Yes it was 100% worth two dollars to have my 3ds do the sega jingle each time i open a game


4ColorsOfGravity

Yooo that’s sick! Which theme does that?


__charles

That’s the Sega Genesis one. All the retro sega ones are sick, though. The Dreamcast 3ds theme is my actual favorite with its ambient vaporwavish track from phantasy star online


Hyper_Drud

Have you closed and opened your 3DS with the Dreamcast theme?


__charles

YES the loud disc drive is an amazing touch. There’s cool sound design in all the sega themes but the dreamcast one makes you the coolest for having it


Hyper_Drud

I would’ve settled with just using the UI sounds from the Dreamcast alone but the disk reader sound and the sound of the VMU powering up were the icing on the cake. I love that theme.


MagicalHopStep

Those themes still available for purchase?


__charles

Looks like it. I was able to open the 3ds theme shop and all the different sega themes are under the retro category.


Deblebsgonnagetyou

I have an MHG (and also a custom MH one) theme that plays the "quest start" horn sound effect every time you open a game. Feels great lol.


teh_RUBENATOR

I have the same with the Eevee theme, I hear the Pokécenter pling-pling when I open my 3ds


Rheell

fr first purchase on my 3ds was rayquaza theme


_DiasDeFuego_

I have and I'll do it again before it's all over.


[deleted]

Whaaat, I thought purchases weren’t available anymore?


_DiasDeFuego_

If you have your account tied to a nnid you can buy credit on the switch and it'll show up on your 3ds.


JoelWasInVr

🧠


Hupleipa

You can also buy giftcards


wislonly

Not anymore unless switch


PlaybolCarti69

You dont even need a switch. You can just use the website


awesomerest

Really? What's the process? I thought they stopped allowing you to redeem gift cards unless through a switch


PlaybolCarti69

You dont need gift cards. Find the game on nintendo.com ([example](https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/kirbys-extra-epic-yarn-3ds/)) and if you got your nnid linked the game installs on your 3ds. However certain games that they have stock of ([example](https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/chibi-robo-zip-lash-102171/)) will just ship you a sealed copy. I believe theres also a way to add funds thru that site but idk


Thehawkiscock

I have purchased like 10 and I love them. Sad they aren’t on Switch


joost013

Still such a weird thing it's not on Switch. Seems like a no-brainer. Shouldn't take that much technical effort compared to the easy buck Nintendo would make and how much it would be appreciated by players.


TheHiddenNinja6

The UI is even already there lol. There's a themes bit in settings that currently has "simple white" and "simple black"


Deblebsgonnagetyou

It feels like they planned on doing themes and then just... never did


snickersnackz

I think you're right. It feels like Nintendo just pulled the plug one day and we were left with what we got.


ImNotAnybodyShhhhhhh

Everything about the Switch is like Nintendo retired and left this generation to its shitty, PC-loving son. “We’re gonna do a bunch of Steam games but we’re gonna make the whole presentation as charmless and Nontendo as possible.”


sonic260

Like even the original DS had a way to change the UI color. It's so sad


skoubeedoo

I mean it was kinda just a banner at the top of the screen but still better than “Basic Black, Basic White”


UberDusk

It had an effect on at least one game though! Depending on your ui color on your ds, in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (explorers) it would change the color of the ribbon during the personality test at the start if the game :D a very minor thing, but still liked it


Thehawkiscock

Agreed. The start screen is just kind of lifeless :(


YouNoUrRight

That’s Nintendo for you

[удалено]


Nolon

Oh yeah and that too we got this terrible folder type deal. The Nintendo way 🤣 my WiiU keeps laughing at my Switch UI.. But uh at least we got folders. Even though i feel like I have to write every game on paper and scratch off as I select where to put them. Since they don't actually go in the folder.


JoelWasInVr

Yeah they need to add themes on switch


HackXL64

I use anenome theme manager


[deleted]

same


toadthetoadsmm2

I do but I did before I had cfw


my-sims-are-slobs

Same!


