Nintendo of Japan has announced the suspension of 3DS repairs due to the scarcity of necessary repair parts, effective August 28, 2024 onwards. This repair halt for the 3DS will impact Nintendo branches worldwide.
Furthermore, Nintendo has indicated that the remaining quantities of parts for 2DS and 3DS XL repairs are limited. Repair services will continue until supplies are depleted, with 2DS LL still eligible for regular repair services.
The diminishing supply of parts for 3DS, 2DS, and 3DS XL has been a concern since March, with April’s announcement of the discontinuation of online play for 3DS and Wii U hinting towards the eventual discontinuation of support for these consoles.
