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 really hate that Nintendo keeps putting “new” in titles. There’s the New 3DS, a New Mario game, and I think there was a New Mario party? Could be wrong on that but I remember there was a “New Mario 2” 🤦🏾‍♂️

      I think it was just the New 3DS and the New Super Mario Bros series. Widely ridiculed at the time, but I don’t think they’ve done it for about a decade.
