jailbreaking 3ds is a very straightforward process which will allow you to install whatever whenever without having to pay nintendo for the privilege of getting stuff for a no longer supported system

I recommend this comprehensive step by step guide, by my estimation the whole process is around 2h long

FE Fates is already gone FYI.

I might still get EO Nexus, but not sure if I want it that much.

And yet HShop will exist forever.

Dragon Quest Monsters Terry's Wonderland and DQM Iru and Luca's Marvelous Mysterious Key. But A) you need a translation if you want to play those in English so you might as well just emulate anyway and B) the GBC versions of those games are infinitely better.

Elminage Original is already available on Steam, btw.

New Wii U and 3DS enjoyers locked out of online features

Earlier this year, Nintendo announced it would be ending "online play and other functionality" that uses online communication for both 3DS and Wii U as of "early April" 2024.

Now, in an update, it's been discovered that new users can no longer go online in any games on 3DS or Wii U. This information comes from a lengthy blog post on Pretendo, which mentions how this change took place "some time in late December 2023".

If you try to play online with a Nintendo account from here on out, it will reportedly result in 'Error code 106-0303' on Wii U and 'Error Code 006-0303' on 3DS. This is due to new accounts "no longer being synchronized" with servers.

There's few hours left to add your 3ds/wiiu spotpass dumps for the archival project.

Lol. The PS3 store is still up. Imagine being the richest company in Japan and doing this.
