Does Nintendo still make new 3DS?
Does Nintendo still make new 3DS? Nintendo announced it was discontinuing production of the console in 2020, and the e-Shops for Wii U and 3DS will shut down in 2023. However, hard copies of 3DS games are available at most game stores and are still available digitally while the eShop is still open.
Why is the new Nintendo 3DS discontinued?
Making the switch
But the modern Nintendo Switch, released in 2017, has already sold more than 60 million units, and can be played as a handheld. While Nintendo initially insisted it was not a “replacement” for the 3DS, declining support and sales meant the venerable handheld’s time was limited.
Are 3DS games still being made in 2022?
March 31, 2022 officially marked the end of an era. With the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eshops preparing to shut down in 2023, last week officially marked a quieter, but incredibly significant deadline: the deadline for developers to submit new games for either platform.
Are they discontinuing the 3DS?
As of March 27, 2023, it will no longer be possible to make purchases in Nintendo eShop for the Wii U system and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. It will also no longer be possible to download free content, including game demos.
