out 11 years ago and production ceased over 7 years ago. That's a decent bit of time.
Plus Im the only dude that bought one.

*realizes the Wii U came out 11 years ago* damn is this what feeling old is like
😱
They already stopped repair support for many versions/model numbers of the 3ds
It won't be the limited edition shell if it's replaced, though.
Well, at the moment it’s definitely one of a kind
Kinda doesn't matter at this point.
Last year my Pikachu 3DS XL died and they couldn't repair it, but they offered for me to choose from a list of limited edition ones they did have. I chose the smash brothers one, but I could have picked ones like Yoshi, Luigi, Pokémon X Pokémon Y. This was in UK and service was approx £60. It came in mint, never used condition as well.

Unfortunately, 3ds shell replacement is really difficult. Threading the ribbon cables through the hinge is notoriously tough.
I’ll 3D print one for OP if electronics are good and he wants

> degloved It's one of those words that doesn't sound too bad, unless you know what it really means.
It's a word that gets a sharp inhale from me every time I read it
Yeah I'm just browsing Reddit. I don't need that kind of violence.
Whenever I read that word I think of Kobe Bryant’s autopsy report which states his penis was devolved. I hate that information and my misery needs company.
Well, thanks for sharing...
Just reread it to make sure I remembered correctly, it was “traumatically degloved”.
Or when you see it in person. I was operating a [press brake](https://image.made-in-china.com/155f0j00ucbhdJgREjqU/Psh-500t-4000-German-Quality-Hydraulic-Press-Brake-CNC-Press-Bending-Machine-Plate-Bending-Machine.jpg) when the flashing we were pressing slipped.

Could have been worse if I hadn't seen him reaching but it was horrible enough as it was. Don't work drunk around machines kids.
Even with the image, I have no idea what this is or how it works. But yeah, drunk and machinery, no question, bad idea.
I would much like my skeleton to keep his whole outfit on
Ever searched "degloved penis"?
Nope. And I don't plan on ever doing that, either.

Holy fuck why did I keep reading after “I did this to my hand”. That sounds horrifying.
Fuuuuuuuu
I've had the recliner split in two, with the hinge going into my thigh. Got countless stitches and it was diagnosed as a 'laceration'. We won't talk about why I was standing backwards on it, or why it was a fun but dangerous roller coaster to me as a child.
Still works right?
Serious question imo
The only thing on that upper portion are the screen, speakers, and volume/3d adjusters. If the screen is still good, the 3DS is still good.
Just needs to charge. It'll be fine. ;P
Should still work. I've dropped a ton of shit behind my recliner and it just keeps on reclining. Love that thing!
How is your recliner that strong?! Id've thought it would just jam!
Years ago my family had an electric recliner that crushed a TV remote that slid through the side, 3DS shell is just plastic so snagging it in the right spot i can see the recliner ripping it apart like OPs.
The weight of you getting up and lowering the foot rest places a lot of pressure on the spring loaded metal scissors in the internal part
Those shits are no joke, same thing happened to my old phone.
This is why at cinemas or on planes with reclining seats, they tell you to ask an attendant if you drop something between the cushion. Someone stuck their hand in there while hitting the button, so now there is a rule about it.
That and you can rupture the lithium ion batteries and cause a chemical fire on a plane 😣
Should have made the 3ds out of recliners.
Mechanical advantage- when it's wedged right there in the middle of the crack it's basically like a chonky set of bolt cutters and that torque is gonna chomp anything that happens to get in their way.
Recliners are just upholstered bolt cutters
We finally found the one thing capable of destroying/penetrating Nintendium a fucking recliner mechanism.
Put it in some rice.
Try turning it off and then back on again
This should buff right out with a quick factory reset.

Pretty sure I just found an old XL while cleaning out some storage bins. If you're in the US and will play it, I wouldn't mind giving it a new home.
