The Nintendo 3DS Hits Different Now

I never expected that picking up a Nintendo 3DS would be one of the most interesting gaming purchases I would ever make. In this video I go through some of the handheld's history and its unique features, showcasing over a hundred of its games and sharing my own personal experiences with it, during its life and showing why it just hits different in the present day. I have been working on this video for months as a bit of a passion project. I hope you enjoy it.
