I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play ‘backed up’ games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

I have a ton of different Nintendo consoles and lots of gameboy color cartridges for that reason. Good thing I collected them like 8 years ago because they are stupid expensive now

I have a bunch of those retro mini consoles on a cheap projector on an unprepared white painted wall (cheap projector and unprepped wall mimics crt blur very nicely)

As a kid I wanted a Neo Geo arcade cabinet… now I have Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown and Fatal Fury on a 100+ inch “screen” (Not to mention the other consoles and switch)

A Nintendo 3DS because I didn’t have a console (like ever) and it was cheaper than a switch.

I’ve only had time to play it a handful of times

Consider putting custom firmware on the 3DS - opens up lots of possibilities and gives you access to pretty much any game you could ever want

That’s like the first thing I did. It’s a Japanese 3DS so I needed to change the region on it. I still have all the original firmware files if I need to change it back

Awesome! Is it a special edition 3DS or is there a different reason for getting it from Japan?
