Indie Developer, OtyugraGames has been forced to announce the cancelation of a Nintendo 3ds port of their upcoming Horror-Roguelike called “dream-Prison wanderer”, which they had previously said was coming to Nintendo’s dual screen system. In a long reddit post at the beginning of the month, Otyugra claimed Nintendo was “indirectly” responsible for this decision, making both physical and digital publishing “utterly infeasible” on the 3DS platform.

In direct response to recent actions by Nintendo (some of which are confidential), we at Otyugra decided we must cancel Dream-Prison Wanderer's port to the New 3DS family of systems. We tried to make it happen from May 2019 until today, for as long as possible.

In the very same update, the developers confirmed the game was still in development for Windows, with the game scheduled for a 2023 release date, as well as adding that there would be consideration given to releasing the game on other platforms in the future

This is just a symptom of the clse of the 3DS and wii U E-shops, which as set to shut permanently in march 2023.

In an interview with 3ds eshop developers earlier this month, Nintendo Life revealed that these developers had not received notification ahead of schedule about the E-shops closure. One developer even specifically stated that the older eshop games had paid for their office rent in 2021.

For those who still play on their Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, unfortunately we’ve got some bad news for you. This is because Nintendo have recently announced they will closing the online storefront for both consoles by 2023. In fact, it looks like it could even be a lot sooner than that. Yikes.

Why would they do such a thing though? I thought Nintendo were keen on preserving all of their previous console iterations? This is what the official post had to say on the procedure to ease players out:

“As of May 23, 2022, it will no longer be possible to use a credit card to add funds to an account in Nintendo eShop on Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. As of August 29, 2022, it will no longer be possible to use a Nintendo eShop Card to add funds to an account in Nintendo eShop on Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. However, it will still be possible to redeem download codes until late March 2023”.

Nintendo 3DS And Wii U Players Still Able To Play Games After March 2023

Thankfully, it looks like both consoles will still be playable once the stores shut. In all honesty, that is not much of an achievement, nevertheless it means it isn’t all completely doom and gloom, is it? Here’s what Nintendo had to say upon the matter:

“Even after late March 2023, and for the foreseeable future, it will still be possible to redownload games and DLC, receive software updates and enjoy online play on Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems”.

Obviously, all good things must come to a close in the end we suppose. The 3DS is eleven years old and the Wii U ten, so their stores were always going to close eventually. However, that doesn’t mean we still can’t be sad about it. In fact, there is one massive reason as to why it’s more disappointing than you may have initially thought…

NSO Stops Players From Experiencing Their Greatest Games

This is the truly devastating news. The shopfronts for both the 3DS and the Wii U offered users the ability to purchase and own many of Nintendo’s greatest every games. Unfortunately, this is something you’re not able to do since the company switched to a subscription model with Nintendo Switch Online.

This was a problem Nintendo saw coming. This post was recently added to their FAQ section online:

“Across our Nintendo Switch Online membership plans, over 130 classic games are currently available in growing libraries for various legacy systems. The games are often enhanced with new features such as online play. We think this is an effective way to make classic content easily available to a broad range of players. Within these libraries, new and longtime players can not only find games they remember or have heard about, but other fun games they might not have thought to seek out otherwise. We currently have no plans to offer classic content in other ways”.

How disappointing. What do you think about all this then? Were you still an avid 3DS user? Let us know in the comments below! For more high quality blogs and gaming news, head on over to our website here. Beforehand though, make sure to take advantage of the great deals with have at go2games.

With over half the year gone already, we thought we would take a look at our favourite top 5 games so far! 

5. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D

Having originally being released on the Nintendo 64 in 2000, Nintendo decided to release, one of the strangest Zelda titles to say the least, on Nintendo 3DS. The game takes Link out of the better known Hyrule and strands him in the strangle lands of Termina, a dark twisted universe. In this time-travel themed game, Link has three days to try and stop the moon from falling and, in that case, burning the world. Although Princess Zelda makes only a slight appearance during a flashback, this fantastic N64 game have been remastered to perfection for Nintendo 3DS users and comes in at number 5 in our top 5 games of 2015 so far.

