Tetris for Game Boy, Tetris Axis pulled from the North American 3DS eShop as well
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 9 Comments
We found out in late November that a pair of Tetris games were scheduled to be removed from the European 3DS eShop at the end of 2014. As soon as January 1 rolled on in, Nintendo pulled the Game Boy version of Tetris as well as Tetris Axis from the digital store.
It’s now clear that the removal of these two titles wasn’t just limited to Europe. Tetris for Game Boy as well as Tetris Axis are nowhere to be seen on the North American 3DS eShop. There was no prior warning for those living in the states, sadly!

SEGA has no plans to release retail version of SEGA 3D Reprints Archives in North America
Posted on 9 years ago by Vincent Ward in 3DS, 3DS eShop, General Gaming, News | 1 Comment
SEGA has no plans to bring SEGA 3D Reprints Archives to North America, as the company has stated on Twitter.
@KevinLarrabee @NintendoAmerica hard to say, 'no chance' as the future is a strange and unpredictable place. Nothing planned at the moment.
— SEGA (@SEGA) December 30, 2014
It appears us in North America won’t be able to get these classics in a physical form anytime soon. Keep in mind that you can still purchase some of these games on the eShop with digital downloads, and more are on the way in 2015.
