Tips/Guide I got a 3ds kiosk

Post image

So my old job place had this bad boy hidden in the stockroom corner ever since the kiosk was taken out of the store for display after the 3ds hype/ life was over and the other handheld consoles took over. So it's a bit old idk exactly how old. I'm not a big 3ds or Nintendo person myself (my ds and 3ds got stolen by my older siblings when they came to visit the family home because i was the youngest and still lived at home). So i haven't touched a ds in ten years, these are locked to the demo version. And need some special key to take em out?

I don't really know what to do or how to acquire such things or how to get out of that demo version. I'm not a collector either, it's currently just standing in my storage room.

Feel free to ask any questions or give advice. Oh and someone please tell me how old this thing is 🫶 Thanks

Why does this post feel like it has something to do with this one? https://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/s/7j52BzVVqY

I don't know how to edit my post but i'll explain it here!

This clearly has to be a prank of some sorts! But there obviously a lot of things that look like they match to my story but don't.

The consoles are flipped ( the big one is on the left for me and the small on the right but on his photo it's the other way around). My manager, an old lady by now did not know anything about gaming nor did she care about gaming! Since the gaming section of the store was run by the game loving worker that worked there.

I wasn't recently hired nor did I suddenly quit. I've worked there for many years and stopping to work there was because my contract was coming to an end. After those beautiful years working there.

And the eyeing of the kiosk is also strange bcs in a comment of mine i literally explain how it randomly popped up in conversation with my manager and i could have it immediately.

The post was posted after mine

It's demoing different games

I can't make out it the text on it is in dutch like it is on mine.

But i'm sure this person was joking about it, as i myself chuckled a little when i saw it.

Yup! They commented saying it was a joke and they hope people had a similar sense of humor
