what's up my fellow Nintendo fans today I'm going to be doing everyone a public service and telling you five reasons you should not mod your beloved Nintendo 3DS this video will save you a life of regret trust me so sit back and listen closely to my words of wisdom as many of you know modding your 3DS gives you access to a little something called the the oh God I can't even bring myself to say the word the h Shop it is in this little shop that Scoundrels can download 3DS games that people worked hard on for free a mod 3DS can lead to baby's first crime spree if you think about it and who knows maybe this can lead to a life of crime down the line one day you can be downloading Mario Kart 7 for free and the next you're sticking up your local o Fargo it's that simple and not only that but downloading games for free puts many 3DS and DS scalpers out of a job you can also use a Twilight menu to play DS games on your 3DS and do you really want to be the reason that someone on eBay can't sell Pokemon Black Version 2 for hundreds of what if this reseller needed that money to feed their kids huh I bet you feel like crap now and not only are you putting scalpers out of a job but you're also hurting Nintendo because if you download all these 3DS and DS games for free Nintendo won't be able to charge you for them down the line when they somehow add DS games to their Nintendo switch online service or when they want to re-release a 3DS game on their future console so please think before you download we've all heard people left and right say something along the lines of it's surprisingly easy to mod your 3DS and maybe they're right maybe you can Mar a 3DS in 30 seconds by looking up some guy on YouTube with too much fre time on their hands tell you how to do it but that's the issue what if you mod your 3DS and you get the modding bug you've unlocked unlimited possibilities by modding your 3DS and now you're no longer satisfied with your basic unmodded consoles this can lead to you wanting to do something heinous like mod your beloved Nintendo switch or maybe you're feeling especially naughty and decide you want to go back in time and mess with the past by modding your poor Wii U instead of letting a collect dust and die in peace like it should modding your 3DS is a gateway mod that leads to you trying to hack anything you can get your grubby hands on something tells me that anybody that can hack into the United States security system once moded their 3DS when they were younger just a hunch so I know I just mentioned how simple it can be the Modio 3DS but every once in a while you may miss a step in the modding process a very delicate process that requires your full attention at every turn and what happens when you don't follow the modding directions correctly your 3DS gets bricked which basically means it gets hit with a brick and you can no longer use it imagine how sad that is your 3DS will never forgive you if you killed it because it wasn't good enough for you in its basic state you just wanted the home brw launcher that bad that it cost you your entire console and honestly you kind of deserve it another reason you shouldn't mod your 3DS is that you need to let the past stay in the past if you own the 3DS ever since its launch then you've already created amazing memories with it when you were younger but you're older now and it's time to move on to bigger and better things in the video game Market how are you supposed to embrace the future if you bring your 3DS back from the dead huh You're basically telling Nintendo you don't want Innovation you'd rather stick with the dual screen 3D handheld you've had since you were like 10 moding your 3DS basically means you can't let go of the past and you're afraid of change which is maybe something you should talk to a professional about I'm no therapist and not only that you can get addicted to your 3DS again if you mod it because now that you have thousands of games downloaded onto it you got to take your console everywhere because now you got to clear your entire gaming backlog imagine if you missed the birth of your child because you were too busy beating Mario and Luigi Dream Team the last reason and arguably the biggest reason you shouldn't mod the 3DS is that you'll break Nintendo's heart Nintendo has been there for us through thick and thin they have been a part of our childhoods for decades and how do we repay them by doing the one thing they hate tampering with their precious consoles it's just it's just so sad all Nintendo does is give and give and all we do as consumers is take and take and ask for more the least we can do is respect their wishes when they say not to mod our consoles that we paid with our own money sure maybe they can be very unreasonable with how they limit access to some games but hey if Nintendo publish a game they have the right to take it out of this world okay and don't even get me started on how Modo 3DS to play online Mario Kart 7 basically slaps Nintendo in the face too that's basically saying that moders do a better job at creating their own online service than Nintendo and how disrespectful is that oh man I really better relax before I get too offended but yeah there it is my top five reasons on why you shouldn't model 3Ds if this video saved your soul make sure to drop a like And subscribe as you can tell I love Nintendo so if you're interested in more Nintendo content then make sure to stick around thanks for watching
