i agree with pufffilms, why buy a buy a bunch of physical copies when you could just download CFW

Installing cfw specifically so you can get games is a valid reason to do so since you can't really get 3ds games anywhere else

Personally as someone whos getting themselves a New 2DS XL sometime for modding purposes, I like to keep my og consoles pure. I have two Wiis, one is my old primary unmodded one and the other is modded with homebrew, Project M, and some Wiiware. My old 3DS XL is still holding up after more than a decade and I have a ton of games physically and things I bought off the eShop on it. There is still some games I want or games I missed out on when they were on the eShop like the 3DS Kirby subgame spinoffs and the Dillon games, as well as a few DSiWare I didn't get. Also a few 3DS games in general have gone up in price so much it's not even funny, like look at the Pokemon games on 3DS, and especially Tomodachi Life so I don't blame people who can't afford some of the games and rather just download the roms.

*eating popcorn*

I have a Nintendo 3DS that I got in Amazon with New Leaf & Tomodachi Life, It costs $194. Soon I'm going to get a 3DS XL on Amazon & then, I'll get a Wii U

The Nintendo Network ID setup + settings are so good bro

Nostalgia is key when it comes to musical scores on video game home/handheld consoles.

(POV: A 3DS suddenly turns on and everyone in the room is hit with nostalgia)


That's how I feel about the Nintendo 3DS.


Also, due one on Saturday :D:D:D

My beloved 3ds you are so cool! Thank you for all you have done.

if nintendo wasnt so coorporate nowadays i would enjoy the "sWiTcH" a lot more

I discovered this soundtrack (probably) in 2023 and (definitely) on YouTube. I had never played a 3DS, and I had held one, at most, thrice. Listening to this still made me want to cry.

It saddens me to know that we’ll never get to know who composed these masterpieces. :(

man.. nintendo was magical back then...

Isn't the banner jingle labeled "NNID settings" the general placeholder?
I've seen this sound being used on DevMenu and default banners (the ones with the colors that just say "Banner")

nostalgia

Does anyone know what the Locked and Invalid banner themes are for?

It's April 8th. Servers are closing. Make sure to get Pretendo. I can't because my 3DS has issues that prevent me from modding it, but you guys should do it.

god, wow, hit me with that nostalgia... i feel like crying just listening to these tunes!

This album was updated on 16th of January, 2024.

Change Log:
Added unused jingle from firmware 1.0.0-0

i still have the 3ds sound title theme burned straight into my skull from all those years using soundhax... man better times...

The eshop theme used to be this theme but as time went on the theme was changed to a different one which according to my smart antics must mean these other themes come from games

Hey! Japanese games work on American 3DS if Luma is activated! You can find Japan versions of American games, as well as Japanese exclusives that you might download off the hShop! It is like having a Japanese 3DS! Because of region locking!

Well close it actually sounds like what a notification on 3ds xl would be like

(Banner) Health & Safety Information sounds like the 3ds startup sound
if there ever was

wifi settings (file_wifi_setup_01) is a bop

i broke my 2ds

Hello! And I finally have found my 3DS console! Also, the soundtrack of the 3DS is amazing! But, I really remember the 3DS history as well.
2011- Original 3DS
2012- XL
2013- 2DS
2015- New 3DS XL
2017- New 2DS XL

So, mom found my 3DS after a one year hiatus with no 3DS. And the model of the 3DS that I have is the New 3DS XL. And thanks mom for finding that 3DS and charge it. And I love it! Also, 3DS eShop was shut down by Nintendo but I can redownload my games on the 3DS. And thank you for reading this post.

So much memories. I just want to relive them by getting a new 3ds. I have the sd card from my progress. So I can see my videos again. It's also like a voice changer and video gallery in one. Where you can watch video and change it's effects. Ahh I loved doing that 🥰

The nostalgia hits so hard...

Please don't download the 11.17 3DS update yet because it prevents you from modding

I feel like Ninty has lost their magic. Wii, Wii U and 3DS had all these catchy tunes, and loads of built in apps. Then the Switch is just this silent baron thing... A few SFX but that's it. The magic is gone.

this is what you heard every time you snuck your 3DS at night, c'mon, we all did it.

