Yes, it's feasible to swap the OS on your Raspberry Pi with a 3DS OS to closely mimic a 3DS experience. This is your first attempt, so feel free to ask questions as you go.

It isn't feasible. While some emulators work on Raspberry Pi OS, they deliver low-quality gameplay even on powerful models like the Pi 5. A genuine 3DS remains the optimal choice for playing those titles.

The only real connection between the two systems is that both feature ARM-based CPUs. That said, the term "CPU" doesn't quite fit the DS lineup, since each model uses a distinct ARM chipset.
