time to buy a nintendo switch if you haven't already. The Nintendo Switch Lite is the successor to the 3DS - for now

The 3DS and also the DS were great systems. Nothing lasts forever, and sadly the time has come to say goodbye to the DS family.

is this the end of nintendo's dedicated handheld system's? We have the hybrid Switch/Switch Lite and then Nintendo mobile game
probably see more future systems like nintendo switch which plug into the tv with dock station

wow i was 30 when it came out! well for me, it has the best library ever. I'd pick a game on a whimsy (Fantasy Life, Yokai Watch,) and know it would be a blast. Any RPG was great. The Mario's the Zelda's all great. I wish it would never end.

Wow, nearly ten years ago. And don't forget about the Nintendo DSi!

The 3ds is my personal favourite console!

@DefeatedAsh859 Yeah, it was a good one. I thought the 3d screens turned out to be more of a gimmick than gameplay improvement, but basic things like a slide pad and better graphics made the 3ds really good. First portable that had a 3D mario experience.
