It warms my heart that as generations move on, there’s new consoles of people’s childhood. The Gamecube is to her as the NES was to me. It actually kinda blows my mind that for a lot of people, their first games were in 3D. Anyways, love the video. Just beat Superstar Saga recently for the first time.
Same here, I mean technically my first console was Atari 2600 LOL. But never really got into those games. Wasn't until we got an NES in 1988. That i really got into video games
@@gregsretromusicchannel7000 Haha, I feel you on that. I know the Atari 2600 has its place in history… but even back in the day I was pretty underwhelmed by those games. I think if I had played it during the 70s, I would have been warmer to those games. But by the 80s, arcades had advanced so much that the gap was too great to ignore. Like so many people, when I first booted up Super Mario, it was life changing. The kinetic energy alone made it stand apart. Those single screen games just feel… limited. Ironically enough, now I enjoy one screen games (sorry for the tangent).
@@leeartlee915 Ore for me the "life changer" was The Legend of Zelda. Showing that Video games could be more than just high scores & beating the timer to end of the level. Showing that games could be epic adventures. With huge (for the time) worlds to explore
@@gregsretromusicchannel7000 Zelda had a big impact on me too but it came into my house a little later on. By the time we got Zelda, I was neck deep in NES games. But it was so unusual as you say in its design.
@@leeartlee915 I was lucky i guess then. We Got Zelda early in 1988. It was one of the first games we actually owned & weren't just renting. I had the same problem though with later games like Secret of Mana. Didn't play that when it came out in 93. Had so many Zelda, FF, Dragon Quest/Warrior, Metroid & other games to play. Didn't actually get to Secret of Mana until emulation in the late 90s-early 200os
I've been collecting Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, DS and 3DS games lately! Sometimes I'll pick up the odd Wii or Wii U game, but I'm loving the Nintendo handhelds and all the games I missed out on growing up!
Love these collection videos. A piece of advice from me: make sure you go to Nintendos online store and buy back up batteries for your 3ds. Before they are not avaliable anymore. I just recently picked up 2 for myself. So when your battery stops holding a proper charge you can change it and continue to have fun with your system.
I think it's pretty common to, when you become a working adult, buy a bunch of games or systems you wanted when you were a kid/teenager but couldn't at the time. That's how I ended up buying an Atari Lynx and Sega Genesis when I was in my early/mid-20's. And I don't regret it lol
Great collection, do remember some of these games have dlc that will be unavailable in the future, most notably Fire Emblem Awakening, the game's dlc is only available at a certain point in the story and getting all of it will also cost quite a bit. Allow me to recommend the Ace Attorney games that are still stuck in the 3DS as well as Tales of the Abyss, don't know if you're into JRPGs like those though.
@@sahelebrahimal-wasti4829 yes you will but when your system dies the dlc does with it once the Nintendo 3ds servers are shut down. We don’t know when that is going to be.
@@ethanscott206 I've thought about getting them but then I realized you can get those games on mobile devices and I'm willing to bet those games will eventually come to modern platforms in the form of another collection.
i highly recommend the Pokémon Ranger - Shadows of Almia game! it's the first pokémon game i ever played and i bought it again a couple days ago. absolutely love it, still, and it's a little different than what you would expect from a Pokemon game!
I love the Yo Kai Watch series. I have 4 of the games in my collection. I’m a physical collector but the YKW games are known to have insane prices. When I bought YKW3 back in 2020 I paid nearly 90 USD. And if you’re interested in buying the spinoff games, Yo Kai Watch Blasters, I’d say digital is the way to go. Blasters is being sold on Amazon for over 100 USD last time I checked
I still use my 3ds almost everyday, my personal favorite is the yo-kai watch series. I understand why there shutting down the eshop, but It's still very upsetting. Also those are some really good game choices! (:
I bought FE Awakening during the initial pandemic and wound up loving it. If your into it I would suggest Echoes:Shadows of Valentia, which I’m currently playing through right now.
It's really nice seeing those seals! Here in Aus/NZ we don't get them sealed, so having the case scratched up is unfortunately more common when buying nowadays. I'd suggest giving Yo-Kai Watch and Fire Emblem a play before the Eshop closes, so you can see if you like them or not. The third route of Fire Emblem Fates is very expensive for a physical copy. Same with the "third version" of Yo-Kai Watch 2 and Yo-Kai Watch 3. Those all cost such ridiculous amounts getting them digitally is pretty much the only practical option.
@Ozan Ercan Not sure, it was in the 3DS era they started not sealing them I think. Aside from some third party games. It's the same with the switch which is quite annoying. Occasionally I buy a US game, and its much nicer coming in a seal and knowing it won't be scratched from being on the shelf or tossed around in the mail.
some interesting 3ds games that u may want to pick: -Yokai Watch 3: It came out practically at the same time that the switch did so nobody really cared about it, and now a physical copy costs around 150€ lol (but you can still get the digital version for like 20€) -Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance 3D: Okay, I'm gonna be honest the controls are a nightmare if u're playing on an old 3ds/2ds without the circle pad pro. + it relays waaaaay too much on stories of older games but it's still fun to play. (And I believe it was a cartridge excluse only) -Kid Icarus Uprising: The latest game of this franchise that spent over a decade without even been talked about. Gameplay is fun + u can control the camera on old 3ds with the touchscreen (not the best, but does it's job well) -Resident Evil Revelations: This game was originally develoved for the 3ds in its early years and its still looks better than others that came later. (But still, u may want to use a circle pad pro or a new 3ds because the camera is not ideal) -Kirby's Epic Yarn: Came when the switch was released so again it it not that well known. -Dragon Quest 9: Released exclusively on Japan for the 3ds and for the rest of countries in other platforms. However people say that this version has a lot of differences with the game in other platforms. (Remember that the 3ds is region locked, so u will need either a hacked 3ds or a japanese one) Also, New 3ds exclusives (which i haven't tried cause i have an old 2ds but they look good): -Xenoblade Chronicles 3d: A remaster(? of the wii clasic for the handheld -Fire Emblem Warriors: Basically Hyrule Warriors but with FE characters -Minecraft 3d: idk its so curious that this got released for the 3ds All these New 3ds exclusives got versions on the switch in case anyone wants to try them but has an old 3ds.
