For whatever is left it looks like Download Codes can still be used until April 4th due to the error Nintendo made with closing off Download Code redeeming early.

You can still play it offline since the game doesn't force an online connection, which I believe the mobile version does.

It's just that at the end of the month, they're cutting out the online Check-in functionality, which you need to do to restore the special stages if you ever change your 3DS system clock.

So if you do time-traveling in any game or you're someone that changes the clock for Daylight Savings, you'll be locked out from ever seeing the special stages again. All regular stages will still be there, so the is playable

They didn't even bother to put out an in-game announcement for that, news of it came from the official Japanese Pokemon web site.

On a separate note, I find it funny that now the only thing you can "buy" are 2 free themes. Like it actually pulls up the transaction screen when you go download it.

I have kept my 3DS and Switch funds separate this entire time. I had added money roughly a year ago that I didnt spend until today.

Is there a reason why you can't link them up now?

Seems like you can still do it.

You can still play Pokemon Shuffle but can't buy anything in it.

I'm surprised this game is still running!

You could always do Download Later since it'll download even after eShop closure.

But the question is can you find something in 3 minutes?

I out of nowhere remember this DSiWare game: Photo Dojo

Price: $1.99

My balance: $0.24

Oh well then.\_()_/

Ok I lied, got DLC for one more 3DS game.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux - Thankfully you can access the DLC from the main menu. There are some free DLC, but it's all items and equipment.

Azure Striker Gunvolt was said to have DLC, but I think it was an update patch that added in Japanese voices to the dialogue, so it's more like the other releases of Gunvolt.

Mighty Gunvolt on the other hand, does have DLC for a couple more stages

Runbow on Wii U also has 2 characters as free DLC.

Got a couple more things off the Wii U eShop and I am good now.

Probably less than you'd think. I imagine B8 (and maybe GameFAQs in general?) is an incredible outlier when it comes to purchasing digital content for defunct consoles that you need workarounds to even add funds to anymore.

You say this, but I can't even access the Wii U eShop due to high traffic. So we're absolutely not alone on this.

Like yeah, the general gaming populace probably aren't bothered by the eShop shutdown since they moved on to current gen, but I wouldn't count out the people that were really into the 3DS and Wii U.

Alright so last set of DLC that I got.

LBX: Little Battlers eXperience - This one you can get right in the main menu and it doesn't make a connection to the Nintendo eShop, so much like the other Level 5 games, it could be around after closure.

Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker - Took me about an hour and 20 minutes of playing until I reached the point of being able to access the DLC shop. There are 2 free DLC on there.
But I chose the first Story since I haven't played Devil Survivor 2 before. Maybe it would have taken less time if you choose the second Story, but that one assumes that you've already played though the game.
I only fought like 2-3 battles but there's a lot of dialogue in the story.

I looked at some free to start games.

Strechmo - You have to play the first 6 stages before it asks if you want to buy the rest of the game. I like how the 6th stage was a whale. It's like they're trying to say something here....

Steel Diver: Sub Wars - You can get the Premium Version right when you start the game, which adds more single-player stuff, and lets you play online, which may or may not be dead at this point.
There are also submarines that you can buy as DLC, which are mostly real-life historical subs, but there are some fun ones like the Blue Marine from Sta Fox 64, and the final boss from the first Steel Diver.

Rusty's Real Deal Baseball - This one I didn't actually get. The game is a series of baseball mini-games that you can buy, with the idea that you can haggle to get the price of the game lowered. But to be able to haggle all the games down to their lowest price, you need to spend some time playing, and I'm quite tired of doing that right now.

Ok, I say I'm done with DLC now.

The eShop is under maint for Switch as well, so it could be regular maintenance.

Yeah, all the other Kirby games have FAR more than 5 stages.

it's a decent foundation for a kid's first platformer/action game.

I understand the sentiment, but I tried getting my nephew, who's like 5 or 6, to play Dream Land 1 and it was like Dark Souls to him.
He knows how to play Mario Kart 8, so it's not like he's completely clueless on how to use a controller.

Wii U:
Runbow

PS3:
Final Fight Double Impact
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix

Those still remain. Though I have a feeling that I'm gonna have to put the code for Runbow out there somewhere.

I'm not sure if I'd use Dream Land 1 as any real indicator. Like it has the platforming that the series is known for but it doesn't have any copying abilities.

You can only vacuum and spit things back at bosses.

Super Star on the other hand, is the series's highlight. If that doesn't grab you then the series probably isn't for you. Though the progression in Super Star is much different than the rest of the series.

Now we have an explanation to why enemies keep respawning.

Kirbys Dream Land 1 takes like half an hour to beat.

Has there been any talk about exactly what time things are going down on the 27th? It's already late afternoon in Japan so it could possibly happen before noon on the 26th for us.

I don't think they ever specified when, and I really doubt they would assume that the average person knows about Japan time. The 27th may still be good to make purchases, but I'd be safe and get everything you want bought by today.

Adding to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, all the DLC is free and it doesn't make a connection to Nintendo's eShop service. So much like the Layton games, it may stick around after the eShop closure.

One thing about Generations, is that you can transfer your 3DS save to Generations Ultimate on Switch, but you need to download the Data Transfer tool from the eShop.

Got a bunch of other DLC and like last I'll say how far you need to go for any last minute buyers.

Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, V, Nexus, and Mystery Dungeon - You can get all the DLC right from the main menu before playing for each of the game.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns - You can buy it from the main menu before starting a file

7th Dragon III Code: VFD - You can buy it from the main menu before starting a file

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology - You can buy it from the main menu before starting a file

Moon Chronicles - You can buy the DLC, which is the rest of the game, from the main menu

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity - Need to get past the tutorial dungeon first, which is maybe about 20 minutes of playing

Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson - If you have a Senran Kagura Burst save data on your SD card, which does not take long at all to create save data, you automatically get a dude that's normally DLC. For the rest of the DLC, you have to play through the tutorial mission first, which is maybe 10-20 minutes of playing, and then you can access the hub which lets you get DLC.

Project X Zone 2 - Don't bother. Whatever DLC was there is no longer available since the game is delisted. I learned that the hard way after going through the first 6 stages that took like an hour and a half of playing. At least I got a feel of the game. It's alright, but I can see it being repetitive.

I'd say the only game left I really care to get DLC for is Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker and it looks like that involves playing some of the game first before accessing the DLC shop. After that I'll be really good on the eShop purchases barring any really last minute purchases.

My guess is that connection to the eShop will still be there, but any connection that tries to do the purchase gets cut-off.

Are these codes region specific? If they work in the UK, could I have Remember Me please?

Sorry, but the PS3 codes only work on North and South America regions.

So I'm gonna have to give it to Pun.

I'd figure along with the Nintendo eShop stuff, I should also give out the Capcom PS3 games from Humble that I've been hanging onto for years.

3DS:

• Gunman Clive
• Mighty Switch Force!
• Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure

Wii U:

• Runbow

PS3:

• Devil May Cry HD Collection
• Final Fight Double Impact
• Mega Man 9 & 10 Combo Pack
• Okami HD
• Remember Me
• Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
• Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix

In general, One per User please.

Anyone asking for a PS3 game is free to also ask for an eShop game (since I know the PS3 games are probably more appealing), but priority will be given to anyone only asking for an eShop game.

PS3 games will be given out first come first serve.

The Mega Man 9 & 10 Combo Pack is a bundle that gives you both games (and for whatever reason, you're still able to purchase both games individually in the PS3 PlayStation store because Sony is dumb).

So it looks like Fire Emblem Fates is still available in the US eShop. So I guess the early delisting was only for other regions.
