I bought a 3DS XL sometimes last year. It was under $200.
After seeing the surge in demand, I feel lucky that I bought it when I did. I also decided to take it out and play some animal crossing new leaf for the first time and I’m really enjoying it.
I sometimes wonder if I should have bought the “new” variant back then, but they were much more expensive and I’m still not sure if the performance improvements would have been worth it.
I’m basically just using not for ds and 3ds games, so, I’m guessing the power difference would not really matter.
DS, DS slim: That’s the first generation. 67MHz, 4MB RAM. Both consoles are identical apart from the form factor and play DS and GBA games.
DSi, DSi XL: Second generation, 133MHz, 16MB RAM, downloadable games, no GBA slot. GBA compatibility still exists via virtual console, but not with physical games. Adds a camera and integrated storage.
3DS, 2DS, 3DS XL: Third generation, 2x268MHz, 128MB RAM. The 3DS variants have autostereoscopic 3D displays. The 2DS is a hingle-less cheaper variant without 3D displays. Adds a left joystick. 3D cameras.
New 3DS, New 3DS XL, New 2DS XL: Fourth generation, 4x804MHz, 256MB RAM, second stick
So basically there are four generations. Each generation massively upgraded the performance while adding new features here and there.
Each of the generations (apart from the original DS) has size-variants that have bigger screens for a higher price and a larger size.
The DS and DS slim are identical apart from the fact that they managed to slim down the device with further development.
I didn’t ask how many generations they made, I asked how many VERSIONS did they make!
God fucking damn, is this question so hard to answer?!
If I’m tasked to fix one with a broken screen, what version and revision am I supposed to seek parts for?
Seems to me there must be at least 2 dozen versions by now, like how the fuck do I find parts if someone wants me to fix theirs?
Are you drunk?
I did post all versions.
If you are drunk, don’t post online. It makes you look like a fool.
Are you drunk? I asked for a simple number, not a fucking list.
You do know how to count, right? 1, 2, 3, 4, 12…?
Stop posting while drunk.
Who cares? Nobody forces you, if you don’t want to, don’t do it.
The job was assigned by the company I worked for dumbass, boss forces you, whether you think it’s fixable or not.
In that case, take that issue up with your boss. Has nothing to do with what we are talking about here.
Please take your drunk rear and go annoy someone else.
