I really enjoyed hanging out with Scott for this hour listening to his knowledge and opinion of games. I think at some point in the past a video like this would have just been for archival purposes but now it’s full content
I think the 3DS/Wii U might be the last of Non-Corporate feeling eShops. Sad to see unique and friendly online stores become gone to a bland and corporate shop
You say that, but this was the corporate style for the time. I'm nostalgic for it right now too, but back then I was really put off by the bubbly, cuddly design they went with. It felt really fake.
@@radaf4429who knows, maybe the eshop for the switch’s successor will play dubstep in the background and the next generation would feel nostalgic for that
Scott's talk about savoring the weird games and announcements we get now because we'll be nostalgic for them soon was surprisingly profound. I'm already feeling nostalgic for when they announced Ultra Street Fighter II and Night Trap: 25th Anniversary Edition.
Its kinda crazy to think about since that still feels so recent but then you realize that was 2017/2018. Admittedly the pandemic may have affected that because we've maybe only hit 2021 or something
Nostalgia has lost its meaning when people claim they feel it for like a year ago. Having actual concrete memories of the year you are looking back to is the opposite of nostalgia, nostalgia is just hazy memories of a long time ago.
@@okagron Nostalgia is a vague word. It means different things to different people. Personally I interperit it as a "longing for a better past" usually through rose-tinted glasses, even if the memories aren't quite distant enough to be hazy yet.
Scott you probably won't see this, but you've gotten really good at doing these unscripted videos! I remember him saying it was a big goal of his to try and become a lot more natural without a script to lean on, and I'd say mission accomplished. These videos are a real delight! Keep up the good work❤
I really appreciate that Scott's censor noises for swear words aren't 20x the volume of the rest of the video. So many channels DESTROY my ears with that lol
Man, nostalgia is weird for me. I remember even just 3 years ago was way different. I havent really touched my switch for 2/3 years because I started playing PC, but now I started another run on Fire Emblem Three Houses and Im actually getting hours into my “new” switch that ive owned for nearly 2 years.
I still find it baffling that we never got Virtual Boy titles for the 3DS. It's the one system that would be able to actually emulate the 3D effect. I'm glad to see there's now homebrew that makes up for what the virtual console didn't have.
I remember buying a bunch of stuff on my 3DS years ago, loving every moment, trying demos and all Such a precious store now dead and buried. Thanks Nintendo
Long time Harvest Moon fan here, so I'll give the run down, you actually sort of got it pretty much on the head. Marvelous develops the series (for the sake of simplicity I'll call it "Farm Story" since that's what the Japanese series more or less translates to) and Natsume published the Farm Story games here as "Harvest Moon." After the first fully made for 3ds title, "Harvest Moon: A New Beginning," Marvelous decided every game in the Farm Story series would be handled by their in house localizer that they bought some time ago called Xseed. Xseed couldn't use the name "Harvest Moon" since the name is Natsume's property, so Xseed decided to call the series "Story of Seasons" in the west instead. Natsume lost a cash cow with that move so they decided to start making their own Harvest Moon games, playing off the legacy of the games they localized (but did not MAKE) to I won't say intentionally, but definitely unintentionally sucker people into buying because of the series name and nostalgia. Short version would be thus: Farm Story Series (Japan translated name, developed by Marveous) Harvest Moon (SNES) - Harvest Moon: A New Beginning (3DS) > Localizations of the Farm Story Series by Natsume Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley - Now (Harvest Moon: One World being the newest release) > NOT the Farm Story series, but original creations by Natsume using the name and legacy of the brand. Story of SEasons - Now (Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive town is the newest release at this time) > The Farm Story series now localized by XSEED
What a trippy, confusing mess. I never played a Harvest Moon game so the titles confused me just as much as Scott. I guess it's good the series is still going strong same as always, just with a different English name now.
I loved the sales capcom were doing. Ive heard of the Ace Attorney franchise but never got the motive to play it, but they went on sale, got all three, and damn it i got the Great AA Chronicles. Wish Nintendo, Level-5, Atlus (so close), Game Freak, or any other major publishers did this, so many games i’ve would’ve gotten or given a chance if they were on sale.
Yeah, in Europe we got atlus so I got soul hackers, persona q and Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. Wish we had capcom sale here as I wanted to get the ace attorney games but will now just wait for a collection when they eventually get ported.
