Shoutout to Microsoft, who is still supporting the Xbox 360 (a 17 year old system) with online play and shop functionality simply because it's the smart thing to do.
Plus there's a less people willing to mod and hack if they can actually buy the game meaning less people will do hacks to get any game they want
ikr
To be fair though, MS has more money to burn and keep their servers open.
@@No-onesgayformoleman Nintendo is the richest company in Japan if I’m not mistaken.
@@No-onesgayformoleman nintendo is making lots of money from their theme park.
It honestly made me cry when I heard that the Eshop was closing. Of course, this was inevitable but why so soon? Being an early 3DS adopter, it makes me kind of sad that they are going to close a part of my childhood. I have also bought as many exclusive titles as I could before time runs out which seems stupid when they should have put these titles on newer consoles. It seems like a cruel joke that Nintendo is hiding a bunch of games that we can't reach without either pirating or paying a shit ton of money. Rest in peace 3DS and Wii U Eshop, you will be missed.
What's interesting to me is that Pokemon Bank will go down, thus transferring from 3DS to Switch will no longer be possible. It's just like back with the Gameboy Advance where lack of connectivity to the Gameboy Color made transferring from gens 1 and 2 to gen 3 impossible. Back then, the solution was to release remakes, Fire Red and Leaf Green. Something tells me they're going to make Kalos DLC or something.
One great reason to pick up a 3DS is the backwards compatibility with DS games. Thousands of games on both systems can be played on a single unit. That's some bang for your buck. Unfortunately, the price of physical games has skyrocketed.
I have 900 games on mine. I have NES, SNES, Genesis, N64 (they run like ass tho), GB/GBC, GBA, DS and of course all 3ds games on mine.
I don't think I'll ever get rid of it lol (hopefully it doesn't die on me, I put in a lot of work on it)
If you want a bang for your buck, buy a steam deck and emulate lol
@@DarthKaiju Playing DS and 3DS games on none DS machine is horrendous gameplay wise.
I've tried it on PC and even the Wii U which supported DS games in the VC.
Just saying, specialy the picture is not made to be stretched out like that. Looks like late PS1 games
@@No-onesgayformoleman You can get a 3ds and Yo ho ho things if you want. Ive personally never had an issue playing 3ds and ds games because the steam deck has many buttons and with the click of 1 button im on the bottom screen. Better then giving Nintendo money
@@DarthKaiju Sounds like it's a personal problem against Nintendo lol
However if you get a 3DS and mod it to play DS and 3DS you're not really giving Nintendo any money as it's a second hand sale and modding it to play their library.
However a lot of games where designed with the top/bottom screen combo such as Dragon quest 4-6, Mario and Luigi Bowser's inside story, and others just to name a few.
They feel awkward with a side by side gameplay and not as responsive at times.
For Pokemon fans, I recommend getting the DLC for Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity. Try getting all versions for both gens 1 and 2. You can still buy physical copies of other mainline games but make sure to download patches for XY and ORAS and get the demo for SM if you're trying to get Bond Phenomenon Greninja because that's the only way to get it. The only digital exclusive Pokemon games available that I'm aware of are Pokemon Battle Trozei (Pokemon Link Battle in Europe) and Pokemon Picross.
I only just read about the patches the other day so I'm annoyed I couldn't include them here but yes 100%. I went through and downloaded updates for games I don't even own yet because I know I'll get them soon
...There's DLC for gates to infinity???
Wait, so your saying I can download the updates for physical games if I don't own them yet? I hope its true because I am missing the us copies of X and Y but haven't seen any cib copies at a reasonable price.
@@nautilume7114There is DLC for Gates to Infinity, yes, but sadly they're not free except for one of them. There are 12 DLC packs (1 that's free) and thankfully they're all between $2 to $3.50
@@car3448 You can download patches for all games you was going to play. That's why they're in the eShop. Patches shouldn't be going away though. Nintendo said if you bought or download whatever that's in the eShop, you are always welcome to redownload them even after the store shuts down.
On the note of Fire Emblem Fates, there is three paths. You can buy one physical copy of Birthright or Conquest, but the carts with the third route "Revelations" are rare and expensive because there special. So that means once the eshop closes, you will lose access to the cheapest method to buy the third path, which is pratically exclusively digital. Just something to note and something that would have bothered me if I didn't know because of how much of a huge Fates fan I am.
