UK retailer GAME have made the strange move of adding £10 to both the Wii U and 3DS versions of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
The Wii U version was originally up for pre-order at £41.99 with the 3DS version costing £29.99. Oddly after the release of both games, the costs of each went up. The Wii U version not costs a staggering £49.99 and the 3DS version costing a burning £39.99. There has been no real reason given to why the prices have went up so sharply.
Daily Video Game writes: "Today eShop has just kicked off a new digital game sale, offering solid discounts on various Capcom’s games for Nintendo Switch and 3DS gamers for a limited time!"
Nintendo will be shutting down the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U completely in 2023. Makes sure to check out these games before they do.
If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.
Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.
This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!
Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.
Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?
There has been.
A lot of it.
Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.
Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.
I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?
N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.
Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.
If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.
It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.
You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.
This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
What's the best Monster Hunter of all time? In a series where half of the titles have the word 'Ultimate' fixed on the end, it can be a difficult decision to make. NL are not averse to difficult decisions though, so have taken it upon theirselves to rank every single Monster Hunter game (yes, even the non-Nintendo ones) to determine which is the very best.
GAME are just insane. In my own town they sell games for more, peripherals for more, consoles for more, second hand games for more and offer LESS for second hand games than THREE other shops in the same precinct. What the HELL do they think the outcome of that will be?
Pre-order discounts aren't exactly new.
...Wat. That's pretty cheap. Do other retailers do this? I can't imagine what extending the price range will gain outside of a short term extra profit.
Another thing to add to the list of reasons why GAME is dying.
Game has always been shite. Wouldn't expect anything less.
