The Louvre in Paris is retiring the current rentable audio/video guides that uses 5,000 Nintendo 3DS consoles in September 2025


In 2012, The Louvre replaced its audio guides with 5,000 Nintendo 3DS consoles featuring customized content like interactive maps, audio commentaries, and themed tours. But as Nintendo has run out of repair parts for the aging console, The Louvre says its 3DS tour guides are being discontinued later this year, as spotted by NintendoSoup. “The New Nintendo 3DS console audio guides will go out of operation in September 2025, to be replaced by a new system.” [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25628646/waterfield.jpg?quality=90&strip=all]