That's really interesting, I've never been a Fire Emblem guy personally but I wanted to include them because they're so huge. Thanks for letting me know, the eShop shutting down is rough on everything it's so disappointing
Is there an all-in-one package that can be downloaded or do I still have to buy 3 separate games? That's the biggest turn off for me. They split one game into 3 and made you buy them all. I'm not made of money.
@@mr.s9783 You buy either Conquest or Birthright physically then you have to purchase the other two paths INSIDE the game's menu, that way it will be 50% off for both, so in the end you get 3 games at the price of 2
There is also some DLC for Fates that add a fair amount to the story. The Heirs of Fate map pack and Hidden Truths that won't be available after the shutdown.
@@Gatlad True!
When it comes to the eShop, there's also the Pushmo or Pullblox series, the Dillon's Rolling Western series, Chicken Wiggle, Picross e series, the Quiet, Please series, HarmoKnight, Siesta Fiesta, the Hydroventure sequel and escapeVEKTOR. And that's just off the top of my head. I would mention FreakyForms, but that was delisted, though it does have a physical version with an added adventure mode.
Fun fact: you can even forward Gen1 & 2 Pokemons IF you got them on the virtual console version on the 3ds.
Another very important thing to make note of is that with the closure of the e-shop, a myriad of Gameboy Advance games are gonna be off the table too. The Legend of Zelda: The MInish Cap, Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Metroid Fusion, and a handful of other flagship titles are ludicrously expensive on the second hand market right now and the e-shop is the only way to play them on official Nintendo hardware without breaking the bank, or without jailbreaking your system. It's a huge problem that will only get worse after March when the shop is down for good. I've been tackling myself for the last couple of months by getting a $10 e-shop card every other week or so (you can add funds on your Switch and use them on your 3DS as long as it's the same account), and I highly recommend you do the same. The games on the e-shop are very cheap at face value, but when you decide that you want 13 or so, suddenly it becomes quite a mountain to climb financially. Definitely don't wait to cash in, buy a little at a time to make sure you get everything you're after.
Great video, very informative. I didn't even consider the thought that with the 3DS becoming completely unsupported, it's going to be very important to pick up physical copies of the newer games that I skipped like the new Metroid and Bravely Default 2.
I've been picking up a title every other week or so. I've been grabbing physical games more than digital ones for now because those prices will skyrocket as soon as the eShop shuts, and they're Nintendo games so they haven't necessarily decreased in price much since release
@@thevulture3776 I wish I could say the same for the physical games. The 3DS game selection around here is already so scarce, it's crazy. My local Gamestops don't even have a section for them anymore so it's all second-hand market, with many of the games not being complete-in-box so you have to worry about fakes and scalpers, especially considering how cheap the shovelware games are vs how easy it is to make fakes of DS games. The DS family was such a strong line of systems and I'm honestly really sad to see them go, as well as frustrated.
tysm for explaining the Switch & 3DS e-shop connection!
woah! how is this video not seen more! that's some awesome editing you got there dude! AND your narration is awesome too! keep it up!
Thanks a lot! It's my first time making a collection guide video and I'm thinking about doing them for other consoles in the future
@@thevulture3776 i'd love to watch more videogame centered content! :3
Subbed, and liked. Thanks for leaving the music you used, excellent music taste.
I'm glad I'm not the only one worried that the demise of the 3DS eShop will confine Pokemon to certain generations.
In the eShop, there is also a Kirby spinoff called “Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe” which is really good
Glad I found this because Pokemon peaked with Gen 6 and 7 and I want to preserve as much of that as possible including picking up all the Virtual Console titles that I haven't yet. Being able to play Gens 1, 2, 6, and 7 all on one console e, plus the Gen 3 remakes, is all very fun with friends.
You'll also be able to play all of the Gen 4 and 5 games through backwards compatibility too
@@thevulture3776 very true. Still got some GBA stuff too so I can still communicate with my Gen 3 games if I want to.
Yeah man I’m planning on buying Platinum and HGSS before the prices go up *even* more, definitely some incredible games on the system.
I also would download Nintendo badge arcade, its a free 'game'. And although you wont be able to pay for pulls anymore you'll still get the 2 free pulls a day. Badges are a neat customisation feature that the 3ds has.
