Nintendo No Longer Able To Repair ‘New Nintendo 3DS’ Consoles, Effective Immediately | Retro Dodo (retrododo.com)

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 bought two refurbed New 3DSs from the Nintendo Store back in 2018, and my wifey and I have had massive fun times on them. I use mine during the commute, doing some Picrosses in the subway. And we've done so many dates where we'd get a booth and a pitcher and play doctor mario against each other, or mario kart. Highly recommend getting a 3ds and custom firmwaring it for massive entertainment value.
