I feel like the 3DS is a great starter system too particularly because it felt like it could do anything, even without having any games for it. You had the back of the box and huge manual showing all these features, like the camera with all its effects and photography tips, the sound to record and listen to music if you had anything to read SD cards, Mii Maker to make your own characters, Face Raiders and AR cards for built in games that you could integrate in real life, StreetPass and the step tracker + activity log to incentivize going outside with it, and even DS compatibility allows for Download Play and the eShop had demos and random free things, as well as the internet browser and Miiverse also existing later on. Also it was even in 3D which was like the least of its selling points in retrospect but it worked for the name.For me it was 3DS and I thought it was a cool system
dude I was looking for the name of this shit for years since I remember having it but not its name thank you so much
coolI think the first time I played a video game was at my older cousin who emulated Mario 64 and, weirdly enough, I played it with some joystick kinda thing. It was very fascinating. My cousin's in jail now for robbing a sports bar
Later I got a GBA SP in tribal design. My parents didn't have money for a DS. I played Emerald on it. I couldn't read at the time, it was very interesting. I remember I had a Blaziken with Earthquake, a Linoone that was my surfer and a Machoke. Don't remember the rest of the team. I always wanted to trade with my classmates, but I didn't have a link cable and everyone else had DSes
