29 I migliori giochi eShop per 3DS che dovresti ottenere prima che scompaiano per sempre
The 3DS eShop is closing down, after over a decade of service. It’s not a huge surprise, but it is a huge bummer, because that means that we only have until March 2023 to purchase some of the best games on the console — the ones that were only ever available on the 3DS eShop.
While the 3DS ship begins to slowly sink, anche se, we’ve compiled our pick of the very best cargo to save, so that you can grab it and run.
Just be aware that you can’t use credit cards to pay for 3DS eShop games after May 23rd, 2022, and you won’t be able to add funds via gift cards affatto past August 29th, 2022. Così, now’s the time to load up on gift cards while you can (e, if you fancy, get a nifty 10% off with our eShop gift card discount code — details below!)

tu absolutely need to get BoxBoy and all of its sequels on 3DS, and you won’t even have to shell out that much for these seminal puzzle-platformers: Each game in the trilogy (BoxBoy, BoxBoxBoy, e Bye-Bye BoxBoy) is under $5 / £5.
There is a physical release of BoxBoy, but you’re never going to get it — it’s a Japan exclusive, and it’ll cost you several hundred bucks, even without shipping. Anche, it’s region-locked. It does come with Japan-exclusive, super-rare amiibo Qbby, anche se, so maybe it’s worth it?

You absolutely need to get Pull Blox (oppure Pushmo in Nord America) on your 3DS, stat. This innovative little puzzle-platforming game is all about pushing and pulling blocks to create the platforms yourself, and it’s a lot trickier than it sounds. It’s also cute as heck, with bright colours, and a chunky little player-character called Mallo, who squashes, stretches, and bounces around each level like a little marshmallow.
Make sure to also grab the sequels, which are just as good: Fallblox (AKA Crashmo), e Fullblox (Stretchmo). Non, we don’t know why the names are so different, entrambi. It’s a bloody nightmare.
There’s also Pullblox World (Pushmo World) on Wii U eShop, but that’s for another list.

Level-5’s 3DS days were, col senno di poi, some of their best work. Liberation Maiden is a collaboration between their publishing arm and Suda51’s Grasshopper Manufacture as the developers, as part of the Guild01 compilation in Japan that also included Aero Porter, Crimson Shroud, e Weapon Shop de Omasse (all of which are on this list, naturally).
Liberation Maiden is a short-but-sweet mech-shooter in which you play as a schoolgirl who is elected President after her father (the former President) gets assassinated. And then, as the President is usually expected to do, she has to fight an invading force. In a mech suit. Did we mention that it’s a Suda51 game?

Every now and again, Game Freak gets let out of the Pokémon cage for a quick run around the park, and in that time they make some weird and wonderful games. HarmoKnight is one of their best: A rhythm-platformer created by James Turner, who you might remember as the first Westerner to create official Pokémon designs and the Art Director for Sword and Shield… or more simply as “the guy who invented that ice-cream Pokémon”.
HarmoKnight is great. Go play HarmoKnight.

Poor Pit! He hasn’t been acknowledged by Nintendo (other than in Smash Bros., which doesn’t count) in ten years. Bene, at least you can play the original Kid Icaro on 3DS, and show the lil guy some love.
This isn’t the solo way to play Kid Icarus, naturalmente, but all of the 3D Classics series added stereoscopic 3D making them unique emulations that can’t be experienced in quite the same way on any other platform — even though a lot of them are on the Nintendo Switch Online service. And with that in mind…

…You should probably download this 3D remaster of Kirby’s Adventure, troppo! This early Kirb-platformer is not the best use of 3D, and it doesn’t use the bottom screen at all — which is a wasted opportunity, if you ask us — but it’s still a brilliant game, and it’s worth grabbing to hang out with the old-school pink puffball and having popping out at you a bit. Anche, it has a pink border! Rosa!!

Remember how we said that Game Freak sometimes gets let out of the Pokémon cage? Here’s another example: The incredible, weird Solitaire-meets-horse racing game that is Potrei fare lo stesso per Wii U. It’s a simple, yet addictive premise, accompanied by appealingly chibi visuals, and also you get to play a horse matchmaker and give your horses hilarious names like ‘Obi-Ham Baloney’.
Cosa non è da amare?

Picross!! Everyone loves it. And everyone also loves Zelda. What if they got squished together?
That’s the idea here in this My Nintendo-only game that takes iconic images from Cronaca di Eiyuden and turns them into Picross puzzles. If you have a ton of Platinum Points, you should spend 1,000 of them on this, and then hope that Nintendo makes more strange crossovers like it in the future.

Poor Phoenix, and poor Apollo — their digital-only exploits are soon to be lost forever, locked away in the prison that is the 3DS eShop. Dual Destinies marks a fantastic turn in the Ace Attorney series towards glossy 3D visuals and buio narrativa, plus the introduction of new lawyer Athena Cykes and that one case where you have to defend an orca that’s been accused of murder.
If only they’d re-release this one, eh? HINT HINT HINT

Another game in Level-5’s game jam-like Guild collection that was released as a standalone in the West, L'attacco dei mostri del venerdì is a peek into rural Japanese life in the 1970s that you simply won’t find elsewhere — except for designer Kaz Ayabe’s other series, Boku no Natsuyasumi, but that’s Japan-only.
If you love the pastoral magical realism of Ghibli movies like My Neighbor Totoro, you have to give Attack of the Friday Monsters a try.
