Why the Nintendo 3DS Is Getting Expensive

The Nintendo 3DS is getting more expensive every year — and it’s not just nostalgia.

In this video, I break down exactly why demand for the Nintendo 3DS is rising, why prices keep increasing, and why Nintendo never truly replaced it. From the end of production to the return of physical gaming, the 3DS has quietly become one of the most sought-after handheld consoles of all time.

We talk about what made the Nintendo 3DS special, why modern handhelds and phones failed to replace it, and why collectors and casual gamers are now fighting over the same limited supply. I also explain why special editions like the New Nintendo 3DS XL NES Edition and Fire Emblem Awakening 3DS are already being treated as classics.

If you’ve noticed Nintendo 3DS prices going up, wondered whether the 3DS is a good investment, or asked yourself why people are returning to older handheld consoles in 2025 — this video explains it all.

The Nintendo 3DS wasn’t just a console.
It was a design philosophy Nintendo never repeated.
