Broken dreams, broken consoles. (The Console Mishaps Thread)

I'm very glad that the 3DS is on the way out (albeit taking a long time to get there), because mine's a tad fragile itself. Having foolishly not saved for a while in M&LSS, the power just went. It still had battery life left, it just... does that occasionally. Not sure why, loose connection or something. Repeating progress here we come...

That's what happened to my second DS Lite, the white one. Hope yours stays well for long enough.

Cheers sir, fingers crossed. I have a whole Metroid game I want to play after this!

I noticed this morning that the Circle Pad on my 3DS is cracking down the middle. Unlike yer man Balla, I've got a fair few games I want to finish on it. It feels like I'll be getting me a cheap 2DS before too long.

Sad to hear sir! That, and the fact you're opting for a 2DS. I don't blame you, Nintendo themselves are obviously moving away from it, but the glasses-3D is for me the best gimmick a Nintendo console has come up with until the hybrid nature of the Switch.

Isn't the only 3DS you can buy now new is a New 3DS XL which is a great system but the either of the 2DS's seem such better buys with a limited number of games still coming to the platform.
