welp my "New" Nintendo 3DSXL is dead/aka not really worth trying to repair
buuut nintendo will replace it with a "New" Nintendo 2DSXL
And it only cost me 109 dollars cad

aka if you guys have a 'New' Nintendo 3ds XL that's showing it's age/has sticky buttons, maaaay be worth trying nintendo to see if they'll replace it

it's cheaper than buying a random second hand one
