Catch these 3DS and Wii U eshop games before it’s too late

For all the good that Nintendo brings into the world with its wonderful creations, it’s clear there are still some areas where the company could be doing better. One crucial area where the company has failed for as long as it’s been a household name is continuing access to legacy games. Since the NES was dropped in favor of the SNES, Nintendo fans have had to hold onto old hardware if they wanted to keep playing their favorite games from the previous generation. It hasn’t always tripped up with this as anyone who kept playing their OG copy of Tetris on the Game Boy Advance SP can attest to. But with the advent of digital marketplaces, the company has found new and exciting ways to keep people from buying and playing games from old consoles.

Nintendo giveth and Nintendo taketh away. It’s a cycle as dependable as the golden sun. We did this a few years ago with the closure of WiiWare and the original Virtual Console. That was pretty devastating for me, and it’s going to be just as hard on March 27 when Nintendo shuts down the 3DS and Wii U branches of the eShop. While the store will stick around to let people download games they’ve already bought, anyone with a 3DS and Wii U still kicking won’t be able to purchase games for their system after Monday.

With that in mind, I asked the writers at Destructoid for their recommendations for last minutes eShop purchases. And I’m going to start this list off with a title that’s near and dear to my heart.

In a world where Pocket Card Jockey wasn’t ported to Apple Arcade, that would obviously be my pick for this list. With that game safe and sound—for now—I can turn my attention to another title that was criminally overlooked on the 3DS. Siesta Fiesta is a joyful brick-breaker
