Nintendo has effectively (albeit indirectly) revealed it’s discontinuing the 3DS. So Nintendo‘s only console from here on out is the Switch. So rest in peace, 3DS — it’s been great.

Fans noticed yesterday that the Japanese Nintendo website listed all 3DS family consoles — which include the 3DS LL, the 2DS, and the 2DS LL — as “not in production.” The Nintendo of America site no longer has any mention of the 3DS on its store or information pages. So it seems that, almost 10 years after it launched in 2011, Nintendo is winding down production on one of its most popular handhelds. While it may not have sold as well as its DS parent or its Game Boy grandparents, it didn’t do too shabby, either. It definitely did better than its stationary sibling, the Wii U.