FE Awakening was my first FE game and it's a GREAT one. If you enjoy it, you should definitely try all the FE Fates games. While it's a common opinion that the story isn't as good as Awakening, I think the game makes up for it with a diverse cast of characters, three routes to play (provided you get Revelation through digital download before the eShop closes), and overall enhanced features (like the main realm overworld and online battles to get character skills).
My Fave 3DS games are.. (In no particular order) Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Ever Oasis, Metroid: Samus Returns, Dragon Quest 7, Dragon Quest 8, the 3 Mario & Luigi games, Superstar Saga, Paper Jam & Dream Team. Plus Etrian Odyssey 1 & 2 remakes, Etrian Odyssey 4 & Etrian Odyssey Nexus
Good stuff, some recommendations to look out for would Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology, Dragon Quest 8, Rhythm Thief, and all Shin Megami Tensei games or really any Atlus game. These games can be expensive but in case you see for a good price below what they go for now definitely consider getting them. Superstar Saga is my favorite Mario RPG, the adventure and humor is so good imo. I do have some games that have a lot of value which can been seen in my recent video if your interested. Looking forward to your future pickups/uploads. Recently subbed and congrats on 2k!
Congrats on the channel growth - it's well deserved! Your content is great, and you have such a calm style compared to all the in-your-face RUclipsrs out there. Keep it up!
I’m doing both, in a way, we still have a year to get digital games, but physical games are climbing in price the more time passes so it’s a better idea to focus on physical and look into digital sales for me
Sometimes having physical games is better but having an online store is great specially if there are new games. Nice video btw. Hope we can see a gameplay of yoyr fav games
Layton Miracle Mask is an absolute banger of a game!! I’m British, and the general style of that game really resonated with me on a cultural level. That probably sounds a little strange, especially since it was made by a group of people from Japan, but yeah. I absolutely loved it.
Physical 3DS recommendations (besides the obvious Marios and Zeldas): Shovel Knight Kirby Robobot Luigis Mansion (1) Metroid II NES Remix Radiant Historia
I would say some of my top 3DS games are Ever Oasis, Monster Hunter Stories, Fantasy Life, and the Etrian Odyssey games. The ones you picked up are some nice ones though, I always love any of the Fire Emblem games.
@@QueenViolet8maybe Nintendo is planning new handheld only hardware? But only to play digital games and every games from gameboy/gba/ds/3ds? Nintendo is weird sometimes they often do something left field lol
This was such a nice video! I was so glad to see Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns because I'm such a big HM/SoS nerd. (Btw, Trio of Towns is very very good and imo a return to form after the HM/SoS series has struggled to find an identity in the late DS era. I also think that if you can get a digital copy of Story of Seasons, it's really worth it too. Trio of Towns improves on it a lot but it's still a good game and worth to play on its own). Something I want to say though (and I don't mean to be rude in correcting you on this), but I believe HomeTown Story wasn't developed by the same people that developed Harvest Moon, but rather published by the same people. The Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games afaik are developed by Marvelous Entertainment, and localized/published in the US by Natsume. Natsume started developing their own series called Harvest Moon after Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, which afaik is the last official, Marvelous developed Harvest Moon game under that title. However, I could very well be wrong on the thing with Hometown Story so I'm sorry if I am! (And sorry if you knew all this already!) Also, have you played any of the other Professor Layton games? I've considered getting into the series for a while, and was wondering if you could give a recommendations for anyone that's new. Anyway, thank you for this video and for sharing the games that you've been buying. You've definitely highlighted some games I'd like to get my hands on! As for recommendations, if you don't have Fantasy Life or Ever Oasis already, I'd recommend those. Granted, I haven't played Ever Oasis myself but that game is very highly praised afaik. Fantasy Life is by far my favorite game for the 3DS, as it does a wonderful job of combining lifesim elements with RPG elements. Not to mention, you could beat the game as a tailor, alchemist, carpenter, etc. You can switch between those professions at any time without losing skills, which makes the game feel very fresh. I could go on and on, but if it isn't on your radar already, I'd recommend picking it up!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I own several of the ones you've mentioned HM, Fantasy Life, Hometown Story. I do have the first Story of Seasons but never beat it. You mentioned trio of towns improves on the first one, would you say it's worth getting at full price digitally, wait for a sale? Or try to find a physical copy? Tia
@@ShoppingAttic I’d say it’s worth the full price for all the content you are getting. I’d also recommend the paid dlc, because I remember it being quite cheap and it adds quite a lot too.
Thank you so much for letting me know about Hometown Story and sorry for my mistake! I’m only just now getting into the Professor Layton games, but the ones on the DS are not too expensive so that’s where I recommend starting☺️ Also, thank you so much for all those awesome recommendations! Definitely added on my list!
