Said no one ever.
Handheld gaming on the 3DS is better in every way (except portability)
MK7: tesco.com/dir…prd
Tomodachi: tesco.com/dir…prd

It can definitely play smash bros. Mine does quite happily! Just no 3d! That said I'm still considering an xl, just for the extra screen size.
Pre-installed

There's a few N3DS(New 3DS) exclusives that you can't play e.g. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and SNES Virtual Console. Otherwise 3DS games are all compatible.

The screens on 3DS have better image quality.
3DS has stereo sound without headphones
The D-pad feels more precise on 3DS
3D creates depth of field and more immersive
Some games not as good in 2D like Mario 3ds
The clamshell on 3DS protects screens.
3DS smaller and fits easier in pockets
3DS runs newer games better like Hyrule War.
New 3DS runs Xenoblade not on 2DS
New 3DS has second analogue stick
IMO it's worth paying more and getting a new 3DS. It really is a good machine and only some people are prone to headaches. I've played on mine hours with no side effects what so ever.
I got mine from ASDA for £50. Not overly impressed with either zelda or the built in mariokart. Even for emulation it's poor. Did like the 3D card thing though.
I prefer the OG clamshell design but this is made for 6 year olds as it is durable (no snapable hinges).
Great games like Pokemon ORAS/XY/Sun and Moon, Mario, Zelda etc.
At best it's smeary, at worst it's headache-inducing - I don't get how people use it.
I love Nintendo - some of the greatest gaming experiences ever made - but the 2DS/3DS is a bit of a turkey - the 2DS allows you to try out it's few (very few) gems at the lowest entry cost so that's the one I have but YMMV

As I said above, I love Nintendo but after playing games on an iPad or Android, playing games on the 2DS/3DS can be a bit - erm - clanky??
Loading times, graphical quality etc. all suffer.
Nice not to be spammed with ads and other nonsense but I wonder what people who've grown-up with mobile F2P gaming make of something like the 2DS/3DS - it's better in some ways but really dated in others?
Some people would crucify you for saying that
This version is for younger children who you shouldn't let use the 3D aspect as their eyes are still developing ie kids under 6 or 7 (I can't remember)
Also, this one is like £50 cheaper than a new 3DS, so not even a valid comparison
I'm holding off until we know more about the NX. If the NX a replacement for the 3DS then I might just get that, but for people who still want a 3DS, it'll surely drop in price when the NX launches in March, or perhaps in time for Christmas.
You'd have to check the serial number to be sure. Bundled pre-installs vary. Many are 9.3 upwards.
They did, it was called PS Vita and mine's been sitting in the drawer for last 8 months.

As long as its < 11 its gold for custom firmware
Do you know how difficult/easy this is for someone with limited tech knowledge?
It's difficult but it is long and involved. Took me about 5 hours one night to do one 3ds, but I was uber careful. The steps and therefore length of time it takes all depends on your current firmware version
If you google arm9loader hax and go to the first link it is the guide I used
Its not for the fainthearted. It certainly isn't a Vita/PSP hack where you put one file on the memory card, run it and boom its done.
I thought with the DS it was simply buy a R4 card, download the latest kernel file onto a SD card and you were away to go? (Once youve put the games on the card aswell)
Bought my son one for his 5th birthday,he loves it, especially Mario kart ,also picked up quite a few games cheap off eBay, keeps him entertained on long joyrneys
Yeah but Senran Kagura looks twice as good.
