## Summary

The episode begins with King deciding which of his two current Nintendo systems he should get rid of because the Nintendo Switch is coming out soon and he wants to make room for his new gaming console. King cannot decide which one to choose, so he looks up the resale prices for a 3DS and a Wii U on his MacBook Pro. He finds out that his MacBook Pro isn’t turning on (due to a faulty battery), so he gets his MacBook Air out and then resumes his search for the resale price. After finding out which one he should get rid of, he picks up the Nintendo 3DS XL from the table.

1. Basic Drop - King drops it.
2. Basic Drop In Water - King drops his 3DS XL in a bathtub filled with water.
3. Originality - King gets upset at his laptop because there is already a "50 ways to break a 3DS" video uploaded by another user, but it turns out to be a Nintendo DS Lite, so he slams the table with his 3DS XL.

6. Streetpass - King is playing on his 3DS XL, a friend who was holding his *New Nintendo 3DS* walks by and King asks him to Streetpass each other. The friend apologizes to King that he’s busy doing something, but he gets angry at him for not accepting his Streetpass and throws his 3DS XL on the ground near him. His friend sarcastically Streetpass him, so King checks on his 3DS XL, but he didn’t get a notification.
7. Texting And Driving - King tells the viewers that you can’t use your phone while driving, but never said you can’t use your 3DS while driving. Instead of driving his car, he rides his bike, and rides down the street supposedly playing his game on his 3DS XL, until he crashes into a tree and gets injured.

The camera cuts to the box of the game and zooms in with the disclaimer of 3D mode being for ages 7 and up. Since he willingly decided to play *Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice*, it means he's technically under 7 years old. Once he recovers from the seizure, he blames his 3DS and begins hitting it with a grill brush.
10. Nightmare - King is sleeping in his bed and out of nowhere, his 3DS XL opens by itself. The 3DS XL was threatening to kill his family, but King doesn't hesitate and throws it out the window.

## Goofs

### General:

* In the earlier ways, King’s mother had high pitch, but in the later ways, her voice gets deeper.

### Ways:

* 9. Age Limit – The system wasn’t turned on.
* 11. Photography - All the students were wearing the same clothes.
* 14. Phonebook – There were no cartridges inside the system. It is possible King is playing a digital game from the Nintendo eShop.
* 19. Paper Mario – The artwork cover looks too small. Either King bought a reproduction copy, or he printed out an artwork of the game from his printer.
	+ The bottom screen was missing when his friend showed him his favorite game on the 3DS.
* 40. Nintendo Switch – How is King playing a Wii game on a monitor?! Since the Wii Console is missing and no wires are plugged in, he could be playing the game on an Emulator; However, the wires for the monitor are missing too, so how is it possible to power on a monitor without anything plugged in?!
	+ Despite the fact his mother tells him that her water broke when they were on the phone, her husband has never been heard or appears on any videos. However, her husband’s voice was once heard on HOW TO FLEX YOUR APPLE CARD.
