Since my vita can't emulate ds games properly and I want to get my hands on different handhelds, I want to buy me a second hand model. Would you recommend the form factor of 2ds for bigger hands or are 2ds and 3ds clamshells are no sweat?

I'd definitely recommend the clamshell xl 2ds or 3ds. Also if you can find it the new 3ds/2ds has a slightly more powerful processor and a second thumbstick which can be nice for emulation

Yea the cstick. Is it that good tho? Idk if it's meant to be a pointer or a right analog stick, never used such a thing.

[–] An_Zombie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's like a tiny right analog stick, also the new 2/3ds allows you to emulate she's natively

If you consider the second stick that important, you can always add it to an old 3Ds XL...

I bought the "Circle Pad Pro" for my old 3DS XL.
