On the other hand, the page for the New Nintendo 3DS XL did not have such a notice on the ラインナップ or “Line Up” section of the page.
This is not the first time that Nintendo has “announced” the end of production for one of its products. Earlier in February, end of production in Japan for the Wii U home console was made known to the public in a similar way.
For now, end of production for the handheld console in other countries has not been announced.
