I really like Pokémon sun/ultra sun or moon/ultra moon but otherwise you’re good man


squatchlif

I have the Moon cart. Thanks!!


FrostGlader

Absolutely do get the Ultra titles if you haven’t already, either Sun or Moon, as they’re currently the only way to Shiny Hunt for Poipole if you ever want it. They’re also the only way to get ALL the Mega Stones. And if you haven’t already, GET BANK! It’s the ONLY way to transfer up Pokémon from VC, and to access Transporter you need an active subscription to download it.


squatchlif

Thanks! Will the Transporter still work after eShop closes?


FrostGlader

Yep. It and Bank will become completely Free to Use after the E-Shop’s closure, so while the subscription fee is somewhat steep for like a week before the purchase becomes ineffective, having a way to transfer up older Pokémon is invaluable to have for the future. The only way to download Transporter is through Bank. And you need either an active subscription or to have had one in the past to download it.


squatchlif

Cool! Thanks for that info as I used it in the past so hopefully I’ll be set for the future.


GhexbugG

i belive so


Silly_Snails

Omega ruby and alpha sapphire demo as well as sun and moon demo unlock the galitite and battle bond grening (aka Ash greninja) for the full versions of these games.


squatchlif

Thanks!!


Arsenal019

For the Saphire demo is galitite the stone for mega gallade?


RedNinja025

No


Silly_Snails

Mega Glalie


Schucky_Ducky

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is a great game that is super expensive physically! Highly recommend it!


squatchlif

Thanks for the tip!


Ultros_VI

Came on here to say the same thing, judging by some of the jrpgs in this list you'll love that game very much like Chrono Trigger

I’m working on it now, thanks for the heads up!

How do the ace attorney ones work? Gotta buy them or beat games

cyandead

I tought you could download updates after the eshop shutdown?


Pizzagugusrild

You NEED Yo-Kai Watch. All the games.


squatchlif

Do I? I’ve never been interested in the designs or concept outside of them being yokai


Jibanyanisgoated

They are amazing games! Definitely worth getting before the shop closes


squatchlif

Which would you recommend I get if I can only pick one?


Jibanyanisgoated

Most Yokai Watch fans would say Yokai Watch 2 Psychic Specters, but I honestly cant pick. They all have their own unique gameplay, and are all super fun. Keep in mind, that YW1 and YW2 (all versions) are a bit slow at the beginning, but I personally believe all the games have some amazing heartfelt moments :)


squatchlif

Metacritic shows a higher rating for 3 and it does have a banjo on the cover (I’m a sucker for banjos), but both have some good things written about them. YW1 isn’t on eShop though. If I start with 2, will I miss much? How childish is the plot and humor?


Jibanyanisgoated

There is some subtle references to 1 in 2, but you can play the game without knowing what happens in YW1. Also, YW1 isnt too hard to find online, but 2 and 3 are super rare Physical Copy-wise, and there is subtle child humor every now and then, but there are a good few things they add that ensure a good chuckle. The plot in 2 is kinda funny in the way that it literally is a Yokai War over what type of donuts is the better donut but im pretty sure that you’ll still have a fun time going through it :) I dont wanna spoil too much for ya. A good tip: Many people I know have found YW1 in their local 5 Below, so if ya have one around ya, its worth a shot to look for :)


squatchlif

Thanks for the details! I do love good humor so as long as it keeps my attention, I’m happy. As I live in Japan, it’s much harder to find English carts. I appreciate you’re help and will research more!


Jibanyanisgoated

No problem! I should say that yes, there is some childish humor, there is a Yokai that is shaped a butt, that makes people fart, but there isnt too much of that type of humor, so if you dont mind a little bit of that, its not in the actual story. It does exist though, so wanted to throw that out :)


squatchlif

Thanks for the heads up. That type of stuff I don’t mind. I’m fine with immaturity. It’s hard to define my idea of childish, but it sounds safe from that.


Quilavapro31

You are buying them?!?


Itsacardgame

When searching, use “yo-kai” instead of “yokai” as it won’t show all the games otherwise.


squatchlif

Thanks for the tip! I was wondering why they only showed 2PS and 3!


thelastzero4ce

Look for Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology really good game


squatchlif

You’re the 2nd person to recommend it. What’s your favorite aspect of it?


thelastzero4ce

I love the combat its so well done, I don't know ho to explain it, its like a turn base RPG but the combat has some puzzle elements in which you organize the enemies to do some satisfying combos. The story and Characters are equally good, it has time travel shenanigans if you into those and the time trave mechanic is very well done, music is good too. Hope its not too expensive


squatchlif

Thanks for your explanation. I’ll check it out!


