The Louvre Museum in France has announced that their Audio Guide system, which utilizes a specially modified Nintendo 3DS XL, will cease operations in September this year. The museum will be implementing a new system as a replacement.
While the museum did not provide a reason for discontinuing the use of the Nintendo 3DS XL, it is speculated that it may be due to Nintendo no longer supporting this handheld gaming device. Furthermore, there is a limited supply of spare parts in stock, with reports indicating that the 3DS XL models are becoming scarce and some parts are no longer available.
The 3DS XL device used as an Audio Guide excels in presenting information through visuals and text, supporting 9 languages and featuring a location-based system for providing contextual information.

TLDR: The Louvre Museum in France will be replacing their Audio Guide system, which currently uses a customized Nintendo 3DS XL, due to the device being phased out and limited availability of spare parts.
