Rest in peace to the Wii U and 3DS eshops. It really feels like the end of an era. Hopefully Nintendo gets a bit of a soul with their next console, unlike the Switch. It will be very hard to imagine having the same level of nostalgia for the Switch that I have for the 3DS and Wii U. And thank you everybody very much for the support and outflow of comments on this video, I would never have expected this video to blow up the way it did. And if you are curious, it's very hard to choose favorites among these but I would probably choose the first 3-hot streak of 2015 as mine. Honorable mentions to the wii shop, july 2014, and may 2016. If you want to listen to the May 2019 eShop song that was released after this video, here is a link th-cam.com/video/dlATDrdpK0o/w-d-xo.html I also have a channel dedicated to uploading just video game music compilations, so you might enjoy what I upload there. Although I have not uploaded in about a year, and I might not upload again to it. But regardless, if you are interested feel free to check it out th-cam.com/channels/7oqWCUyX_NYW4mWBjUPcAw.html
Hey s'cuse me, do you have a link to the original files you used in this video please ? TH-cam re-encode audio to 224kbps, and I guess the source is higher ^^' Thanks !
Satoru Iwata's era really was something else, NIntendo in his reign is somewhat vibrant and fun, casually strolling into Eshop really captures that feeling of vacation with your family to the dept store browsing for stuff to buy and have memories with, such a shame the Eshop we had now is not like it's predecessor
I agree, Nintendo in that era has such a unique and vibrant energy to it that set it far apart from its competitors, I wonder if things are different because of Iwata's passing? Maybe they left out music from the Switch's menu for respect or something
4:03 This was my childhood... I remember looking at the eShop catalogue searching for free games from time to time, and then downloading some random demo versions of cool looking games. This is way too nostalgic ☺ Thank you Nintendo.
Today is the dreadful day...I don't know about you all, but I'm listening to this and getting pretty emotional. Thanks for all the amazing memories, Nintendo. The 3DS will always be my favorite system. Long live the 3DS and Wii-U! 💔🥺
This may sound mean spirited but this might return next generation IF whatever comes next flops. I believe while heartily that Nintendo is at their most creative for a system when their struggling. I believe the Wii u and gamecube both show this. Both consoles were extremely creative and this isn’t just about the games. Each console had so much charm put into it and it holds up even today. While the switch is ultra successful but because of that they no longer need to try as hard to get money. So sadly for Nintendo to reach another golden era… they may need to have another Wii U like flop in sales. But if that happens, true hardcore Nintendo fans will have another amazing generation too look forward to.
@@peachykins8283 The thing about the 3DS is was that it was the first Nintendo handheld that felt like you were playing more console level games on the go. You had Mario Kart 7, Mario 3D Land, New Leaf, Link Between World's.. and many other games that while of course weren't as impressive as what was on the Wii U they certainly felt like games that would have been close to comparable to GameCube quality in how they looked. None of the previous handhelds felt like you were getting that level of quality in the games like the console games
June 2011 was and is the most nostalgic for me. I'm a 21 year old man, and this, this hits harder than a semi truck. Granted I played the Wii First, but the 3DS is where it truly began.
Me too. It was my first ever own handhelt. As the OG DS had only my siblings. I miss the Eshop. I bought games for it. And it's just sad tha Nintendo just gose downhill. The Eshop just dosen't have a song or something. And Nintendo is going downhill in General
3ds was probably the best thing to ever happen to me, my mom bought one on day one and for a long time that was all we had, then a year later i got one for my birthday and i spent most of my day all the time playing it with no headphones, full volume, in the living room And you know what? Streetpass plaza games are still fun in 2022
I never knew these songs were so temporary. I never even heard some of these because of it. Of the ones I'm familiar with, the June 2011 and July 2014 songs are tugging at my heartstrings.
@@3482-h3sYea, I got my Wii U Pre-Owned from a GameStop in late 2019, and I would use the eshop a lot, and the July 2014 theme was always playing. So nostalgic. I think Nintendo updated it to a newer theme though. Good times.
@@mace4978 yes, but that's an unnecessarily lengthy and pointless process, since it will just choose a different theme eventually. It'd be much better if I could just choose in the menu.
Damn, this really takes me back... The Wii U may not have been the best era for Nintendo success and sales-wise, but I will always look back on it as one of, if not my favorite, era of gaming. The low sales of the Wii U allowed all Nintendo fans to be united, and a good amount of exclusives as well as services like Miiverse allowed me to make a lot of great memories during those years. The Switch is a better system, but the era of the Wii U is something I’ll always look back on fondly. I’ll never forget you, Wii U. Thanks for the memories.
