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!

ocelot071171d ago

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?

MadLad1171d ago (Edited 1171d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot071171d ago

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?

MadLad1171d ago (Edited 1171d ago )

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.

pietro12121171d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX1171d ago

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.

XxINFERNUSxX1170d ago

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...

Capcom sales update: Monster Hunter: World at 11.9 million, Resident Evil 5 at 11 million, more

Capcom has updated its mega-list of “Platinum Titles“—titles which have sold over one million units—providing various notable updates.

PhoenixUp2283d ago

“Monster Hunter: World has sold 11.9 million copies
Resident Evil 5 has sold 11 million copies across all SKUs
Resident Evil 6 has sold 8.8 million copies across all SKUs
Resident Evil 4 has sold 7.4 million copies across all SKUs
Resident Evil 7: biohazard has sold 6.1 million copies
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate has sold three million copies
Street Fighter V has sold 2.9 million copies”

Nice numbers all around

However Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite selling 1.3 million still seems underwhelming especially in comparison Injustice 2 sales. Even a new IP like Arms somehow sold more even when it was on only one platform compared to the storied MvC’s latest installment

capjacksparrow2283d ago

Resident Evil 5 and 6 sold more than 4 and 7!? Gross.

pyroxxx2283d ago

RE5 is decent and re7 has been out for 2-3 years, but I agree. 4 selling less than 5 and 6 is especially strange,.. I've bought it like 4-5 times lol.

Heavenly King2283d ago

RE5 is actually really cool. With RE6 they tried to re-invent the wheel with the "3rd person action" genre and they made the wheel octagonal instead. LOL

Lore2283d ago

5 sold so well due to co-op. If they make RE8 play like RE2 but can play with a friend it will sell even better in my opinion.

IamTylerDurden12283d ago (Edited 2283d ago )

Operation Raccoon City also outsold Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2. Raccoon City was a terrible game, it's disheartening to see it outsell a classic like Devil May Cry.

kevnb2283d ago (Edited 2283d ago )

5 was a killer co op game, people bought 6 hoping for the same. Also sales for a sequel often rely on the previous entry.

RE5 & RE6 have widely been known to be Capcom’s best selling games for the longest time. Why are you acting surprised?

Monster Hunter: World is notable among various other things to be the one game that proved to be more successful than them however.

Bleucrunch2283d ago

that is your opinion...I love RE, but 5 was ok , 6 I didn't even play past the first hour...4 was a game changer and the BEST one thus far. 7 was meh.

PhoenixUp2283d ago

How is it an opinion that RE5 & RE6 were Capcom’s best selling games? Numbers aren’t opinions they’re pure facts.

Vandamme212283d ago

Oh wow Street Fighter 5 sold 2.9 million. Now give me Street Fighter 6.

solideagle2283d ago (Edited 2283d ago )

SF IV sold 3.4 and SFV sold 2.9. not bad for an exculsive, I thought SF IV was around 5+ million.

I thought Devil May Cry was 5 million+ but apparently none of DMC reached 5M. :O

kevnb2283d ago

It’s on two platforms, how is it exclusive? It wouldn’t have sold very much on Xbox anyway.

IamTylerDurden12283d ago

I love how certain people bashed SFV claiming it was an epic flop. In reality SFV sold decently at around 3 million units thus far. Dead Rising 4 truly was a flop at a cool 1.0 million. Jus sayin..

HeisenbergX2283d ago (Edited 2283d ago )

RE5 and 6 sold that much .. jesus

We should be glad we even got RE7 and RE2 Remake and got Capcom to return RE franchise to it's roots !

FallenAngel19842283d ago

Both Resident Evil: Revelations titles returned to the series roots before RE7

HeisenbergX2283d ago

yeah kind of but not really

CorndogBurglar2283d ago

No. Not really. They were steps in a better direction for sure. But they still didn't feel quite right.

Heavenly King2283d ago

They sold like crap so nope. Turning of tides is made with money (corporate speaking). so no money, no change.

TricksterArrow2283d ago

Jessica, Quint, Keith and Raymond as well as the plot of "become a terrrorist to get funding against terrorism" (and I'm not even gonna start on the Orochimaru-mind-swap-with-pris oner-from-the-island plotline from Revelations 2) is horrible. 7 is the one that should take all the glory, and Remake 2 for refining it.

It's utterly disappointing to see RE6 as Capcom's third best selling game all-time. Do people just buy any that's shoved in their face? Market a turd enough and i guess it'll sell..

Neonridr2283d ago

why is it that one of the worst versions of Resident Evil sold the most? :P

Guess it was all the fans of 4 who were suckered into the next entry.

chris2352283d ago

mh world only 12 million? what a huge disappointment. i am talking about the gamers who ignored this masterpiece.
