I doubt that will be the reality as companies have incentive to jealously guard their IPs but not the same incentive to sell them

The news about the shutdown got me to dig my 3DS up from the back of the cabinet and start playing some Final Fantasy Theatrhythm Curtain Call so it's impossible to say whether the news is good or bad

You might not be able to buy it through Amazon but 2K has it for sale on their website too Just make sure you pick Switch digital because it defaults to PC. I don't see why it would stop you from buying it there and redeeming the code on the eShop.

John Wick of Dogs posted:It's just funny the people who are maddest are the ones who didn't buy any games on this system and had no intention to. They just believe they should be abstractly 'available' somehow. It is also funny because the Wii U is part of it. I can understand people not being happy with the 3DS eshop closing. I would be shocked if all the people that are angry about the Wii U eshop closing owned Wii Us.

Weird that they haven't ported Chimera Squad to Switch yet. They just kinda released it on Steam and forgot about it.

worms butthole guy posted:I hope Nintendo gets a class action lawsuit because the fact that they can just turn off code / gift redemption is illegal in several states. How does that law even make sense? So if someone carefully preserves a download code for his grandchildren, they can sue the company 100+ years later if they can't redeem it? That seems kind of open-ended, so I'm assuming you're over-simplifying and there is a time limit on the books

I don't want to live in a world where one could no longer buy Theatrhythm DLC. Then again I want to live in a world where Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was on the Nintendo Switch and that hasn't happened either.

Quantum of Phallus posted:the crossover between people who still care about buying 3DS games and people who can’t be arsed to hack their 3DS must be minuscule That might be me. I have a hacked DS Lite, and it's nice and fun, but I have far less will to do that with my 3DS for whatever reason, just being lazy and not particulary tech savvy. I haven't checked how to do it, and I have no doubt it's rather simple instructions but still. By my count there are 4-8 (Wario Lands, DKC Lands, and maybe Pokémon TCG and Kirby Breakout/other Kirby games) GB/GBC virtual Console games I'd like to get + 4 3DS games : OoT 3D, Link Between Worlds, and NES Remix Ultimate. DKC Returns, Yoshi's Wooly World, and maybe Bravely Second (if I ever finish the first) I'd get physical since I don't think I'd replay them necessarily and I'd just trade them in. Andrast posted:

There's some mechanics to the rpg layer but it kind of doesn't do anyting aside getting you some collectibles. Mostly it's there so you can get your Shantotto's meteor to kill 10 bosses in a row or something in the background of the rhythm game if you want to.

Oh that reminds me I also need to get more DLC for this game probably. So add that to the list for my 3DS ambitions of not hacking it.

Switch Sports play test only lets you select a randomized character. You can’t use Miis this weekend. You can’t actually play until 5 pm pst but you can look around the menus.

That seems kind of open-ended, so I'm assuming you're over-simplifying and there is a time limit on the books Federal law in the US protects most gift cards sold at face value from expiration for at least five years, but there are catches. There can still be fees for inactivity within that time period (after two years in Ohio, for example). But an eShop card can still be redeemed and spent on Switch games. What are the laws regarding existing balances related to services that end (if you can have money linked to your 3DS, but not your general Nintendo account), I have no clue. I don't think a download code would be subject to them though based on federal guidelines. quote:Additionally, the federal restrictions do not apply to certificates that are for a certain service or experience, such as a spa treatment, or solely for admission to an event or venue, such as an amusement park ticket, when such certificates are not issued in a specified amount. On the other hand, if a card for a service states a specified amount or specifies a monetary value, it is subject to the rules, unless other exemptions apply.

In Japan they added the GBA ports of the Final Fantasy games as well as a Chocobo spinoff game. So it's even sadder! Also, Sega didn't put out any of their GBA games on the service in NA/EU, while in Japan they added Sonic Advance 1-3, Chu Chu Rocket, Shining Soul 1-2 and Shining Force Willo567 fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Feb 18, 2022 |

ExcessBLarg! posted:It would be weird to have an opinion on the closure of the 3DS eShop and not the Wii U eShop simply because you only owned one of the two systems. More generally, it's possible to be unhappy with the decision without being personally affected by it. Heck, plenty of folks were rightfully mad when Nintendo would release a port of a Wii U game on switch and temporarily take it off the Wii U eshop without warning. That poo poo sucked!

If you've never played Pandora's Tower, get it now on wiiu eshop for $20. It's a wii game (part of project rainfall) so you need to use the wiimote and nunchuk. Great 3D Zelda style dungeons, then you go home to your body horror waifu. Very good game, and physical copies are raising in price. Only issue is a know bug that occurs when you're about 85% through the game, where it fails to load a level and freezes the console. But there are fixes for it, so don't panic

Thankfully the game is so weird in general that a lot of the weirder stuff falls through the cracks. Probably also helps that its status as "niche weird RPG with heart" has been kinda overtaken by Undertale at this point.

There's a real good XCOM2 LP going on right now, too, if you're kinda interested but can't afford the time/money or are still on the fence about the gameplay. It's the kind of game where it's okay if some things are spoiled a little since you're expected to do replays. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3987940&pagenumber=1&perpage=40

I keep getting communication errors before the sport starts. The music at the Spocco Square menu is like Wii sports with a bunch of caffeine. Every time it has attempted to load the sword fighting game from random.

It is working now. The sword fighting game is fun. If you try to take two players online from one system, it lets one of you play vs an opponent. Not both at least in that sport.
