Nintendo's Japanese customer service centre has announced that they are no longer able to repair "New Nintendo 3DS" consoles, effective immediately. This means that the New Nintendo 3DS system (KTR-001) is now out of warranty for repairs as parts required for repairs have run out. Despite the New 3DS being discontinued in 2017, it's commendable how long support has lasted.

Do you own a "New Nintendo 3DS"? Will you be effected by this news?

I just recently bought one (and a DSi XL for that matter) and I'm not surprised. 3rd party parts for Nintendo products are usually pretty available so unless your device is experiencing something catastrophic, repairing it shouldn't be an issue even several years from now.

Do they make third party replacements for the 3D screen?