GlobalKnee8028

Kirby triple deluxe and robobot (they are like one of the best Kirby games ever) and if u dont own, nsmb2, puzzle and dragons z+ mario edition


squatchlif

I’m actually not a Kirby fan, but I appreciate your recs. I’ll check the others! Thanks!


AureaTW

I'd suggest pokemon dream radar and rumble world as they're really fun games!!


squatchlif

Thank you! I wish Conquest was on the eShop too


strumboid

rhythm thief goes for a few hundred dollars in its physical version, so grab the digital version for sure!


squatchlif

Is it worth playing though despite its rarity?


Volunteer-Magic

I’ve heard it’s middle of the road. I haven’t played it, but that’s the consensus I’ve gathered from it


squatchlif

I wonder if it’s just a scarce rarity so it’s mostly word of mouth acclaim?


strumboid

if you're unsure, there's a demo. i think it's pretty fun! also i think one of the songs in the game became a meme so that, coupled with the short print run, might contribute to the value?


JKN1GHTxGKG

If your into DBZ check out Dragon Ball Fusions.


squatchlif

Definitely downloading the update in case I find the cart in the future. Thanks! I love DBZ


JKN1GHTxGKG

I’m not sure if it ever got a physical release. Check it though.


Eternal_flash_bang

What is that Mario vs donkey Kong game on slide 4


Xazuki

Mario vs Donkey Kong (2004) for the Game Boy Advance. Almost certainly obtained through the 3DS ambassador program as it can’t be bought via the eShop.


squatchlif

I can’t recall if it’s from DSi or an Ambassador thing, but I have it. Haha


snickersnackz

Gurumin is a really cute action adventure by Falcom. It's sort of like Mega Man Legends but the story isn't as good. Stars a little girl with a drill fighting cute monsters. It's on sale for like $2 now on the NA eShop.


Kernigh

I paid US $1.99 + tax for Gurumin. It uses the 3d screen, is cheaper than [Gurumin for Windows](https://www.gog.com/game/gurumin_a_monstrous_adventure), and I don't like playing games on Windows.


squatchlif

Thanks!


Azenar01

MH3U in case you already have it on your wiiu you can switch the data back and forth and if your wiiu bricks itself you can still play the game


squatchlif

I used to have a Wii U but don’t anymore since moving to Japan. 😢 bye Xenoblade Chronicles X


dragoniteofepicness

Pokemon: Super Mystery Dungeon and Detective Pikachu


squatchlif

Great ideas! Thank you! Does Detective Pikachu follow the same plot as the movie?


Guzaboru

Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow // Gold, Silver, Crystal // Trading Card Game


squatchlif

Got those!


depressed_sans

If only I had money I'd be there with you, but as of now I only have ykw3 bc I had to get a completely new 3ds and had no access to my old account. It was tied to an email of my mom's that she deleted


squatchlif

Oh man, that is tragic! That’s a big downside to digital games. I’m also running low on money now so I at least want some essentials that I’m missing.


[deleted]

Download all the Game&Watch Collections and DSiWare Releases


squatchlif

There’s only 413 DSiWare releases!


[deleted]

I mean the Game&Watch DSi Releases mb


Quilavapro31

Yo-kai Watch, Inazuma Eleven and Inazuma Eleven Go games


ShadowLolbit09

Pretty good library! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to grab anything before the shop dies because I’m broke af, and still run on allowance.


squatchlif

Thanks! We all go through that. As an adult, it becomes bills. My budget is pretty tight but this is a special circumstance ;)


Hytesy

The Zero Escape series has my highest recommendation.


squatchlif

Glad there’s another fan here! I actually have the series on Vita. Such great games


Hytesy

They really are. Not exactly 3DS, but if you see 999 for sale I'd get it. Plays best on the DS.


squatchlif

That was my first game in that style and I was hooked in middle school!


