About this one
TEST DATA. Nintendo 3DS in aqua blue, from the launch year, 2011.
TEST DATA. Playing, and the only handheld that runs the 3D library as it was meant to be seen.
It takes DS cartridges as well, which is half the reason to own one.
TEST DATA. Early 3DS screens scratch against the lower half when the lid is shut, and most examples show it.
This one was kept in its pouch. Both screens are clean under a raking light.
Condition
How it looks
TEST DATA. Light shine on the shoulder buttons. No scratches on either screen. Hinge tight.
How it works
TEST DATA. Charges and holds. Both screens even. 3D slider smooth across its travel. Card slot reads DS and 3DS cartridges.
Checked by Unseend in September 2026, before it was photographed and again before it is packed. Every photograph on this page is of this exact piece.