Wiiu/3ds era was the best! I was a teenager throughout it and Nintendo felt like such a tight knit community back then, especially with Reggie and Iwata. Too bad Bowser put Reggie in another castle
So true. The games were/are quality and the culture was chill. I don't understand the arguement that there were "no games" for the WiiU. It's a bandwagon statement. Plus the WiiU virtual console puts to shame whatever the switch is doing.
I remember when the Eshop was something unique. It was an actual experience in of itself when you went to buy or get something. It was always so cute to see a physical representation of the games downloading with the data being put into a little box, that gets gift wrapped and put into your 3ds menu! It may have not felt personal, but i will say it felt a lot greater when I could get a game from the Eshop and once a game was downloaded, rush to the 3ds menu like it was christmas morning to open the game i bought. I only hope the Switch 2 will provide the experience the switch couldnt.
where has time gone, only yesterday it was 2015, i would stay up till 11pm way past my bed time, the portable ac with it's neon blue lights blasting cold refreshing air into our desert apartment, my sibling slept on the lower bunk, I would download a demo, or purchase something if I had some money leftover, the little ehsop character would download my game while the catchy music played, and now I'm here, 6 years in the future
4:01 My first time on the Nintendo eShop on the 3DS... (Yes I'm an OG) Also, that version plays if the 3DS hasn't downloaded the current eShop track yet, and the one in the cache expired (or the cache was cleared). EDIT: Wow this comment blew up
You will be missed Nintendo eShop. Man I will miss the feeling of how amazing it felt playing the 3DS throughout it's main life cycle. Honestly think this is the last generation we'll have a true retro feeling handheld.
Came here on the last day, browsing the items in the store. Rest easy 3ds and wiiU, you will be remembered. If only the switch had as much life as you did.
under an hour left until the 3DS/Wii U eshops close thank you for everything i want to hope that the next console has a fraction of the soul these ones did
R.I.P 3DS and Wii U eShop. It sucks that things have to come to an end. Especially when the infrastructure to keep them running probably costs pennies to Nintendo...
The Switch is my first Nintendo console, and it saddens me knowing that several years from now I won't be able to feel the same nostalgia that everyone else is feeling in the comments from their first Nintendo console's eShop themes.
Yeah, the Wii U home menu with all of the Miis running in and talking about stuff from Miiverse just oozed charm and personality. The Switch is just... so much more hollow.
It's alright Walrus. The Switch was my first Nintendo console besides the Wii, but I never grew up on the DS or the Wii U's eShops. So You're not alone with the lack of nostalgia towards these past Nintendo memories.
June 2011 is so nostalgic for me, I remember when I got my 3DS, I spent hours and hours browsing the eShop downloading demos and looking for some cheap game, this song is part of my childhood.
27:53 **SMASH 4 HYPE TRAIN NOSTALGIA INTENSIFIES** (and also a little bit too of triple deluxe don't know why! but...pretty sure not many people cares about it anymore lol...) Edit: WELP looks like with chuggaaconroy's recent let's play of triple deluxe now this is starting to change a lill bit!
You can clear eshop data it won't delete game data. It would restore the eshop to this nostalgic song. This is nostalgia. When I got my first 3ds at 2012 when I was 10. 4:03
I played this on repeat during the pandemic while chilling on a minecraft server with friends. It was a strange time, but it did create some nice memories
There is no music in the Switch’s eShop. Actually, there isn’t any music in the system at all, not even while making Miis! There isn’t a streetpass function, there isn’t Miiverse, play coins, camera, we don’t even get a simple internet browser! We have to pay for online and most of the Nintendo games are Wii U ports, Wii U sequels, or flat-out not fun like 1-2 Switch and Arms (IMO). Sure, we do get good original games, but in my opinion the mediocre outweighs the decent. The controllers are really poor quality and either lag or drift. In all of my years playing on Nintendo consoles, I have never had so many issues with the controllers... No love was put into the Switch, unlike the Wii U, 3DS, or most other Nintendo consoles. As a Nintendo fan, this genuinely makes me feel sad.
Yeah, but for some consumers, especially young adults, what your describing can be seen as childish. So they focused on the game aspect more than having Netflix or other things on it before games. But now that it's popular they should add some more of the little things.
I mean yeah, I get that some things were bad but as a Nintendo fan. I think they did a good job with the switch the switch was an extremely radical way to do video games so obviously they had to compromise on certain things, the file layout couldn't allow shop music or mii music so they had to compromise. They wanted to do something new I mean if they had StreetPass, most likely it almost would've been just another 3ds and that was all they were doing for years. So they had to be different in a radical way and that leads to certain restrictions. So you cant expect them to give everything of course that would be nice. Also, we got awesome games like Super Mario Odyssey, Mario maker 2, Animal crossing new horizons, Pikmin 4, Smash brothers ultimate, Splatoon 2, Pokemon lets go, And so much more. So honestly I think this is kinda invalid.
