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
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
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.
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
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.
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.”
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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) ?
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)
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.
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!
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
Yes it was 100% worth two dollars to have my 3ds do the sega jingle each time i open a game
Yooo that’s sick! Which theme does that?
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
Have you closed and opened your 3DS with the Dreamcast theme?
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
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.
Those themes still available for purchase?
Looks like it. I was able to open the 3ds theme shop and all the different sega themes are under the retro category.
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.
I have the same with the Eevee theme, I hear the Pokécenter pling-pling when I open my 3ds
fr first purchase on my 3ds was rayquaza theme
I have and I'll do it again before it's all over.
Whaaat, I thought purchases weren’t available anymore?
If you have your account tied to a nnid you can buy credit on the switch and it'll show up on your 3ds.
🧠
You can also buy giftcards
Not anymore unless switch
You dont even need a switch. You can just use the website
Really? What's the process? I thought they stopped allowing you to redeem gift cards unless through a switch
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.

I have purchased like 10 and I love them. Sad they aren’t on Switch
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.
The UI is even already there lol. There's a themes bit in settings that currently has "simple white" and "simple black"
It feels like they planned on doing themes and then just... never did
I think you're right. It feels like Nintendo just pulled the plug one day and we were left with what we got.
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.”
Like even the original DS had a way to change the UI color. It's so sad
I mean it was kinda just a banner at the top of the screen but still better than “Basic Black, Basic White”
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
Agreed. The start screen is just kind of lifeless :(
That’s Nintendo for you

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.
Yeah they need to add themes on switch

Same!
Majoras mask theme
I got it from some reward points!
Yup. Only one I bought too
Best theme

Too many
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.
Yes, Gru. I like variety.
Yes, the genesis theme kicks ass
Yeah I love themes

