The rumor had been in the air for too long, and today, September 17, the news has become official: Nintendo starting from today has finished the production of all portable consoles of the family Nintendo 3DS. The Kyoto house has changed the official page dedicated to their handhelds, and a little above the images with the details and specifications of the various types of consoles now appears in red that communicates that Nintendo 3DS series hardware production has been discontinued.
Unfortunately, for more than a year the big N has started not to publish any kind of first or third party game anymore, focusing only on the great success it is experiencing. Nintendo Switch. The hybrid console from 2017 started take the place that the handheld console had taken in the market, and over the years it has become exponential. In 2020 no major titles were released, while in 2019 they were only released Kirby is the new stuff of the hero, the revival of Mario & Luigi: Journey to Bowser's Center e Person Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, which literally represented the swan song for the Nintendo 3DS family systems.
The bad news has now become reality thanks to the confirmation of the Kyoto house, and although it may be a somewhat sad epitaph for the way it was spelled out, the 3DS family of consoles has been with us since 2011 and it turned out to be one of the longest-lived consoles ever to hit the market. With the many re-proposals with which it has returned to the market several times - such as the much controversial one "Pro" version or the equally discussed 2DS - certainly the laptop of the big N has entered the hearts of many fans, thanks also to the gigantic amount of titles released on the laptop that have exceeded 1000.