@@Sc0ttTh3Fath3r They could have definitely put SOME music in the console. Heck, even the Gamecube from 2001 had music! It’s just that when the 3DS, an old Nintendo portable, trumps this current Nintendo home console in many ways, it objectively makes the Switch look really underwhelming in comparison. They don’t have to copy what they did on the 3DS. I just want the Switch to have SOMETHING at least half as good as what the 3DS and Wii U had. Why did they even get rid of Miiverse? Miiverse turned games into communities! It wasn’t perfect, but had thousands of well crafted drawings that people could spend hundreds of hours observing! I digress. *About the games you mentioned:* Mario Odyssey is great, but is way too easy. Because of the influx in moons, they had to dumb down the challenges to keep the game consistent. However, the visuals, presentation, polish, characters, controls, and worlds are all great! If only it offered a difficulty more similar to other 3D Mario games. Splatoon 2 is basically Splatoon 1, but expanded. I find it really disappointing how one of the most refreshing Wii U games had one of the most uninspired sequels. Splatoon 1 had features that aren’t in Splatoon 2. Also, I have to pay $20 annually to actually play the darn thing... Yeah, I am sticking with the Wii U one. Mario Maker 2 requires me to pay $20 annually to actually play! It doesn’t help that the online the are promoting is laggy as heck. If that wasn’t bad enough they removed features from Mario Maker 1 for seemingly no reason. However, I will say that this version does offer great new additions and it isn’t a bad game. It just feels like with every 2 steps forward with that game, they take 1 step back. I don’t play Pokémon games because at this point the entire series just feels so played out and bland. Like, there isn’t any originality in the games anymore. Every game at this point bow feels devoid of any love or passion, aside for some of the Pokémon designs and music. Whatever though. People can like it though, that’s fine. I just don’t find the idea of buying a GameBoy remake of a game series that has always felt the same very appealing personally. Smash Ultimate... is honestly extremely high quality. I can’t really think of one thing I dislike about it! So many characters, stages, songs! It respects games like Earthbound, Mother 3, F-Zero, Pikmin, and so much more! There is so much customization! I adore Ultimate! It’s near perfect... Unfortunately, I can’t play the game with friends because of the Joy-Con drift... Really, Ultimate is the primary reason anyone should get a Switch! Rather than of being solely a life simulation game, Animal Crossing also tries to be a town builder game, which is never what the series was in the first place. Town building doesn’t blend well with what Animal Crossing was initially. The villagers and dialogue all feel weak. It removed so many features and characters from past entries. The number 1 most talked about thing when it comes to this game are updates... Isn’t that sad? Most of the updates are for things that were in the previous games. They are basically slowly bringing old ideas back without tweaking them and sometimes making them worse! New Horizons is so disappointing. I hope they realize what made Animal Crossing great in the first place and remove this weird 5 star malarkey and make it about forming relationships.
June 2011 is a classic. Remember my holidays browsing the little catalogue, playing Pushmo, waiting to have an update on the next Paper Mario--another story for another time ha ha. Good times that I hope the next console gives me
Rest in peace, Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. The Wii U was my childhood console, I loved playing Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, and Minecraft on it, I remember playing with people online in battle mode, and racing against players on rainbow road. I got a 3DS about 3 years later, with my first game being Art Academy. I later got Mario Kart 7, and i still play it to this day. Smash bros was fun, seeing the different stages from Wii U and 3DS. I loved playing these games. You will never be forgotten, Wii U and 3DS.
goodbye, eshop, in a few hours. farewell to all those childhood memories of scrolling through games I couldn't get, listening to the eshop music and watching the trailers in the eshop. goodbye to a generation.
The 3ds eshop is definitely the best one. The memories of sitting there and scrolling through are great. Also waiting for games to download was the best!
AHHHH IKRRR, but I didnt get any money for games so I just got demos. I remember being really sad when I couldnt play sonic lost worlds anymore since the demo expired, still cant play it till this day :')
Ill miss you 3ds Shop you brought me so much joy in my life and I couldn't be happier I was in the best era of Nintendo I hope Nintendo will bring back the care they used to have.
Before it closes, I leave this comment as a final thank you to the eshop. It served my childhood well it was a store full of like and passion filled games like no other, I still remember when it was fresh where the DSI ware Zenonia 1 was one of the few games on there. RIP, I will miss it as I am unable to visit it due to all 3ds batteries in my access, being expired.