That's a good start. I recommend you to pick up Paper Mario Sticker Star, there's a little bit of hate on that game but I still enjoyed it. Also the 1st and 2nd part of Luigis Mansion (a must have), New Super Mario Bros 2, Mario 3D Land and one of my top zelda games A link Between Worlds 😍. Congrats on your channel, great content, I'll be waiting for part 2
I have all of those games and love them to pieces! I don’t get the hate on Paper Mario Sticker Star, to me, it was an absolute joy to play when I was younger and I still love it to this day!
Good thing I bought physical copies of Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario Maker, and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS when Walmart and GameStop had them for $20 each last year when I saw them. It sucks that the end of the Wii U and 3DS Eshops has driven prices of physical copies way up. I would love if you did a part 2 of 3DS Games I bought Before the Eshop Shuts Down, a digital version and if you buy enough for a Wii U video. I am happy I subscribed to you and was a part of you getting into 2K subscribers territory.
I have all those games! Bought them years ago and still love them to this day! The eshop closing feels like a part of my childhood is closing. I will most definitely be making more parts for both digital and physical 3ds games as well as a wii u version☺️ Thank you so much for helping me hit milestones as well!☺️
Any games you have acquired that has DLC, ya better jump on that right now before the shutdown. Same with game patch updates if ya plan to pick up those games later on. All the FE Games DLC on 3DS better be on your SD card before the shop shutdowns. Because there was never a definitive version of any of them re-released with all the DLC content on the cart. Then GL getting a hold of a FE14 Special Edition cart, as that was supposed to be regular retail game before Nintendo thought it would be a cute and funny idea to dice it up and sell ya the game in piece meal via the eshop for the other thirds. Then remember to Spotpass all the games that have it, as we don't know how much longer Spotpass shall be active once that is shutdown with the game servers.
Same here. I started buying so many games as I'm working right now. When I was a child and teenager, I couldn't get so many games, I only asked my parents to buy me pokemon games as it's my fav franchise ever. Recently I started looking for 3Ds games because I love that platform. I got ocarina of time, Majora's mask and A link between worlds last month to get into Zelda world, i only played Oracle of seasons and didn't like it since I couldn't save my file, never, so i didn't finish it and literally reject any Zelda stuff. I would recommend kid Icarus, that game look amazing and want to get it. It's the time to buy 3Ds games!!
Same here! I couldn’t buy as many when I was younger but now that I’m working, I’m buying as many as possible before prices go up even more! Thank you for the recommendation!☺️
Great games! Definitely interested in video 2. Gotta recommend Picross 3d Round 2. Fantastic game. Physical is PAL/EU only, but one of my absolute favourites
Your channel was in my recommendations. Have watched several of your videos. I agree with the comment below. I really like your calm clear style. Subbed. Keep the great content coming.
I’m sure you’re aware, but sega has a ton of there 3ds games on sale in the eshop right now. And a lot of these games have popped in price physically, so to get em for $7-10 is great. Top two recommends would be Rhythm Thief and Radiant Historia. Then some from the SMT line, Stella glow, 7th dragon Code and the Persona Qs. Good luck on your hunt whether digital or physical and most of all enjoy the games!
Im also slowly collecting some 3ds games. As well as wii u before the shop closes. Im also Canadian so I get the same type of french thing on my game covers.
Hello, first time in your channel and beside the well presented games I must say: was preparing dinner and I was captivated your soft spoken voice and the jazzy background music. Very calming experience, you should work with that voice of yours.
I just got town hero game also, I couldnt pass it up. I also just got Pokemon Moon but I havnt gotten the ultra games. I hope they go down in price and that the prices right now are just inflated due to the eshop closing. I just wated to tell you that the Shin Magami games are on sale in the eshop right now along with Etrian Odysse, Radiant History, and my favorite Stellaglow. Great prices until 04/17 in the United States.
I recently went and bought Yo Kai watch, A Link Between worlds, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Codename STEAM. I am hoping to still pick up Ever Oasis, Majoras Mask and perhaps a few more titles I’ve always wanted during the 3ds lifecycle
I decided to get both Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon because I thought it was cool how you can catch every legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beast (up to Gen 7) between them. But you have to trade with yourself or use Pokémon Bank to get the ones like Giratina that require you to have two version-exclusive Pokémon in your party. Omega Ruby is one of my favourite Pokémon games ever. I've had it since it first came out, but I recently bought Alpha Sapphire as well. I think the fact that there's a different villanous team in each version makes playing both worthwhile.
My thoughts exactly. Whether I buy the digital games now or the day before the closure, they'll still be there and they'll still be the same price. Now physical games? I'm making an extra effort to pick those up sooner rather than later. Luckily, I started picking up games I wanted tail-end of 2020 and all through 2021. So when the eShop closure got announced, I already have most of my wishlist secured. This year is just clean up. (I also prioritized Zelda games too. Those were the first games I picked up. Lol)
I highly recommend Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger, is really cool. Although, Dead-Heat Breakers is better as an introductory game, even though it was the last one.
I had 3ds for quite some time, almost never used 3d effect for eye strain and more problematic could not find any games I like .. At best they were midiocre
I honestly am hoping they’ll make digital releases of older Pokémon games onto the Switch.. part of me wants to invest in a 3DS for that reason but I haven’t..
