Nintendo 3DS Architecture
What is mind-boggling to me is that it includes an actual, physical, hardware Gameboy Advance CPU in it for when it's playing Gameboy Advanced games.<p>I was one of the people who used the 'Ambassador Program' due to paying ~$250 USD or so for it up front (I pre-ordered the blue one, was hyped in the years leading up to it, read every rumor, loved it to death). The program gave a bunch of free games, some not on the eShop, as an apology for the extra $70 or so cost when they sharply dropped the cost of the console not long after release.<p>I was happy with it.<p>Mario Kart Super Circuit was a part of my childhood growing up, and I played that one not too rarely. Using the already-amazing swivel-joystick with it was a dream.<p>Knowing it was actually running on a real-life GBA CPU, like the old one I used to have and played games on all the time growing up, somehow makes it even more special of a memory.<p>Wow. Thank you for writing this article, Rodrigo. Much love. <3 :'))))
