this is why the 2ds was a strict downgrade. 3d capabilites, i could take them or leave them, but no hinge?
Nintendo handhelds (prior to the Switch) are famously underpowered, have a physical power switch or an extremely efficient standby, and are conservative on the charge levels they consider a full or empty battery. They tend not to wear out their batteries! If you still have one you forgot about and haven't used in years it will probably turn on and work immediately
so all those times I ran mine out of power I didn't really run it out of power? It still had like, secret hidden power?
