This feels the same as when i learned miiverse got closed, even if i stopped going on it since 2016 miiverse was fun and was a great and fun time, i made great friends there, it was very sad to see it gettin shut down, i was mostly active in 2013~2015, but i heard that miiverse quite got messy with the people and strange interactions later altough i heard that the main reason was that it was an expensive cost for nintendo to keep it running as they didn't get an income from it, sadly

DLC doesn't always mean the games are less than complete with DLC added on to complete them. only about 25% of games that have DLC are like that. the rest are just add ons to an already complete adventure.

I was about 7 years old when i got my first 3DS when it came out, im 17 now. This is the console i probably have the most attachment to actually, and i can remember regularly checking the eshop and looking at the new games that came out every so often, the music is incredibly nostalgic as well. I can remember downloading demos of games i couldnt afford like Denpa Men, Mutant Mudds and Farm Sim as i usually got games physically. Also as much as people hate it, i think Pokemon Y was a good game, it had good music and a nice story even if it wasnt particularly challenging, but hey its pokemon. Me and my stepsisters, my brothers and their friends all had 3DS’s as well, i can remember playing games like Mario Kart 7 and etc using the download play, using the streetpass plaza, and sending messages over swapnote (i also remember before they disabled spotpass). I would like it if in the future there was a software that replicated the look of the eshop on the 3ds that you could download, even if you couldnt buy games off of it, or even use it as a way to download ROMS. I hope to get a new 3DS xl at some point but sadly itll probably not happen until the end of this year.
