Nintendo’s Japanese customer service centre has announced that they are no longer able to repair “New Nintendo 3DS” consoles, effective immediately. This means that the New Nintendo 3DS system (KTR-001) is now out of warranty for repairs as parts required for repairs have run out. Despite the New 3DS being discontinued in 2017, it’s commendable how long support has lasted.


Do you own a “New Nintendo 3DS”? Will you be effected by this news?

    I hope my New Nintendo 3DS XL will last forever. The 3D effect is amazing and I’m sure it will shock younger generations in the future.

      Can confirm, my son found my old 3DS a few months back and quite likes the 3D effect.

      He now regularly plays 3DS.

      They are pretty solid devices! All three of my 3DSes are in great shape after lots of use, but yet I already have one dead Switch due to the sd card adapter port on the motherboard losing some teeth, and don’t get me started on joycon drift.
