Editing Nintendo 3DS (section)

===Overall===
# The cameras have several issues:
#*Images taken with the New 3DS's inner camera tend to have a strange violet tint in certain lightings.
#*Videos recorded in the 3DS camera (especially the original) suffer from choppy frame rates and low resolution.
#Sadly, the 3DS eShop has been shut down since March 27, 2023, meaning digital-only games are no longer legally obtainable. This page is dedicated to that fact.
#Nintendo focused on the New 3DS models a little too much, basically persuading people to abandon their older models in favor of the newer ones.
#Unfortunately, the plastic used for the casing isn't very good, since it collects a lot of sweat and condensation can occur after playing for a long time.
#Unlike most Nintendo handhelds, this console has region-locking, while its competitor, the Vita, has no such issue. You can play DS games of any region, however.
#You can only have up to 300 digital titles simultaneously on the same console. On top of that, only 30 save backups can be stored on any SD card at a time, meaning you'll need to sacrifice your save data if you have more than 30 games and you delete one.
#Some people may suffer headaches and eye strain from overuse of the 3D mode (the manual does warn about this, however), so you have to use Parental Controls to turn off the 3D switch, especially for children 6 and under. Fortunately, the New 3DS/2DS looks less blurry and sharper.
#Unless you live in a high-population area, such as Japan, the StreetPass feature barely works properly.
#Many games that released late in the 3DS's lifespan don't play in 3D and didn't sell as well due to the Switch being out for two years since then.
#Despite being backwards compatible with DS games, none of the 3DS models have a GBA cartridge slot, meaning that, like the DSi and DSi XL, they are not compatible with GBA games. The only way you could get GBA games (of which there are around 10) was if you bought a 3DS before the price drop.
#PictoChat, a feature that was big on the DS family, is not available on the 3DS. However, the system does have two equivalents known as SwapNote and SwapDoodle.
#As of April 2024, online play has been discontinued, meaning it's now almost impossible to play multiplayer unless played locally.