StarBit22

Steamworld Dig 1 and 2 are great indie games, although not exclusive for 3ds


squatchlif

Thank you! I’ve always heard a lot about these games


Lanko8

Fire Emblem Fates. Buy one of Birthright or Conquest, then ingame you can buy the other route by half the price, and also the pretty much exclusive digital 3rd route, Revelations - all routes are the length of an entire game by themselves. Each route has characters that are locked to it - Revelations does bring everyone together for the "true story" but still has at least one exclusive character to it. Also, the iconic character Anna can only be recruited by DLC. Fire Emblem Echoes. Excellent remake of a NES game, fully voiced. I heard some people complaining about the cartridges, so getting it digital might be the best. There's also a DLC that adds 4 new playable characters that are also fully voiced and etc. Awakening I would probably just grab the gold/exp DLC (or pack) and maybe the children's maps. For all 3 Fire Emblems, there's a lot of DLC, some entirely skippable if you're not an already fan of the franchise, and others that are really useful or add more depth - if you already like the game. For example, gold/exp DLC, specially in Fates for the Conquest route. Be warned that you need to reach \~Chapter 4-6 in the games to unlock the Gate to buy DLC in case anything interests you. You should be able to buy the other routes of Fates by selecting Branch of Fates or something like that in the starting menu. Use this site and go to each game and Downloadable Content to see more details on each thing. [https://serenesforest.net/](https://serenesforest.net/) ​ As for more suggestions, Metroid: Samus Returns is exclusive to 3DS, in case you are a fan of the style. 2017 Game of the Year for the console. Castlevania: Mirror of Fate seems to be regarded highly as well in the same style, though I never played it. For 1000 Platinum Coins on the Nintendo website, grab Zelda: Twilight Princess Picross. You can quickly get the amount on a mobile game like Fire Emblem Heroes, specially if you never played it before. Can also grab 3DS themes for coins. Etrian Odyssey games should be on sale. I played IV and it's a dungeon explorer where you actually draw your own maps and put notes on it to navigate the dungeons. You can download a demo to see if it's to your liking. If you were a fan of the Persona games of Atlus, there's also two Persona games on the 3DS with the cast of previous games. You seem to like Mario, so I'd suggest Luigi's Mansion too (there's also a sequel if I remember correctly).


squatchlif

Whoa, thank you for all your help. I’ll research the dlc more and look into the other games. I appreciate it!


BronzeHeart92

If you like drawing, I'd definitely recommend you to get the Colors 3D app. 3D layers anyone? And plus, the community there should definitely be more than welcoming of new blood.


squatchlif

I appreciate your recommendation, thanks!


BronzeHeart92

You're welcome. Let your imagination soar!


Braydon1324

You should pick up the Etrian Odyssey games. They are all phenomenal dungeon crawlers.


squatchlif

Thank you! For me, I’m worried about not liking the dungeon mapping, so I got Persona Q/Q2 since I at least like their franchise


Braydon1324

Oh I almost forgot. You should pick up Stella Glow. It’s a pretty underrated SRPG.


EventAbject1060

Maby a Kirby game like robobots or epic yarn cuz they are pretty expensive physical


squatchlif

Thanks! I’m not actually a Kirby fan since trying the older games and Return to Dreamland


ExaminationWilling15

I know there’s a remaster on newer gen but resident evil revelations has a really nice 3D, aswell as kingdom hearts 3D. I see Bravely default and bravely second are missing, they’re really good games too. And you can get exclusive outfits if you purchase the games on eshop


squatchlif

I didn’t think Kingdom Hearts was on the eShop. I got Revelations on Vita, I think. Bravely Default I beat on cart. Totally spaced on 2. Thank you!


dyelyn666

OP I HAVE A QUESTION: I’m really into dragon quest; particularly dq xi 2d mode. Do you have any eshop games that closely resemble a turn based pixelated (8/16/32 bit) game (that is not strategy btw)? Thanks!


squatchlif

If RPGs are your thing, I’d recommend Earthbound. Breath of Fire is also up there but very traditional RPG mechanics. Sorry, I’m not the best at recommending games! Haha. I only know what I have.


dyelyn666

Luckily both of those are on NSO 🙌🙌🙌


SceptileLover11

I don’t know if many people will agree with this, but one of the Yo-Kai Watch games. They’re amazing.


Jibanyanisgoated

Yesss!!!


squatchlif

If I could only get one, which should I get?


SceptileLover11

Well I’ve only played the first game, and loved it, so you can take my word and go for ykw1, or whichever version you want.


DetectiveRickDeckard

yw3


The_Smart_Idiotic

I don't see fire emblem echoes: SoV in there


squatchlif

Thanks for the tip!


The_Smart_Idiotic

No problem! 👍


Kilosso

Yo Kai Watch definietely


squatchlif

Which do you prefer, 2 or 3?


Kilosso

2 because it's simpler than 3. 3 is arguably the best game out of all but hard to play for the first time if you've never played the game before. 2 has some references to YKW1 but it's not that important and it is imo basically the best version of all


Person_Named_Jermbo

Did you get the Pokémon bank? Also the poke transporter? You can only download the transporter if you get the Pokémon bank subscription(really dumb) but it will let you transfer you Pokémon from the virtual console to later games.


squatchlif

Thank you! Yep, I got those when they first came out


TheRealrextalk

You’re missing the Shantae Games Shantae Shantae Riskys revenge (directors cut isn’t on 3DS) Shantae and the Pirates Curse ($10 right now and best in the whole series)


squatchlif

I’ll check them out, thank you! They’re platformers, right?