@@Just_normal_youtube_channel even though the wii is the simplest thing to mod in like forever, you literally just stick in an sd card and wabam hacked then just install software
Already miss it I loved the eshop so much as a kid and still do. The 3DS has so much personality I love it’s whole style and amazing music for even little stuff like the settings. I loved going on the eshop and seeing if the music changed the 3DS is still one of my favorite consoles ever
I mean, I played the first Yokai Watch when I was 22 and I love that series now, so I don’t think it’s just a “childhood nostalgia” game. Probably has to do more with Scott already not liking RPGs.
I feel the need to spread this info. When Nintendo said you'll be able to redownload any game you previously purchased, they knowingly or unknowingly lied. There are games that are already removed from the shop. I'm not talking about the free stuff that Nintendo said would be removed, I mean games that I purchased with money are completely removed from the store and not redownloadable. I was told by Nintendo Support that these games were most likely gone due to licensing reasons and/or the publishers pulling it down. So essentially there's a ton of games that have been P.T.'ed off the eShop.
The differences between the US and European eShops was pretty big before the Switch eShop. The home pages for the Wii U in particular were super different, the US always had many games and random graphics on display while the UK mostly just focused on the big releases that month front and centre. So many publishers put their games on Sale before the closure in the West, meanwhile we only had 1/4th of the last sales in the UK. We didn't even get last minute sales from Capcom but we at least had some from Atlus.
I wish Nintendo would release the sales data for the last 2 months of the 3DS Eshop purchases. It would be interesting to see. Capcom sales would definitely be in the top ten.
This one hurts right in the nostalgia. RIP eShop. i have so many memories of just flicking through and seeing all the cool games that were coming out. i was 10 going to gamestop to trade in my ds xl for a 3ds on release day.
Luigi dream team will always be special to me because I somehow got into the eshop without online (still not sure how) and got the demo and loved it (i was like 6
gosh. i remember getting my 3ds almost 10 years ago and browsing through the shop just being amazed at all the games the 3ds had compared to the dsi. only got a few games like pokemon UM and sf64. but i still managed to snag flipnote 3d :3
I love listening to these videos at work when Im working alone, and yeah I wasnt able to follow along with nintendo news much growing up, until about 2017 or so, but I have to agree about the nostalgia stuff haha. Right now I’m kind of hyped for the next Fire Emblem remake and one day long after playing it for hours I will look back and remember this comment and time. Hopefully this doesn’t age terribly
Scotts Stash has really been what I love from Scott lately. His main videos are great, but too skit heavy for me. These videos feel like the content that really sold me on him in the first place.
Dream Team has way too many tutorials though and it's only game in the series that is like this. The fact that Paper Jam made all tutorials optional is proof that plenty of people complained about the over abundance of tutorials in Dream Team.
@@era2legit That's because the game has way too many mechanics for overworld traversal, so they felt the need to over tutorialize the game. Instead of having like three or four ways to traverse the overworld like in previous games (in previous games you have like the air spin, going underground or the high jump), they instead introduce a new mechanic everytime you go into a new area in Luigi's mind and you go inside his mind a lot. So because of this they have to have a new tutorial everytime you go into a new area or else people would not understand how to do the mechanics. If just they had like three mechanics for traversal, then they wouldn't have needed so many tutorials. And also give the player the option to skip them if they already know the mechanics.
Man, I sunk weeks of my life and hundreds of my dollars into this shop, and it'll have some of my most fond memories I'm gonna miss it, and i'm glad this and the other 3DS eShop browsing video are here for me to revisit
I beat AA Trials and Tribulations on a road trip and it was a pretty sucky one that I didn't wanna be on, but playing that game really made up for that. So now that experience sticks with me and makes me remember that game even more. Great to hear a similar experience.
The switch store being a dumpster pile, is very very accurate since the catalog is 90% shovelware. It's just one big unattractive steaming pile of shovelware that is super laggy and impossible to find anything.
35:20 Great game. Me and my brother's got stuck on that rthyem section once you got to the city for the longest time. Then someday we beat and completed the game. Good times
this video is just a big ol nostalgic capsule, had this running in the background while i worked on some projects. thats a compliment btw- its hard to find nice background noise without it getting annoying. these unscripted videos are just nice to listen to. thanks scott :) 👍
To be honest, the funniest thing is the fact that closing the shop means piracy's technically legal now cause Nintendo ain't makin sales with eBay purchases
I never had a 3DS, but this was super interesting and cute! I wish the Switch eShop ran this well and had this much personality! It feels to me like they barely care about the Switch eShop, for all that they tout it constantly. X'D This was so cool! Love it! Thanks so much, Scott!
regarding yo-kai watch- as someone who didn't grow up with the games and played them. they're actually really good id recommend buying them if physical copies werent 400$ and the eshop was closed but heyyyy *piracy*
❗️43:09 How can you like 'Tomodachi Life' but NOT like 'Miitopia'? I preferred the latter and in fact, its my favourite 3DS Game. 52:42 I wonder who that "guy" was. Does he remember Scott in college? Does he know what Scott does now?