4. Splatoon 

The Wii U haven’t had too many games to boast this year but we’ve given there hit Splatoon number four in our list. A light-hearted ‘Battlefield’, Splatoon redefines the genre of shooters taking away realistic violence and bringing some good ole’ innocent fun, whilst swapping blood and bullets for ink. The atmosphere of the game is uplifting, and although it is primarily a multiplayer title, the single-player mode is brilliant fun. Splatoon is packed with charm, plays like a dream whilst suitable for all ages, bringing a new experience to the shooting genre.

3. Lego Jurassic World

Lego games are always good fun and Lego Jurassic World is no different. We’ve enjoyed it so much its managed to take the third spot in our top 5 games so far. Along with the recent release of the hit new film in the iconic series, Jurassic World, this game also follows the epic storyline of the three previous Jurassic Park films, giving the user plenty to do. As well as playing through the films, you can spend hours going off story and exploring the well-designed open islands, finding all the little secrets and hidden areas on the way. The addition of being able to play as a dinosaur makes the experience even better. The producers have delivered on the nostalgia, along with adding a comical side to the story, and all in all creating a game that us lot down here have enjoyed very much!

2. Batman: Arkham Knight

Been out less than a week and it slots straight in to number two, one of the most highly anticipated games of the year has without doubt lived up to the hype. Rocksteady Studios along with Warner Bros. have produced a near-flawless game, which I have no doubt will be in a lot of people’s top ten list when they sit down at the end of the year. The previous Batman games were brilliant and they’ve only gone and done it again, with the addition of the Batmobile and a larger city to explore, the producers have created a stunning game in terms of both gameplay and the visuals. Flying around Gotham, coming up against the well-known super villains such as The Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, whilst teaming up with Robin, Nightwing and Catwomen; giving the gamer a superb experience.

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

There was only one game that was going to take our top spot and it has to be The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Let alone 2015, its one of the best games we’ve seen and played in a long time. It defines the RPG genre and the developers down at CD Projeck Red have produced one of the most convincing fantasy open-worlds, full of quests and land to explore; be it run, sail or ride. CD Projeck Red are putting out a free DLC each week to give the gamer consistency something new to sink their teeth into, as well as two massive expansions expected later in the year. The storyline is amazing to say the least, put together with the gameplay system and ridiculous (in a good way) graphics, this is as good as it gets and I’m sure will be competing for top spot come the end of the year. Kudos CD Projeck Red, Kudos!

Iwata, of Nintendo, fears that competitors may take their NX ideas

Did you ever wonder who Nintendo merely skimmed over the NX during their E3 2015 presentation? Well it seems that the head of Nintendo, Iwata, has all the answers to that!

In a call yesterday, Iwata said “we can’t talk about the NX,”. “If we do, competitors may take our ideas and customers won’t be surprised.” He has also stated that support for the Wii U and 3DS would continue for the time being.

“This would not be beneficial for the company or its shareholders,” Iwata has added. “The NX is new hardware, and will start from 0. However, the 3DS and Wii U have install bases. Immediately cutting off software for previous hardware upon the release of a new machine is inefficient.”

“We will continue making 3DS and Wii software while preparing for the NX. We are prioritizing satisfying customers who purchased the Wii U.”

Hadouken! Nintendo have officially confirmed Street Fighter’s Ryu will be coming to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U in the update.

With last week’s Street Fighter V trailer, we thought we would have to wait a while before being able to play with Ryu but not for Super Smash Bros. owners. For the first time in a Super Smash Bros. game a character from the Street Fighter series will be entering the arena. As well as Ryu, Roy from Fire Emblem and Lucas from Mother 3 will be released as playable characters. During this content update, there will be new Mii fighter costumes, bonus trophies, additional Wii Super Smash Bros. amiibo and new stages, including the Dreamland stage, based on the original stage Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64.

Nintendo are giving its fans a little taster before their E3 conference tomorrow. Expect to hear more information about titles such as Mario Maker, Star Fox for Wii U and Yoshi’s Wooly World.
