About
As of 2026, it's 15 years old.
The 3DS pulled off a genuine party trick: a glasses-free 3D display with a slider to dial the depth up, down, or off when it started giving you a headache.
It stumbled out of the gate on price, prompting a rapid cut and an apology to early adopters, then found its footing with Mario, Zelda, and a Pokémon haul that kept it alive for years.
The handheld that made 3D work without the goofy glasses — slider optional, charm included.
