Best Nintendo 3DS Games To Buy Before The eShop Closes
Nintendo made a controversial decision last week to shut down the 3DS eShop and Wii U eShop for good come March 2023, meaning players now only have a finite amount of time to buy certain games before they disappear for good. While physical copies of games will still be available for purchase from resellers, there’s a large amount of downloadable-only games that won’t be available in any form post-shutdown. Adding funds to the shop will no longer be possible as soon as May this year, so for people who want downloadable games from the system’s collection, they’ll have to act fast in order to pick up some titles.
Although support for games like Pokémon Bank will continue following the 3DS store's closure, there are many titles that are worth buying that will be gone forever. The 3DS eShop has a lower quality of titles overall than its full physical releases but that doesn’t mean that the history of the platform should be forgotten. It’s a bit of a challenge to find games on the system, however, and the interface for the eShop is somewhat cumbersome to sift through.

Even with the Nintendo Switch outselling the 3DS and having more software available, there’s a long list of both 3DS and DSiWare that will cease to be purchasable that system owners should definitely pick up before it’s too late.