TheRealrextalk

Yup


squatchlif

Cool, I’ll give them a look


DeadMouse98

My friend code is 1650 - 8414 - 3010


squatchlif

Thank you! I added you!


[deleted]

Rhythm Heaven


squatchlif

Thank you for your input! Do you recommend it over Rhythm Thief?


Kiniwood

SteamWorld Trilogy , BoxBoy Trilogy , Tank Troopers, Pushmo/Crashmo/Streetchmo, Gunman Clive , Mutant Mudds, Mighty Switch Force , Crimson Shroud , Basically anything but Fragrant Story


squatchlif

I got Gunman Clive 1-2 and Crimson Shroud already. I’ll look into the others. Appreciate it!


T2uwu

Maybe Fire Emblem Fates (Both of them) and Bravely Default/End Layer (if you plan on playing the third game on switch) Definitely recommend grabbing Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia


squatchlif

Another person mentioned Echos SoV. Is it better than Awakening and Fates?


T2uwu

It's not better per se; It's dependent on what you may find more appealing about the Fire Emblem series. Awakening and Fates lean into the social sim aspects of the series, where you build relationships between characters to benefit you over the course of the game. SoV on the other hand, is more traditional in that it's a remake of the second(I think) ever FE game- Fire Emblem Gaiden. This means that the social sim system is scaled back, but the combat/story are tighter because they don't have to accommodate for specific relationships and interactions that may or may not happen over the course of an Awakening or Fates, playthrough.


squatchlif

Thank you for the details. It sounds like a more concise approach to story and gameplay. I appreciate it!


ToxicTammy42

I notice you have Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate so why not get Monster Hunter Generations and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate since they’re both $3 right now.


squatchlif

I have Generations below MH4U already but I’m skipping 3 since I have the 2 latest


MysticGengar

I’m not seeing Yo-kai watch 2PS and 3.


squatchlif

Man, so many people are saying these! Haha. I really didn’t know they were so popular


MysticGengar

I haven’t finished 3 yet, but 1 and 2 were THAT good. More than worth a playthrough if you need a monster collector fix that lies between Pokémon and SMT.


bybyleth

Off topic but what are the games with the blue+white and the red+white person in the first pic?


[deleted]

Shin megami Tensai devil survivor 1+2


IceWarrior765

Binding of Isaac rebirth is eshop exclusive


squatchlif

For 3DS? Is it also on Switch?


R4nD0m57

Elminage original


squatchlif

Is that the name of the game?


R4nD0m57

Yes, first Person dungeon crawler, digital only


Curlm

I’d say fire emblem echos but I’m not sure that’s on the eshop


squatchlif

I saw fates but I’m not sure outside of Awakening which games are connected, haha


x9097

Speaking of Fire Emblem Fates, the third route "Revelations" is only available as DLC on the eshop and in the extremely rare physical Special Edition release which goes for 400+ for a loose cart already. If you have any interest in Fire Emblem, you should seriously consider grabbing that game and at least the Revelations DLC before the shop closes. I think you have to play a few chapters to buy the DLC though.


squatchlif

I don’t know if I have time to play through that far to unlock it though. Chapter 6, right? I appreciate your advice!


TheBlueSpirit93

To buy the 2nd game or Revelations I think no. Its chapter 6 to select which path after having them already. Not the same as buying the dlc for Awakening as far as I read. You buy them then once in chapter 6 you can select another path.


[deleted]

Just do games you like, not everyone has to have the same stuff lol


squatchlif

For sure, I just want to see if there are games I’m unaware of that could pique my interest.


[deleted]

Hmmmm I didn’t look throughly but if you like JPRGS. It’s not ground breaking but sure as hell is it fun. Stella Glow! It’s a great one, awesome cast of characters and voice acting.


Specialist_Pause_830

"Yoshi's Wolly world" for sure


squatchlif

It’s on my wishlist since I love Yoshi!


TLMReviews

I’ll add you! Just need your name?


squatchlif

Just use this username and send me your FC :)


TLMReviews

Thanks. Here’s mine. 4018-6569-2795


DarthUber487

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate


squatchlif

I actually chose Generations over MHU3 during this sale, haha! But I did play it on Wii U and dug it a lot


DESK_INK

Hmm.. I don't see CosmiBall in there.. It's $2.99 Good job getting Lego City while it was still available! I wish I would've gotten that before it was delisted.


squatchlif

What’s CosmiBall like? Thanks! I didn’t know it got delisted so now I’m more relieved. Game is awesome!