June 2011 hit hard. I remember when the 3DS didn't have an eShop or internet browser. felt like it took them forever to get that out. I was in fourth grade and I got my 3DS and now I'm two years in to college. Time really flies.
Wow…. I actually still can’t get my head around that the Wii U & 3DS eShop’s have actually gone. They have been up ever since I started gaming and it’s kind of unreal and makes me heartbroken that the last part of my childhood gaming has disappeared. 💔
This past year or so, I have been listening to the eShop music almost 24/7. I have countless memories of browsing the eShop late at night. I just want to say thank you Nintendo eShop for providing me with hundreds of games and videos. You will be missed 😔
27:53 and 44:32 hit different I remeber browsing the eshop from time to time to look for demos and when I did get a game I remeber watching it download. I also remember hearing this when I bought the Mario Kart 8 DLC. Good Times R.I.P Nintendo Eshop 2011-2023 you will never be forgotten.
June 2011, aka the OG 3DS eShop theme, is the most nostalgic for me. Awesome memories of waking up on a winter morning on December 2013, the next day after getting my 3DS and browsing the eShop to see what games I could get for my new system. Other eShop themes never hit as hard as this theme for me, and I would actually delete the extra data for the eShop every time before entering so I would always hear that theme. I did that recently too around a week ago and it just felt really nostalgic in a really sad way, knowing that the eShop is closing in March. The 3DS is honestly one of Nintendo's best systems ever made, just behind the N64 and GameCube for me.
RIP Wii U/ 3DS eShop you've been there for not only me but many others out in the world. Doing things like browsing the store with no money listening to it's many songs, Downloading Free To Play games like Steel Diver Sea Wars and Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, Downloading DLC for Super Smash Brothers 4 or Fire Emblem Awaking, Watching the many different videos from Nintendo Directs, Dinosaur Office and The Cat Mario Show, And who could forget about the Virtual Console downloading any old game of your pick for a good price even games that sadly won't make it to the NSO apps like Mario RPG Legend Of The Seven Stars and Mother 3. While the Switch has many good games and it's a good console if you ask me it just lacks that special charm that the Wii U and 3DS had. I just miss this era of Nintendo but I guess modding my 2DS XL wouldn't be such a bad idea now.
June 2011 is the one I remember the most. I’d always just scroll through games for hours looking for game demos and watching game previews for Mario and Luigi: Dream Team
September of 2015 always hits me hard I got my 3ds around that time n this was the first thing I heard, I was almost convinced it was the official theme song , but I used to just put in headphones and look through the shop listening to the music
if Nintendo isn't going to write anymore music for their eShops, then I think they should have a feature on the switch eShop where you can select any music from previous Nintendo shops.
The DS Lite was my very first Nintendo console, and while it didn't have an eShop, it did tempt me to ask for just about every other Nintendo Console that came out alongside/after it around Christmas time as a kid. The Wii, DSi, Wii U, 3DS, I had them all. Listening to the soundtracks each and every one of them brought while browsing for games as a kid is a time I can only beg to go back to, even after all these years. Unfortunately I don't have any of them anymore, just a Switch, and it just doesn't feel the same at all. The silence of not only the shop, but the menus as well, is agonizing after listening to these old tracks. It doesn't even have customizable main menu themes, which the 3DS had, even the DS Lite had livelier colors to choose from other than just black and white. How the Switch can be the single most soulless Nintendo console after almost SIX years just baffles me.
I got mine around August 2013. But I never connected to the E-shop until 2017. I got to hear multiple themes from then on. Great memories, especially with 4:01.
Rest in peace to the Wii U and 3DS eshops. It really feels like the end of an era. Hopefully Nintendo gets a bit of a soul with their next console, unlike the Switch. It will be very hard to imagine having the same level of nostalgia for the Switch that I have for the 3DS and Wii U. And thank you everybody very much for the support and outflow of comments on this video, I would never have expected this video to blow up the way it did. And if you are curious, it's very hard to choose favorites among these but I would probably choose the first 3-hot streak of 2015 as mine. Honorable mentions to the wii shop, july 2014, and may 2016.

There is one missing.
I remember when the Eshop was something unique. It was an actual experience in of itself when you went to buy or get something. It was always so cute to see a physical representation of the games downloading with the data being put into a little box, that gets gift wrapped and put into your 3ds menu!
It may have not felt personal, but i will say it felt a lot greater when I could get a game from the Eshop and once a game was downloaded, rush to the 3ds menu like it was christmas morning to open the game i bought.
I only hope the Switch 2 will provide the experience the switch couldnt.
