Nintendo 3DS XL Console with Pokemon Y – Refurbished & 1-Year Warranty

This is your chance to own a fully working, nostalgia-packed Nintendo 3DS XL system—refurbished with care, tested for performance, and ready to relive the magic.

These consoles are second-hand and professionally restored. Everything works great, though you might see minor signs of previous use, like light scratches or surface wear. Each unit is cleaned, updated, and ready to play.

Note: These are original Japanese 3DS XL systems (NTSC-J) that have been converted to full U.S. firmware. That means:

  • Fully compatible with all North American 3DS XL and DS games
  • English system menus and gameplay just like a regular U.S. 3DS XL
  • eShop is permanently closed on all 3DS XL systems, so digital purchases are not supported
  • The console is mod-capable, though we do not offer or endorse any modifications

Included with every system: a Nintendo 3DS XL console, Pokemon Y cartridge, stylus, and a third-party AC adapter

You’ll be able to play the entire Nintendo 3DS XL library along with all Nintendo DS titles—bringing you thousands of legendary games across two generations.

Owen ★★★★★

The hinge and buttons all feel tight, no wobble at all, and the screens came clean with barely a scratch. Pokemon Y runs perfectly and the 3D slider still snaps into place like it should. A year of warranty on a refurb is honestly what sold me.

Stella ★★★★★

Wasn't sure about buying refurbished but honestly this thing runs like new — no dead pixels, hinges tight, and Pokemon Y was already loaded on it. The 3DS XL screen is way bigger than my old one and the 1-year warranty gave me peace of mind. Been playing it nonstop all week.

Charlotte Z. ★★★★★

The 1-year warranty gave me peace of mind, and the refurbished shell looks almost brand new with only the tiniest scuff on the corner. Fired up Pokémon Y and the 3D effect on the XL screen is crisp, plus the battery held through a solid four-hour session. For a used console, it's exactly the nostalg
