Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale, Crimson Shroud, and Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword were lauded just for existing, and they delivered enjoyable adventures to those players who discovered them. In some cases, games on these platforms didn’t always make innovative use of their touch capabilities, but that didn’t stop devs from getting inventive with their stories and concepts. Developers experimented with touchscreen and dual-screen functionality, sure, but there was more to it than that. The closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops feels like a blow for some titles more than others. Those games were praised for their inventive and entertaining gameplay, and their future is now practically nonexistent. Games like Dillon’s Rolling Western, an acclaimed strategy title, and the Pushmo series were exclusive to that era of Nintendo consoles too. But that was just one game that is, as of right now, essentially lost forever. Though this isn’t meant to knock Bomb Monkey, maybe that type of game simply doesn’t hold much value to some. 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.