RIP 3DS eShop, I won't forget your awesome tunes, games and the little mascot guy...
stupid orange bag you made me lose time on the eshop before it shut down
so lonely...
the mascot guy scared me but now im older im not and now i realise how inoccent he is
idk why you scared of the eShop mascot@@jerry-can3120
I can’t handle the nostalgia, it literally hurts
Especially now that they discontinued the 3DS 😔
Why the fuck is everyone talking about 3Ds? I came for wii u,lol,is so underrated

44:32 brings back so many memories
i remember just sitting in the eshop listening to it, to think it was 5 years ago...
also 53:10 is even better
where has time gone, only yesterday it was 2015, i would stay up till 11pm way past my bed time, the portable ac with it's neon blue lights blasting cold refreshing air into our desert apartment, my sibling slept on the lower bunk, I would download a demo, or purchase something if I had some money leftover, the little ehsop character would download my game while the catchy music played, and now I'm here, 6 years in the future

That was back when the street fighter 2 ports came to the eShop. Takes me back 2015/2016
omg i literally came here for 4:01. i feel so nostalgic :')

I’m glad more people feel nostalgic for this music than just me.
@@TreAlmighty that might just be ur heart burn
You're still a child then
Pause the video to hear the switches eshop music
The 3DS and Wii U era was the best thing Nintendo ever did in my opinion. ❤
4:01 My first time on the Nintendo eShop on the 3DS... (Yes I'm an OG)
Also, that version plays if the 3DS hasn't downloaded the current eShop track yet, and the one in the cache expired (or the cache was cleared).
EDIT: Wow this comment blew up
Same here dude, grew up with this I remember getting resident evil revelations, it scared me so much. Damn, that was years ago.
Memories
Man, I really miss that theme and really disliked it when the music changed.
Same here
You need to try hacking your 3ds , its kinda easy you just need the sd card that already is on your 3ds and a pc
44:39 remember that best one
i love it
I think it played in 2018, and it was the best, although I had a Wii U, so maybe that's the reason.
yeah i remember it on wii u and 3ds
YO WHY DOES THIS SLAP ITS A LITERAL E-SHOP SONG
well hello there
You will be missed Nintendo eShop. Man I will miss the feeling of how amazing it felt playing the 3DS throughout it's main life cycle. Honestly think this is the last generation we'll have a true retro feeling handheld.
Came here on the last day, browsing the items in the store. Rest easy 3ds and wiiU, you will be remembered. If only the switch had as much life as you did.
Nothing better than getting a e shop gift card and trying to choose which game to buy. I wish the switch had music
I spent a freakin' hour on that choice, as it was the only E-shop gift card I've ever received lol
Me: wait a minute, nintendo eshop has a soundtrack?
also me: ohh
new nintendo gamer right?
@@estefanogp2041 probably.

R.I.P 3DS and Wii U eShop. It sucks that things have to come to an end.
Especially when the infrastructure to keep them running probably costs pennies to Nintendo...
27:53 If I can recall, I think this is the e-shops music all throughout 2020.
It's something else for me, don't know what...
@@buzzlightyear6960 right now it is "May 2019"
@@buzzlightyear6960 idk if the music is different for different people or what; I have a modded 3ds, so that might explain it. again, idk.
Nah, I think since 2019(?) it was one from 2016, it isn't in this video for some reason
The Switch is my first Nintendo console, and it saddens me knowing that several years from now I won't be able to feel the same nostalgia that everyone else is feeling in the comments from their first Nintendo console's eShop themes.
Sorry dude. Those wee some good times on the Wii U, when me and my friends would spend the whole day playing Mario 3D World, Sm4sh, and Mario Maker.
Yeah, the Wii U home menu with all of the Miis running in and talking about stuff from Miiverse just oozed charm and personality. The Switch is just... so much more hollow.
It's alright Walrus. The Switch was my first Nintendo console besides the Wii, but I never grew up on the DS or the Wii U's eShops. So You're not alone with the lack of nostalgia towards these past Nintendo memories.
@@multipixel6162 Well, I suppose we can both be remorseful over our lack of nostalgia in 5 or so years time, haha.

June 2011 is so nostalgic for me, I remember when I got my 3DS, I spent hours and hours browsing the eShop downloading demos and looking for some cheap game, this song is part of my childhood.
Yesssss!!! 🥲
Crush 3D was my very first demo on the 3DS.
99seconds?
This music hits so hard, especially the 2015 Christmas one. Even something as small as shop music can give you such good memories.
27:53 **SMASH 4 HYPE TRAIN NOSTALGIA INTENSIFIES**
(and also a little bit too of triple deluxe don't know why! but...pretty sure not many people cares about it anymore lol...)
