How I Would START a NEW 3DS Game Collection TODAY (2023) | Where to Buy & What to Prioritize

Hi everyone! In light of the upcoming eShop closure I wanted to make a buying guide on collecting physical 3DS games before this coming March. In this video I go over where I would buy 3DS games and also how I would go about prioritizing titles if I were starting my collection from scratch TODAY.

I'm sure I omitted a few important things in this video. If there's anything you would like to add to help other 3DS collectors be sure to drop a comment down below!

In the video I also showed some Japanese sites where you can potentially import Japanese 3DS consoles. After showing the standard eBay option the video then cut to Amazon Japan and Mercari Japan. I plan to release a video that'll go more in-depth about Japanese proxy shopping if this is of interest. I'll most likely be just importing Asian-English games but I'll be sure to share how to import consoles in that video as well.

This video is based off of my previous video 'How I Would START A NEW JRPG Collection TODAY (2023) | Choosing Favorites & Prioritizing Publishers':    • How I Would START A NEW JRPG Collecti...