Just bought a wii u and new 2ds xl again once I heard the shop was closing. I love both systems so collecting for them again will be fun. Sad thing is that I already had like 50 games per system before I sold both collections back in 2020. Regrets lol
I own both 3ds titles but if I had to pick between the 2, super mystery dungeon is definitely the better buy. If you don't have it yet, you should definitely work towards that. :)
I downloaded the games and backed them up on my PC just in case. I got the biggest memory card I could possibly get for the 3ds. Fyi you're beautiful 🌹
Hey, Leika. First - yes, part 2, plz (maybe include digital-only ones as well?)! Second - nice vid, always love videos showing any kinda love for consoles such as "games that are special time" or this video. Unfortunately, I have given my New 3DS XL way too little love since Spring 2016, even after I softmodded mine just days before X-mas 2020 when I suddenly thought about the fact I had one at all. At no fault of this amazing system that also is special because of its 3D, it's just that giving love to all things Nintendo/PlayStation/Sega/Xbox (SNES/Genesis, onwards) is TOUGH :(... as well as wonderful. :)))) I have only played a couple of 3rd party games, and some older Super Mario Bros.'s, so I can't recommend a whole lot, even if MGS 3: Snake Eater, Ridge Racer 3D and RE: Revelations were neat experiences in their genres respectively (both in general and 3D-wise).
Great picks you made. I love Fire Emblem Awakening and the Mario & Luigi games on the 3DS are awesome! You could also check out Fire Emblem Fates, the complete game with all 3 campaigns will be hard to get after the shop closes.
This was such a lovely video!☁️☀️💕 I'm so happy RUclips recommended it to me!☺️ As your friendly neighborhood Fire Emblem elitist (I come in peace🤗) a warm welcome to the community!!❤️ Awakening is a great place to start and I hope it will inspire you to try the other games, as well! (Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is another great beginner friendly Fire Emblem game on the 3DS!) Also, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is one of my all-time favorite games and you are in for such a treat!!😭❤️🔥👊🏻 (and/or possible heartbreak👀)
You should definitely try out WarioWare Gold! It’s an amazing game and it’s so easy because all you have to do is complete microgames that lasts for only 3 seconds. That game was a huge blast for me to play not only because of the gameplay, but the fully spoken dialogue from the characters!
@@Leikavee Oh! And there are alarm clocks as souvenirs that you can use in WarioWare Gold too because when I tried them out for the first time, I said “Wow! These function like actual alarm clocks for other people.” So I’m really glad that people can use the alarm clocks in-game now.
Yo-kai Watch 1 pales in comparison to the 2nd and 3rd games but I still love it. The 3rd game is like 100 dollars physical though (thank god I got a copy from gamestop).
@@Leikavee I read good reviews about ever oasis it's an action RPG and bit of town management, I'm not to keen on the town management side of this but after playing dragon quest builders 2 it did tempted me to buy it now BUT dragon quest builders 2 takes a lot of time already 😅
If you like the Yokai Watch game, you'll probably want to buy one of the 2nd ones as well! There are 3 versions... I bought myself Bony Spirits, but I'm not going to buy all versions. And also, get Yokai Watch 3 digital. It's probably about the only way you'll ever play that game. It had a very limited print run!
Bought the second one since so many people were recommending it! Will get Yokai Watch 3 digital for sure, ain’t no way I’m finding a physical copy for a good price😅
SMT IV va te coûter cher en cartouche. Si tu veux vraiment jouer le jeux, l'acheter digitalement est probablement la meilleure option. Salutations de Belgique 🇧🇪
Very good games. I recommend also Layton vs Ace Attorney and Yo kai watch 2 psychic specters(the third version of Yo kai watch 2); they are very good too.
That green/blue sticker on right bottom corner means it is the World version, not PAL, not JP, not NTSC (for US/Americas). It works for the US consoles, as it has US cartridge in it… at least it’s what I’ve experience buying a few of those since it is cheaper.
I've been playing through the Professor Layton series and I'd recommend you play Curious Village first. Miracle Mask is the 2nd of the Prequel trilogy but Curious Village is the first of the original trilogy and the first overall.
@@Leikavee If you like them, I'd recommend hunting down the rest of the DS/3DS ones. Azran Legacy and the Phoenix Wright crossover are really up there in price so get them off the eShop. There is a Switch Layton game but its not great
Random question do you know how to upgrade your 3ds storage without losing anything ? I have a 4gb but I recently bought a 32gb but I’m not sure how to do it exactly I don’t want to lose any eshop games I bought or anything like that.
Great video!! Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga is the BEST Mario and Luigi game!! I don’t care what anybody says! I haven’t really played many fire emblem games so let me know how FE Awakening is!! Pokémon is so fickle. I loved the older ones on GameBoy and GBA, fell off when the DS ones came out, played X, and didn’t play anything after that. So it’s cool to see that you wanna play like all the different versions on 3DS haha
Pokemon on DS or 3DS just gives me such a nostalgic feel and I love them! Mario and Luigi games are so much fun, I had never played Superstar Saga so I’m super pumped to start it!
It warms my heart that as generations move on, there’s new consoles of people’s childhood. The Gamecube is to her as the NES was to me.

@@ethanscott206 I've thought about getting them but then I realized you can get those games on mobile devices and I'm willing to bet those games will eventually come to modern platforms in the form of another collection.

Omg, I’m so sorry, I’ll change his angle next time🤣
Awesome pickups! Get those 3DS games now!
Wuuuuuut? Retrorick paid a visit? Awesome!
I bought FE Awakening during the initial pandemic and wound up loving it. If your into it I would suggest Echoes:Shadows of Valentia, which I’m currently playing through right now.
Thank you for the recommendation!
YES echoes is one of my favorites.
Get Fire Emblem Birthright and Shadows of Valencia also don’t forget the dlc for the rpgs 😊
It's really nice seeing those seals! Here in Aus/NZ we don't get them sealed, so having the case scratched up is unfortunately more common when buying nowadays.