Edit: WELP looks like with chuggaaconroy's recent let's play of triple deluxe now this is starting to change a lill bit!
@Jorge Aviles wow... Seriously ?
Thanks for your comments !
@Jorge Aviles of course lmao... i have a lot of 3ds, 2ds and a wii u too ! it's because i din't play them anymore ! At least for now
@Jorge Aviles a 3ds kiosk yeah !
damn this song brings back memories
That one is by far my favorite one
Y'all had me at 4:01
Bro, just change your console time to 2011 bam
You can clear eshop data it won't delete game data. It would restore the eshop to this nostalgic song. This is nostalgia. When I got my first 3ds at 2012 when I was 10. 4:03
holy fuck this is nostalgic
Or just set the eShop to a region that only has game updates
@@samsundertail6564 Or just change the console year time to any desired year?
2:08 ahhhh good ol' Nintendo DSi. I remember being frustrated while trying to connect to the internet and hearing this always soothed me
I played this on repeat during the pandemic while chilling on a minecraft server with friends.
It was a strange time, but it did create some nice memories
oh my god same!
May 2016 makes me so fucking nostalgic bro. Rest in piece the Wii U (and 3ds) e shop,massive part of my childhood.
There is no music in the Switch’s eShop. Actually, there isn’t any music in the system at all, not even while making Miis! There isn’t a streetpass function, there isn’t Miiverse, play coins, camera, we don’t even get a simple internet browser! We have to pay for online and most of the Nintendo games are Wii U ports, Wii U sequels, or flat-out not fun like 1-2 Switch and Arms (IMO). Sure, we do get good original games, but in my opinion the mediocre outweighs the decent. The controllers are really poor quality and either lag or drift. In all of my years playing on Nintendo consoles, I have never had so many issues with the controllers...
No love was put into the Switch, unlike the Wii U, 3DS, or most other Nintendo consoles. As a Nintendo fan, this genuinely makes me feel sad.
This comment should be read more.
Yeah, but for some consumers, especially young adults, what your describing can be seen as childish. So they focused on the game aspect more than having Netflix or other things on it before games. But now that it's popular they should add some more of the little things.
I mean yeah, I get that some things were bad but as a Nintendo fan. I think they did a good job with the switch the switch was an extremely radical way to do video games so obviously they had to compromise on certain things,
the file layout couldn't allow shop music or mii music so they had to compromise. They wanted to do something new I mean if they had StreetPass, most likely it almost would've been just another 3ds and that was all they were doing for years. So they had to be different in a radical way and that leads to certain restrictions.
So you cant expect them to give everything of course that would be nice.
Also, we got awesome games like Super Mario Odyssey, Mario maker 2, Animal crossing new horizons, Pikmin 4, Smash brothers ultimate, Splatoon 2, Pokemon lets go, And so much more. So honestly I think this is kinda invalid.
@@Sc0ttTh3Fath3r They could have definitely put SOME music in the console. Heck, even the Gamecube from 2001 had music! It’s just that when the 3DS, an old Nintendo portable, trumps this current Nintendo home console in many ways, it objectively makes the Switch look really underwhelming in comparison.
They don’t have to copy what they did on the 3DS. I just want the Switch to have SOMETHING at least half as good as what the 3DS and Wii U had. Why did they even get rid of Miiverse? Miiverse turned games into communities! It wasn’t perfect, but had thousands of well crafted drawings that people could spend hundreds of hours observing! I digress.
*About the games you mentioned:*
Mario Odyssey is great, but is way too easy. Because of the influx in moons, they had to dumb down the challenges to keep the game consistent. However, the visuals, presentation, polish, characters, controls, and worlds are all great! If only it offered a difficulty more similar to other 3D Mario games.
Splatoon 2 is basically Splatoon 1, but expanded. I find it really disappointing how one of the most refreshing Wii U games had one of the most uninspired sequels. Splatoon 1 had features that aren’t in Splatoon 2. Also, I have to pay $20 annually to actually play the darn thing... Yeah, I am sticking with the Wii U one.
Mario Maker 2 requires me to pay $20 annually to actually play! It doesn’t help that the online the are promoting is laggy as heck. If that wasn’t bad enough they removed features from Mario Maker 1 for seemingly no reason. However, I will say that this version does offer great new additions and it isn’t a bad game. It just feels like with every 2 steps forward with that game, they take 1 step back.
I don’t play Pokémon games because at this point the entire series just feels so played out and bland. Like, there isn’t any originality in the games anymore. Every game at this point bow feels devoid of any love or passion, aside for some of the Pokémon designs and music. Whatever though. People can like it though, that’s fine. I just don’t find the idea of buying a GameBoy remake of a game series that has always felt the same very appealing personally.