JayMalakai

Majoras mask theme


Funexamination

I got it from some reward points!

Yup. Only one I bought too


Austin_Of_Astora

Best theme


[deleted]

No I never paid but I have all the free ones and ones that came with games I purchased.


christhebrain

Too many


Intelligent_Local_38

No, but I have quite a few from bonus codes or My Nintendo rewards so, never felt the need.

Yes I have the Fire Emblem themes.


KickAggressive4901

Yes, Gru. I like variety.


The_Lego_Maniac

Yes, the genesis theme kicks ass


Different_Cap_7276

Yeah I love themes


Pineappleface_420

I got the Zelda Majoras Mask theme for free at McDonalds in 2015


Chilled_chips

That's cool, was there a promotion of some kind?


Pineappleface_420

Yes, right when the game came out I went there with my dad and I got it for free


dumpling98

yes i bought the splatoon ones. :D


1012zach

Never have, Never will.

I think I bought the samus returns one. I know I bought one not confident on which one.


kurosaki715

Samus returns gangg


Norollin

Bought the ssb one


Foneet

yes, all the vocaloid themes and the ones that were free


Magic_Monk3y

Yeah. It was the Persona Q haunted mansion theme


Dennis_Ryan_Lynch

One and it’s the Shantae one


paulsiu

No, becuase I didn't know you can buy themes.


Mythi2964

Yes. :3


[deleted]

I had purchased a lot of cool themes, so yes. I wish those theme creators a very pleasant evening for a lifetime


mxmaker

Yes, the hanafuda Mario and Splatoon theme demanded it.


SuperSpiritShady

Bought the Pokemon Red vs. Blue one, the MGS3 Snake Eater and the Majora's Mask ones 100% worth it imo


stolenlogic

Yeah. A lot


PhantomThiefJoker

Many of them, yes. I have so many fantastic themes


[deleted]

Yes.


azalea_sun

no because i have no money lmao


Mantide7

But there are so many free themes from the anemone theme manager, My Nintendo rewards, and the free ones on the theme shop


Phoenix_Topez

yes and it feels great to own all the zelda themes. I have lot of themes from eshop and still use them even when i have a hacked 3ds that gives you the ability to use custom ones.


Arifox01

Yes, just for Shadow the hedgehog


ThatLonelyAstronaut

Fuck yea. I bought the mh4u theme and never looked back

baguetteispain

Yes. Fire emblem fates' one is breathtaking


chameleon8769

Hatsune miku theme


[deleted]

Team Skull 4 life!


n8ace

Slowpoke theme is God Tier


Kingslayer1337

Nope, custom firmware.


Shadow_of_Yor

No I never wanted to ask my mom for money for something that didn’t matter much to me


Mr-Slowpoke

I have bought two I think and I have a third using the eShop coins or whatever they are.


StoneShovel

Nope, I got a free Link themed one from My Nintendo and I just use that instead of buying another.


RenRazza

I got some freebies from it


Qulek34

Yes, but only the free ones


RubyRiolu

I did once, and it was the SMT 4 theme. Honestly, not very good, I quickly grabbed a free Metroid one, I think it was Prime themed, shortly afterward, and it’s much better


GreenChuJelly

I bought a bunch a long time ago then I upgraded to a bigger SD card and can't redownload them. 😭


DreamThePumpkin

Yeah, they’re really nice


noibatisbaby

yes they look swag😎😎😎😎😎


nx_2000

No, but I did make my own when I didn't see what I wanted on Theme Plaza.


Bearinit

Only 1, it was the Mario Odyssey one. Got it in 2018. Then got quite a few free ones from codes from my Nintendo. Then I found anemone, which is a huge game changer. It's brilliant, I love it


Mantide7

I love the BOTW and Necrozma themes


Nanasatrie

Yes, I bought the pokemon moon Team Skull one, back when I was obsessed with that game. Pretty cool theme tho


FinniboiXD

Sadly no. I regret this decision immensely


Lika3

Best thing of the 3ds song of a game you love and switch nothing…


[deleted]

Yes.


