The exact console

Real photos and individual condition notes, so you know what you're buying.

I stand behind my builds

30-day repair support for qualifying hardware issues present on arrival.

Handpicked builds, ready to discover.

Every finish has its own personality. See the photos, condition notes, and details before choosing your favorite.

SMALL SHOP. BIG PERSONALITY.

Not mass-produced. Not another shelf of identical consoles.

Each PowerUpPocket build starts with previously owned original hardware. I clean, customize, inspect, and test it individually, then share photos and detailed condition notes for the exact console. The price reflects its individual condition, too.

Kirby Pink Stardust • Custom Nintendo 3DS XL

“Absolutely stunning, it's alot more glittery in person. Stylus works great too. The D-pad is a little loose, but I think it won't be too much of an issue. Big ass upgrade from a regular 2Ds.”