Super confused with the Yo-Kai Watch hate lol I first played it as an adult, and enjoyed it a lot. They also only got better as they went along (though I personally prefer 2). I actually don't know if many of the people I've heard talk about it "grew up with it" either, the first game is only 10 years old, so even someone who's in their 20's wouldn't have really been introduced to it when they were super young.
Yeah that kinda just came off as like... idk how to put it, dismissive maybe? Like the Yo-kai Watch games have plenty of strengths, sure they may be a bit juvenile but I think there's still plenty of things to enjoy about them as an adult.
@@SoulSylvia I think it largely comes from Scott very outspokenly not liking RPGs at all. He has gotten dismissive about things like localizations of older Fire Emblem games before. Of course he dosen't need to like these games and can joke about that but I think there's line between that and being somewhat obnoxious about it.
I don't really understand why he would even discuss it seeing as how he doesn't like RPGs. It puts a bad mark on a good franchise. Those who kept up with the series have seen how cool and complex the lore is and he wrote it off as a "funny children's game" situation
I don't necessarily care for Yo-Kai Watch either, but I wouldn't call Scott's comments as just "hate" which is just an unnecessary blanket statement. I feel he just views the series as something very similar to Pokemon, where if you grew up with Pokemon you're kinda in it for the long-haul and become a superfan. But if you didn't grow up with it, it's a lot harder to get invested as an adult since you weren't feverishly addicted as a child, and Pokemon is just a really... basic JRPG with it's unique quirk being the immense list of Pokemon you can catch. In other words, there's not much of a hook for your average Joe to start playing it, same as Yo-Kai Watch. The game's style and marketing is also moreso directed towards kids, at least more than usual compared to Nintendo's other games.
@@LgameZ Are you saying you can only discuss a series if you like it? It's not like Scott was trying to definitively say his opinion is objectively true, it's just how he sees it, which its fine if you disagree with that. RPGs are one of my favorite game genres of all time and I think I share a similar sentiment with Scott's opinion on Yo-Kai. I never played it myself and would be willing to try it out someday, but it also seems like it's one of those "you gotta be REALLY into it to be into it" games.
Scott you gotta make a mini/April fool's video on "Games to Play on Halloween!" It's my favorite Nintendo published 3ds "game" and it deserves so much more attention! (Only mild sarcasm).
Damn I didn’t expect a mention of SpongeBob Atlantis SquarePantis on Wii, seeing as I also played through it this year. I thought that game was kinda decent for a SpongeBob game, but mostly mediocre as an actual game. THQ’s yearly SpongeBob thing I’d argue is even crazier than Nintendo’s yearly Pokémon strategy, because they basically commission different developers to make completely different games, on consoles, on Game Boy Advance, on DS etc, by a specific deadline so they could all release on the same day. It’s more insane than what the Pokémon Company was doing in the 2010’s.
The problem with what Amiibo can give you is the piracy. Within a few months of the release, people had figured out how to write generic NFC chips to read as Amiibo. Thus, people were buying NFC cards for a fraction of the retail price, which Nintendo saw none of. Thus, putting a whole game or even points towards a game were ruined by thieves
I enjoyed Island Tour back when I was younger, though I also didn't really have a grasp of how the Mario Party franchise usually worked back then I actually picked up a copy of it from a retro store near my campus last semester, alongside a used copy of Mario Kart 7, and for what it's worth the mini-games still more or less stand up today - I do heavily prefer the classic Monopoly-style format now though, after playing DS and Superstars; IT's boards definitely sucked, generally being waaaaay too reliant on the RNG to go in your favor to actually win Also I remember hearing about the SNES VC stuff early on in its lifetime and I was mad cause I didn't have a New 3DS until also last semester
23:00 someones not heard of the German exclusive Mario Bros. Classic Serie for NES which is literally just that gba game but with NES Graphics, it has better jumping, the ice enemy etc. check it out mr woz!
One thing I hate about the switch generation is the sterile feeling that pervades the system. Feels like it seems into some of the games even. So much more charm in the previous gens….also their e shops ran better
9:16 I didn't grow up on Yokai Watch, I got it as my first 2DS game when I bought the system. It was a pre-installed title on my system. I enjoyed it quite a lot. Not enough to buy all the other games, certainly couldn't afford a lot of games at the time and they took forever to bring the third game to the west which turned me off the series a bit, but it's a decent series.