-Kid Icarus Uprising: The latest game of this franchise that spent over a decade without even been talked about. Gameplay is fun + u can control the camera on old 3ds with the touchscreen (not the best, but does it's job well)
-Resident Evil Revelations: This game was originally develoved for the 3ds in its early years and its still looks better than others that came later. (But still, u may want to use a circle pad pro or a new 3ds because the camera is not ideal)
-Kirby's Epic Yarn: Came when the switch was released so again it it not that well known.
-Dragon Quest 9: Released exclusively on Japan for the 3ds and for the rest of countries in other platforms. However people say that this version has a lot of differences with the game in other platforms. (Remember that the 3ds is region locked, so u will need either a hacked 3ds or a japanese one)
Also, New 3ds exclusives (which i haven't tried cause i have an old 2ds but they look good):
-Xenoblade Chronicles 3d: A remaster(? of the wii clasic for the handheld
-Fire Emblem Warriors: Basically Hyrule Warriors but with FE characters
-Minecraft 3d: idk its so curious that this got released for the 3ds
All these New 3ds exclusives got versions on the switch in case anyone wants to try them but has an old 3ds.
FE Awakening was my first FE game and it's a GREAT one. If you enjoy it, you should definitely try all the FE Fates games. While it's a common opinion that the story isn't as good as Awakening, I think the game makes up for it with a diverse cast of characters, three routes to play (provided you get Revelation through digital download before the eShop closes), and overall enhanced features (like the main realm overworld and online battles to get character skills).
Another good Story of Seasons game to look out for, that hasn’t skyrocketed in price, is Return to PopoloCrois.
Thank you so much for the recommendation! I managed to pick it up, it looks so much fun!
My Fave 3DS games are.. (In no particular order) Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Ever Oasis,
Metroid: Samus Returns, Dragon Quest 7, Dragon Quest 8, the 3 Mario & Luigi games, Superstar Saga, Paper Jam & Dream Team.
Plus Etrian Odyssey 1 & 2 remakes, Etrian Odyssey 4 & Etrian Odyssey Nexus
Good stuff, some recommendations to look out for would Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology, Dragon Quest 8, Rhythm Thief, and all Shin Megami Tensei games or really any Atlus game. These games can be expensive but in case you see for a good price below what they go for now definitely consider getting them. Superstar Saga is my favorite Mario RPG, the adventure and humor is so good imo.
I do have some games that have a lot of value which can been seen in my recent video if your interested.
Looking forward to your future pickups/uploads. Recently subbed and congrats on 2k!
Thank you so much and thank you for such awesome recommendations as well!☺️
Congrats on the channel growth - it's well deserved! Your content is great, and you have such a calm style compared to all the in-your-face RUclipsrs out there. Keep it up!
Thank you so so much!☺️
are you guys waiting for eShop sales for the 3DS? I am checking the eShop everyday lol.
I started binge buying 3DS games when I found out the e-shop was closing. There's also a lot of good DSi and Gameboy games in the e-shop!
Hatsune Project Mirai DX is surprisingly beefy in content.
Fire emblem is fantastic as is the other 2 on 3ds enjoy!
Thank you!☺️
All really good pickups 🙌🏼. Check out Ever Oasis on the 3ds such a great game. Reminds me of a mix between animal crossings and Zelda
Yeah, defs a good idea to get those physical games first. I'm doing likewise with WiiU games.
I’m doing both, in a way, we still have a year to get digital games, but physical games are climbing in price the more time passes so it’s a better idea to focus on physical and look into digital sales for me
I think you should check the virtual console in the eShop !
Sometimes having physical games is better but having an online store is great specially if there are new games.
Nice video btw. Hope we can see a gameplay of yoyr fav games
Layton Miracle Mask is an absolute banger of a game!! I’m British, and the general style of that game really resonated with me on a cultural level. That probably sounds a little strange, especially since it was made by a group of people from Japan, but yeah. I absolutely loved it.
I'm excited to see more info about the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake, and Dragon Quest 12!
Physical 3DS recommendations (besides the obvious Marios and Zeldas):
Shovel Knight
Kirby Robobot
Luigis Mansion (1)
Metroid II
NES Remix
Radiant Historia
Thank you so much for the recommendations! Luigi’s Mansion is such a great gem on the 3DS, I absolutely love it!
I would say some of my top 3DS games are Ever Oasis, Monster Hunter Stories, Fantasy Life, and the Etrian Odyssey games. The ones you picked up are some nice ones though, I always love any of the Fire Emblem games.
Nintendo has amazing handheld library and I wish Nintendo could add gameboy/gba/ds/3ds games to the Switch someday.
I wish someone would make a device so you could clip it on you Switch and play ds and 3ds games like they did for the GameCube 😎
@@QueenViolet8maybe Nintendo is planning new handheld only hardware? But only to play digital games and every games from gameboy/gba/ds/3ds? Nintendo is weird sometimes they often do something left field lol
Ever Oasis is a must buy if you liked the Zelda remakes.
This was such a nice video! I was so glad to see Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns because I'm such a big HM/SoS nerd. (Btw, Trio of Towns is very very good and imo a return to form after the HM/SoS series has struggled to find an identity in the late DS era. I also think that if you can get a digital copy of Story of Seasons, it's really worth it too. Trio of Towns improves on it a lot but it's still a good game and worth to play on its own).
