I picked up a 3DS recently, and then won a fairly-inexpensive auction for a bunch of games for the system.

On the one hand, they're shutting off the ability to purchase anything more on the 3DS as of March 2023 or so, but on the other, at the end of life for a system is one of the nice times to buy.

But hard to find other people who actively play it.

But I suppose that's different from computer gaming. I mostly haven't bothered there, but spent lots on a computer because I wanted to be able to run demoscene productions (and hopefully eventually make some), and, well, that requires something that can play the latest games.

So I guess I still have the expensive habit, if for a different reason.

But I do think your approach is a very good one -- you should be able to enjoy the games just as much, but at a small fraction of the cost. Definitely a good idea.
