I only ask, because that console is selling used where I live for about 200-300, but the 3dsxl is only about 100 if you find a good deal usually around 120.

That's insane these prices are still almost the original retail price. If I'm remembering correctly, most the post-intro titles didn't even take advantage of the 3D screens after awhile, so I'm confused on the draw for the new revision except that it's bigger.

You'd be better off just getting a vastly cheaper and more powerful handheld meant for modern emulation.

Yeah, but there's only one handheld with DS/3DS emulation in mind and it's not cheaper.

Well I have a steamdeck, but it’s annoying to emulate the 2 screens.

I also like have a cheaper device to carry around. That way I’m not too worried about it breaking or theft and I can just enjoy gaming in short bursts on the go.