This is the best handheld console ever and probably the best game console ever. I never even had that many games. I have like 10 games and 9 of them are Mario games and the other is Ultimate NES Remix. This is still my favorite console.

Why is this

Ah, the 3DS! One of the greatest Nintendo consoles of all time! When the 3DS was released in March 2011, it was a huge hit! Many people all over the world with a DSi wanted the new Nintendo 3DS. And they did! Expect some people get a 3DS later in September when there was a big price drop to $199.99 in North America. The greatest thing about the 3DS is its 3D feature. Many people are excited about the new feature of stereophonic 3D gaming. But, some people don’t like that 3D feature. Unlike other Nintendo handhelds except the DSi, the 3DS is region locked! The concept of region locking is fisrt discovered by Nintendo and did it to all of its home consoles except the Nintendo Switch and inducing the DSi and 3DS which are handhelds rather than home consoles. The biggest problem of the 3DS is lack of HD graphics. Many people are into the HD world which is 1080p HD in all electronics including their TVs and PCs. And many 3DS games can’t support HD graphics because of the screen resolution of 800x200 pixels which is not in full HD. However, like always the 3DS is a very good and big console with lots of software titles to choose from.

eshop dummy track is mario kart double dashes theme🏁

The music brings back so many good memories...

Yeah, anyone else who could recall the sound track used in the new 3ds trailer?
It's easy to be found but I'd really appreciate if it's here as well.

And there is probably much more excellent tracks remain uncollected.

ok

why does this make me wanna cry

Man this takes me back like this was yesterday it's too bad they're going offline and next year. March 2023 we better live and cherish to the good old days rest in peace and the coming year.

everyone else: *crying because nostalgia*
me: dude this settings banner slaps

I AM BACK AND STILL LOVE THIS MUSIC!!!

This brought literal tears to my eyes as I listened to it. Thank you for this nostalgia.

I cant thank you enough for adding the inital setup for the Eshop. I always thought it was an underrated/unkown song.

my favorite game nintendo 3ds original music

Sadly I've lost my original 3ds THANK YOU for making this, it brings back MANY memories.

I love the 3DS System Software's OST so much. So many bangers. :)

I remember going on my 2ds just to listen to the Nintendo network ID account settings song. :)

Thank you so much for uploading this. Makes me want to cry every time I hear these songs.

No problem dude! 🙂(y)

I haven't heard the Network ID setup in good quality for a very very long time. Thanks, Miles!

I did use caesar before.. I didn't like the results, except for Swapnote and eShop, those are the only apps that worked perfectly with it afaik.

I also didn't bother with 3DS SDK because of the reason you mentioned..

If someone can make an even better rip, I would appreciate it.

I guess the current recordings are the closest we can get for high quality ost.

There is a tool in the 3ds's SDK called "soundplayer". it can play 3DS sequences, unfortunately,3ds SDKs are hard to find, the only other way to get a good enough rip is by converting the sequence to midi using kr3nshaw's caesar tool and re-creating the effects. This HAS been done before for the Wii music rips uploaded on July 12th, 2020. It's pretty difficult and you'd have to do it for each sequence. this is all the knowledge I have on that, apart from that, an SF format could also be useful, but no such file format has been developed yet.

It seems as though these are audio line-in recordings.

Yeah, too bad the song never plays again after you do the 3d check.

The initial setup track always gets me, it's like it knows that it'll be listened to once and never thought of again by most people.

Hello QueenJazzy, I'm the one who uploaded the soundtracks. I'll explain why I didn't include more tracks.
AR Games and Streetpass Mii Plaza will have a separate album.
Face Raiders and eShop are already uploaded. (Will update them once I get all the tracks.)

Glad you enjoyed the album as much as I did. ^^

I literally cannot describe how happy I am. I'm on the verge of tears listening to some background 3DS music I haven't heard in about 3-5 years! I'm so glad that someone finally uploaded these! And in good quality, too! Only one piece of feedback from me: you could've added more songs. Thank you for doing this, though!

Glorious. Thank you so much for uploading these.

Some good songs, but I was looking for Streetpass Mii Plaza theme 4. I also couldn't find all of the Find Mii songs. I recommend making a Streetpass Mii Plaza album.

Sadly, the quality is so terrible that it's unlistenable.

This is good, but it needs more music, including recent versions of the Nintendo 3DS.
