Pokémon Games Continue To Dominate 3DS Charts Ahead Of eShop Shut Down

At least the ace attorney games are doing well. shows that having a nice last minute sale makes sense. Take note Square Enix and Atlus….

I only downloaded all the updates for Pokemon 3DS games since I played 3DS games in physical.

People need to figure out what discord bots are. Nintendo doesn't deserve money for lazy ports. Especially not on the 3ds. Save your money people.

I'm amazed at the lack fire sales going on

@Acein210 Contrary to popular belief, many people aren't interested in learning how to mod. There will always be demand for legitimate copies of games, physical or digital.

I picked up the Ace Attorney games, Gurumin 3D, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate the other week. Capcom really came in clutch with their sales.

Keep trying to decide if I want to pick up Blue on my New 3DS or not. Already have the other Game Boy games across my two 3DSes so kind of want it just for completion reasons, but I also don't actually need it in the event I ever decide to finish the Pokedex because the only exclusives not in Yellow are Magmar and Meowth and you can get them both from Silver.

@Thief But why on earth are people that stubborn over a system that was already discontinued for 4 years and in this economy just burn money like this when modding is so risk free?

@Thief I get it but the discord bot thing is so easy and free. Just think people are better off saving their money in this case but that's just me.

@Acein210 @PipeGuy64Bit people are free to spend their money as they please.

i've been getting into indie monster tamer games, they're pretty fun or is it just interesting to see what they do different? currently enjoying monster crown, but it seems to be really buggy on switch so you might want to get it on another platform if you're into it.

just mentioning cause idk i think i can pass on grabbing a digital version of the classics since i already got carts and the older remakes.

@Midge In Europe we‘re having an Atlus sale, but no Capcom sale. I believe Capcom has held no sale for years over here…would love to buy the AA games, but not at full price.

I want to grab Yellow, but how do we pay for them at this point?

@msvt you need to have your NNID (the old accounts the WiiU and 3DS used) tied to a modern Nintendo Account, and then you can use a Switch or the Nintendo website to add funds to your wallet .

@Midge atlus have a sale. At least in europe. I picked Persona Q, Soul Hackers and SMT devil survivor 2 for 3'99€ each.

Any game I don't have but want to play again, I'm just going to acquire it in other ways... Done the same with my PSP and PSVita.

As if they haven’t dominated the 3DS eShop charts week in week out for years now

How many of these games are exclusive though? Ace Attorney Trilogy is on Switch, I don't really get why people would buy it on 3DS, especially when there are so many games that need to be saved.

HOW is Super Street Fighter 4 3D in the charts when you can find it in any CEx???

I've brought a lot of other games but the original Pokémon games don't appeal to me anymore. I have Fire Red and Leaf Green on GBA and really don't feel like going back to the original games. Each to their own I guess.

It is going to be hilarious if the Pokemon games get added to Switch Online the day after the 3DS eshop closes down.

@ComfyAko the AA trilogy is only $3. That's why. Also the 2 sequels are digital only (apollo came out on the DS but its digital only on the 3ds) and are also both $3.

@OhianGamer it's only $3 so it's going to increase sales, such as the AA games and Mosntet hunter games.

@wazlon Same here.

I looked at the screenshots of the old Pokemon games and thought, 'I have all the GBA ones plus LGE, SwSh and Violet'.

@Trikeboy It would be very maddening (I haven't bought them) but at least with the downloadable versions you don't have to keep paying for them via subscription.

@Oppyz666 I don’t see the logic behind Atlus and Capcom making these final six points regionally exclusive unless they think they are going to cannibalize each other’s sales. I keep opening up my eshop just in case they see reason 😉

I feel I should be embarrassed, like people who don't like dogs, because I've tried a few, and ive never liked a Pokemon game.

@KeeperBvK I religiously check sales trackers everyday, hoping for some of that 90% off goodness from capcom. So far

I have unopened retail games.

Will games be able to UPDATE after the closure?

@Thief I mostly think people don't realize how straightforward it is. I never even knew how easy it was. Also, for me, it's a moral gray area. After the shop closes, there is no legitimate way to buy most of these games that would benefit developers. They will not make money off the games, and they are not private objects that they use. I have never considered modding before the closure, but now I am seriously thinking about it. I will buy the indie games that I want, and pay for anything that's on sale to show my appreciation. For the rest, I really don't know. I might just let them go, or explore other means.

@KeeperBvK Its not Altus, its NIS America that is having the sale in EU. I wish it was Altus, that would give me some hope for NA.

I got the Urban Trial games, Japanese rail games, Stella Glow and Culdcept Revolt on sale.
Also bought Zelda OoT, MM, LBW, Castlevania MoF, Metroid Samus Returns, bunch of dlc and couple of themes.

@NEL83 Oh, really? Does NIS publish Persona Q and some of the SMT games in EU? Really difficult to keep track. ^^

Wow, so basically Pokemon and Capcom Games!

@JohnnyMind So I have to open all my retails games and load them up to update them? If so that really sucks. These says no one releases a finished product so they may be near unplayable if I don't get them updated.

@JohnnyMind

Thank you!
