Nintendo is now completely out of parts to repair the majority of the 3DS family of consoles in Japan, giving us a solemn reminder that that glorious previous-gen console era really is over.
It was last February when Nintendo first announced that the end was near for repairs of the New 3DS, New 3DS LL (the Japanese XL model), and the 2DS, with the company set to stop offering to fix the handhelds in Japan once it ran out of parts. By August, its stock of regular New 3DS parts had been depleted, and now, it's been confirmed that it's all out of the necessary bits to repair the XL version and the wedge-shaped 2DS.
