Nintendo announced that the company has run out of replacement parts in Japan for the Nintendo 2DS [FTR-001] model and the New Nintendo 3DS LL (XL) [RED-001] model handheld systems, and it is no longer accepting any further repairs for them as of March 4, 2025.
The announcement appeared on a thread in the Japanese Nintendo customer support X (formerly Twitter) official account that the company has been updating regarding information about repair parts for the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles.
Nintendo informed back on February 13, 2024 that the company would stop offering repairs for various model of Nintendo 2DS and New 3DS consoles, as it would soon run out of parts stock in Japan. The New Nintendo 3DS models were the first to run out of replacement parts and the announcement happened on August 28, 2024.
It makes sense that Nintendo is stopping support for the handheld systems, considering that the Nintendo 2DS originally released on October 12, 2013, and the New Nintendo 3DS and New 3DS XL models launched on February 13, 2015, over a decade ago now. Similarly, the Wii U also stopped receiving repairs in Japan back in July 3, 2024.
Nintendo is no longer accepting repairs for the Nintendo 2DS [FTR-001] and New Nintendo 3DS LL (XL) [RED-001].