The 3ds eshop made it so fun for me to download games... Nothing ever made downloading games fun like that. I truly miss the personality of the Nintendo systems before Switch...
this is making me so nostalgic. i love the music, the download screens, and even games like denpa men (scott ha: the third game). such a great video :,o)
Since the e shop closed a part of me died when I heard the news and now because I remember going back through it and having fun browsing and watching some of the videos on the Eshop but I think we all knew this day would come but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t hurt
It's surreal knowing that one day this will happen to the online stores of the Switch, the Series X, and the PS5.
Yep :/
all hail the all digital future

Going from DS Lite to 3DS, the OS and everything about it, from the store to the jingles felt revolutionary
To be honest, the funniest thing is the fact that closing the shop means piracy's technically legal now cause Nintendo ain't makin sales with eBay purchases
scott acting like yo-kai watch released in 2004💀
I never had a 3DS, but this was super interesting and cute! I wish the Switch eShop ran this well and had this much personality! It feels to me like they barely care about the Switch eShop, for all that they tout it constantly. X'D This was so cool! Love it! Thanks so much, Scott!
regarding yo-kai watch- as someone who didn't grow up with the games and played them. they're actually really good
id recommend buying them if physical copies werent 400$ and the eshop was closed
but heyyyy *piracy*
what the hell I never realized that the physical copies became so expensive. I still have bony spirits and the original game in storage
For the record i was buying style savvy exclusively on the eshop on christmas 2017 damn good game
i just got a pink 3ds in the mail today for my 4 year old sister, im about to hack it for her in a sec and ask her what games she wants for it
I remember when people said Yo-Kai watch was going to become more popular than Pokémon... that was a funny time for sure :D
Fantastic idea for an amiibo to give a free virtual console game when scanned.
Probably not gonna happen.
this is a great archive of footage of the 3ds store
Oh yeah big scott woz time
❗️43:09 How can you like 'Tomodachi Life' but NOT like 'Miitopia'?
I preferred the latter and in fact, its my favourite 3DS Game.
52:42 I wonder who that "guy" was.
Does he remember Scott in college?
Does he know what Scott does now?
Super confused with the Yo-Kai Watch hate lol I first played it as an adult, and enjoyed it a lot. They also only got better as they went along (though I personally prefer 2). I actually don't know if many of the people I've heard talk about it "grew up with it" either, the first game is only 10 years old, so even someone who's in their 20's wouldn't have really been introduced to it when they were super young.
Yeah that kinda just came off as like... idk how to put it, dismissive maybe? Like the Yo-kai Watch games have plenty of strengths, sure they may be a bit juvenile but I think there's still plenty of things to enjoy about them as an adult.
@@SoulSylvia I think it largely comes from Scott very outspokenly not liking RPGs at all. He has gotten dismissive about things like localizations of older Fire Emblem games before. Of course he dosen't need to like these games and can joke about that but I think there's line between that and being somewhat obnoxious about it.
I don't really understand why he would even discuss it seeing as how he doesn't like RPGs. It puts a bad mark on a good franchise. Those who kept up with the series have seen how cool and complex the lore is and he wrote it off as a "funny children's game" situation
I don't necessarily care for Yo-Kai Watch either, but I wouldn't call Scott's comments as just "hate" which is just an unnecessary blanket statement.
I feel he just views the series as something very similar to Pokemon, where if you grew up with Pokemon you're kinda in it for the long-haul and become a superfan. But if you didn't grow up with it, it's a lot harder to get invested as an adult since you weren't feverishly addicted as a child, and Pokemon is just a really... basic JRPG with it's unique quirk being the immense list of Pokemon you can catch. In other words, there's not much of a hook for your average Joe to start playing it, same as Yo-Kai Watch. The game's style and marketing is also moreso directed towards kids, at least more than usual compared to Nintendo's other games.
@@LgameZ Are you saying you can only discuss a series if you like it? It's not like Scott was trying to definitively say his opinion is objectively true, it's just how he sees it, which its fine if you disagree with that.
RPGs are one of my favorite game genres of all time and I think I share a similar sentiment with Scott's opinion on Yo-Kai. I never played it myself and would be willing to try it out someday, but it also seems like it's one of those "you gotta be REALLY into it to be into it" games.
