Nintendo has revealed via its official Japanese website that it plans to discontinue manufacturing the original Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS console. On the Nintendo 3DS hardware page the color is listed as “scheduled to end production shortly”. No reason has been given regarding the decision.
Inmediately after this annoucement was posted on Nintendo’s Japanese website, people started wondering if this decision was going to be effective worldwide. So, both Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe were asked if they would cease production of the Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS and their answer for both cases was: “We have nothing to announce about the Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS in our territory at this time”.
Why do you think Nintendo would cease production of the Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS in Japan? Let us know in the comments.
