Is a Nintendo 3DS still worth buying in 2026?
The Nintendo 3DS was Nintendo's last true portable console. While it stopped getting new games long ago, it can still be a great option.
AI Summary
The Nintendo 3DS is no longer receiving support, but it retains an excellent game library and provides true portability for handheld play. Recent trends have pushed portable gaming pricing to be comparable with home consoles, a shift linked to a broader RAM shortage affecting the market. In early September, Nintendo raised the price of its Switch 2 console from $450 to $500, underscoring the rising cost pressures that make the 3DS’s lower‑cost, portable experience notable.