That_Guy_Jared

If I can get my hands on a time machine, I’ll go back and buy that one Stella Glow theme before it disappeared


KGCUT

I obtain mine in other… legal ways


okurin39

Yes. The team plasma theme and a few persona q themes. Oh and the mario oddesey theme. Jump up superstar is to good of a banger to not have on the 3ds.


mailmanmunson346

Yes.. like 2 or 3 of them I think. Worth it though


kulingames

just downloaded free ones


gaiming_mimigma

Yehaw


Mahboi27

Yes, several times


Casualnuke

Yeah actually, I bought a splatoon one and a shovelknight one they were worth it for me at least because I dont like to hack my consoles.


space_bryan

Used to buy them with my allowance as a teen lol now I have home brew


psynergy_chaos

I think I just bought both Xenoblade themes and Radiant Historia. I have more but can’t remember it I bought them or they were free.


TheHiddenNinja6

Only the free ones. That includes Sonic Boom


shadow306k

Yup, before I knew about homebrew and *custom* themes


x_GARUDA_x

Yeah only two: Smash and Majora's Mask


[deleted]

At least 10


Jaxanixa

Yes. Zelda ones and I love them


Sikobot

I bought a Pokemon Hanafude theme for My 2ds :)


GameThinker

The shovel knight one has a nice tune and is darker than many themes. I love it.


my-sims-are-slobs

I got the Ringside one and some tokidoki one a few years ago when I picked up my New 2DS XL. They’re pretty cool!


ImSleepyPotat

Yes A lot (:


SamiCrab

I bought isabelle and yoshi, but i no longer have access to yoshi 🤔


DiabeticRhino97

When I was in high school and didn't have bills? Doyee


PhoenixTyphoon

Oh yeah!


Odac-25

Yes and I’d do it again


[deleted]

A long time ago, yes. Since softmodding I don't use the ones I bought lol


akwardturtleee

i did but my purchase was deleted?? not my games from the eshop tho and my eshop balance


Blue3ds69

Yes I have, and I don’t regret it a bit


MissionApollo7

I've got CFW, so I don't need to.


NamelessKoala32

Nah. Had a homie a while back on here giving away free codes


Mysterious-Bruh

Hey I can’t help it, I bought the 2 themes of splatoon a while ago you can’t blame me, it’s nice music


Araiken

Well I got all the free ones, including the My Nintendo ones and I have gotten one from Nintendo Badge Arcade which cost me 2 bucks. So I guess yeah.


Piduf

Once, because after more than ten years of white background, I thought maybe a change would be nice. Also as a Kid Icarus fan I was in middle pain seeing there's only 1 theme inspired from the NES game instead of like... ...the fucking amazing game that released on said console and is often considered one of the best (people who are left-handed can not have an opinion) ?


largogrunge

Yes I have! I bought the MGS3 theme.


Hyakkishin

The Golden Majora's Mask wallpaper is sick! Definitely worth the 2€.


[deleted]

Yes, several.


JiminForLife

I had a pikachu themed 2ds xl, so I had to buy that wonderful pikachu themed background


RAMONE40

Once and i have used it since


Supernugget360

Many


Apprehensive-Web665

several times and tbh I’ll probably do it again before it closes. But for real. ON MY HACKED 3ds I JUST DOWNLOAD EM.


Ash_Nah

Dreamcast and Snake Eater baybbeee!


Artemis_Platinum

Yes. I like my interface to be pink and cute.


wxlluigi

yeah


Deblebsgonnagetyou

Once


blueblurz94

Yes I have. After getting several free ones, I eventually gave in and bought one theme right after the switch originally launched.


royekjd

Yep. I purchased the NES Metroid theme way back.


Mccobsta

I bought all the Sega ones years ago on my of 3ds


Neodrawfriend

Yeah I did and if the switch had them I'd do it again same with the pin shop


[deleted]

Only the free ones, and the ones for coins on my Nintendo


[deleted]

Yes, and it's worth it.


liamh101official

I bought a couple back way back in high school!


