Hah, good luck with that. The Wii U doesn't seem a single sale (for anything that matters, no offense weird indie games I've never heard of) anymore even though consoles released six and seven years prior see sales on almost a weekly basis.
My best recommendation is to pick one up from the refurb section of the Nintendo store. They had the Galaxy model in stock last time I checked!
That'... a contradiction, is it not? How can you keep supporting a device without releasing new software for it? Unless you're speaking about Virtual console, online stuff etc.
Until a Switch mini comes out at a low price point, 3DS is still the best gaming hardware on the market for 3-5 year olds.

If the Switch Mini is $200, I'd still say that a $80 2DS is still a better proposition for young children
Can they remove the Miiverse icon from Home menu?
It makes me sad when I turn on my beloved 3DS :-(

Yeah, exactly. I don't see a reason for them to abandon it. It's great for kids
I still play it more than my Switch, eagerly awaiting a compact portable alternative to it Nintendo!
Just wait for the next Direct with "News on upcoming Switch and 3DS titles."
Not even kidding, this could easily mean they have nothing to announce right now, even if they're planning something for the holidays.
Incredible library and it's given me some great memories but it's one of the only pieces of hardware that genuinely takes me out of the games.
I've had to go through three revisions of the hardware to finally be somewhat satisfied with the screen and ergonomics. My 3DS XL genuinely strained my eyes, cramped my palms and then broke apart within months anyway.

Only indie stuff like Shakedown Hawaii, Silver Falls and Picontier.
I know about the double screen situation, but it still bugs. Like why the hell go from the fisrts straight to the third? Like, they should go by order, it's the logical thing lol
I wouldn't put past Nintendo to eventually have a low-cost platform to take the place of the 3DS. Who knows what they've got knocking around these days.
The n3DS is my favorite machine for homebrew and emulation. Portable access to SNES and GBA games is fantastic. I even collected some Japan exclusive faceplates when I bought the Pokemon 20th anniversary version.
Contrary to others in this thread, it's one of my favorite Nintendo handhelds. It still makes me wonder how awesome the DSi could have been if it maintained GBA support.

The Switch mini most likely. I don't see the point of another hardware platform.
It was a damn fine system but, yeah, the writing was on the wall at this point. Outside of maybe some random late releases from some Japanese studios, the systems major support was concluded a year or two ago. Still, a shame that traditional handhelds are done. The 3DS gave me more fun than the Wii U or PS4, tbh, even if it wasn't quite as good as the DS but, at this point, I'm all in on the Switch, save for maybe a release or two I wanna pick up on the 3DS before its too late
Maybe something small and inexpensive that comes with 30 or so built-in NES/GB/SNES games and has a digital download store for more. Maybe GBA, DS, and others. Just to have another source of revenue since the Classics line has seemingly ended and amiibo has mostly dried up.
That sounds absurdly pointless. Built in games would solely be for the Classics line. If you're gonna include a built in store, you might as well just put them on the Switch
Maybe some folks want to play Super Mario Bros. but don't want to drop $300 to do so.
But they would drop $50 to do so.
Making a built in store for just one niche system with built in games is pointless. The audience for that isn't as big as you'd think it is. That and most people seem to be just fine with dropping $300 for a Switch and, once revisions and price drops hit to make it more appealing, more people will buy it than before
You're probably right, but we're talking about Nintendo, and Nintendo is anything but predictable.
They're often not but, in other ways, they are. I'd say this is pretty unlikely to happen
Not really. Those are Switch games. Not originally, but most people haven't played them.
I will never understand why so many ERA users absolutely despise the 3DS. It's a great system with an amazing library. It's not as technically advanced as other handhelds, but... what's the issue with that?
I think the issue is that the screens are low resolution even for a 2010 device. That's the main issue.
3DS was cool for awhile but its doesn't have as good a library as DS and at this point, with Wii U releasing in 2013 and Switch in 2017, looking at that screen is kinda harsh.
Been thinking about going back to some of the games I missed though.
It is a fantastic legacy platform for the old GB and GBC titles that are on there. Can play every generation of handheld but GBA on there :(
If you were an ambassador you can play some select titles.
Also!, if you install custom firmware you can run all GBA games natively. Not emulated but actual hardware backwards compatibility. It's pretty amazing.
Repairs and such. For comparison, Nintendo did repair jobs for the Wii until around 2015/2016.
Remember that Bowser is a villain. He's just waiting to drop that Metroid 5 on 3DS bomb on all of you.
Also if a 240p screen is the only complaint you can muster for the 3ds, then consider yourself lucky I guess.
Yep... the only game announced for it at E3 was the Limited Run Atooi Collection. End of an era.
In my opinion, easily one of the best Nintendo systems ever made.
So many quality titles that I can easily see myself replaying for years to come.
Goodnight sweet prince. May your slumber be eternally peaceful.

I think it ends tomorrow if you're interested. 2DS comes bundled with NSMB2 digitally and then comes with a Nintendo Selects game of your choice.

Just realism. I'm not saying they have something in development, but I'm also not saying they don't have anything in development. They haven't confirmed either way, and continue to evade the issue with PR like this.
The 3DS came out when I was still in High School, and I'm now wrapping up my Masters... the thing needs to die already.
That being said, being able to jump in at $80 is a fantastic deal. Say what you want about overpriced games on Nintendo's end, but they really hit the nail on the head with their budget-priced 2DS model. A great way to introduce casual gamers, kids, and families to the backlog of games on it. Not everyone can afford a $300+ system.

I need to pick up a 2DS XL... hoping for a sale on them at some point. What are the chances of retailers blowing these out to clear stock at some point?
