This is a list of cancelled Nintendo 3DS video games. The Nintendo 3DS is a handheld game console released by Nintendo in 2011. While the platform eventually went on to be seen as a success that sold over 75 million units, its launch and early years saw the platform struggle commercially, with many third-party games being cancelled during this period. Similarly, the wild success of the Nintendo Switch's launch in 2017 led companies to abandon the 3DS in favor of pursuing Switch development. This list documents all known games that were confirmed for the 3DS at some point, but did not end up being released for it in any capacity.
