While the actual eShop isn’t shutting down itself quite yet, being able to put money into the service is coming to a close this month, on May 23rd. So even though the service lasts for almost another year, if you haven’t uploaded any funds, you’re not really going to be able to buy anything after this month.
So now I’ve been looking through the lists and decided I’d share with you all what I’m thinking of buying. I KNOW I won’t actually pick all of this stuff up or even HALF, but I like lists and talking about games so here we go!
- Golden Sun: The Lost Age
I don’t have this game! I’m not sure how much the actual cart is going for right now, but I’m sure this will be the cheapest option going! - Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
If we are gonna play through every JRPG ever, we can’t ignore the Mario & Luigi games, and I never did get the GBA entry to this series. I should remedy that! - Xenoblade Chronicles X
They ARE going to rerelease this game right? Like, it’s not going to die on the Wii U right? I know I can probably find this physically for a decent price, but I’m just SO CERTAIN in my heart of hearts it’ll get a rerelease? RIGHT? - Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation
I actually don’t think I’ll end up getting this, but it’s still wild this is going to be gone forever and those extremely limited physical versions are going to be bajillions of dollars. - Pocket Card Jockey
A Game Freak solitaire horse racing game. It’s also super inexpensive and people love it so I probably should grab it. - Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale
This game looks really cute and super duper Pando. Seriously, look it up! I actually really hadn’t heard much about this game before, but reading into it, and seeing all the recommendations, I’m really sad I missed out on this one, and if I’m not careful – I might miss out on it FOREVER!! - PUSHMO
I’ve always seen and wanted these games but never picked them up for a myriad of reasons – I should probably make good on that now. They are stinkin’ cute. - The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
One of the few Zelda’s I’ve completely missed over the years, it looks so cute and I’ve only heard good things! That GBA service is coming out for the Switch…right???
I’m pretty sure there is a lot more I’m not even thinking of, but these are some of the highlights. I do have a robust physical collection of 3DS and Wii U titles so anything particularly noteworthy that’s missing on this list is probably because I have it already.
But boy howdy! There is some things I really would like to possess! These are mostly things I can’t get otherwise (I’ll choose physical most every day) or they might be great ways to get them cheap so I can play them on stream. Either way, I’m gonna have to decide something in the next few weeks!
