No. The PowKiddy Q90 cannot run Nintendo 3DS at a playable speed — the hardware isn't built for it. For Nintendo 3DS you'll want one of the stronger handhelds listed below instead.
| Nintendo 3DS game | On this device |
|---|---|
| Pokémon X | Won't run |
| Super Mario 3D Land | Won't run |
| Animal Crossing: New Leaf | Won't run |
| The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D | Won't run |
| Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate | Won't run |
| Fire Emblem Awakening | Won't run |
Why Nintendo 3DS is the test: stereoscopic 3D plus two screens; the emulator (Citra/Lime) is heavy and the demanding titles need a fast chip.
