Edit: I made a second part to this video of the eShop exclusives you should check out! Watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Japr895ASOI.html I have a little something for everyone on this list! From Cute games, Mii, RPG's, Horror, FPS, Rhythm Games and so much more, I hope you find something you enjoy! I also include one Wii U suggestion at the end of this video! One thing I didn't mention is a must download demo and that is the Miitopia demo! It's so unique and a bit different than the actual gameplay. It's a must have!
The Kirby Robot Plantoid demo was apparently released to the public(?) as a physical cartridge. It also bypasss(?) the 30 attempts to play the demo as well. The demo was also playable at demo kiosks as well. Kid Icarus uprising can use any card even those over the internet if the video quality is clear enough. There even is a video showing off almost all the cards of the series that was crowd sourced as well.
As someone who lives in France, I'm surprised you mentioned Style Savvy, Fantasy Life, Disney Magical World and Yokai Watch in this video. Here, these games were pretty much popular and now it's very easy to find a physical copy of them for less than 10 euros (like 11 dollars) ! Anyway thanks for this video, now I have some more games to buy on my list !
Sadly the 3Ds is region locked and won’t allow games from another region. I’m guessing some of these were more popular/more produced in Europe. The most recent Style Savvy game is only available digitally in North America, while Japan and Europe have digital versions. I rarely buy digital games, but I ended up having to for that game.
@@ballfan55 If you mod your 3ds with Luma3ds it’s actually possible to play region locked games, and as long as you don’t install games illegally or use cheats there’s no way Nintendo could find it out and ban you. About what you said on style savvy, I guess you meant physical versions for Japan and Europe ?
Unfortunately yo kai watch isnt popular in the west. In fact I think the western offices have closed :( so western fans won’t be able to get any new games either. They probably won’t be localized
Is it even possible to Sail the Seven Seas for 3DS games? It was a very popular method for obtaining games in the DS era, but I imagine it’s a lot more difficult to play emulated 3DS games.
@@xTwilightWolvesx nope, just a few more, but easy steps to put FBI, homebrew channel and a few other programs on it, can play nearly all old consoles on it, ds, 3ds games with faster loading, YAR HAR FLIBO DE GEE
@@gagnose26 if the switch started odd with a good dock similar to the OLED then it could stand in its side. Having a 2ds sort of feel. Considering the 3ds was backwards compatible with older ds games I think they could’ve did a cartridge system similar to that.
I'd say I'd even if they made some sort of add on or something to dual screen kind of like the wii u game pad but using the switch and TV instead. Or maybe make a way to play the switch diagonally.
there no way for 3ds games to work on the switch since the 3ds uses two screens instead one and beside the carts of the switch and 3ds are two diffrent and are not the same.
I didn’t know Style Savvy Fashion Forward was hard to find physically, I have a copy of it that I bought around its release. It goes by Style Boutique instead in the European version. I would like to add that the game that came out afterward, Styling Star, is only physically available in Japan and Europe, and the 3Ds is region locked, so to play it on a North American 3Ds you would have to play it digitally. For anyone thinking of getting the game, I highly recommend Styling Star, the more recent entry over Fashion Forward. It’s an improvement in every way, maintains all the same core features, and uses cell-shading instead which looks much better and gives the characters an illustration-like appearance. Both games have demos if you’d like to test them out. I’ll definitely be getting one or two of the Etrian Odyssey games later, I would always play the demos for them, but never bought one.
Hard agree. The Style Savvy / Style Boutique series is a must-own if you're even slightly interested in that kind of game. There's so much content it's honestly impressive. Styling Star is the way to go!
As someone who's played Style Savvy (Style Boutique 1, 2 and 3 in my country), I can say with confidence that it is AMAZING. It's a really fun game imo and it's great :D Edit: I JUST SAW PROFESSOR LAYTON VS ACE ATTORNEY ON THE LIST, As a diehard Layton Fan and a massive Ace Attorney fan, I can, again, say with confidence that if you love puzzle solving games, and mystery solvers, this is DEFINITELY a game for you. And hey, some Layton games tend to show up in shops like CEX now and again, and are pretty cheap! So if you like Vs Ace Attorney, I HIGHLY recommend picking up a Layton game. The story is legendary and the gameplay is great.
