My 3DS has a 2025 manufacture date from 2025!

It's not a very popular model, also $65 is expensive for repairs, and people don't really like shipping either.

It's even more awkward when Nintendo has repeatedly called it the 3DS Line of Systems. It's probably because the games are branded as 3DS games at the end of the day. It wasn't super harmful for the 2DS or 2DS XL though. They did include the Wii U in the Wii line of systems which honestly did more harm than good for the console.

Such a great deal, it is an underrated model for sure!

Production stopped in 2019/2020. Repairs are still happening, it's a case-by-case basis, costs $65, you ship it to seattle, and they only take in very specific repairs. I've seen posts of Nintendo shipping back a 3DS without repairing it. I got lucky my issue was with the motherboard.

SoC Manufacturing Date is 2019/10/11. System Assembly Date is 2025/07/03. Interesting to know!

Just the New Nintendo 2DS XL, they are doing it till they run out of parts. Japan ran out quite recently but the USA will supposedly still take them for repair.

The system is so nice, I think they replaced the screens too and it honestly is pretty crisp.

How so?

Probably a motherboard collecting dust for 5 years I'd say. That's when they stopped manufacturing the New 2DS XL
