They stopped making the 3DS so it's either buy one used or pay insane prices. When that eShop goes all the games prices will likely go insane.
I really wonder why they stop making certain systems especially when they dont ever truly go out of demand

I’d gladly drop $200 for a brand new PS2 or PS3

Pretty sure people would still buy SNES, Genesis, N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, GameCube, 360 and whatever else I left out and be willing to drop 2-300 for a brand new one of each. And prolly $50 on brand new games from each.
Nintendo games are the only ones I will always buy physical copies of. If you buy it digitally you are asking to lose your game in the long run.
I’m confused :dwillhuh:

I thought this meant u won’t be able to buy them anymore. This means you won’t even be able to play them if u already own them?

I bought Rhythm Heaven Megamix as it seems like an Eshop exclusive and I love weird obscure Nintendo stuff. This is very fun.

Shame to see them shut this down. 3ds had a great library and a lot of sleepers. I'm sure they made a shytload more in the last week then they did in the last few years in that shop lol

I just plugged up my Wii U and booted Xenoblade X. Surprisingly it still works. Many Wii Us are bricked.

People might flame me for this but idc. 3DS/DS library is on par with snes. It's THAT good.
