The list above is ordered by updated date, newest first, and each entry shows its original publication date next to the updated one. That matters for 3DS: a piece about a launch-era accessory or a first-year patch reads differently from a piece revised after a remaster, and the two dates let you tell which you are reading before you open it. Pieces that no longer describe a current product are kept as dated records rather than rewritten, because the original context is often the reason someone searched for them.

Where a piece mentions a game, a console or an accessory that has its own page on the site, the link is in the text rather than in a box at the end: a figure announcement leads to the game's install size, a controller piece to the compatibility matrix, a fix article to the error code's entry. The aim is that a reader who arrives at any one 3DS page from a search can reach the data behind it in one click, without going through the section hub.

3DS coverage sits inside the Nintendo section and follows the same rules as everything else on the site: dated pieces, facts attributed to the platform holder or manufacturer, and data kept on its own pages. A guide here links to the game's install size; a fix article links to the code's entry; a hardware piece links to the compatibility tables.

Questions about 3DS

What does the 3DS section on Game Idealist cover?

Everything published about 3DS: news as it was reported at the time, guides, fixes and hardware pieces, each with its original publication date and an updated date. Data such as install sizes and error codes lives on dedicated pages linked from the pieces.

How current is the 3DS information?

Each piece shows when it was published and when it was last updated. Data pages are re-checked on a rolling schedule; long-form guides are updated when the facts change, and older news stays online as a dated record.

Where are the 3DS file sizes and error codes?

In the file-size database and the error-code index, which cover every platform. The platform hubs list the sizes relevant to each console alongside the pieces about it.

Can I suggest a 3DS topic?

Yes, through the contact page. Requests that come with a store listing, an official support page or a manufacturer specification are the fastest to turn into a page.
