3Ds doesnt feel like retro gaming…but it has been a while. I found this on a peertube instance, so figured this community might like it.

Ah, back when Nintendo mastered the concept of using proven, slightly older technology, in genuine amusing and fun ways. The 3DS had StreetPass, Download Play, free AR games, a free Flipnote animation app, a sound editor, several hidden easter eggs, an interface that had themes and badges and trinkets.
Now you get a flat, soul-less interface with a lot, and I do mean a lot, of updates trying to stop pirates. They do not work. The browser also does not work. You’re getting sued for mentioning Nintendo in this post without the proper license, by the way.
they noticed they already have a captive audience and none of that will make them more money.
so they are now trying to squeeze pennies out of the pirates and the hobbiysts having fun with their ip.
When I got a Switch I was looking forward to those fun quirky menus Nintendo is known for. Imagine my disappointment when I turned it on for the first time.
Kinda reminds me of the same feeling I got when first opening the inventory UI in my preordered copy of Skyrim for the first time. 😬
Oh God that’s horrible. Thank God for mods and skyui.
