For an industry that already struggles with preservation, that’s disappointing to see.
But it’s not too late to stock up on the eShop while you still can.
After March 27, your Pokemon will be permanently locked to those games.
Even if you do manage to find one, chances are, the internal battery is dead.
Better yet, all of them are compatible with Pokemon Bank.
This means that anything you catch can be transferred to other compatible games.
Just double-check you also download Pokemon Bank before the eShop shuts down.
This was essentially Mario DLC, but it was gated behind card-collecting.
It is, in short,verystrange.
But it’s also extremely endearing, with adorable horses and a powerfully compelling gameplay loop.
Still, there’s time to enjoy the original, intended experience before that happens.
All fans of Kirby or side-scrolling platformers should play Kirby Planet Robobot.
Utilizing the suit’s various possible forms allows you to uncover the secrets of each sprawling level.
There are even a handful of levels that play like shoot-‘em-ups.
You wake up from cryogenic sleep, with zero information regarding what’s going on around you.
moments you’ll experience while leading your robot friend through this spooky adventure are definitely worth the $8.
Fates initially released as two games, Birthright and Conquest, which provide alternate perspectives on two warring nations.
However, the story wasn’t really finished until the third storyline, Revelation.
And the big problem?
It had a very limited physical release.
Fire Emblem games are already difficult enough to play as it is.
So unless you want to fork out hundreds of dollars, I would consider picking up Revelation now.
When it comes to downloadable 3DS games, Pushmo and Crashmo combine to form a knockout one-two punch.
What’s much more difficult to find is a classic like Mario’s Picross.
