Define "too old". You're only too old to do something when you are so old you're physically incabable of doing it. If you enjoy something there's no real reason to stop doing it at a certain age because someone else thinks you're "too old" to do it.

 

That doesn't mean that if you whip out your ds on the bus people won't stare at you weirdly and think to themselves that you're childish and immature. Not that any of them has ever touched a ds, mind you, but videogames have been fed to "common" people as little more than immature child toys and that's the stigma they have. If you're comfortable with that, play it all you like, but be aware it's going to happen. It's wrong, but it will happen.

Strange question, but are you ever too old to have/use a DS/3DS? (I'm 17 if that helps the validity of the question).

Don't care about what others think, if you want to play the ds, play the ds.

I'm 20 and a proud 3DS owner. How else am I supposed to play my JRPGs?

 

It's either No Shame, or No Game. Take your pick! xD

Git Gud.

I'm 26 and have a 3DS XL with all the Pokemon games. Am I going to get one of the new ones? Hell yes. Do I have all the Zelda games? Yup. I love having a 3DS. I play it while I'm at work on break and lunch. I bring it to conventions because I live in a small town and can't get those precious street passes. I need all those puzzle pieces!!

That was what I was thinking of actually. I just found my old DSi, but I sold most of the games for it because I got bored of it, but there are a lot of 3DS games I think I would like.  I'm mixed between getting a 3DS or a Wii U, not sure really, but I wanted to see what people would think if I got a 3DS.

Not really, but some people might look down on you if you play 3DS in the public. It is your decision whether or not you let those opinions affect you, personally I don't care at all.

 

The other day I actually saw a guy on the train, dressed in what looked like business suit, playing some anime rpg game on his pink 3DS. If you are reading this, you rock dude. :D

I'm 22 and I frequently play my 3DS when I'm on the go in a bus or train. I don't know if anyone has ever "looked" at me and I could care less. How is it different from all the people playing mobile games on their phones?

You're never too old for Nintendo games. I still buy and play all the mario games, all the pokemon games (see my avatar), zelda games... Nintendo make great first party games and both the WiiU and 3DS still get turned on more than my Xbone/X360/PS3 because the games are awesome!

I shave my beard and wear an untucked T-shirt and headphones around my neck everytime I go to Gamestop so that they don't check my ID. I also lie about my age on Club Nintendo surveys just in case would ban my account for being thirty.