It's amazing and it might not ever get ported with the copyright between Level-5 and Capcom. I may buy it again because my physical keeps crashing lately... T-T
Nice video! I'm so glad you've included Rhythm Thief, Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright and Kid Icarus Uprising! They're three of my favourite 3DS titles! 💕
According to a message that I got on my Nintendo 3DS, I was told to ignore the shutdown notice of the Nintendo 3DS Eshop notification when it was going to eventually show up on my system. I believe that I found the exact reason as to why it is happening as well.
One game is _ONLY_ on the E-Shop is a strange but addictive game called *Pocket Jockey* It's basically is solitaire & a horse game had a baby. You're a jockey, and can purchase, grow and breed horses. You play a unique version of solitaire card game to see how well you do in a race! Each horse has abilities or preferences on where it dies best which mixes things up too. It's also made by Game Freak.
I LOVED Fantasy Life! I’ve finished it about 3 times hehe ( never played the dlc but I’ve bought and should be playing it soon!) other games that I would get before there shop closes is Harvest Moon: A New Beginning and the first 2 Story of Seasons games! If you like farming and building up towns in some way or form, these are the games to get!
Corpse Party has to be one of my most favorite games, I actually have the physical version with the little figures! I bought it when it came out. I'm so glad to see it on your list.
any fans of miitopia or miis in general need to see miitopia casting call. it's not exactly a game per se and more of a "sit back and watch some trailers" but the trailers in it are adorable and incredibly entertaining, even if there's just three of them.
Rhythm heaven Megamix is physical in the European and Japanese versions, but digital on NA copies. But yeah, Megamix is really fun and has a lot of games from the past series if you don't have wii/u or GBA.
I’m so glad you included Rhythm Thief! Me and my brother actually finished it a while ago, and it is definitely worth playing! Some of the minigames are admittedly janky, but it’s not too difficult to find its rhythm. Would definitely recommend if you like rhythm games, easy puzzles, and mystery!
I thought about buying it when it was going to come out, and I was doing so bad at playing the demo of the game. I did not think about buying the game then, maybe I possibly play the demo now.
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about project mirai as it’s impossible to find copies of the game in any country except Japan, i never found any in Europe 😅 i had to buy it in the eshop
It may be really rare, but I bought a physical copy on release from a gamestop in the US, so it may show up being resold online in other regions besides Japan! (although probably super pricey)
Great list with a few games I'd never even heard of! I wouldn't recommend getting Corpse Party on 3DS, though; the digital version is $10 cheaper on Switch, and all of the extra story stuff that is unvoiced on 3DS is fully voiced on Switch.
Yeah only annoying thing with Corpse Party is the sequel Book of Shadows only on PSP/Vita or PC but but 3rd game Blood Drive is on Switch lol. Hopefully they port it too
Ah ive been watching you for quite a few years watching your tomodachi life videos and now the eshop is shutting down. Its so sad but fantasy life is amazing! I would definitely recommend it! :D
I’m glad you mentioned yo Kai watch as all the games are really fun. I so mad at Nintendo for closing the Eshop for the 3ds. I just have to hope that my 3ds isn’t broken when I find it (My room is really messy right now so I going to have to clean it to find my 3ds)
I cant find a single person talking about yo-kai watch. While I haven’t played the 2 games you mention here, I played the first two games that came out and I highly recommend that anyone at least try out any of the game. It’s super good and funny, and it literally made my whole childhood. I’m still a fan of the franchise even tho it’s pretty much dead at this point :[
I heard somewhere that the rights or something like that was bought for the English version of one of yo Kai watch games that was on the switch in Japan so maybe it’s making a comeback but idk for sure
physical copies of style savvy are really easy to find for cheap in europe, i got one in december for 15 €!! just look on apps that sell used stuff like Vinted, but i think it's the only game on this list that you can find for cheap, for example professor layton vs ace attorney is impossible to find for a good price (im so glad i bought it day one)
