Does anyone have any 3DS Eshop game recommendations I need to buy before the closure? Unique stuff that can't be obtained on other platforms?

There is a general masterlist https://old.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/su4w7k/with_the_eshop_shutting_down_here_is_a_quick/ https://old.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/su4w7k/with_the_e... There are also some free tools and games worth getting - Bravely Second Demo (story that's not avaialable in the full release + exclusives you can transfer over) - Pokémon Sun & Moon - Special Demo Version (Ash-Greninja pokémon that you can only get here and transfer over to the full game) - Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Special Demo (Glalie pokémon that you can only get here and transfer over to the full game) - Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter. Pokémon Bank will be free (currently $5/year) BUT the Poké Transporter app can be only downloaded from INSIDE the Bank app which only works if you have a sub... All NEW downloads will be impossible after the date so you better get the Transporter app now (pay the $5 for the remaining days) or else > doesn't bother and just pirate it. But honestly the writing is on the wall for the Pokémon Bank... - Save Data Transfer Tool (permanently move, not copy, save data files from a physical cartridge to the 3DS - 3DS F2P digital Pokémon games (Pokémon Picross, Pokémon Rumble World, Pokémon Shuffle) - Flipnote Studio 3D and Picross Zelda (Nintendo My Rewards games but you can still get them)

  Thanks! Don't think I'll ever care that much about Pokemon but good to know, and I'll take a look at that list!

Attack of the Friday Monsters has shown up in a lot of recent “cool stuff on the 3DS eShop that isn’t available anywhere else” retrospectives. It’s worth noting though that it’s trivially easy to softmod a 3DS and install any game you like from archive.org, as well as a bunch of cool homebrew. I’m torn, personally—I of course want to support the developer, but buying something in the knowledge that I’ll lose the ability to re-download it almost immediately feels like it’s just encouraging the apathy the commercial games industry has towards preservation.

Shovel Knight looks stylish with the 3d effect and your inventory on the touch screen, but it's definitely available on other platforms.
