I recently imported a 3ds xl from the US, after playing with it for a while I noticed that the hinge was really wobbly, such that it moves under its own weight and affects gameplay as it feels weird in the hand....
So does anyone else have the same issue as me? And in this situation should i send it in for repair, and how?
Same here. I also thought mine was busted but after some research it turned out to be quite "normal". Like the top screen scratches were on the original 3DS. I was so glad to be rid of the scratch problem that the loose hinge didn't bother me at all after a while. I actually don't notice it at all now.
Some people here have mentioned that it could be to protect the hinges from snapping/breaking. But a person can't help wondering about the quality control when it comes to Nintendo's handheld devices.
Yea I get it that they did that to prevent it from cracking, but I don't like the free movement without resistance which in turn causes the xl's weight to shift