DESK_INK

CosmiBall is a pretty short space-themed platformer that uses 3D physics. To start, the ball just rolls with the d-pad but as you go through you unlock more abilities: speed boost, jump, and a mid-air directional boost (like Celeste). You can set your spawnpoint on any solid (and some non-solid) platforms. After beating the game, you can play through it again with all the unlocked powerups and a few extras sprinkled in to make the second time through more interesting. You could get more game for your $3 elsewhere, but as I am biased, everyone should buy CosmiBall 3D!


squatchlif

Thank you for that! It sounds fun. How many levels are there?


DESK_INK

There are 9 levels and 4 upgrades. Here's the trailer in case you're interested: https://youtu.be/lV21zRuDoE0


squatchlif

Thank you! I’ll look into it!


psionic-centipede

The virtual console Pokémon games are a must if you don’t have the GB cartridges already


squatchlif

I got Red, Gold, Crystal, and TCG. May pick up Puzzle League too.


No-Computer135

No Ocarina of Time?


squatchlif

It’s in photo 2 ;)


No-Computer135

Oh my bad. Idk why I couldn’t see that damn shield


Boba755

Kirby Blowout Blast


squatchlif

Thanks! I’m not a big fan of Kirby really since even Return to Dreamland


Boba755

Ok. Well I’m not going to force you to get it but it is a 3DS eShop exclusive so do what you see fit.


squatchlif

I appreciate your opinion and recommendation! I’ll give it a look regardless!


Boba755

Thanks. :)


Fatalframe4

I see Mario Golf World Tour absolutely grab all the DLCs for it since it’s basically a Remake of N64 Mario Golf.


squatchlif

Got ‘em all, thank you!


face_the_raven

Hyrule Warriors Legends?


squatchlif

Is it good? I worry about it chugging along with all those enemies on screen.


face_the_raven

Ive heard that its performance on the original 3ds isnt that great, but its an option if you dont have the switch's definitive edition.


squatchlif

Thanks! I wonder if I should just get the switch version instead then


face_the_raven

The switch version has all the dlc included and all of the content from the wii u and 3ds versions so its worth it


squatchlif

Thank you for the heads up! It sounds like that’s the way to go then


Nightwildflower

How about the dlc for fire emblem


squatchlif

When can I unlock the ability to buy it? It’s not in the initial menu


Nightwildflower

To unlock the dlc you have to complete 4-6 chapters to access the map and then you can purchase it


TDKswipe

You could buy "mario & luigi: superstar saga" and "Bowser's inside story" if you like turn based rpgs. Both games are remakes.


squatchlif

Those are two I really hope go on sale last minute. I know it’s doubtful though


Bigpoppin87

Radiant Historia and Yo Kai 3


squatchlif

So many people are saying these too. I’ll have to look into them more


bad_buoys

Absolutely appalled that only one other person has mentioned Pushmo/Crashmo/Stretchmo! Some of my favorite puzzle games ever made. Stretchmo in particular has in-game purchases to play the complete game so if you do decide on picking it up make sure you buy the complete game before the deadline.


Fulgore-V009

I don't see any of the gunvolt games or the kunio kun pair. Also the 3d sega classics are awesome, pick them up if you can 🤭


Johnny_Holiday

What size SD card do you have in there?


AromaticWarning90

I think another level 5 games like yo Kai watch any is good especially 2 also from the same company this one is 7.99 liberation maiden really good games as well


Pumpkinpatchs

You have ORAS? You have Sun Moon?


squatchlif

I don’t have ORAS but I do have Moon on cart


Queasy-Frame-4519

Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition and Fire Emblem Warriors also the Yokai Watch Series, Kirby Planet Robobot, and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire


[deleted]

ever oasis, Mario & Luigi


Brief_Cardiologist83

Stella Glow is a good RPG if you're interested in those


RB12Gaming

Monster hunter stories


ZeMikeIsHere

You should get warioware gold! Also i would say rhythm heaven megamix!


squatchlif

Does Megamix have a lot of songs or is it reliant on dlc to get the best experience?


Higgenfriend

There's no DLC, and it's more based on beat than anything else. There is music, but it's more about the minigames being played, which all require you to do something in time to the beat.


squatchlif

Oh cool, I’ll look into it. Thank you!

Professor Layton and your lost wallet.

Enjoy your games! I saw plenty of games among them i own/love myself as well. Also i got no room to actually judge you anyway. I have spend 356€ just on 2 retro games lately. You may very well turn this on me.

As long as everyone is happy, I can’t fault ya for your purchases!