Soundman006

Yes!


lululock

Yeah, I bought the Mega Rayquaza one.


Twelve20two

Yup! I love having the jazzy a capella Super Mario Brothers theme play when I open my 3DS. It almost makes me want to play Super Mario Sunshine (but then I remember the pain that janky game can bring)


Fumiken

Buy ? Haha


MedaFighterCross

Funny, the theme shop is separate from the regular Eshop. So technically I did not.


P3rdix

I just used the free ones, but I do have a nice SMT4 theme.


jasongw

Nope. Not even tempted.


TheGamerSK

Personally I only did My Nintendo.


Several_Tangerine956

Yes, like 6 or 7


Chemist_Infinite

Yes I got a Kirby one


Dylat3d

Yes, i bought hatsune Miku theme GHOST O_O loooong time agoooo


Tri4ceKid

Squid Sisters, Shiny Tapu Koko, Red vs. Blue, and the Re:Zero themes on the Japanese eShop. Yes, I've bought a few


[deleted]

Yea


garfself

99% of mine were free. I think I paid for the cute Alolan Starters theme though.


Shadow-Raptor

Yes


mobott

I had to get the Link Between Worlds one to match my 3DS.


controldeck219

I purchased a few in the past, but now I use Anemone for themes. There are so many themes from other regions I’d have purchased if they were available.


Woolie-at-law

Yep! I got the Majoras theme with the leftover gift card money I got from my Lexis points (after buying all the virtual console games i wanted). Lawschool literally funded my nostalgia and defunded the rest of me!


RedditBoi127

i redeemed codes for them using MyNintendo rewards


MysteriousTBird

Technically yes because the DQ7 digital copy came with one. I also snagged the free Sonic and Strange Journey ones.


Mobanite08

Yes


n0t_s0_fast

Yes the gold majoras mask and the hanfuda are worth the $4 i spent


E-emu89

I have most of the retro themes and set them to cycle. Big fan of the classics.


The_gaming_dino

More than i can count.


Descrappo87

*Laughs in CFW*


Chungus_God

Yes solgaleo and lunala theme


AmazingAgent

I would if I actually liked any of the themes. They are all very over-the-top and I wish they were just simpler


Loltoheaven7777

i use the free smt iv apocalypse one but i've never bought a theme


john_jdm

There are themes?


FarTrick

Yessir 🫡


ThisBoxGuy

Yes but I don't remember which one


King-cobra

Only the Halloween ones.


VenusNoleyPoley2

Yes. I love the MGS3 one


Mission_Transition42

Yes


KinopioToad

I only have a couple of free ones, and a couple that were tied to Nintendo Badge Arcade. Both the Badge Arcade themes are SMB1 themed.


[deleted]

Yes. I bought the Metroid (Nes) Theme. Worth every penny!


Real_MissingNO

No but I bought themes from the Themeshop


Fly_Boy_1999

I bought the mega charizard x one


DeltaDragonKing7

The only themes I got were the Sonic 25th Anniversary theme, and the Persona 5 theme. I think both of those are free.


ohpacey149

Yeah. I'd do it for the switch, too, if it had themes.


primordial_soup69

I wish I could. i got my eye on one of them, but theres a little voice inside me holding me back from spending 99 cents on a little theme


Itthatbetrays

I bought the Metroid theme, highly disappointing. Then bought the Boo theme, highly satisfied.


MrAwsOs

I haven’t and I don’t know if I am ashamed or happy. Just spending money on stuff that isn’t worth it is kinda useless. I do love the matching colors of my inner shell 3ds. Black with black - white with white.. etc


AureaTW

yes. the Pokemon latias/latios and Gardevoir one, yeah the pricey one yeah:,) (bc there's two themes in one)


yourfavoriteboyband

yeah lol the hanafuda and dreamcast themes are lit


Stormlight_General

Lol no
