And while that’s great for that game, what about Bomb Monkey? Currently, that title is a 3DS eShop exclusive, so it is now essentially in a digital limbo for a now-defunct storefront.īomb Monkey is just one example. That same studio brought us Mutant Mudds, a rad 2D platformer that was also on Nintendo 3DS and eventually made its way to Switch and PlayStation 4. One such example is Bomb Monkey, a quirky little puzzler from developer Renegade Kid. It’s a shame, really, because there was some original content on both platforms that could potentially die with those consoles and, very specifically, die with the 3DS and Wii U eShops. We’ve known about Nintendo’s intention to close down the eShops for both of its Switch predecessors, but the time just seemed to come too soon. As of March 27, 2023, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time, both digital storefronts were officially taken offline, and it felt… a bit sad, to be quite honest.

The phrase “end of an era” could be considered an overused cliché, but there’s no denying that’s what the closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops feels like.