I think yo-kai watch personally as stuff that an adult could enjoy, there is junevenile humor sometimes but theres stuff to like outside of that
Scott you gotta make a mini/April fool's video on "Games to Play on Halloween!" It's my favorite Nintendo published 3ds "game" and it deserves so much more attention! (Only mild sarcasm).
shoutout spongebob atlantis squarepantis for wii . it sucks, but it was the one game i played the most on wii in the late 2000s so it's special
I know/care little about Harvest Moon, but that would definitely be an interesting deep dive
I’m so happy that you made this video, I have watched the first 3DS eShop video many times, but the bottom screen are not kind to my eyes.
So, yay! An upgraded version. 🤓😁👍
Man I wish you put this out a month ago, I hadn't heard about the Capcom sales and definitely would have tried to pick some up.
You gotta play through SMB Deluxe twice, when you play the second time it's harder
*pokemon picross is one of the most downloaded titles.
*sweats in fbi
i can finally see what it looked like
Damn I didn’t expect a mention of SpongeBob Atlantis SquarePantis on Wii, seeing as I also played through it this year. I thought that game was kinda decent for a SpongeBob game, but mostly mediocre as an actual game.
THQ’s yearly SpongeBob thing I’d argue is even crazier than Nintendo’s yearly Pokémon strategy, because they basically commission different developers to make completely different games, on consoles, on Game Boy Advance, on DS etc, by a specific deadline so they could all release on the same day. It’s more insane than what the Pokémon Company was doing in the 2010’s.
its been a year now
Daddy…
Nice to see you just browsing around.
The problem with what Amiibo can give you is the piracy. Within a few months of the release, people had figured out how to write generic NFC chips to read as Amiibo. Thus, people were buying NFC cards for a fraction of the retail price, which Nintendo saw none of.
Thus, putting a whole game or even points towards a game were ruined by thieves
Piracy on 3ds is really such a little amount of work
Same for the Vita, you don't even need a pc for it. Or so I hear...
I'm gonna miss Colin the Orange eShop Bag.
He had a name?!
@@juliannocartagena2007 Did you also know he was from Baghdad?
@@FeiFongWang it's True!
@@FeiFongWang Now you’re confusing me.
THE MOON IS ALMOST HERE, LUIGI
I enjoyed Island Tour back when I was younger, though I also didn't really have a grasp of how the Mario Party franchise usually worked back then
I actually picked up a copy of it from a retro store near my campus last semester, alongside a used copy of Mario Kart 7, and for what it's worth the mini-games still more or less stand up today - I do heavily prefer the classic Monopoly-style format now though, after playing DS and Superstars; IT's boards definitely sucked, generally being waaaaay too reliant on the RNG to go in your favor to actually win
Also I remember hearing about the SNES VC stuff early on in its lifetime and I was mad cause I didn't have a New 3DS until also last semester
23:00 someones not heard of the German exclusive Mario Bros. Classic Serie for NES which is literally just that gba game but with NES Graphics, it has better jumping, the ice enemy etc. check it out mr woz!
One thing I hate about the switch generation is the sterile feeling that pervades the system. Feels like it seems into some of the games even. So much more charm in the previous gens….also their e shops ran better
The lack of themes 6 years in is really confusing too
he got a new capture card. the bottom screen is so clear I could cry
9:16 I didn't grow up on Yokai Watch, I got it as my first 2DS game when I bought the system. It was a pre-installed title on my system. I enjoyed it quite a lot. Not enough to buy all the other games, certainly couldn't afford a lot of games at the time and they took forever to bring the third game to the west which turned me off the series a bit, but it's a decent series.
The 3ds eshop made it so fun for me to download games... Nothing ever made downloading games fun like that. I truly miss the personality of the Nintendo systems before Switch...
Rip shop Lost but not forgotten
I could listen to scott ramble about basically anything
I bought a 3ds a few days ago. I want to re live those good times
WOOOOASHI A DOUBLE YOSHI EXPLOSHI
this is making me so nostalgic. i love the music, the download screens, and even games like denpa men (scott ha: the third game). such a great video :,o)
Since the e shop closed a part of me died when I heard the news and now because I remember going back through it and having fun browsing and watching some of the videos on the Eshop but I think we all knew this day would come but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t hurt
“Yo Ho Yo Ho a pirates life for me!” I sing sailing the high seas on my Wii U’s banana boat controller
R.I.P To both eShops
thank you scott❤
ScattWaz is simple yet genius lmao
Sad to see that this is over!
You know when he doesn't say anything for the first few seconds of a video a banger joke is coming
Puzzle and Dragons plus super Mario Bros is literally the only game in the series we have gotten in Australia
14:08 actually, the snes emulators struggle to run on the 3DS/2DS old systems.
Snes9x runs fine on old 3ds models. Nintendo literally just wanted to use the snes games as a marketing tool for the “new” 3ds systems.
