So pick up everything you can now before they're gone forever and there's absolutely no way to conveniently get these games on your 3DS ever again! Yep!

>____>

But seriously, if you want to do this legit, you have to do some bullshit where you link your 3DS and WiiU accounts to your NSO account and add money from your Switch to use it on those platforms. idk the process but I'm sure there's plenty of step by step guides online

So buy and download whatever you want on your 3DS for the rest of your fucking life NOW! Cuz in 3 weeks you won't be able to!!!

nah it only psuedo-died because they removed the ability to easily add funds with a credit card about a year ago.

On the 27th, it dies for real.

No, it's been a slow process of disabling the ability to add funds. But March 27th is when they actually pull the plug on the shop

This! Which means I'll have to pay for Pokemon Home :( for a month at least

I was going to get Pokemon Crystal before the eShop shut down, but with GB games coming to Switch, I won't bother.

You can still do that afterwards as long as you downloaded the apps beforehand. Only the eShop is getting shut down, not the online service.

Yeah, they said Pokemon Bank will keep running for a while (and for free I think?) and afaik, games will still have online servers. But you just can't go to the eShop anymore. So download every app you want to play now before it's too late, including Pokemon Bank

A heads up for Wii U owners.

It's now possible to go on a website using the internet browser and backing up your games on a USB stick or hard drive in a format that can be read by Windows or whatever. No hacking needed.

Might be helpful for some people out there.

It is. But Pokemon Home still requires a membership fee if you want to transfer pokemon from Bank.

True, but I was only getting Crystal "just in case". If it doesn't come to Switch eventually, no big deal. I'm sure I'll find another way to play it if I want to.

I have most of my games on a single 4 or 8GB SD card but I need to buy a 32GB SD card for the rest of the games I want to buy + their DLC. What's the easiest way to get all my old games + new ones on a new SD card?

I used to be an avid 3DS collector, then my analogue stick started to get a little bit unresponsive, and I was hit with this. What's the point of collecting? It's all gonna stop working.

Can you just copy everything over to the new card?

Yes, but you still have to buy it now to download the Poke Transporter. You can't wait until it's free because by then the shop's no longer up to give you the Transporter. >_>

The analog stick is easy and cheap to replace. You can find videos on youtube showing how to do it.

At least when I was still paying attention I still saw new games getting added to the Wii U eshop for a few years after the console was already discontinued.

Almost all random indie stuff. Very surprised to hear its still online. Around a couple years ago almost all the online apps the Wii U had started falling into uselessness without updates. Making it not viable as an optional entertainment hub.

I think mine's just degrading. I struggle to get Link to walk in Link Between Worlds or Triforce Heroes anymore. He just slowly saunters instead unless I really wrench the thing. Not very usable.

@SomeLikeItHoth

Get an SD card reader and plug it into your computer. Copy the folder within the SD card to your computer, remove the SD card, then move the contents of the folder to your new SD card. Make sure the new card is completely empty before placing your data inside so it'll work properly. It's super easy, barely an inconvenience!

Btw you can also buy 3DS games directly from the Nintendo website and initiate download by putting it in sleep mode, for anyone who just wants to buy games and doesn't want to bother with adding funds via Switch or buying DLC.

So if we still have a 3DS we can't use it to purchase games and apps? How does that work then? Do you have to use a gift card?

I have one lying around but I haven't used it in a while. I was hoping to pick up some games before the shop closed for good.

If you have a Wii U two games came out on it just two weeks ago. Sure it's digital so they're never really "gone" or "rare" but it's certainly an oddity. They're both horror games under this "Silver Falls" anthology. There's a 3DS one as well, all three being different games.