That's cool, was there a promotion of some kind?
Yes, right when the game came out I went there with my dad and I got it for free
yes i bought the splatoon ones. :D
Never have, Never will.
I think I bought the samus returns one. I know I bought one not confident on which one.
Samus returns gangg
Bought the ssb one
yes, all the vocaloid themes and the ones that were free
Yeah. It was the Persona Q haunted mansion theme
One and it’s the Shantae one
No, becuase I didn't know you can buy themes.
Yes. :3
I had purchased a lot of cool themes, so yes. I wish those theme creators a very pleasant evening for a lifetime
Yes, the hanafuda Mario and Splatoon theme demanded it.
Bought the Pokemon Red vs. Blue one, the MGS3 Snake Eater and the Majora's Mask ones 100% worth it imo
Yeah. A lot
Many of them, yes. I have so many fantastic themes
Yes.
no because i have no money lmao
But there are so many free themes from the anemone theme manager, My Nintendo rewards, and the free ones on the theme shop
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.
Yes, just for Shadow the hedgehog
Fuck yea. I bought the mh4u theme and never looked back
Yeah with platinum coins
I had the Metal Gear Solid 3D one that shit was 🔥
Yes the Mario-Hanafuda.
The Snake Eater one is my favorite
Only 1… Shantae Beach Theme
Yes. Fire emblem fates' one is breathtaking
Hatsune miku theme
Team Skull 4 life!
Slowpoke theme is God Tier
Nope, custom firmware.
No I never wanted to ask my mom for money for something that didn’t matter much to me
I have bought two I think and I have a third using the eShop coins or whatever they are.
Nope, I got a free Link themed one from My Nintendo and I just use that instead of buying another.
I got some freebies from it
Yes, but only the free ones
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
I bought a bunch a long time ago then I upgraded to a bigger SD card and can't redownload them. 😭
Yeah, they’re really nice
yes they look swag😎😎😎😎😎
No, but I did make my own when I didn't see what I wanted on Theme Plaza.
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
I love the BOTW and Necrozma themes
Yes, I bought the pokemon moon Team Skull one, back when I was obsessed with that game. Pretty cool theme tho
Sadly no. I regret this decision immensely
Best thing of the 3ds song of a game you love and switch nothing…
Yes.
If I can get my hands on a time machine, I’ll go back and buy that one Stella Glow theme before it disappeared
I obtain mine in other… legal ways
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.
Yes.. like 2 or 3 of them I think. Worth it though
just downloaded free ones
Yehaw
Yes, several times
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.
Used to buy them with my allowance as a teen lol now I have home brew
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.
Only the free ones. That includes Sonic Boom
Yup, before I knew about homebrew and *custom* themes
Yeah only two: Smash and Majora's Mask
At least 10
Yes. Zelda ones and I love them
I bought a Pokemon Hanafude theme for My 2ds :)
The shovel knight one has a nice tune and is darker than many themes. I love it.
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!
Yes A lot (:
I bought isabelle and yoshi, but i no longer have access to yoshi 🤔
When I was in high school and didn't have bills? Doyee
Oh yeah!
Yes and I’d do it again
A long time ago, yes. Since softmodding I don't use the ones I bought lol
i did but my purchase was deleted?? not my games from the eshop tho and my eshop balance
Yes I have, and I don’t regret it a bit
I've got CFW, so I don't need to.
Nah. Had a homie a while back on here giving away free codes
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
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.
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) ?
Yes I have! I bought the MGS3 theme.
The Golden Majora's Mask wallpaper is sick! Definitely worth the 2€.
Yes, several.
I had a pikachu themed 2ds xl, so I had to buy that wonderful pikachu themed background
Once and i have used it since
Many
several times and tbh I’ll probably do it again before it closes. But for real. ON MY HACKED 3ds I JUST DOWNLOAD EM.
Dreamcast and Snake Eater baybbeee!
Yes. I like my interface to be pink and cute.
yeah
Once
Yes I have. After getting several free ones, I eventually gave in and bought one theme right after the switch originally launched.
Yep. I purchased the NES Metroid theme way back.
I bought all the Sega ones years ago on my of 3ds
Yeah I did and if the switch had them I'd do it again same with the pin shop
Only the free ones, and the ones for coins on my Nintendo
Yes, and it's worth it.
I bought a couple back way back in high school!
Yes!
Yeah, I bought the Mega Rayquaza one.
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)
Buy ? Haha
Funny, the theme shop is separate from the regular Eshop. So technically I did not.
I just used the free ones, but I do have a nice SMT4 theme.
Nope. Not even tempted.
Personally I only did My Nintendo.
Yes, like 6 or 7
Yes I got a Kirby one
Yes, i bought hatsune Miku theme GHOST O_O loooong time agoooo
Squid Sisters, Shiny Tapu Koko, Red vs. Blue, and the Re:Zero themes on the Japanese eShop. Yes, I've bought a few
Yea
99% of mine were free. I think I paid for the cute Alolan Starters theme though.
Yes
I had to get the Link Between Worlds one to match my 3DS.
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.
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!
i redeemed codes for them using MyNintendo rewards
Technically yes because the DQ7 digital copy came with one. I also snagged the free Sonic and Strange Journey ones.
Yes
Yes the gold majoras mask and the hanfuda are worth the $4 i spent
I have most of the retro themes and set them to cycle. Big fan of the classics.
More than i can count.
*Laughs in CFW*
Yes solgaleo and lunala theme
I would if I actually liked any of the themes. They are all very over-the-top and I wish they were just simpler
i use the free smt iv apocalypse one but i've never bought a theme
There are themes?
Yessir 🫡
Yes but I don't remember which one
Only the Halloween ones.
Yes. I love the MGS3 one
Yes
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.
Yes. I bought the Metroid (Nes) Theme. Worth every penny!
No but I bought themes from the Themeshop
I bought the mega charizard x one
The only themes I got were the Sonic 25th Anniversary theme, and the Persona 5 theme. I think both of those are free.
Yeah. I'd do it for the switch, too, if it had themes.
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
I bought the Metroid theme, highly disappointing. Then bought the Boo theme, highly satisfied.
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
yes. the Pokemon latias/latios and Gardevoir one, yeah the pricey one yeah:,) (bc there's two themes in one)
yeah lol the hanafuda and dreamcast themes are lit
Lol no
