Don't laugh, but I was in a real state of depression when the 3DS eshop shutdown.
Ever since the shutdown was announced, I knew that evantaully I would need to make a in-depth research what games I want to buy.
And I held it off until the very last month. Then it was a race against time. Looking at recommendtion lists, reviews, youtube vidoes, trying to compile a list of games that I want and don't own yet.
Then crossing off games that I can get on other platforms.
It took a long time but evantually I made the list. It totalled to $2700 worth of games that I "somewhat want"
Which is absurd
So I trimmed it a little more....and it was still around $1000
Around $1000 of games that I might never play but want to purchase just in case that someday I will want to play them
Because fuck FOMO
At the end I decided to check how each game runs on Citra, realized that most of them run fine and those that don't I am not willing to pay full price for (look I am curious about Federation Force and Sticker Star but no way in hell I am going to pay $40 for each) and only Bravely Second had some problems so that was the only game I bought
All of this story just to say -
Fuck Nintendo, preserve your games
Also funny thing-
There were plenty of games that never saw a eshop release or were removed from it at some point.
Like, want Cave Story 3D? Tough luck, must buy a physical copy for $300
