I remember someone saying you have to beat Phoenix Wright vs. Professor Layton to get the downloadable content for it, any other games like that?Holy shit what? Um, guess I better get the fuck on that...
Still trying to decide if I want Harvest Moon 64 on WiiU. It's possible that the Switch might add it eventually though.
Wait are patches not able to be downloaded either? I thought it was just the shop that was shutting down.Okay, I had heard a couple of reports that patches were going the way of the dodo, but I did some research upon seeing this post and it turns out Nintendo themselves confirmed that existing patches can still be downloaded.

although as noted there is still the catch they you need to least have PokeBank downloaded already or else you can't get it off the eShop anymoreExactly what I said in the OP.

Another reminder is FE Fates paths must be downloaded by the end of February - a month before everything else.
Oh this is good to know. Playing Engage now and it makes me miss some of Fates' mechanics (I liked pair up and how it handled classes/learning skills). Think I might actually go back and buy Revelations.
As someone who did that because of the eShop closing, I highly recommend that you don't.
While PokeBank will be free, PokeTransfer (for Gen I-III?) is tied to Bank and will need to also be purchased once to still have access to it later!Poke Transfer is for transferring from Gen V (and consequently III and IV) and VC I and II to Bank. You can't download it on its own - you need an active (paid) subscription to Bank to download it if you haven't already. And neither will be downloadable for first-time customers once the shop closes, free or not.
soYes
if one were to hack these things
one could just DL the games AND the DLC?
YesOf course things that actually rely on Nintendo servers such as Pokebank and online multiplayer functions will only exist as long as Nintendo chooses.
Still trying to decide if I want Harvest Moon 64 on WiiU. It's possible that the Switch might add it eventually though.Absolutely no chance of N64 online expansion happening with the Natsume/Marvelous issue. Only chance is if they remake 64 like they've had with Friends of Mineral Town/A Wonderful Life
YesHas it gotten to the point where all DLC is easily hackable? I remember it was very hit and miss for years depending on the game
There's nothing wrong with buying games legally, but this isn't your last chance to play them, and I believe any obligation to the companies involved vanishes when they indefinitely stop providing a way to purchase them. I hate to think that if some of these games aren't bought before the deadline they become lost forever to those unwilling to step outside official channels.I understand the reasons. What I'm bemused by is that every time this comes up, there's at the very least biting sarcasm towards people who want to make every effort to not have to pirate.
Currently trying to get a living Pokedex (and some valuable ones) migrated from Bank to HOME in case anything funny happens .I think you guys missed this part.
I understand the reasons. What I'm bemused by is that every time this comes up, there's at the very least biting sarcasm towards people who want to make every effort to not have to pirate.I suppose it's because of how strongly some people, myself included, feel about delisting. They don't respect the idea that you have to just abandon things that aren't sold, so they're dismissive of rushing to go along it.
also a reminder it's extremely easy to hack a 3DS and now that the shop is closing it is also Good to do so
Hacking and pirating always feels a bit intimidating to meLooks like there is a retail version- Holy moly, $270 on Amazon. I guess the eShop isn't a bad choice.
Yo-Kai Watch 3 is the only 3DS game that I'm interested in atm, and maybe buying it legally would help support the series. idk how this stuff works.
People have a fear of being unable to access everything. I bet some of the same people fussing also have game backlogs with 50+ or even 100+ bought games.It's not about not having enough games, it's about treating games as worthy of respect and preservation.
Not saying delisting is a good thing, but if the backlog topics I see here sometimes are any indication, I doubt there will be a shortage of gaming for you.
Probably not likely that Nintendo will do a big eshop sale right before the shop closes right? I have a few things in my wishlist that I've been holding off on purchasing for now just in case.
One method of hacking a 3DS involves using the free game "Pokemon Picross".
Does hacking a Wii U require anything like this?it used to, Brain Age
