It’s time for everybody’s favorite hot-button topic — sales reports! Specifically in Japan, where the sales chart was topped by Nintendo Switch Sports, selling over 190,000 copies on its debut.

There’s nothing quite like a new game coming out for a console with one foot (or hell, two feet) in the grave — Fragrant Story, a strategy RPG inspired by ’90s classics and featuring some truly legendary talent, is releasing for the 3DS next month. In the year of our…

Editor’s note (February 2023): While this feature was originally written for the 3DS’ 11th anniversary, the sentiments still ring true today. Join us in celebrating the handheld as we look back at what made it so memorable! The 3DS just might be the best console Nintendo ever made….
Nintendo has announced the wind-down of its eShop services for both the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U, with a planned end in March 2023. As of late March 2023, it will no longer be possible to make Nintendo eShop purchases for the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS…
Have you ever wanted to play 3DS games on a big screen with blown-up resolution, no 3D, and no portability? Maybe not? Well, Twitter user @SWIMMIN has made it happen anyway, with a rejiggered homebrew dev/capture kit that outputs the console to two monitors. Now that I got retail…
As to be expected with his passionate work looking at Nintendo’s games and devices, Beta64 has produced an incredible 49 minute-long history video dedicated to the 3DS and the company’s prior attempts to incorporate 3D technology into their games.