Something I want to say though (and I don't mean to be rude in correcting you on this), but I believe HomeTown Story wasn't developed by the same people that developed Harvest Moon, but rather published by the same people. The Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games afaik are developed by Marvelous Entertainment, and localized/published in the US by Natsume. Natsume started developing their own series called Harvest Moon after Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, which afaik is the last official, Marvelous developed Harvest Moon game under that title. However, I could very well be wrong on the thing with Hometown Story so I'm sorry if I am! (And sorry if you knew all this already!)
Also, have you played any of the other Professor Layton games? I've considered getting into the series for a while, and was wondering if you could give a recommendations for anyone that's new. Anyway, thank you for this video and for sharing the games that you've been buying. You've definitely highlighted some games I'd like to get my hands on!
As for recommendations, if you don't have Fantasy Life or Ever Oasis already, I'd recommend those. Granted, I haven't played Ever Oasis myself but that game is very highly praised afaik. Fantasy Life is by far my favorite game for the 3DS, as it does a wonderful job of combining lifesim elements with RPG elements. Not to mention, you could beat the game as a tailor, alchemist, carpenter, etc. You can switch between those professions at any time without losing skills, which makes the game feel very fresh. I could go on and on, but if it isn't on your radar already, I'd recommend picking it up!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I own several of the ones you've mentioned HM, Fantasy Life, Hometown Story. I do have the first Story of Seasons but never beat it. You mentioned trio of towns improves on the first one, would you say it's worth getting at full price digitally, wait for a sale? Or try to find a physical copy? Tia
@@ShoppingAttic I’d say it’s worth the full price for all the content you are getting. I’d also recommend the paid dlc, because I remember it being quite cheap and it adds quite a lot too.
Thank you so much for letting me know about Hometown Story and sorry for my mistake! I’m only just now getting into the Professor Layton games, but the ones on the DS are not too expensive so that’s where I recommend starting☺️ Also, thank you so much for all those awesome recommendations! Definitely added on my list!
@@Leikavee no need to apologize! The Natsume/Marvelous stuff is very confusing so I completely get it! Thanks for the recommendations!
That's a good start. I recommend you to pick up Paper Mario Sticker Star, there's a little bit of hate on that game but I still enjoyed it. Also the 1st and 2nd part of Luigis Mansion (a must have), New Super Mario Bros 2, Mario 3D Land and one of my top zelda games A link Between Worlds 😍. Congrats on your channel, great content, I'll be waiting for part 2
I have all of those games and love them to pieces! I don’t get the hate on Paper Mario Sticker Star, to me, it was an absolute joy to play when I was younger and I still love it to this day!
Good thing I bought physical copies of Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario Maker, and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS when Walmart and GameStop had them for $20 each last year when I saw them. It sucks that the end of the Wii U and 3DS Eshops has driven prices of physical copies way up. I would love if you did a part 2 of 3DS Games I bought Before the Eshop Shuts Down, a digital version and if you buy enough for a Wii U video.
I am happy I subscribed to you and was a part of you getting into 2K subscribers territory.
I have all those games! Bought them years ago and still love them to this day! The eshop closing feels like a part of my childhood is closing. I will most definitely be making more parts for both digital and physical 3ds games as well as a wii u version☺️ Thank you so much for helping me hit milestones as well!☺️
Any games you have acquired that has DLC, ya better jump on that right now before the shutdown. Same with game patch updates if ya plan to pick up those games later on. All the FE Games DLC on 3DS better be on your SD card before the shop shutdowns. Because there was never a definitive version of any of them re-released with all the DLC content on the cart. Then GL getting a hold of a FE14 Special Edition cart, as that was supposed to be regular retail game before Nintendo thought it would be a cute and funny idea to dice it up and sell ya the game in piece meal via the eshop for the other thirds. Then remember to Spotpass all the games that have it, as we don't know how much longer Spotpass shall be active once that is shutdown with the game servers.
Same here. I started buying so many games as I'm working right now. When I was a child and teenager, I couldn't get so many games, I only asked my parents to buy me pokemon games as it's my fav franchise ever.
Recently I started looking for 3Ds games because I love that platform. I got ocarina of time, Majora's mask and A link between worlds last month to get into Zelda world, i only played Oracle of seasons and didn't like it since I couldn't save my file, never, so i didn't finish it and literally reject any Zelda stuff.
I would recommend kid Icarus, that game look amazing and want to get it.
It's the time to buy 3Ds games!!
Same here! I couldn’t buy as many when I was younger but now that I’m working, I’m buying as many as possible before prices go up even more! Thank you for the recommendation!☺️
Glad you were you get your hands on those it's so wild how the prices are rising for older or used titles hello 💟your collection it's awsome.
Thank you!☺️ & yes, the prices rising is insane!
Great games! Definitely interested in video 2. Gotta recommend Picross 3d Round 2. Fantastic game. Physical is PAL/EU only, but one of my absolute favourites
Your channel was in my recommendations. Have watched several of your videos. I agree with the comment below. I really like your calm clear style. Subbed. Keep the great content coming.
Thank you so much!☺️
I’m sure you’re aware, but sega has a ton of there 3ds games on sale in the eshop right now. And a lot of these games have popped in price physically, so to get em for $7-10 is great. Top two recommends would be Rhythm Thief and Radiant Historia. Then some from the SMT line, Stella glow, 7th dragon Code and the Persona Qs. Good luck on your hunt whether digital or physical and most of all enjoy the games!
Im also slowly collecting some 3ds games. As well as wii u before the shop closes. Im also Canadian so I get the same type of french thing on my game covers.
