"Attend a house party hosted by a bunch of 30-something bachelors and you'll find three things, without fail: a copy of Spaced: Season 1 on DVD, a filthy but-somehowunused toasted sandwich maker, and Mario Kart.
Specifically, Mario Kart on N64. We've had seven plumber-based karting titles since then, yet none have endured as party games in the way the SNES and N64 entries have.
Whether it was Double Dash's weird dual-karting set-up, or the Wii game's enormo-tracks and sub-par battle mode, we've had plenty of decent Mario Karts over the last ten-and-a-bit years but no classics. But having had a play of the now officially named Mario Kart 7, we're hopeful that could change soon.", writes CVG.
Mario Kart 7 has been unexpectedly updated for the first time in more than a decade.
Even after a decade, this handheld iteration of Mario Kart is still magic.
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...
