For the few people that want to play around with photos with mario but don't have the ar cards and don't want to buy them you can look up a picture of the ar card and it will actually register them as the actual card.

I loved streetpass. I used to carry my 3ds in my backpack in college and would get the same passes each week on specific days from others doing the same thing. Plus, bringing it to events and vacations was always fun!

[MoonSarito]

I know that many won't miss it that much, but damn... I still remember when I was at work and my brother sent me a message on my phone saying that they finally delivered the Wii U to my house, I've never run so fast in my entire life.

I got home all excited wanting to play Mario Kart 8 as soon as possible, I put the Wii U on and it was an explosion of joy, I spent hours on Miiverse looking at other people's posts, downloading demos from the eShop and playing Splatoon, Bayonetta 2, Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8, I have so many great memories with the Wii U, I still have it here with me next to my Switch and will probably never get rid of it.

As much as the WIi U was a failure, it is one of the consoles I love the most, it will always be amazing to me, it was the first console I bought with my own money, it was the first console I followed from beginning to end, it was the first console I was able to play on day one of launch and it was the console that gave me amazing experiences like Breath of the Wild.

May he never be forgotten.

Its a stressful time to be a Nintendo gamer, compiled a list based on your tips thanks Zion!

Going back to the 3DS, seeing street pass, the badge arcade, the download animation, and some of the very hardcore or family friendly (but still great) Nintendo games makes me wish the switch had a little bit of this Nintendo quirkiness

[davidcomito]

I was completely oblivious to this whole situation. My Wii U has been in a closet for years but I just played Metroid Prime Remaster on the Switch and was wanting to play more Metoid and discovered that most of the games could be played on the Wii U, then I found out it was just weeks before the eshop closed good. I checked my old wish list and grabbed everything I handed bought. I've been playing the Wii U more than my PS5 in the last week. It's such a bizare thing this console missfired so badly, it really is still a quality system.

Crazy, I haven’t downloaded anything on the 3DS in years and now I’m buying a bunch of games lol. Definitely getting all those capcom games they’re basically a steal.

[JamesA]

This has been such a strange week. I haven't played on my 3DS or Wii U since around 2017, and I never got a Switch -- I kind of moved on from gaming. But I knew the eShops were closing, and so I've dived back in to the community for the first time in years. It's been really great to see and hear from all those YouTubers and bloggers whom I watched for hours and hours. I've just downloaded some freebie themes and looking at whether I want to get some dlc. It looks like the Badge Arcade has already taken away the free plays, but I got about a fortnight's worth of new badges. After this weekend it really will be over, and I'll probably leave gaming again. But it was good to be part of this world again for just a few weeks. Take care everyone.

There’s a prequel-demo of sorts for Bravely Second. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it takes place before the game itself and has a self contained story. Haven’t played it yet, but I believe it’s free and totally exclusive to the eshop.

[riversart]

Don't forget about the 3D Classics series (especially Kirby's Adventure.) It plays even better than the original version with no slowdown and the 3D effect looks really cool.

[mattbabineau]

This really does feel like… way too early for this to happen. It sucks. I get that they can’t keep it around forever, but there were first-party 3DS games that came out in 2019. It just seems like these consoles haven’t been dead long enough to shut everything down.

[newm]

I just bought a Wii U last year, so I know I've missed a lot while I am still trying to cram years of games, and decades of virtual console games, into my limited play time, but Affordable Space Adventure is the game that has so far had the best Wii U gamepad implementation. I played the game solo, and absolutely loved it, and I've heard the 3 person coop is even better than solo play, if that's an avenue you have available.
Also, thank you for videos like this helping me make sure I don't miss things in the mad scramble at the end here.

[majorasecho]

Really sucks to see the eshops close and see a lot of these games get lost. But lucky i did pick up a lot of these games throughout the years on both my 3ds and wiiu. Still need to grab a few especially the digital only ones like style savvy styling star. Never thought i would be into these type of games but i took a chance on trendsetters and got hooked.

You need to format it as fat32 with a special tool to use micro sds bigger than 32GB, I use a 128GB one and it works well, I do get longer boot up times but the in game performance is the same

[Kronos]

There’s a big problem with Pokémon Bank becoming free and that is that it’s gonna be after the eshop shutdown. You need to have had a subscription at some point to be able to download poke transporter which is needed for transfer from gens 1-5 to bank. So if you haven’t gotten it until the eshop shutdown too bad you can’t transfer

[CodyBMcGuire]

Wow, seeing all these Eshop recommendations videos are really bringing back the nostalgia. Looking back over the decade, life seemed so much simpler then.

FOMO bought all the Pokémon virtual console games. Even though 3DS wasn't as utilized as much as I would have liked being busy adulting and such, I still have a lot of good memories with this system and the Wii U.

Ended up getting 3DS initially for Pokémon X and Y. All my friends got back into Pokémon with that title, and we would get together with our 3DS and play together. Played Smash on 3DS until it was released on Wii U, then pretty much forgot about the 3DS version.

Wii U was basically just a Smash and Splatoon machine for me. Completely forgot about street pass until I recently checked it. Had a couple occurrences that I don't remember at all but were probably from the only occasions when I did use 3DS public, which was waiting out in lines hours early during Amiibo hunts while that was still a craze.

How things have changed over the years.

About the SD card size
All you need to do is with a pc to format the SD card that is more than 32GB to the format called fat32 and you can use bigger size cards

[twilightparallax]

Hey, Zeon. Just FYI: In Fire Emblem Fates to get the Revelations dlc, the only prerequisite is to already have both Conquest/Birthright beforehand. You don't need to have played the game at all. Make sure the game is patched to the final ver. This is what I did some time ago when they announced the eshop closure.

[bluejokelpie]

Zion. I just love how your joy and passion for the things you do oozes out of each of your videos! Always a joy to see you!

[charlesedwinbooks]

I was such a massive 3ds carrier and user. I bought 11 of them. The street pass expansion thing is awesome. Each of those games is honestly fantastic loved them all when I played my 3ds every day.
