Topic: How long until the 3ds dies?

Not so much 3ds related, but I noticed nintendo.com removed the ability to view and purchase digital games for wii u 😩. One step closer.

@NintendoByNature I've noticed for some time that the interface on the sites has been dogs*** for anything that isn't the Switch. It's a nightmare to browse 3DS titles in a way that makes any logical sense.

@Maximumbeans yea, it's a little clunky right now imo.

There’s actually a sizable amount of good 3ds eshop games. Searching for them is an actual skill.

Any opinions on crimson shroud????? Similar to Grinisia for 3ds????????!

@NintendoByNature What's up with that! I just went to see how much Mario 64 on Wii U costed but I couldn't find the page!

The interface is really bad right now, I hope it gets better. It takes a couple seconds for everything to load, which is really annoying when you're scrolling through a page because you can't see anything.

@Mikmoomamimocki yea i know. I'm not sure what the point is considering you can still view 3ds games.

Nintendo has Animal Crossing New Horizons for $20 (physical copy) in their store.

There's a few other physical 3DS games for sale as well. Good luck navigating their fustercluck of an interface to find them all.

@SnackPop I can't figure out for the life of me, how to buy physical from the nintendo store.

@NintendoByNature Me neither. So far I've only been able to find the physical copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf.

EDIT: Also found a physical copy of Super Mario Maker 3DS

@SnackPop well that's strange. Doesn't seem to work with a couple others I've tried.

The new store interface is such a mess. It almost feels like they did it on purpose to dissuade users from finding WiiU and 3DS content.

Will big updates also go away when the eShop closes? I'm mainly thinking of Welcome Amiibo for ACNL.

@Fizza
Time to download all the updates from 3DS eshop. They can be dowliaded first before you have the games.

Be careful what you wish for!

@Fizza New Leaf had an option to download the update from the game itself on the title screen, which is how I upgraded to Welcome Amiibo. No idea if this needs the eShop to function though... There is also a physical version of Welcome Amiibo however.

Thank the stars.