I got majoras mask digital before it shuts down 😉✌️
Hello, first time in your channel and beside the well presented games I must say: was preparing dinner and I was captivated your soft spoken voice and the jazzy background music. Very calming experience, you should work with that voice of yours.
I just got town hero game also, I couldnt pass it up. I also just got Pokemon Moon but I havnt gotten the ultra games. I hope they go down in price and that the prices right now are just inflated due to the eshop closing. I just wated to tell you that the Shin Magami games are on sale in the eshop right now along with Etrian Odysse, Radiant History, and my favorite Stellaglow. Great prices until 04/17 in the United States.
The most important in eshop is the colors 3d. I have extra 3ds xl just for colors3d only
I recently went and bought Yo Kai watch, A Link Between worlds, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Codename STEAM. I am hoping to still pick up Ever Oasis, Majoras Mask and perhaps a few more titles I’ve always wanted during the 3ds lifecycle
I decided to get both Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon because I thought it was cool how you can catch every legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beast (up to Gen 7) between them. But you have to trade with yourself or use Pokémon Bank to get the ones like Giratina that require you to have two version-exclusive Pokémon in your party.
Omega Ruby is one of my favourite Pokémon games ever. I've had it since it first came out, but I recently bought Alpha Sapphire as well. I think the fact that there's a different villanous team in each version makes playing both worthwhile.
Gal Galaxy Pain is super challenging. 1 of the hardest games I've ever played.
you should really play denpa men it’s an eshop exclusive and it’s so so much fun, i highly recommend it
Bought Majoras Mask Bravely Default Project X Zone 2 Animal Crossing and DQ 7 😀
My thoughts exactly. Whether I buy the digital games now or the day before the closure, they'll still be there and they'll still be the same price. Now physical games? I'm making an extra effort to pick those up sooner rather than later.
Luckily, I started picking up games I wanted tail-end of 2020 and all through 2021. So when the eShop closure got announced, I already have most of my wishlist secured. This year is just clean up. (I also prioritized Zelda games too. Those were the first games I picked up. Lol)
Fire Emblem Awakening is fantastic. My favorite game on the system. You should definitely look into FE Echoes Shadows of Valentia as well
I highly recommend Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger, is really cool.
Although, Dead-Heat Breakers is better as an introductory game, even though it was the last one.
I had 3ds for quite some time, almost never used 3d effect for eye strain and more problematic could not find any games I like .. At best they were midiocre
I honestly am hoping they’ll make digital releases of older Pokémon games onto the Switch.. part of me wants to invest in a 3DS for that reason but I haven’t..
Awaiting your yo-kai watch review I want you to explain what is going on with that series.
Just bought a wii u and new 2ds xl again once I heard the shop was closing. I love both systems so collecting for them again will be fun. Sad thing is that I already had like 50 games per system before I sold both collections back in 2020. Regrets lol
I never gave any of my games or consoles, even when I was younger, I canMt imagine how you feel! Luckily it’s not too late to get into them again!
you should play fire emblem awakening, it's absolutely worth it and i suggest you get fantasy life its really an underrated game
Snag Fantasy Life plus DLC from the eshop. You won’t regret it!!
I own both 3ds titles but if I had to pick between the 2, super mystery dungeon is definitely the better buy. If you don't have it yet, you should definitely work towards that. :)
Nice pickups! maybe once you've amassed some more games you could do a full collection video?
I have so many games and consoles, so I’m for sure down to do a collection video!
I downloaded the games and backed them up on my PC just in case. I got the biggest memory card I could possibly get for the 3ds. Fyi you're beautiful 🌹
Hey, Leika. First - yes, part 2, plz (maybe include digital-only ones as well?)!
Second - nice vid, always love videos showing any kinda love for consoles such as "games that are special time" or this video. Unfortunately, I have given my New 3DS XL way too little love since Spring 2016, even after I softmodded mine just days before X-mas 2020 when I suddenly thought about the fact I had one at all. At no fault of this amazing system that also is special because of its 3D, it's just that giving love to all things Nintendo/PlayStation/Sega/Xbox (SNES/Genesis, onwards) is TOUGH :(... as well as wonderful. :))))
I have only played a couple of 3rd party games, and some older Super Mario Bros.'s, so I can't recommend a whole lot, even if MGS 3: Snake Eater, Ridge Racer 3D and RE: Revelations were neat experiences in their genres respectively (both in general and 3D-wise).
Here's two suggestions I think are worth buying....... Ever oasis and final fantasy theatrythum. Both absolute gems n my opinion
I just picked up Final Fantasy Theatrhythm, thank you for recommending it!
I got near the end and i heard smt4, good game (haven't finished it) but also a bad game because I start fuming whenever I play the game.
I really love your videos Jess, and I would really like it if u bought a switch oled and done another unboxing video for us
May or may not have a video coming very very soon👀
@@Leikavee I can’t wait then I’m looking forward to all your content
Get SMT 4 apocalypse. It's much darker than the first one and it's improvement version of it.
Great picks you made. I love Fire Emblem Awakening and the Mario & Luigi games on the 3DS are awesome!
You could also check out Fire Emblem Fates, the complete game with all 3 campaigns will be hard to get after the shop closes.
Definitely get shin megami but also get xenoblade! All good games here 👍👍
This was such a lovely video!☁️☀️💕 I'm so happy RUclips recommended it to me!☺️ As your friendly neighborhood Fire Emblem elitist (I come in peace🤗) a warm welcome to the community!!❤️ Awakening is a great place to start and I hope it will inspire you to try the other games, as well! (Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is another great beginner friendly Fire Emblem game on the 3DS!)
