Knowing my luck the next time I pull it out I’ll somehow kick it down the stairs

That’s kind of surprising seeing as they ran out of Wii U parts just earlier this year and the 3DS was on the market 3 years after the Wii U was discontinued.

Sleep well, little prince.

I know it says for Japan but are the part that different? Or is that to say that other regions have their own dedicated parts supply? A little confused. …But I knew I should’ve bought that replacement battery when it was still on the website a while back

Only new 3ds?

Won’t third parties just start making the parts? That’s how it is with even older systems. You just gotta repair it yourself or find someone else who can.

Add this to the list of many, many pieces of evidence that the Switch is not a Gen. 8 system (many people have the misconception that it is). You don’t run out of parts to repair your Gen. 8 3DS if you are still in the same console generation.

RIP, King. The 3DS will always be the goat of handhelds to me…and I’ve owned every major handheld since the original Nintendo game & watch (that’s right, I had a Tiger R-Zone AND a Sega IR-7000) and none of them topped the 3DS in my personal opinion.

So what happens if someone needs to get their 3DS repaired? It seems unfair.

Damn, I meant to buy an official battery beforehand. Though I don’t know if buying a battery and holding on to it is smart

Tried to get a replacement New 3DS battery from Nintendo.
Paid them, 2 weeks later they refunded me because they don’t stock them in the UK anymore.

I remember back in the day, when the GameCube was fairly new, you could order very cheap replacement parts for older consoles. I got 4 NES Dog Bone controllers (for the NES top loader) at $15 CAD a piece.

Crazy. They repaired Famicoms up until 2007 but only a little under 4 years past the 3DS’s discontinuation they’re already ending repair support for it.

And so the greatest handheld system ever is finally coming to the end of its life. What a ride it was.

I mean… I don’t think any of the replacement parts I’ve bought have ever been from Nintendo directly. I’m sure the Japanese will be able to source from other places

I can’t even start a repair order on their website because the Symptom box is required and greyed out.
