Can you PM me a link?

Tbf Raceway was there too. Aside from the N64 M Gap,  DS Mario Circuit's skybox was labeled N64MarioRaceway in the files.

Data mines continue to feed the masses
Kinda surprised you didn't predict that though. Even if you hate leaks, you must've seen the Waluigi Mii outline. How could this NOT have come?

Any certified gamer already ones the peak of both consoles lifetimes.

And alot of these are on Switch already, if you were smart about it, nothing's changed at all.

Also, how is this topic NOT locked yet?

I mean, you can purchase it from non-Nintendo devices still. Nobody would open up their 3DS to buy DLC for a separate console though.

It is finished. It's interesting to note that it coincides with the next Direct today on Tears of the Kingdom.

In any case, the last major 3DS game came out in 2017. Alot of the people here are kinda young(myaelf included), so I can understand being upset about this, it being their first console death and everything.
But that garbage is finally gone, massive W for the future of gaming. Goodbye Shovelware! You can't act like you haven't bought all the good games already at this point.

Nothing. Nintendo announced that the 3DS and WiiU Eshops were closing ages ago, this is just a coping topic.

The word every, by definition, would mean reaching into every corner of their history. You can't say "every" and then skip something. In any case, if it wasn't clearly obvious, not only would it be mad expensive to make, it'd also kill off developing any other console ever. "Oh, this one can play every game ever, we don't need to spend money on that new one that can't." That's not a good business idea.

Hey, I have a question.  How long do you think coming up with a console idea, let alone a good one, takes? To be completely realistic, the next console could easily be a 4DS or Wii3 if they wanted it to be. 7 years of Switch, probably going to become 8 or 9 years for Switch? We have no clue what's coming next, it could definitely be one of those 2. The reason that it probably isn't one of those 2 is because the Switch is doing really well. At most one more generation is going to come and go before the attempt to have two consoles. And games die eventually. They can't just bring back old ones over and over, especially when they aren't doing anything to help the new console last longer. Nobody is going to go buy a 3DS or WiiU because they play DS and Wii games, you buy it because it's going to play new games. The same applies here. Retro games aren't a necessity for any console, they're a tie in you can do to make easy money, but it's not a priority or even compulsary. Making a 4DS doesn't necessarily mean it will be able to play 3DS games. It'd be highly likely, but not 100% guaranteed. There's something else that keeps hopping in and out of my mind, and while it's back, I should mention before it takes a holiday again.

I keep coming back to the next 3D Mario game in production. This whole "new direction" thing could apply to the console as a whole. TotK is so similar to the first Zelda(in timeline). The Switch 1st party games have mainly been about ending the loops: Star Allies, Metroid Dread, Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 3, Metroid Prime 4, Fire Emblem Engage, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. All these series will be starting a new chapter on whatever the next console is. Look at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe too. What could Mario Kart 10 even be but a massive downgrade? It'd need to be a fresh start, from the ground up. That could apply to the console too. It might receive a couple remakes, obviously, but with the stories the first party games have been going for, they're all rebooting. It's possible the next console will be the same. We don't really know at this point, it's still 2 years out. It could be the beginning for new Virtual Console, or it could be the end; only time will tell.

But hey. That's just a theory..... A Game Theory!!!

You really gonna count 'em down? There's like forty channels on Youtube doing that already, y'know. Just saying.
What could you even possibly have missed by now?
Kid Icarus Uprising
Xenoblade 1 3D
Mario & Luigi Dream Team
Paper Mario Sticker Star(idk)
Mario 3D Land
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon(The rest of the 3DS Pokemon games are garbage, do not buy any besides ORAS)
At this point, you should be able to have all the games you know you want to play. There can't be much that interests you left. Even then, physical copies do still exist. And should be fairly cheap. But again, there can't be much left that you actually like or want to try.

That's still a useless message y'know. Put something useful in it please.

They aren't closing them because they hate them, they're closing them because it isn't profitable to keep them open. Those consoles aren't doing any numbers and didn't have any to begin with. And the Switch model is still doing really well, they wouldn't go back to the two console flop that happened 7 years ago. They'd do a second Switch first. And again, te only games left are shitty shovelware. What is your problem? Don't you understand that things that aren't making money get pulled?
And we don't need a whole ass new console just to play a single game, they could remake it whenever. The only reason they don't is because those games are literally garbage.

Also, triple posting is against the rules, and all 3 of those could be in the same message.
This message specifically is just emoji spam and is therefore completely useless.

Not this again.

Let's run over something called facts, yes?
1. You can still buy physical games.
2. None of the 3DS and WiiU games will be as expensive as Gamecube games. The reason those games are expensive is because they aren't making them anymore and it's hard to find legitimate copies because they're so freaking old. They aren't making copies of 3DS and WiiU games anymore, but they're a ton of them easily available, because the console died fairly recently(3 years ago), and the massive drop off once people realized these things were done means there's plenty of extra physical to go around.
3. One I haven't realized until Jirard made his video: A shit ton of games have been delisted from the Shops over the 10+ years they've existed. A ton have already been gone for 6-7 years at this point. It doesn't make sense fussing over the ones leaving in a week, we know ahead of time how long we have. The delisted games didn't get any sort of notice; you'd update your console and poof, they'd be gone.
4. As long as you downloaded it once it's in your library unless you delete it. The shop going down doesn't just erase it from your downloads.
5. If you've been grabbing games you wanted already, the games mostly level are shovelware and random indies. The amount of games left to "lose" at this point are fairly slim, that is, if you've been buying up games regularly, knowing time was limited.
6. For the love of whatever God you serve, things that sell bad die fast. The 3DS was meh and WiiU an utter disaster. Their predecessors didn't have that issue, and so stayed open for eternities because they had a massive userbase. No sane person is using their 3DS or WiiU as their main console in 2023. Heck, they haven't been using it as their main system since 2018.
7. If you want to go the illegal route, the ROMs are already available online. Do that.
8. Split consoles equals a split playerbase. The division is what killed the 3DS and WiiU. The Switch is stomping everything by itself. They wouldn't just U-turn back to splitting up their playerbase after what happened last time. They aren't doing a 4DS or Wii3, ever, probably.
9. You've had 10 years to buy a 3DS and WiiU. Sucks to suck if you got it in 2020.
10. You don't need separate topics for this, it's a waist of space. I also need a 10th point because 9 isn't a good place to stop.

There, done with this thing for now.

New Kong incoming?

Did....you read his message properly? He said Red Shell, literally one of the first things he listed, right with the blue one.

That isn't really "everything" then, but ok

I mean, why make a topic for it if your just gonna name everythig yourself? It'd work better as one of those "I specifically skipped a couple things, what are they?". And also better in full 3d, ofc.
Like grab a Youtube vid or something so you can actually see the stuff in the background and all the little details in the ground and everything. Otherwise it's completely impossible to, as the name says, "Name everything in Koopa Cape", because the 7 minimap is missing alot of things.

That's from a perspective of subjectiveness actually existing in law. Which it doesn't, but that's pretty obvious. I don't think that excuse would hold either? Otherwise we can switch out "Mario" for any other word in the dictionary and say it's okay. And you already know which ones I mean.
But atleast it'll never get there, so...

My guy, that has nothing to do with it. This isn't a "because they feel like", this is literally illegal. Yeah it'd be deleted, but not for no reason, because it's a crime. Every company does this, Capcom, Square Enix. Sony, Microsoft. Criminimals commit crimes.
