Browsing the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS One Last Time 

It's surreal knowing that one day this will happen to the online stores of the Switch, the Series X, and the PS5.

This is pretty much the perfect time capsule to forever remember the great games the 3ds offered.

The 3DS eShop functions and looks like an actual store with all its charming icons and music unlike the modern eShop that looks like you're browsing a grocery store catalogue

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

The Loss of the 3DS eShop hurt man. Actually depressing, especially the loss of the unique video with 3D versions which aren’t even available anymore

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❤

"The Pokemon Company knows what they're doing" that did NOT age well.

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.

Scott, the shop that starts with an H just opens up to ANY DS/3DS game EVER in human existence

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

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

The 3DS was the first console I ever owned for myself, and it's sad the eShop is gone

Same Scott, I feel nostalgic for times that weren’t that long ago. Hell I sometimes feel nostalgic for last week.

Did you spend your 6 cents

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

I just like hearing Scott talk about stuff.

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.

its been a year now

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

"Is the Pokemon holding anything?" "It doesn't look like it is"

We all loved the eshop and it will be missed. So many memories… Thanks for this Scott

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.

Imma be honest, I never grew up with Yo-Kai Watch at all and the game looks like super appealing to me. I need to give it a try

The saddest thing that got shut down was RU-vid for me. I remember staying up late and watching videos on my 2DS. I am a cretin.

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.

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

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.

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.

Finally, was just waiting for this video to come. Thanks for preserving video game history Scott, u r a legend

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.

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

Man I spent so much time just looking at the 3ds eshop as a kid

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.

R.I.P the e-shop.. you will never be forgotten

throughout the video and especially near the end its really blatant how much you care about this stuff, I love your regular videos but these unscripted videos where you're out of character are always really nice to see, love your stuff man

Scott thanks for this it's like you know your fans like myself love this content but even with no editing it's just as great!!

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*

scott did not even open yo-kai watch before talking about it

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

End of an era. Seeing this also makes me wish Switch had the option to have music and ambience for the menus/eshop.

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 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.

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

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 :) 👍

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.

Scott keep on making 3DS videos! I love listening to them.

so much personality in the old nintendo shops, glad these are the interfaces i got to experience as a child

this is a part of history...

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

Can't wait to watch been wanting to get your thoughts on the closure of the E Shop

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

Nice to see you just browsing around.

0:46 oh come on scott the crt-like effect on it looks phenominal

Going from DS Lite to 3DS, the OS and everything about it, from the store to the jingles felt revolutionary

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.

You gotta play through SMB Deluxe twice, when you play the second time it's harder

Oh yeah big scott woz time

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

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.

this is a great archive of footage of the 3ds store

Was waiting for this😢

For the record i was buying style savvy exclusively on the eshop on christmas 2017 damn good game

Such an awesome video to watch

Thank you Scott

23:30 I agree with you with the tutorials but after the first main part it gets really good afterwards.

what's the point of living now

Dude is showering us with videos. WE DONT DESERVE IT, BUT THANK YOUUUUU ❤

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!

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

❗️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?

I know/care little about Harvest Moon, but that would definitely be an interesting deep dive

I remember when people said Yo-Kai watch was going to become more popular than Pokémon... that was a funny time for sure :D

Sad to see that this is over!

I could listen to scott ramble about basically anything

i can finally see what it looked like

thank you , Scott 💗

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

thank you scott❤

I love this channel

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)

I'm gonna miss Colin the Orange eShop Bag.

I bought a 3ds a few days ago. I want to re live those good times

the first pokemon game i ever played was the 3ds version of pokemon crystal back when it released and i still love it

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).

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

Fantastic idea for an amiibo to give a free virtual console game when scanned. Probably not gonna happen.

scott acting like yo-kai watch released in 2004💀

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...

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

So sad! I almost shed a tear for real

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.

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

Rip shop Lost but not forgotten

he got a new capture card. the bottom screen is so clear I could cry

On the point about amiibos, I would say the splatoon 1 amiibos had...some value with how they handled it (minigame challenges to unlock stuff)

I remember when you did the first video like this a few years back

I remember using Photos with Mario only because it launched faster than the Built in 3DS Camera App

Thank goodness for homebrew and the hshop

ScattWaz is simple yet genius lmao
