Hello everyone,
I was given a 3ds last year from a friend, but I'm wondering if it's worth keeping. I'm more of a PC gamer, and barely played any 3ds games. I am also not interested in Pokemon or Legend of Zelda titles. My genre is more RPG/open world. In which the 3ds has no titles for. The trade in value at Gamestop is $50.00...what do you guys think is the best option? thanks!

I personally am a HUGE nintendo fan, so I would say keep it, but based on what you've said, I'll go more into it.

First things first, what kind of 3ds is it? I'm assuming based on the trade value that it's the original kind. Nintendo is still supporting it since they released recently the 2ds XL, so they're not abandoning it even though the switch is out.

For the games though, you said you like open world/RPGs, but you weren't interested in Pokémon or LoZ? That doesn't make sense since Pokémon is a whole series of RPGs and both series are open world... But also Monster Hunter 3/4/generations are 3ds exclusive and are your traditional style of RPG. They have crafting, an open world, items, monsters, quests, NPCs, stats, etc. Even...

Some people swear by the Monster Hunter series. Also, there is fantasy life, which yes, does look like a kids game, but it has exploration, crafting, shops etc. etc.

I think you should sell your 3DS on Ebay or Kijiji if you mostly play on PC, trade-ins get would so little. I mostly play on PC as well but I keep mine for when I travel or when I get bored of my PC games or have family or friends with 3DS` that come over. Pokémon has always been an open world/RPG and so is Legend of Zelda. In fact Pokémon is a turn based open world RPG and Legend of Zelda is an open world RPG.
