Both the 3DS and Wii U eShops have now officially been closed. I hope you were all able to get the games you wanted before the end. Rest In Peace...

Such an underrated channel. High quality videos, clean format and great audio quality - both the mic and the other audio sources - very entertaining and sometimes informative and helpful!

You should definitely buy games from the Yokai Watch series (especially the third one, since that didn't get much physical release so the prices will skyrocket). Amazing game series, would recommend.

[ThaddeusSilva]

Pushmo is another one of the first games, actually probably THE first game I got on the eShop. I was so addicted to that game, as a kid that LOVED everything puzzle games & platforming, it was the absolute best of both worlds. I also think it's a must have. I'm really hoping they make a new one for the switch.

[PGReviews_]

Losing that Wii U virtual console library is truly gonna sting, especially the DS games. There's still a few I want to snag before they pull the plug. Gonna really miss browsing the eshop on these systems.

[katieb]

Love this list! Definitely want to check out some of these titles. Also a 3DS eShop exclusive (at least in North America) that I like is Style Savvy: Styling Star. It’s super quirky but anyone who likes fashion and putting together outfits will find it enjoyable

[EngineerDJ_Julius]

The 3DS is the greatest handheld ever by modern standards


StreetPass & SpotPass were unforgettable experiences

[kieranrigs]

Please don’t stop making wii content. I’m so happy there is a community out there that feels the same about these beautiful games

[ThaddeusSilva]

I was gonna be sad if you didn't include Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword. That game is one of my favorite experiences ever. It was one of the first games I got when I first got my 3DS, the gameplay is so satisfying and addictive. I really hope they either port or make a new entry for the switch.

[EternalStar]

My favorite from the 3DS was a Commodore 64 style platformer where your character flips gravity instead of jumping! Great game with a stellar 8 bit soundtrack!

[chasitymiles]

The games I downloaded on my 3DS are Nintendo Badge Arcade, Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, Stretchmo, Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure, Mario and Donkey Kong Minis on the Move, Photos with Mario, Pokémon Rumble World, Pokémon 3D Pro, Pokémon Picross, BOXBOY, Sparkle Snapshots 3D, and Swapdoodle. I also downloaded some DSi games and Virtual Console Game Boy Games, and I will be so sad when the 3DS shop closes.

On Wii U I highly recommend Dungeons & Dragons Chronicles of Mystara. It was only released on the SEGA Saturn. And this version adds a lot of improvements as well. Probably my favourite eShop game on the Wii U. Another very important mention would be Project Zero Maiden of black water. If you want to play it, as it was supposed to be played, with the Wii U Pad, rather than on the Switch.

[lordtheodore]

A game I'd like to draw attention to is EDGE. It's a puzzle game where you control a cube in an abstract 3D world to reach a goal. It's on 3DS, Wii U, Steam, and also mobile devices if you aren't able to get it on the Nintendo consoles.
Also, the Art of Balance soundtrack is great! I wouldn't have found it if you had not mentioned it here.

[mysticalcobra]

Metroid prime trilogy is a good one too- the physical copies are already ready expensive, so this is definitely the best way to buy it.
*finished the video, he mentions it at the end

[nothoughtsheadem]

There's one game series that always gets overlooked on the 3DS which is the Etrian Odyssey series. They're extremely fun dungeon crawlers published by Atlus, and there's also 2 Persona spinoffs as well (Persona Q and Persona Q2). If you plan on digging into the series I think Etrian Odyssey IV is a great place to start, or if you just plan on getting one title then the final title Etrian Odyssey Nexus is a fine addition as well with lots of qol fixes. As someone who isn't typically into the dungeon crawling genre, I really can't stress enough just how lovable these games are and how much experimentation with your parties that you have.

[EricasTouch]

Thanks for posting this. I just downloaded a bunch of Zelda games and Mario Kart to my 2DS XL. I have a couple more games I will get later before the eShop closes.

[smilesnack]

The “DENPA MEN” series games are also really fun and surprisingly challenging rpgs!

[juliannocartagena]

YES YES YES! About time someone talked about Weapon Shop de Omasse. Now for me, a game I’d recommend that’ll be gone forever (legally) would be the Denpa Men series. They’re really good, check them out.

[peachydan]

I just recently found your channel and I really enjoy your content. Very well made and enjoyable videos!

Anyway, one thing I highly recommend is the GBA version of Mario 3. Super Mario Advance 4. This is a must buy if your a hardcore Mario fan, because the Wii U version includes all the e-reader levels that are not available anywhere else. Not only do you get a really great version of Mario 3, but 40+ extra levels separate from the main game. You definitely will not regret it!
