Last updated
Ever found yourself pondering how to start fresh with your Nintendo 3DS? Maybe it’s running a little slow, or perhaps you’re thinking of gifting it to someone else. Whatever the reason, factory resetting it might be the solution you’re looking for.
So, let’s dive deep into the specifics of how to factory reset your Nintendo 3DS.
Quick Guide to Factory Resetting Your Nintendo 3DS
Factory resetting your Nintendo 3DS is simpler than you might think. It’s all about going back to the device’s original settings, making it like it’s fresh out of the box.
Firstly, ensure your 3DS is fully charged or plugged into a power source. You wouldn’t want it turning off mid-reset! Next, go to the System Settings, which you can find on the Home Menu. Once there, select “Other Settings,” and scroll right until you find “Format System Memory.” This is the option that will initiate the factory reset process, so proceed with caution. Confirm your choice, and your 3DS will begin the process, erasing all data and returning it to its factory settings.
