The 3DSās recent price cut was surprising. The handheld is still new, and a drastic slash like that whiffs of desperation. But donāt worry, the 3DS isnāt dead, by any stretch. Maybe one of Japanās most successful manga artists can work his magic.

While appearing on variety show SMAPxSMAP, famed manga artist Osamu Akimoto drew a picture of boy band Smap, penciling a āMentendoā 3DS in the hands of Smap member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi. Akimoto drew items that relate to each memberās likes or hobbies. For example, member Masahiro Nagai, a huge baseball fan, is holding a bat.

Akimotoās most famous creation is Kochikame, a police comedy manga that has been continuously serialized since 1976, making it Japanās longest running manga series! So if anyone knows about staying power, itās Akimoto.
Maybe some of his longevity will rub off on the Mentendo, I mean Nintendo, 3DS.
