The Nintendo 3DS was a massive success for the Nintendo company. This handheld platform first launched into the marketplace in 2011, and its lifespan continued until 2020. While most might have jumped ship for Nintendo’s latest hybrid console platform that is the Switch, there is still an active community of 3DS players. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, and Nintendo had begun to sunset the platform with the eShop closing its doors for the platform earlier this week.
But even though you might not have the ability to pick up games digitally, that doesn’t mean physical releases are completely over with. It looks like there will be at least one more title launch, thanks to Limited Run Games. If you’re not familiar with Limited Run Games, the company gained quite a bit of fanfare as it provided digital games with a limited physical release run. Collectors could pick up some of these games for their personal collection, but because it’s a limited-run deal, the games were relatively short in supply. So if you wanted to ensure a copy of the game being provided by Limited Run Games, you had to stick around online in hopes of securing your order.