Also, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is one of my all-time favorite games and you are in for such a treat!!😭❤️🔥👊🏻 (and/or possible heartbreak👀)
You should definitely try out WarioWare Gold! It’s an amazing game and it’s so easy because all you have to do is complete microgames that lasts for only 3 seconds. That game was a huge blast for me to play not only because of the gameplay, but the fully spoken dialogue from the characters!
I always wanted it when I was younger! This is a sign for me to get it then😆
@@Leikavee have you tried WarioWare Inc, WarioWare Twisted, and WarioWare Touched?
@@Leikavee Oh! And there are alarm clocks as souvenirs that you can use in WarioWare Gold too because when I tried them out for the first time, I said “Wow! These function like actual alarm clocks for other people.” So I’m really glad that people can use the alarm clocks in-game now.
Yo-kai Watch 1 pales in comparison to the 2nd and 3rd games but I still love it. The 3rd game is like 100 dollars physical though (thank god I got a copy from gamestop).
You should try dragonquest series 7 and 8 are on the 3ds they have the best story plots in jrpgs
All the Capcom games are on Sale Now so that means all the Monster Hunter and Ace Attorney are cheap😳😎
Dragon Ball Fusions was very unique.
Love the vibe of your videos. Hello from Australia
Thank you!☺️
Bravely default 1&2, 7th dragon VD something, Stella Glow and alliance alive (also on the switch) both final fantasy music games
Thank you for the recommendations!☺️
@@Leikavee I read good reviews about ever oasis it's an action RPG and bit of town management, I'm not to keen on the town management side of this but after playing dragon quest builders 2 it did tempted me to buy it now BUT dragon quest builders 2 takes a lot of time already 😅
im gonna wait and take advantage of digital sales, especially with 3rd party developers, these games gonna be cheap as chips before the eshop drops
Same here! For digital games, it’s a bit less stressful as we technically have a year so I’m for sure gonna take advantage of sales
If you like the Yokai Watch game, you'll probably want to buy one of the 2nd ones as well! There are 3 versions... I bought myself Bony Spirits, but I'm not going to buy all versions. And also, get Yokai Watch 3 digital. It's probably about the only way you'll ever play that game. It had a very limited print run!
Bought the second one since so many people were recommending it! Will get Yokai Watch 3 digital for sure, ain’t no way I’m finding a physical copy for a good price😅
SMT IV va te coûter cher en cartouche. Si tu veux vraiment jouer le jeux, l'acheter digitalement est probablement la meilleure option.
Salutations de Belgique 🇧🇪
J’ai réussi à le trouver pas trop cher, mais il y a d’autre jeux de Shin Megami Tensei que je vais acheter digital!
Very good games. I recommend also Layton vs Ace Attorney and Yo kai watch 2 psychic specters(the third version of Yo kai watch 2); they are very good too.
Thank you for the recommendations! Might be more digital pickups since the physical copies are so hard to find!
That green/blue sticker on right bottom corner means it is the World version, not PAL, not JP, not NTSC (for US/Americas). It works for the US consoles, as it has US cartridge in it… at least it’s what I’ve experience buying a few of those since it is cheaper.
Thank you for clarifying! And so long as they work with my consoles, I don’t mind it!
I've been playing through the Professor Layton series and I'd recommend you play Curious Village first. Miracle Mask is the 2nd of the Prequel trilogy but Curious Village is the first of the original trilogy and the first overall.
Thank you! I picked up the two other DS Professor Layton games as well!
@@Leikavee If you like them, I'd recommend hunting down the rest of the DS/3DS ones. Azran Legacy and the Phoenix Wright crossover are really up there in price so get them off the eShop. There is a Switch Layton game but its not great
That’s what I’ll do! Physical copy just seems to unrealistic but at least I can still pick them up digitally!
I bought the card B4 out lash, I'm good
I recommend
Super Mario 3D Land
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Pokemon X or Y
Ocarina of Time
Majora Mask
& A Link Between Worlds
I have all those games and they’re awesome!
Only game you need is monster Hunter 4 ultimate it's the only game on 3ds I find fun
You must be a huge Pokémon fan.
I recommend Xenoblade Chronicles 3D get that before it gets really rare trust me I’m gonna get my copy in a few days.
I snatched a copy! Thank you for the recommendation!☺️
stellaw glow.. fantasy life.. smt devil survivor overclock 1 & 2.. etrian odyssey iv.. persona q 1 & 2..
If you mod your 3ds it's like a whole new system.
Imagine having only one digital game/dlc (happy home paradise) lol
I just have a modded 3ds so I don’t have to worry 😂
Random question do you know how to upgrade your 3ds storage without losing anything ? I have a 4gb but I recently bought a 32gb but I’m not sure how to do it exactly I don’t want to lose any eshop games I bought or anything like that.
Great video!!
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga is the BEST Mario and Luigi game!! I don’t care what anybody says!
I haven’t really played many fire emblem games so let me know how FE Awakening is!!
Pokémon is so fickle. I loved the older ones on GameBoy and GBA, fell off when the DS ones came out, played X, and didn’t play anything after that. So it’s cool to see that you wanna play like all the different versions on 3DS haha
Pokemon on DS or 3DS just gives me such a nostalgic feel and I love them! Mario and Luigi games are so much fun, I had never played Superstar Saga so I’m super pumped to start it!
Great videoo and the 3ds si my favorito console
Attack of the Friday Monsters!!!
i can still buy physical games after the eshop closes though, right? they should work
You would think they would be making more money keeping the shop open for longer, Nintendo is so weird
