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.

Castlevania keeps staying in the news recently. After the latest announcement of the Netflix adaptation getting a spin-off series to follow on the success of the original show, it has now been hinted that a newly revised collection of the original Game Boy Advance games could be released in the near future.

The Castlevania Advance Collection has yet to be announced by its makers Konami, however, the unannounced collection was rated by the Australian Classification Board on June 18, receiving the ‘M’ rating for its fantasy violence.

The Castlevania Advance Collection is composed of three games that been critically acclaimed all around, with each game scoring 91 on Metacritic. Like most games in the Castlevania franchise, they are action-adventure gothic horror video games revolving around vampire hunters set to take down Count Dracula and his minions.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon was released in 2001, set in 1830, and follows the protagonist Nathan Graves, who’s following the footsteps of his deceased parents and his mentor Morris Baldwin take on Dracula. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance followed next in 2002. It is set in 1748 and follows Simon Belmont’s descendant Juste Belmont, who is trying to save his kidnapped friend Lydie from Dracula’s castle. The final game, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, took on a less conventional setting. Released in 2003, this Castlevania game is set in 2035 and follows teenager Soma Cruz who has occult powers.

These Game Boy Advance games have only been re-released singularly before on the Wii U console back in 2015, making this Castlevania Advance Collection a rare treat indeed.

Konami has previously released other Castlevania collections; the Castlevania Anniversary Collection was released in 2019 and featured eight older Castlevania games that were originally released on consoles such as NES, SNES, Game Boy, and Mega Drive. It has also released other themed compilations of its retro classics, such as Contra Anniversary Collection and Anniversary Collection: Arcade Classics, all of which can be found on Xbox One, PS4, Switch and PC.

Castlevania Advance Collection would be the fourth instalment of this series.