Smash Ultimate... is honestly extremely high quality. I can’t really think of one thing I dislike about it! So many characters, stages, songs! It respects games like Earthbound, Mother 3, F-Zero, Pikmin, and so much more! There is so much customization! I adore Ultimate! It’s near perfect... Unfortunately, I can’t play the game with friends because of the Joy-Con drift... Really, Ultimate is the primary reason anyone should get a Switch!
Rather than of being solely a life simulation game, Animal Crossing also tries to be a town builder game, which is never what the series was in the first place. Town building doesn’t blend well with what Animal Crossing was initially. The villagers and dialogue all feel weak. It removed so many features and characters from past entries. The number 1 most talked about thing when it comes to this game are updates... Isn’t that sad? Most of the updates are for things that were in the previous games. They are basically slowly bringing old ideas back without tweaking them and sometimes making them worse! New Horizons is so disappointing. I hope they realize what made Animal Crossing great in the first place and remove this weird 5 star malarkey and make it about forming relationships.
@@Sc0ttTh3Fath3r Just going to quickly correct you on this, Pikmin 4 doesn't exist.
48:35 good memories of this one when buying minecraft for the wii u!

July 2014 is such a banger, sounds like a Mario kart song tbh
June 2011 is a classic. Remember my holidays browsing the little catalogue, playing Pushmo, waiting to have an update on the next Paper Mario--another story for another time ha ha. Good times that I hope the next console gives me
DSi Shop is forgotten. But it will never get old and will always remember you of your great times.
Rest in peace, Nintendo Wii U and 3DS.
The Wii U was my childhood console, I loved playing Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, and Minecraft on it, I remember playing with people online in battle mode, and racing against players on rainbow road.
I got a 3DS about 3 years later, with my first game being Art Academy. I later got Mario Kart 7, and i still play it to this day. Smash bros was fun, seeing the different stages from Wii U and 3DS. I loved playing these games.
You will never be forgotten, Wii U and 3DS.
goodbye, eshop, in a few hours. farewell to all those childhood memories of scrolling through games I couldn't get, listening to the eshop music and watching the trailers in the eshop. goodbye to a generation.

あぁ！wiiショッピンングなんですね！
ありがとぉございます！
The 3ds eshop is definitely the best one. The memories of sitting there and scrolling through are great. Also waiting for games to download was the best!
Love that Lil animation. So charming
Ngl, this makes me wanna be 10 again, and buy something of the eshop with Christmas or birthday money
Demos for me
AHHHH IKRRR, but I didnt get any money for games so I just got demos. I remember being really sad when I couldnt play sonic lost worlds anymore since the demo expired, still cant play it till this day :')
I still can’t believe we got a new Catchy song each month of each year for the original eshop
We’re not even lucky to get one for the switch
Ill miss you 3ds Shop you brought me so much joy in my life and I couldn't be happier I was in the best era of Nintendo I hope Nintendo will bring back the care they used to have.
I'm gonna miss my little buddy bag... He always greeted me when I started up the 3DS Eshop... 😭
53:10 is nostalgic for me. I miss the Wii U era. It's such an underrated console.
best one imo
Agreed
fr bro best console imo
33:15 is so nostalgic for me. Man I love the 3DS. Gonna miss the eshop so much
Before it closes, I leave this comment as a final thank you to the eshop. It served my childhood well it was a store full of like and passion filled games like no other, I still remember when it was fresh where the DSI ware Zenonia 1 was one of the few games on there. RIP, I will miss it as I am unable to visit it due to all 3ds batteries in my access, being expired.
Rest in peace Wii U and 3DS eshops...
Listening to this after seeing the news about the 3DS and WIIU eshops being closed in march 2022 hits different
Thanks for putting this video together! All of these songs are really great but the one i remember the most is 44:33.
R.i.P Nintendo éShop
2011 - 2023
June 2011 hit hard. I remember when the 3DS didn't have an eShop or internet browser. felt like it took them forever to get that out. I was in fourth grade and I got my 3DS and now I'm two years in to college. Time really flies.
The 3DS truly is magical
Wow…. I actually still can’t get my head around that the Wii U & 3DS eShop’s have actually gone. They have been up ever since I started gaming and it’s kind of unreal and makes me heartbroken that the last part of my childhood gaming has disappeared. 💔
This past year or so, I have been listening to the eShop music almost 24/7. I have countless memories of browsing the eShop late at night. I just want to say thank you Nintendo eShop for providing me with hundreds of games and videos. You will be missed 😔
Here we gather to remember Nintendo eShop and the memories it gave us. Thankfully we still have these beautiful music tracks ❤️🙏
The June 2015 theme is the one I’ve heard the most. Makes me cry when I hear it. Oh the things I’d do to be a kid again
How old are you?
