The 3DS and Wii U era gets another nail in the coffin as Nintendo stops repairing New 3DS consoles in Japan.

This news comes as a blow to many fans who cherished the handheld’s unique features and enjoyed its longevity. The New 3DS, released in 2014, was a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the 3DS, offering features like 3D visuals, a larger screen, and improved processing power. It was a popular choice for gamers who wanted a more immersive and powerful handheld experience.

The announcement comes as a shock to many gamers, especially those who still use the Wii U. The Wii U, despite its initial hype and ambitious goals, failed to achieve widespread success. It was a console with a unique selling proposition, but ultimately, it was overshadowed by the competition from the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. The Wii U’s unique selling proposition was its tablet-like controller, the GamePad. The GamePad was designed to enhance the gaming experience by offering a second screen for players to interact with. However, the GamePad’s functionality was limited, and its design was criticized for being bulky and awkward.
