Looking like Nintendo are aiming at phasing out the long standing 3DS console. News just came in today that Nintendo will no longer be offering repair support for the original 3DS.

In short, if you are holding a Nintendo 3DS old model, then you can no longer contact a service officer in case of failure, but you can always rely on specialized shops for its repairs. “Nintendo no longer offers factory repairs for the original Nintendo 3DS system,” can be read from the official website of Nintendo.

Originally released back in 2011, The 3DS has been out for just over 6 years, with the selling point being stereoscopic gaming (hence 3DS). Now Nintendo have recently announced 3DS XL and 2DS XL versions of the original console featuring a more ergonomic design and new capabilities. With the release of this latest console, Nintendo has announced a new line-up of awesome titles for the buffed up 3DS XL.
