The eShop Topic

I would upgrade if my parents are fine with getting me a new 3DS two years after I got my old one. They probably won't .

I bought my 3DS when the N3DS was announced, but it still cost me 170

I upgraded when NN3DS came out and didn't feel guilty because I play my 3DS so much it was worth the money

Pokémon Trading Card Game is on sale. I spent hours and hours on this as a kid. Please buy!

I actually saw that yesterday in this video game store I was in. I chose to buy Mario Superstar Baseball.

Is Kick & Fennick worth it? It's on sale, but I have a grand total of 19p on my eShop account and can't afford any more right now.

Pokémon Trading Card Game is on sale. I spent hours and hours on this as a kid. Please buy!

This game is really fun, but it's also really niche. If you're not into learning the rules of a pretty deep card game on a tiny GBC screen, I'd recommend going for Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire on Wii U instead, which is also discounted (hella discounted if you're a My Nintendo member). This is the Pokémon spinoff I played all the time as a kid, actually completed the Pokédex (or at least all except one or two, I can't remember). I picked it up on this sale and I'm pleased to find that it still plays just as well as it did back then, with a rocking soundtrack and really a pretty addictive control scheme, though I recommend switching to controls where left flipper is B and right flipper is A.

Anyway that's my two cents (or 431, actually). Also on sale this week, I picked up the N64 Paper Mario game on Virtual Console. I figure it's about time I give it a try, though I really wish they'd put out the Super Mario RPG on 3DS or Wii U so I can experience its spiritual predecessor first.

Worth noting once again that Virtue's Last Reward is $12.99 as part of this sale, and honestly having just replayed it the last couple weeks, I can safely say it's one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. If anyone's on the fence about experiencing an absolutely brilliant narrative and devilishly tricky puzzles, don't even think twice, especially with the sequel out so soon.

Minish Cap and A Link to the Past are discounted, I'd recommend getting those instead!

[cashwarrior1]

But they're only for the New 3DS XL

I know this isn't technically eShop, but it deals with paying Nintendo

The 2DS just recently dropped $10 in price, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to get one? As in, what is the purpose of a 2DS?

[mikey]

to play 3DS games for cheap and indestructible
