Just sail the seven seas and mod your consoles. It'll save you hundreds of dollars 'cause some games cost a boatload of money.
No joke btw, some games will actually run you double the amount you payed initially. Depending on the game you may end up paying over the hundreds just because of how much DLC was released for a game.
Also, regardless if you actually want to mod your system or not make sure you get a bigger memory storage unit. Both the 3DS and Wii U have pitiful storage capacity when bought fresh.
The 3DS has a whopping 2GB or 4GB depending on which model you get and when you bought it while the Wii U has 8GB for standard models (White Wii U's) and 32GB for deluxe models (Black Wii U's).
Bring Xeno X to the Switch! Take my money, Nintendo!
This is an extremely underrated video.
When I hear people say this or that game is gonna disappear forever… I end up thinking to myself My guy, ever heard of something called emulation?
Don't forget Steel Diver Sub Wars and Irom Invasion are free downloads on the 3ds..
Luckily gotten every fire emblem ( beside the dlc) and every Pokémon game along with the gb games you guys recommended Luigi mansion talking about the game cube one already have dark moon
I'm trying to get all of the Updates for the games I want to get before the eshop closes for good
Can you buy these e-shop games now without the console? I plan on getting the consoles but can’t atm. I might be out of luck.
Three games that will go over looked.
Dragon’s Lair
Dragon’s Lair Time Warp
Space Ace
These Laserdisc games are currently available on the 3ds Eshop.
With Fire Emblem games DLC, can’t you just go to the EShop and purchase the DLC that way and when you are ready to use them they are available for you?
Even if I get all the games I want, I will still be sad that I can’t even go on the eshop anymore and just look at all the games while listening to the chill music
If you're broke like me, consider jailbreaking your 3DS 😊😂
You could always sail the high seas after the eshops close.
And if Nintendo gets mad, you could always argue that they have no right to complain since titles like Xenoblade Chronicles X aren't being sold by Nintendo anymore, and they can't argue that they lost sales and profit since there aren't any avenues for them to make money anymore with Xenoblade Chronicles X.
It’s so messed up that they shut off the button early to transfer funds. I didn’t get paid until very late on Thursday and now I can’t get anything on the 3DS.
ACTUAL priorities:
Game & Wario
8 bit 3DS titles reworked into 3D
All and anything free.
Done. np.
damn why they wont make a sale for pokemon series uggh i bough gold though
Having played DQ8 on PS2, I can't get over the synth soundtrack for the 3DS. I bought it, played it for a bit, then replayed the PS2 version.
haha hshop go brr
Doing God's work my guy. Thank you a ton. 😊
I like how every eShop get before you buy video there's like people who comment section always bragging about how they modded their system or they're bashing the people who actually buy the game. Says something about them.
Didn't know the fates special edition was rare. I still have mine!!
once again homebrew is the way to go
Excellent video! Thanks kindly
You think Nintendo will make some deals in the last days or not 🤣
Minecraft: New 3DS Edition is Digital only in Europe. That means that Europe is not longer able to play this version unless you already bought it.
Thank you for this guide, to tell the truth, i didn't pay this any mind when i bought the physical versions of Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS a couple of days ago, thank god i got them in time (there's also the matter that for UK fans, the 3DS version of Dragon Quest VII was the only version we ever got, we didn't get the PS1 original in the UK) Thanks for all the help buddy i really appreciate it 🙂
Wii is not running under VC on the Wii U. It runs directly, there's nothing virtual about it.
This man needs a rewards I saw like 5 videos and no one mentioned the fire emblem
Part of having to play
If someone reeds this do yourself a favor and download all available updates from the eshop.
😢😢😢
Or just mod. Spent a day modding/download every game I ever wanted. Also has all the updates
Correction for those interested in physical games: FE: Shadows of Valentia and FE: Conquest complete are available physically for retail price at the moment.
Remember to pick these games up so the indie devs at Nintendo don't starve! Don't hack your 3ds!
They already ended I can’t buy anymore I tried last year
I can’t even buy anything literally I can’t add any money to the 3DS to buy
Sin and punishment 2 never got a physical release. Buy that on Wii U digitally.
Don't ever waste your money on eShop games. You don't own them, and they disappear when you're console goes away. Softmod and download.
With fire emblem fates, play birthright, then conquest, then revelations.
Honestly this video feels like you've not spent much time around the 3DS, or playing the games you are recommending.
What’s the point when you can just CFW and download the stuff you didn’t end up getting?
It’s really not that big of a deal… you can still get the games!
Dont forget photos with mario to.
If they aren't going to keep products for sale don't rush to buy them just join the scurvy crew give Nintendo the middle finger for their bad business practices and for neglecting to keep alive their older titles.
H O M E B R E W
You also need Pokémon black 2 and white 2 to transfer off of the 3ds to switch
Everyone saying that they have no money to buy a Wii U and games it’s ridiculous, Nintendo gave us almost a year notice this was going to happen
You think Nintendo will do a last minute sale on the last day? I'm going to buy a ton of games.
Just pirate them 😂😂😂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzGUGq5CHio hshop my beloved YOU ARE A PRIATE
If you want games but just can't get them due to price you can always mod your Nintendo 3ds but if you do be careful but I have a modded 3ds and I would say it's definitely worth it to get all the games you want without the price
Holy shit…good thing I am NOT a Fire Emblem fan!
The real advice is just hack these systems and loan it up with your totally legit "backups".
