Il Nintendo 3DS è uscito in giappone nel 2010 ed è stato il seguito diretto del DS con la stessa struttura a due schermi di cui uno touch ma con una potenza grafica maggiore, un controller analogico e la capacità di mostrare immagini in 3D. Nonostante la concorrenza spietata degli smartphone la console è riuscita ad avere un grande successo grazie alla ricco parco di titoli come i soliti Pokemon che per la prima volta apparivano in 3D con X/Y, Sole/Luna e Remake di Rubino/Zaffiro, i remake di Zelda ocarina of Time e majoras Mask oltre all ottimo A Link Between Worlds, molto buono Fire Emblem Awakening e il seguito Fates che rinnovavano la formula di gioco, Tra i JRPG da giocare c'è il remake di Dragon quest 7 e il porting dell 8, Shin Megami Tensey 4 e Apocalypse, i due Bravely Default, e poi Monster Hunter 4, Mario Kart 7, mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus uprising, Samus Returns e tanti tanti altri porting e buoni titoli. Nel complesso il 3DS è stata un ottima console portatile come da tradizione nintendo, e visto il cambio di mercato molto probabilmente è stata anche l'ultima vera console portatile.