I haven't actually played Style Savvy, but I DID play the demo for it. It is one that's been on my wishlist for a while now though haven't gotten it yet. It is SO much fun and I was really shocked it's never talked about. I have a big interest in fashion and it's been so fun. I haven't played Etrian Odyssey Nexus, but from my experience with Etrian Odyssey V, I highly recommend any Etrian Odyssey game. I played the demo for V a long time ago, but finally got it this past Christmas. It is SO much fun and any Etrian Odyssey game will be good fun. Definitely get any of the old GBA Pokemon games of gen 1 or 2 if you are interested, person reading this. I got them all already, but they're a great way to enjoy the games. The gen 6 and 7 games (Omega Ruby, X Y, Alpha Sapphire, and the Sun Moon USUM games) are still somewhat accessible tho of course prices have spiked. You can usually find them in person in GameStop and are pretty common in second hand stores (the local one always has some kinda pokemon 3DS game.) So I'd say the old Gameboy ones are more worth your money, but going for the 3DS is fine too. I just can usually find physical copies for a reasonable $30-$40 price tag quote easily myself. Edit: I'm so sad the 3DS shop is closing as I'm not in a good financial place to buy the games I've wanted for years right now which breaks my heart, but for anyone interested in games and with the money, it is SO worth it to buy any game from there. I've played a lot of demos and gotten into multiple series from the eShop. I found monster hunter stories, Etrian Odyssey, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, and a lot more. It's easy to find some good stuff on your own too so anyone searching and hasn't found a game that suits em in a video, checking for yourself is really easy to do. I'd spend so long on the eShop myself and I usually get overwhelmed with a lot of things so it's pretty easy to find some good stuff :)
At 3:35, i can confirm the existence of a physical version of Rhythm Heaven Megamix(Rhythm Paradise Megamix for Europeans here), as i own such a copy myself, so if people can jailbreak their 3DS systems, they can enjoy the physical copy of this game, despite it being the European version.
There is definitely a video showing off how the Nintendo GameCube can play other region games without tricking the console. It is not directly mentioned in the title of the video that contains the information though, if I am recalling correctly.
I know that I found something related to this game content available on RU-vid somewhere. I believe that it showed them jailbreaking their console to make it possible to play this game. I would have at least looked into how to download the video to my computer if I had known that people would have wanted to see the video. All of the videos that I have seen of jailbreak games their consoles and their related content was done prior to 2020. I was thinking that comment exactly on the video as I was watching it, but unsure on how exactly to phrase I correctly. Maybe the video is yours under a different youtuber username(?) It would not surprise me if they forgot that they uploaded a video of the content that they were explaining. I know that it was at least 3 years ago, if I am recalling correctly as well. I know that I have forgotten which videoes that I placed comments on only to get notified later by someone asking more information about it later.
There js no way that I could even have a single video made about anything they I am explaining, even with the hardware already acquired l, since I was caught out of shock for the majority of the information. Also I was finding all of it in the midst of a mind set when I was not jotting any of it down as I was finding it to even being able to repeat it. Also Nintendo did not want the notification saved on my system after they sent it to me. They retracted it back almost immediately.
BTW for Style Savvy, styling star is the one you NEED to buy because I've done research, and the US version doesn't have a physical release at all so for some people this is legitimately the only way to play (The European version had a physical release I think but it's called New Style Boutique)
Maybe was made available through certain fashion websites back in the day? Probably it is made available for download to an SD via a similar website that you should know when you see it. Maybe I did find it, but I did not even care about the concept to even save it to memory where I found it at. It also might be where you can buy the physical cartridge of the game for America. The website was even saying that everyone might think that there is no physical release of the game for America as well. The game was definitely finished before it was made available in the Nintendo 3DS eshop.
Pushmo was also made available to download before the company made it available by choice in the Nintendo 3DS shop. They did not need to make any changes to the game to get permission. The game was already fully finished and approved by Nintendo. I was just getting weird looks from the person outside the window when I was playing it. I believe that I somehow installed it on my console using my system IMEI number.
6:24 *Code of Princess* is *not* on the 3DS eShop anymore! it was removed in 2020. It is available on the Switch eShop as Code of Princess EX, but the Switch version does not have Laura Bailey's voice acting OR the beautiful 3D visuals.
hatsune miku project mirai dx is a super cute rhythm game and its on sale for $10 rn in the eshop! i lost my physical copy years ago, super happy to see that it's on sale
Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Thief (the latter of which I’ve never heard of) sound like steals to get before the shop closes, and I’ve never gotten a chance to play the original Luigi’s Mansion. I’ll definitely take your recommendations into consideration! Thank you so much!
