I'll have to agree on that. Although I've never use the DSi Shop before, its kinda sad to see it go. Look, and the Wii Shop Channel works fine. Either that or it's shutting down too, just at a later date.
i only bought zenonia, birds and beans, warioware snapped, and publisher dream that i transferred looong time ago into my 2DS when I got it last year. and i STILL play them on my 2DS ♥ rest in peace little shop :(
I particularly liked the downloading software in the DSi Shop. It was like a direct sequel to the Wii Shop download having Mario 1 hitting blocks while this is Mario 2. Kinda wished the Wii U eshop had something like this.
At least the 3DS have a little aniamtion with the form blocks and the eShop bag coming from time to time, but the Wii U one is literally just an status bar.
I missed the timing window to download that at the time and have been scouring the internet for years trying to figure out a way to get it until I finally hacked my 3ds the other day and manually installed it... You guys were the fortunate ones...
Ahh, it's sad to know the DS/DSi are now offline systems, I had countless fun memories playing Mario Kart DS online (the very first online game I played) and downloading fun & interesting games on DSi Ware like Pyoro, Shantae and Mighty Milky Way... aw I'm sad now. ;-;
+Woobin The Scrub Nintendo used to sell the Wi-Fi USB access point bundled with the Wii for people that don't own a router. That's a very nice thought from Nintendo, as always :D
Ah, I remember DSi's store. Great little thing. Remember being so excited to finally get Cave Story and 99 Seconds and... er... Mario Clock? Obviously, one of those was better that the others, but still!
People who look back at this to 2024, I was 4 when I got my DSi I will remember this and all the dsi memories when I’m in 2030 RIP DSi shop (2009-2017)
I remember robbing one of the neighbors who didnt have a password in their wifi and download apps on my iPad and free games on my ds oh how the times have changed
The download screen is so adorable! While being kinda cute the eShop bag in the download screen, seeing this now I think it could have been better. Heck. the WiiU doesn't even have a said mascot! Come on now, Nintendo. Hope the NX at least has the Badge Arcade bunny or Nikki managing stuff.
I am so sad :( Even though I never actually bought anything from the shop other than flipnote because it was free. But still... I have food memories of scrolling through the shop looking at games I couldn’t get
I remember not being able to buy any games on the ds, but when I got the new second gen iPod touch that came out at that time, all the free App Store games overwhelmed me.
God I miss that animation of Mario and everyone else filling up the block and then wrapping it at the end I miss my old dsi I traded to game stop to get the 3ds
Bro when I was in like 2nd grade I had a 3DS XL and my friend who was in 3rd grade had a DSi XL and brooooo that thing looked so good. I'm in 8th grade now and I get sad whenever I see a DSi
RIP, old friend... Actually, I don't know why I bought a Dsi, anyway, It was the same thing but more expensive. Besides the shop, there really wasn't any reason.
Although I didn't go on this as much as the Wii Shop channel, it's still nostalgic to me. And the fact that I found out it shut down MONTHS after that happened is pretty sad. :(
Is there a way to reuse it for a different name? Like Sudomemo, for example. You just had to change proxy settings on your connection and it’s there. No modding required! Will it be revived like how Hatena revived?
My sister had a Black DSi since 2009 and I lost it in 2017 lol, but its fine.. I got a new 2DS XL the same year which broke, and another DSi, but this time it was a DSi XL and it was Midnight Blue. I enjoy it a lot
I’m hearing this and now that I think about I feel like in about a few years they will close the Nintendo DS shop eventually things don’t last forever nowadays
The 3DS era is over...*cries* No seriously, Nintendo is now only focusing on the Nintendo Switch as a hybrid console. The 3DS and Wii U are lucky to still retain their eShops and online communities.
Before the Nintendo DSi Shop closed, I bought the DSiWare versions of Airport Mania and Flight Control, in fear a future version of iOS would prevent me from playing the iOS versions! Come iOS 11, I gotta turn to the DSiWare versions! (Airport Mania I also own on WiiWare, Flight Control I bought the PS3 version of over Christmas)
Does anybody remember this one game from the shop where you were a wizard and another wizard kidnapped the princess it was a platformer game i'm trying to find the name but i can't please please help!!!
