Nintendo ends 3DS production in Japan

The Japanese website for Nintendo’s 3DS has announced the end of production in that market.

However, the 2DS, 2DS XL, and 3DS XL remain in production and available.

This seems to indicate the end of the handheld game system’s availability worldwide as shown by a lack of stock of new systems in the west as well: the US and UK stores show no new 3DS devices on sale.
