The normal dimension New Nintendo 3DS isn’t any extra in Japan.
The information was dropped in a discover on Nintendo of Japan’s official website (by way of AGD). “All production ended,” is the one factor it says.
Nintendo of America, and Nintendo of Europe websites don’t have an analogous announcement, so we’ll assume this solely applies to Japan. The not too long ago introduced New 2DS XL, the New 3DS XL, and the usual 2DS are nonetheless being manufactured for Japan.
The New line-up initially launched in October, 2014 in Japan with two fashions: New 3DS, and New 3DS XL (known as LL over there). Games launched on the unique 3DS are ahead suitable with the remainder of the fashions, however sure fashionable titles work greatest on New fashions due to their barely quicker CPU.
This seemingly has nothing to do with the success of the Switch, as Nintendo of Japan has historically been the primary to discontinue older fashions when replacements are introduced.