Just 100%ed HarmoKnight and I totally recommend it. It's not too expensive ($14.99) and is a rhythm-based platformer with a decent amount of replayability (normal and fast speeds for all levels + bonuses for getting the best rating for each level). There is a story-- ableit a light one-- and it has its own charm, so you'd be missing out if you don't get it.
It's only a few minutes in and when I saw Moko Moko Friends I felt a HUGE wave of nostalgia crash over me. I remember playing this game as a kid and I wish I could play it again but my 3DS broke down a few years ago and now I can't play. It really sucks but hopefully, I can find a good 3DS emulator to use so I can play these games I used to play as a kid and feel nostalgia once more.
I just went on a 3ds game shopping spree (9 games for $158!) Mariokart 7 is only $7.99 on gamestop for anyone who needs it btw! & Smash bros 3DS for $12.99!
To add with Etrian Oddysey (and kinda Trauma Center), Devil Survivor series by the same company, Atlus, is a must have imo. 2nd game, Record Breaker, goes on sale both on America and Europe at around $5-$10, and 1st game (Overclocked) not sure since in Europe it doesn't go below 34.99€ (around $37), but in America it goes on sale too for about the same value as second game. Game numbers doesn't matter, btw, they aren't connected :) and it's some 'Fire Emblem meets SMT/Persona', more or less... By the same publisher, Shin Megami Tensei IV is also pretty good. While it's very difficult at the first part, after you beat the first boss it 'balances' the difficulty curve
Oh! Fantasy life? I had that game but sold it to get something else when I was younger! (I loved it but I always sell my old games to get new ones that I want) I didn't realize it was becoming so hard to find. Really should have kept it.
@@ohhmykawaii Yess I agree! The game deserves a lot more attention imo,, it would be pretty cool to get a switch port or smn so that more people would be able to play it
2:38 Great mention I own the first two games I got them cheap at Walmart years ago. but you also neglected to mention that the THIRD game styling star was a digital exclusive in the North American eShop that's definitely a title that needs to be picked up before it's gone.
I bought Rhythm Thief back when it came out in 2012 and I immediately fell in love with the game. I can’t believe how rare it is now! Luckily I still own my copy of it!
I have every trauma center game and I can't recommend it enough. Each wii title for the series is amazing, and the ds games don't get enough attention. I love New Blood and Team especially.
I had PLvsPW in physical copy once, but sold it for extra cash when I was a broke student. Now I deeply regret it, seeing the price. I hate how the games are either so expensive or are gonna be wiped out because of the store closing. It's so sad. My hand is forced to finally buy Dual Destinies then, I've been processcinated on it too much but the time is here
I'm still debating if I should get DD and SoJ on my 3DS or on mobile Also if you're in the US, the Ace Attorney games have been on sale multiple times in the last month's, so you could wait for them to go on sale again
Why is nintendo even doing this??? This is actually a stupid thing they're doing. Also another game I recommend is Pokemon art academy. I honestly just use it for free draw so I can draw what i want lol. It comes with MANY different colors. Also Paper Mario 64 on the Wii U if u don't have a Nintendo 64
I think they're wanting to distance themselves from the 3DS and Wii U sadly :( I'ts not a smart move at all. You can't even use a credit card on the eShop anymore. I have Pokemon Art Academy on this list with other Pokemon games!! :3 It's so freakin cute tbh I've seen a lot of people say it's helped teach them how to draw! Good Wii U suggestions!! :3
AHHH SO IT WAS THE EUROPE VERSION!! When it was being released I looked everywhere to try to find a copy of it and never could, so I just bought the digital version. If it was released over here it def did not have a lot of copies produced!
You forgot to mention Style Savvy Styling Star as it is eShop exclusive. They really didn't advertise it too well and it has a different art style from the last game but it's still worth picking up in my opinion.
