The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld video game console made by [[Nintendo]] and released in 2011. It is a successor to the [[Nintendo DS]] and can play games in glasses-free {{Wp|Stereoscopy|stereoscopic 3D}}. {{SER|short}} games released on the Nintendo 3DS include {{NL}}, {{HHD}}, and the ''[[Photos with Animal Crossing]]'' application. Additionally, {{SSB4|3ds}}, which features content from the {{SER|nolink}}, was released for the 3DS.

The 3DS sold a total of 75.94 million units worldwide and stands as Nintendo's least-selling handheld platform, largely due to the adoption of smartphones and tablets, although it is still regarded as a success.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Nintendo|url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html|title=IR Information : Sales Data - Dedicated Video Game Sales Units|site=nintendo.co.jp}}</ref> It was succeeded by the [[Nintendo Switch]] in 2017 and was discontinued worldwide on September 17, 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Sam Byford|date=September 17, 2020|url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/17/21441096/nintendo-3ds-production-discontinued-total-sales|title=Nintendo has discontinued the 3DS|site=The Verge|retrieved=September 17, 2020}}</ref> 

==Features and built-in software==
===Friend List===
Friend List is a built-in application where the player can add others as friends via a Friend Code. Having two players registered in each other's Friend List is required to visit other town's online in {{NL}}.

===Nintendo eShop===
The Nintendo eShop is a digital store where games and software could be purchased and downloaded. All {{SER|short|nolink}} games released on the 3DS could be purchased from the eShop, and ''[[Photos with Animal Crossing]]'' was released exclusively from the eShop. Update data for {{NL|nolink}} and {{HHD|nolink}} could also be downloaded from the eShop. Additionally, games and software released for the DSi Shop, including ''[[Animal Crossing Calculator]]'' and ''[[Animal Crossing Clock]]'', could be purchased and downloaded from the eShop.

The eShop is also available on the [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo Switch]]. The ability to purchase and download new software was discontinued worldwide on the 3DS and Wii U on March 27, 2023, 12 years since the 3DS's North American release.

===Nintendo Zone===
Nintendo Zone was a discontinued service for the Nintendo 3DS that allowed players to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot in a collaborating public location, typically a retail store, to receive unique content. {{NL|nolink}} utilized Nintendo Zones to receive [[Distributed item/New Leaf|DLC items]].

===Play Coins===
[[File:Play Coins Icon.png|thumb|right|100px|Icon for Play Coins]]
Play Coins are a system-wide currency that can be used in various games and software, including {{NL|nolink}} and {{HHD|nolink}}. The 3DS has a built-in pedometer that tracks the player's steps; for every 100 steps taken, the player earns 1 Play Coin, up to a maximum of 10 per day and 300 total. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, [[fortune cookie]]s can be purchased from [[Timmy and Tommy's store]] for 2 Play Coins. In {{HHD|short|nolink}}, Play Coins can be used to unlock lessons in the [[Happy Home Handbook]].

===SpotPass===
SpotPass is an online feature that allows the console to send and receive information to and from Nintendo. {{NL|nolink}} features SpotPass connectivity, and it can be enabled or disabled from the title screen. The player could connect to the internet via SpotPass during distribution periods to receive DLC items and Nintendo staff homes in the [[Happy Home Showcase]].

SpotPass is also available on the Wii U.

===StreetPass===
StreetPass is a feature that uses local wireless communication to send and receive information from and to other nearby 3DS systems. It is used in {{NL|nolink}} in the [[Happy Home Showcase]], where connecting with other players via StreetPass causes their house and player character to appear there. Some [[handheld item]]s and [[badge]]s require the use of StreetPass to obtain.

====StreetPass Mii Plaza====

StreetPass Mii Plaza is a built-in application on the Nintendo 3DS. The [[Mii]]s of players who have been met via StreetPass appear here, and there are various minigames that can be played. The player can dress their Mii with various unlockable outfits, including four based on the {{SER|nolink}}: the Isabelle Hat, Tom Nook Hat, K.K. Slider Hat, and Mr. Resetti Hat.

One of the minigames, Puzzle Swap, features {{SER|short|nolink}} content. The objective of Puzzle Swap is to meet other players through StreetPass to obtain pieces of a puzzle that, when completed, displays an image from a 3DS game. Two of the puzzles feature an image from {{NL|nolink}} and {{HHD|nolink}}.

===Themes===
An update in 2014 introduced themes, which alter the background, app icons, and music of the HOME Menu. Themes can be purchased from the Theme Shop, [[My Nintendo]], or the downloadable game ''[[Nintendo Badge Arcade]]''. 26 themes based on the {{SER}} were released:
