the B button on my 2DSXL has started being sticky/squishy today and I'm not sure why. I don't eat while playing so I doubt it was any of the various sticky syrups and sauces I imbibe. any tips for how to fix it that don't involve taking it apart or paying Nintendo $50 to do it

If it’s a New 2DSXL, then you’re definitely under warranty still and Nintendo should fix that for free. Call them.

It's fairly similar to the other titles. If you liked the other EO games, you'll like it. If you didn't, it won't change your mind on the series.

The EO producer did an interview a day or so ago where he said the final EO 3DS game isn't Untold 3 and it'll be the true culmination of the series so far, with "so much mapping you'll be sick of it"

I swear I read a quote when EO5 came out here that it would be the last 3DS one and that the next one would be very different or something. Aw well, I'm cool with more 3DS games happening.

So I'm planning on getting a 3ds once I start my new job next month, but I never had a DS before so I wanted to try out some old DS games. Does Nintendo sell any old DS games in there eShop and is there a list somewhere of what's worth getting?

Someone can correct me, but I believe the only place that sells old DS games is the Wii U eshop. The only DS games you can download on the 3DS are the old DSiware games.

You have to buy used DS games at this point. You’d probably be better off just getting a flash card since there’s a huge amount of fake DS carts online.

Notable games for me would be:

The World Ends with You
Trauma Center 1 & 2
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Professor Layton series
Contra 4
Henry Hatsworth
Okamiden
Wario Ware Touched
Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story

A lot of the other best stuff has been released or remade on a ton of platforms so I skipped that (Chrono Trigger, Etrian Odyssey, etc).

Skip Animal Crossing on Dzs and get New Leaf.

Get the DS port of Chrono Trigger. It's excellent. Don't buy it on a loving phone.

This.

Hotel Dusk and the sequel are good finds, too.

Also, I suggest getting a decent size SD card for your 3DS, as a lot of retail games are also downloadable, and there are a ton of cool exclusives on the eShop as well.

Generally you want to start with the latest Pokémon, and Ultra is an expanded version of Sun/Moon, so if you're going to catch 'em all just get one of the Ultras.

This might be :files: but is the best way to emulate DS games a flash card or on a PC? If it's a flash card, what is a good one for the New 3DS, and what would I need to roll it?

Turns out that collecting DS games is fairly expensive.

Ideally you should get a DS flashcart with an ntrboot mode, because aside from running DS games those models also make it very easy to jailbreak your 3DS firmware regardless of which version you have installed.

There's a list here: https://3ds.guide/ntrboot
