Note

what does o3ds mean /genq

there are 2 3DS eras, the original/old 3DS (consoles without the cstick) and the new 3DS, (consoles with the cstick)

they look different, have different hardware ect, but they run the same games. the n3DS is generally more stable (largely because they are newer) but they are more expensive. Also typically people just got the o3DS because the old/new naming convention confused a lot of people.

old 3DS vs New 3DS

also to be completely clear, the o in o3DS is not part of the "official" name or anything, its just there to differentiate it from 3DS's as a whole. the n3DS and o3DS have different hardware so separating the two during discussions can sometimes be important

#if it helps you can think about it as wii vs wii u. they r different consoles that largely run the same games #(though obviously wii u : wii has a lot more differences than o3DS:n3DS)#asks #i dont know though if o3DS is commonly used outside of my lexicon #i probably picked it up somewhere but i couldnt tell you where #its just the name to me #also for the 2DS its not technically needed because all 2DS's are old and all 2DSXL's are new #but i typically add them because otherwise it feels unbalanced idk