@@martinjss8 lmaooo
The June 2015 one is the only one that plays now I want them to change it.
27:53 and 44:32 hit different I remeber browsing the eshop from time to time to look for demos and when I did get a game I remeber watching it download. I also remember hearing this when I bought the Mario Kart 8 DLC. Good Times R.I.P Nintendo Eshop 2011-2023 you will never be forgotten.
June 2011, aka the OG 3DS eShop theme, is the most nostalgic for me. Awesome memories of waking up on a winter morning on December 2013, the next day after getting my 3DS and browsing the eShop to see what games I could get for my new system. Other eShop themes never hit as hard as this theme for me, and I would actually delete the extra data for the eShop every time before entering so I would always hear that theme. I did that recently too around a week ago and it just felt really nostalgic in a really sad way, knowing that the eShop is closing in March. The 3DS is honestly one of Nintendo's best systems ever made, just behind the N64 and GameCube for me.
A sad day this, but these immaculate tunes and the wonderful consoles they came on will never be forgotten
57:28 that last one is such a good way to end off such a legacy that the 3ds is leavin behind and i dont think it could be any better
It wasn’t the last one
37:14 My favorite part, I like the beats! It’s amazing 👍🏾
19:42 is my favourite OMG

Man. All Wii U's Life got A LOT OF BANGERS for the shop, and Switch doesn't have ANY MUSIC!!!
I'll miss the eShop, it's an honor growing up with this.
and now we have to suck it up with no shop music
June 2015 is my absolute favorite. I’m gonna miss the eshop 😭
Goodbye little 3DS eshop guy.... I hope they have many colorful cubes for you to put in boxes when you are in heaven 🙏
RIP Wii U/ 3DS eShop you've been there for not only me but many others out in the world. Doing things like browsing the store with no money listening to it's many songs, Downloading Free To Play games like Steel Diver Sea Wars and Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, Downloading DLC for Super Smash Brothers 4 or Fire Emblem Awaking, Watching the many different videos from Nintendo Directs, Dinosaur Office and The Cat Mario Show, And who could forget about the Virtual Console downloading any old game of your pick for a good price even games that sadly won't make it to the NSO apps like Mario RPG Legend Of The Seven Stars and Mother 3. While the Switch has many good games and it's a good console if you ask me it just lacks that special charm that the Wii U and 3DS had.
I just miss this era of Nintendo but I guess modding my 2DS XL wouldn't be such a bad idea now.
June 2011 is the one I remember the most. I’d always just scroll through games for hours looking for game demos and watching game previews for Mario and Luigi: Dream Team
Official closing date of the Nintendo eShop is March 27, 2023, so that’s really unfortunate. This music takes me back!
June 2015 is my favourite and brings me back to my memories ❤️
January 2016 is also the second best
September of 2015 always hits me hard I got my 3ds around that time n this was the first thing I heard, I was almost convinced it was the official theme song , but I used to just put in headphones and look through the shop listening to the music

Rip Nintendo Eshop, 2011-2023
The DS Lite was my very first Nintendo console, and while it didn't have an eShop, it did tempt me to ask for just about every other Nintendo Console that came out alongside/after it around Christmas time as a kid. The Wii, DSi, Wii U, 3DS, I had them all. Listening to the soundtracks each and every one of them brought while browsing for games as a kid is a time I can only beg to go back to, even after all these years. Unfortunately I don't have any of them anymore, just a Switch, and it just doesn't feel the same at all. The silence of not only the shop, but the menus as well, is agonizing after listening to these old tracks. It doesn't even have customizable main menu themes, which the 3DS had, even the DS Lite had livelier colors to choose from other than just black and white. How the Switch can be the single most soulless Nintendo console after almost SIX years just baffles me.
4:01 is literally my aesthetic and it makes we want to cry... I hate being an adult. Take....me....back....PLEASE
I remember watching e3 treehouse videos all the time on my 3ds. I miss 2014 and 2015 😭
Ngl, my favorite one was July 2014.
Edit: Just realized it that was exactly when I got my 3ds. The original 2011 model
I got mine around August 2013. But I never connected to the E-shop until 2017. I got to hear multiple themes from then on. Great memories, especially with 4:01.
57:29 - May 2016 - was my favorite soundtrack of the year.
Man, I’m gonna miss the 3DS eShop, all the games, all the memories