Music choice in this video is great!🔥
This decision is honestly the biggest FU to shiny hunters. Im a gen 1 & 2 hunter & my dreams were shattered from this news. That aside they're leaving behind access to many pokemon and their games. Their older counterparts are still quite enjoyable to this day and it truly is heartbreaking they want to leave it behind with no thought currently for porting them over to switch.
I would highly recommend going through the 3ds/dsi ware portion of the E shop since there’s no way to access these games after the shutdown, games like the Dillon’s rolling westerns, box boy, stretchmo games, and mighty switch force 1 and 2 will be lost media and can’t be played on newer systems. (ps, this likely only applies to me but if you are a fan of the yokai watch series the physical copies of the American “yokai watch blasters” game are currently worth over 200.00 so I would recommend grabbing a digital version if you ever plan on it)
CIAs QR codes with FBI app, that’s all I’m gonna say

hey, the quality and watchability is great. dont change (sh)it. there is a lot of 1m+ channels that do a lot worse. to be honest, i got a lil sad at 9:41 cuz you mentioned that it was the end of the video.
also, the pokemon issue here really has a lot of potential for a seperate video imo. its a big topic, massive audience and if u go into detail like u do here and do like a short complete guide on trading from the oldest to newest (possible) game i think you'll find yourself with a bigger audience after. have a good one
@@zute thank you, I've got a Pokemon video planned for the end of next week, everything has been quite hectic atm so I'm trying to get it finished as soon as possible 😄
I took a break from the console after I bought one a few years ago, (New 3DS XL) and I am really digging the 3D effect on a lot of the stuff I have been playing. I think if you just have one its worth getting. I originally thought it was kinda gimmicky and I wanted one to play more DS games on, so I picked up a New 2DS which I like the build of better, but my DS Lite is still the best for playing DS games, and I put a GBA flash cart in the other slot so it handles a lot in one little well built console.
This is a great video!
I don't understand the point of shutting down these services.
There are some people who have one of these consoles, but can't quite afford a Switch. Like for me, I received a Wii U for Christmas, just for the Switch to drop the next year, and I couldn't afford it at the time. Asking for it for later birthdays & Christmases kept failing, as family members would question the Switch's lifespan. I'm sure there's a ton more people like me. Of course, I *do* have a Switch now, but what about the people who don't? Nintendo is being such a little [[!#@&*]] right now.
I hope that if Nintendo won’t port any of their eshop games, third party developers can bring their 3ds games to the switch.
It's a nice thought but unfortunately I think it's highly unlikely. The sales of a 3DS eShop game on Switch probably wouldn't be worth the time and effort taken to port them due to the fact that most games are specifically designed to take advantage of the dual screen setup and the 3D function
Well, Im glad I got physical copies for all the 3ds pokemon games
Also on the 3ds eshop they have a remastered version of Apollo Justice ace attorney that lets you use the 3d slider
No Rhythm Heaven Megamix and WarioWare Gold? Those games are amazing and the definitive entries of those series
I've heard really good things about both, they must've slipped my mine when I was writing this video 😅
I would also reccomend getting some of the megaman games for the 3DS or Megaman Legacy collection 1
What was that pokemon Fighting game seen in the "cool special edition" section? It looks really fun
That's Pokken Tournament DX on the Nintendo Switch
I think I'm prepared for the shutdown, though I might buy the FE Awakening DLCs before I can't anymore, but it's not really that important for me.
I'm actually more concerned about not being able to get any New 3DS XL special editions anymore aside random sellers on Ebay, especially for the Fates 3DS XL. Someone told me that they got one by sending in an old 3DS for repair, and since they don't support these anymore, he was able to pick a new one from a list and the Fates 3DS was on there. But I have the feeling this method won't work anymore due to the 3DS basically getting shut down, and I assume they'll then just tell you to buy a Switch, even if they still have some 3DSes lying around.
Perhaps I'll also make my own 3DS case design, but I'd still need another system for this.
I have the Phoenix Wright games but I have no idea how to get the dlcs now.
