From their site: "Please note: the manufacturing of the 3DS family of systems has ended."

A happy day for the oceans.

Nine and a half years. It was a good, long run. Much longer than I thought it would have.

Farewell, old friend. You can sleep now.

Thank you for the memories.

That system, despite it's dreadful start, helped keep Nintendo in the black while the WiiU was.... the WiiU and before the Switch arrived and decimated everything in sight.

76 million. Pretty good sales to be fair.

I haven't booted up my 3dsXL in a while. I just might today.

Great handheld. Still love it nowadays! (salute)

Well, whatever new number we get in Nintendo's next update for the figures as of September 30th - That will be the final tally for the 3DS.

9 years later.

A huge step down from the DS for me. I have some fine memories nevertheless.

One of the finer handhelds out there. Plenty of great games.

It had quite the run. 9.5 years is longer than what most people expected it would take for it to get discontinued. Now to wait for a bunch of 3DS retrospective videos to pop up over the coming weeks.
