  • Kit and Krysta showcased their Nintendo 3DS collection, boasting unique editions and sealed classics.
  • The scarcity of physical 3DS game media due to server closures has led to inflated prices, making game acquisition expensive.
  • The hope remains for Nintendo to offer DS and 3DS games on the Nintendo Switch Online service for wider accessibility.

Ex-Nintendo staff members, Kit and Krysta, have revealed their remarkable Nintendo 3DS collection in a video. Drawing from their tenure at Nintendo and involvement in the 3DS lifecycle, they have curated a collection exceeding 100 items.

Owning a physical Nintendo 3DS game collection has become a luxury in the wake of Nintendo's server shutdowns for the 3DS and Wii U. This shift has propelled the prices of physical 3DS game media to unprecedented heights, posing a significant barrier to acquiring new games for the handheld console.

When Kit and Krysta unveiled their expansive 3DS Collection on YouTube, fans were captivated by its depth and variety. Their assortment includes over 100 items, featuring coveted pieces like the special edition of Fire Emblem Fates and the collector's edition of Bravely Default with exclusive AR Cards compatible with the Nintendo 3DS camera. Nintendo's innovative features, like AR reading, set the 3DS apart in the gaming landscape.

Within Kit and Krysta's collection are sealed copies of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D and Pokemon Ultra Moon, which, despite being in pristine condition, do not command exorbitant prices. However, a sealed copy of Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, valued at an average of $170 in mint condition according to PriceCharting, stands out as one of the most expensive Nintendo 3DS games available.

Kit and Krysta, who held roles as Director of Social Marketing and Original Content, and Senior Manager of Creator Relations at Nintendo, respectively, received copies of new games from Nintendo to deepen their understanding of the titles. This practice allowed them to amass a wealth of gaming insights, such as noting that New Super Mario Bros. 2 was among the pioneering Nintendo games to introduce DLC.

For individuals without an extensive collection like Kit and Krysta's but eager to experience Nintendo 3DS games, the possibility remains that Nintendo may integrate DS and 3DS titles into the Nintendo Switch Online service. While some fans have preserved numerous Nintendo 3DS games and additional content, official and legal avenues to play these games on modern platforms are currently lacking.