What do the Pokémon games you mentioned cost in the eshop at the moment? I want to pick up a 3ds again but I want to make sure it fits my budget. Thanks in advance 😃
All of the mainline 3DS games will set you back £40, the virtual console GameBoy and GameBoy Colour games are £9. Any side games will cost anywhere between £4 and £40. I think some will be cheaper physically second hand
@@thevulture3776 thanks a lot man. Great video by the way 🙂
@@temie933 they’re £8.99 a piece and, if you’re buying Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal it’ll cost you exactly £53.94! The only way to currently add funds to your EShop account is to do so via the website
Yo Kai watch I’d pick those up, as well, I’d pick up shin Megami tensei apocalypse as well as it’s so expensive physically.
It is so bizarre to me that Nintendo opts to do this. I hate to say it, but they're quite literally forcing people to pirate games if they want to play them later down the line and don't have it/the physical copy is hundreds of dollars by then.
The good news is that even though you can no longer add funds to your 3DS eShop, if you’ve already purchased and downloaded something, you can download it again and save it to an SD card until the eShop closes. I’m planning on loading the Gen 1 and 2 games, Bank, Transporter and Dream Radar onto about 5 or 6 SD cards and giving them to my friends.
I found a trick on CZcams to use a 128gb sd card on my 3ds, saves any concerns for memory
@@SilentSavior1263123 Objection. Relevance? The things I’m planning on putting on those cards don’t take up that much space.
The downloaded software is unfortunately solely tied to your specific Nintendo Network ID.
I love the 3DS, even though I didn’t get into the GBA/DS/3DS games until the pandemic. But I do have one major complaint about the 3DS; it is not easy on the hands over long periods of play. I don’t even have that big of hands but they start feeling cramped like an hour into play. I just wish they still made quality grips still like they do for the Switch.
Having said all that, I love all my handhelds. Once we were all stuck inside, I started going nuts on eBay/thrifting/craigslist. I went from owning zero handhelds besides the Switch and the OG Gameboy to having 6 3DSs, 2 DSs, and a PS Vita. They are all cool in their own way but a hacked 3DS is probably the most bad ass handheld ever. There are just so many games that were made for the DS/3DS that will never get ported. But even if they do port them, they will never play the way they were designed.
I ended up buying a New 2DS XL during lockdown and it's been my main DS console since. There are some grips you can get for them, I have a plastic one for the 2DS XL but I'm not sure how readily available they'll be online since Nintendo stopped manufacturing fresh units. But yeah easily one of the greatest handhelds to ever exist and it is disappointing that we won't get any ports that are as good as the original games.
@@thevulture3776 Well I’ve looked into it and the only grips I can find are modern 3D printed ones that kinda look sucky. But apparently they made some legit ones when the systems were being made but now people want like 100 bucks for those things. But if you know of a good grip, let me know.
I got the grip for my New 2DS XL on Amazon, it's just a basic black grip so it's probably one of the cheap 3D printed ones but it does the job just fine for me personally
Softmod your vita if possible, unlocks a whole world of customization and extra functionality. Especially seeing as Sony is eventually going to axe PlayStation network for it and the ps3, you’ve got nothing to lose really.
any videos on how to trade pokemon in details?
What about the smash bros 3ds dlc and how can I get them in the game?
R.I.P Ratchet and Clank Quest For Booty in the USA
R.I.P the original pokemon gens 1&2 games as they will be stuck on the Game Boy handhelds and if it is brought back with online subscriptions then it will eventually be gone again as it's an online subscription not a one time purchase
Btw there is no physical retail North American release of Rhythm Heaven Megamix so get it digitally while you can if you don’t have a European or Japanese 3ds
what about downloading the roms, just look out for the nintendo ninjas
i wonder how this will affect people with modded 3ds's and the Hshop?
In European version you can still put money on Nintendo éshop
Man i feel bad for the 3ds cause it kind about fault and nintendos as soon as the switch was out people stopped caring about the 3ds which led to nintendo to create less games and now after its gonna close people want one granted nintendo also kind of at fault they stopped trying after the switch came out and proved to be a success
You can't really blame people for caring about the 3DS less after 2015/2016, the quality of titles wasn't very high due to Nintendo's teams being stretched across development for games for the 3DS, Wii U, Switch and Mobile simultaneously. Plus Nintendo isn't new to shutting down their digital storefronts, the Wii Shopping Channel was shut down and a ton of Wii Ware games have become unavailable through legitimate means
The youtube alghorythm blesses you
I never really bought any games, and only have a few cartridges. Should I just get rid of mine?
