The Nintendo 3DS launched in the US on March 27, 2011. Now that you’ve got that shiny new Nintendo 3DS, you’re going to want to get some accessories for it. These can be protectors, cases or accessories of a customization type. I’ve rounded up five of the best accessories to consider when getting a 3DS console.
# 5 – 3DS Stylus X-tend Bundle – ICON Rainbow
The 3DS, like its predecessors, has 2 LCD screens, one of them touch. Although the 3DS already comes with a stylus, these can often be easily lost or misplaced. Having an extra pack of pencils will allow you to spend less time searching for a pencil and more time playing games. The different colors also give your 3DS a more “personalized” touch.
# 4 – PDP Nintendo 3DS Car Charger
What is a portable gaming device with no battery charge? A useless one that is! Make sure to pick up one of these Nintendo 3DS car chargers to keep your 3DS charged on the go. Don’t run out of battery in the middle of a game.
# 3 – Hard Case for Nintendo 3DS – by HORI
Hori has been making quality accessories for many years. This generation is no exception. Choose a hard bag from Hori 3DS and be sure to keep your new 3DS nice and protected. This particular hard bag features a reinforced exterior, 3 game card system and storage, and is officially licensed by Nintendo.
# 2 – 3DS Screen Protectors (2-Pack) by ICON
With the 3DS touch screen, there is sure to be a lot of contact with its beautiful LCD screen. Make sure to protect it from unwanted scratches and tears. This 2-pack screensavers from Icon will do that job. Not only does it extend the life of your handheld, it can also improve screen images. A cleaning cloth and application card are included with this easy-to-apply protector.
# 1 – 3DS Starter Kit by ICON
The number one accessory to get with your new Nintendo 3DS is the 3DS Starter Kit from, again, Icon. Icon has really stepped up the game this time around and offers an all-in-one solution for your launch day needs. This kit includes basically everything mentioned above, and more. In addition to extra stylus pens, a car charger, a case, and screen protectors, you also get a cleaning cloth and noise-canceling headphones!
So there you have it friends. These accessories should help you set up and provide the best experience with your 3DS. Happy game!