Corpse Party is definitely a good place to start if you want to get into intense horror games from RPGMaker creators. Not too intense but still scary enough to help you determine if its something you really want to get into. I also really recommend Fantasy Life and Rhythm Thief. Rhythm Thief hands down has THE best video game OST. Barely tops Binding of Isaac. Realizing that I grew up on the 3DS and played games like Rhythm Thief when I was in my early teenage years and now I'm an adult.... It's a weird feeling. I remember the day I got my 3DS. I remember being so worried about playing an E10 game like Rhythm Thief because it had a scene with alcohol in it. And now here I am. Calling Corpse Party relatively tame. I dont know if anyone will see this, but if youre considering getting any game at all before the EShop closes, Rhythm Thief. Easily. I am NOT good at rhythm games and I did fine. The game is far more focused on the plot. The OST goes hard, the story is surprisingly really good, and the cast is loveable. That game heavily influenced who I am today and I will always point to this game as the moment I found my genuine love for gaming. I cannot state enough how gorgeous and breathtaking rhythm thief is.
Ever since the announcement I've been binging these types of videos, but this one is by far the one with the most bizarre recommendations I've seen; this is truly some deep cut stuff. I'm sure all titles you listed are fine, it's just that they're so wildly misaligned with the usual suspects I've thus far encountered, that I find it kind of funny. Odd taste.
I recently bought a physical copy of Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright:Ace Attorney and it is amazing! I have already had so much fun playing with it and the storyline is great with many plottwist! Definitely recommend
I need to get girly game really bad! I don’t want photos whit Mario to gone and badge arcade as well! Nintendo pls stop making shut down shop games from the love of god!
3:18 The physical version of Rhythm heaven megamix released also in Korea. I remember playing this game when I was a kid :) it’s a fun game I recommend it (now the eshop is closed so you need to homebrew your 3ds/2ds to download it… or get a Japanese or Korean physical version)
Fun fact: the most rarest and most expensive game in the yokai watch series is yokai watch 3 since it was on the one few games that was at the end of the 3DS section
Thank you for sharing this information with us all! ...Now to figure out how I can convince my mom to let me get all the ones I want before the shop dies- (Seriously now that I know it exists I NEED that Sanrio racing game in my life like right now XD)
If you use steam, Corpse Party got another remaster around the end of 2021 so it's available on there! So while it wont exactly look like it is on 3ds, it'll be available for $20
Ive had Disney Magical World and it was truly in my top 5 DS Games ! But SADLY AND FOR THE SECOND TIME ALREADY ive lost the game's card thingie 😭 It's definitely a game to get if you like adventure , fighting and disney ofc! And i loved how you could play with other players (not with internet tho) ! Except you cant go anywhere but stay in your place 😅 It's definitely a must and i hope i find it soon (ive lost it once and found it but now its been missing for a few years again😃🔫)
If there’s any game visual novel fans must get on 3DS, it’s Apollo Justice, Dual Destinies, and Spirit of Justice. The original DS version is over $100 on the internet, and physical copies of DD and SoJ are only in Japan. All are must haves for Phoenix Wright fans and visual novel fans!
Kid Icarus Uprising is a blast, just got Rhymth Thief like a mounth ago sadly haven't played pass the first stage yet love the Animated 3D cutscenes though. Stellar Glow and Rhythm Heaven Megamix was good so far, need to finnish them one day. Sadly Code of Princess is no longer available in my region since God knows when.
*added notes regarding Fantasy life for anyone who plains on getting it* the game has a $7 (usd) dlc, which adds the final chapter of the game's story to the game, on top of that it adds a new world/zone to explore, dungeon, and bosses, and is rather important for the full experience of the game. Another note for those with the game but wants to get their friends into it, people with out the dlc can *only* play with players who also dont have the dlc. While players *with* the dlc can only play with players with the dlc. This info is very important to know in advance.
FANTASY LIFE!!!! 😍😍😍 I have the hard copy version of the game and it's one I've started over SOOOO many times that I've lost count! 🤣 This is my absolute favorite game and have even got the DLC and reached creator rank in all of the lives. I still haven't quite 100% it yet though. Still some more things I find myself needing to do.
I game I would suggest, if you like Fantasy Life, is Ever Oasis. It's such a good game and I love it. You basically get to design your own oasis in the middle of a desert whilst trying to break a curse that was set upon a land where water is very rare and hard to find.
While I was looking around at videos for recommended games for the 3ds I thankfully came across you video! If I'm being honest I really shocked you recommended Yo kai Watch, since no one really mentions it, but anyways thank you for your suggestions I would gladly look at since my taste is all over the place..