I'd keep them for the time being, if anything they'll be worth more in a few years because it'll be harder to get them
It's a good thing the eshop is closing, that means that can't patch out the new freeshop...
No better time to pick up a N3DS/XL to install CFW and get all your games for free now....
I own a new 2ds and a new 3ds and I don't know why the new 3ds I have is older than the new 2ds I own but it preforms better than the newer one.
Minecraft runs not great but it does on the older new 3ds xl
Fusion isn't in the eshop
Yokai Watch is a must have
Please make a Wii U video because that console is gonna get very rare while the 3DS is going to be obtainable you need a gamepad and Wii U in order to use the console and Gamepads will eventually break
Citra solves all problems, specially playing it from a galaxy z flip
solution to this problem (on wii u at least) is a homebrew app called nusspli. i can't really mention its function on youtube for *reasons*
Nintendo loves and hates money at the same time.
For those people theres also homebrewing
For poke transporter you need a Pokemon bank subscription so put in the 5 dollars and get poke transporter it's worth it
in march they're gonna make it free

You'll probably be able to find one second hand on eBay, but they're pretty pricey at the moment and I don't see them getting much cheaper any time soon. But I wouldn't write off the Switch entirely, while I'm not a fan of the current way Nintendo is releasing games for the Switch, it's home to some brilliant experiences

just homebrew your 3ds nintendo is closing the eshop to rush you into buying games they made almost 10 years ago

I havnt spent a dime on Nintendo products in a decade. I will continue to Yo ho ho ho their product. They dont care about their customers and they dont deserve my money. Can play anything up to the witch on my steamdeck
Yo ho ho ho
We need the eshop to get hacked
bruh chill you can get any and all of this via homebrew
A Pro Tip: If you have a 3DS in this day and age, just Jailbreak it, don't waste your money on eshop, the fact that tjey are shutting the 3DS Eshop just prove that Nintendo doesn't care a bit about you, the consumer, so, why should you care about them?
I agree with almost every game on the list, but I fully disagree with Majora's Mask 3D.
It's the worst version by far and the only thing that's going for it are the graphics and some QoL with the menus.
It unfortunately changes a LOT of the gameplay for the worse, such as Zora Swimming using the magic meter for some baffling reason, slowing the game to a crawl. The Deku Spin also doesn't maintain your momentum anymore. But they do not change the level design to make up for it, so it just feels extremely clunky.
The bosses also suffer minor to major changes for the worse.
I truly despise the 3D version of Majora's Mask and I have no clue why they made those changes.
I highly recommend the N64 version or a modded 3DS Version with a restoration patch, so you have the best of both worlds.
And yes, please Homebrew your 3DS, just do it.
Thank you for the info, I don't know too much about the Zelda games so I just went with what I've heard from other people when it came to those games. I just thought I'd add it to the list to go along with the other Zelda games on there
edit fixed a typo
a good explanation for why those changes were made was becauyse the original was made in 1 year, so it was just "Lets just take what we threw at the wall" leading to very stressful development. as such ao numa went in with an already negative mindset because he didn't like the end result to begin with, going so far as to say he wished fans would forget majoras mask existed as a game. Deku scrub was probably "I fell off because of how instant the deku's acceleration is. lets nerf it" zora swimming was probably "Its so hard to control the zora, lets give it an easy control method as the default" Bosses were to match the previous and future games boss style with set patterns of how you approach them with glaringly obvious weak points.
When it came to asking for a majoras mask remake, I personally was like "If a dev hates their game, they're going to make changhes fans don't like. don't invoke the monkeys paw.
Emulating or using cfw on a 3ds and using 'majora's mask restoration mod' makes it, arguably the definitive edition and is a fantastic way to play the game

@@sonnyrynsaard3567 If you have to use mods to make a remake play as good as the original, then it was a horrible remake. sure its nice to have the best of both worlds, but again. shouldn't have to be modded to get that.
I understand being upset, but you can't realistically expect nintendo to support a service that only a handful of people are actually using.
Seriously, when a company stops supporting their product, just pirate. You're not doing anything wrong because they're literally not giving you a choice, and sometimes that's just how it is.
Once again, just pirate. It's easy to sit there complaining that certain games are impossible to find, but just homwbrew your 3ds (it's so easy I've been doing it since I was in middle school and had never owned a computer) and download the hshop. Any game you want a click of a button away.
