We all love the 3DS here at Retro Dodo. A console that brings your favourite games to life in a whole new way without the need to wear 3D glasses - come on, it's essentially witchcraft, and we're all here for it. Can you remember the first time that you saw the Spiritual Stones in Ocarina of Time spinning out of the screen? It blew my mind, and as a handheld, it's still very much in my regular go-to selection.

These days, there are a lot of other dual-screen powerhouses aiming to take its place in the history books, and when we said that the AYN Thor was the last dual-screen handheld you'd ever need, we meant it. It's an absolute beast that can emulate multiple consoles and not just play 3DS games. Still, as a clamshell, it has to pay homage to the console it's essentially based on, right?

Well, friend of Retro Dodo SakuraRetroModding has come up with some new sticker designs to make your AYN Thor look like some of the classic New 3DS designs of yesteryear. He's based his latest collection on Super Mario and even has replacement action buttons to give the handheld a SNES vibe.

The all-black Mario character design is pretty stylish, but that Super Mario Bros. 3 design would be my choice. The Thor isn't a boring looking console by any stretch of the imagination, but this just gives it that extra finishing touch to set it apart from the crowd.

SakuraRetroModding's sticker sets are handmade in France and cost around £22/$24. They can be shipped all over the world, so head to the official Etsy page and check them out for yourself along with all of SRM's other products! Oh, and Pokémon designs are coming up next!
