nintendogs + cats missing on the North American 3DS eShop
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
A new wave of Nintendo Selects joined the North American lineup on Friday. Five games were added, including nintendogs + cats: Golden Retriever & New Friends. Most of these titles had their prices updated on the eShop, but there’s now a strange situation surroundings the nintendogs + cats games.
Back in 2014, all three versions of nintendogs + cats became available digitally and at just $15. Now, however, they’re gone entirely. Searching for nintendogs + cats brings up zero results. All of the Nintendo Selects had their prices updated on the eShop this past Friday and Nintendo Land even made a return, but it seems that nintendogs + cats is gone. It’s likely related to the fact that Golden Retriever & New Friends’ old price ($15) was lower than it would have been under the Nintendo Selects line ($20).
Will nintendogs + cats ever return? That’s a good question. If the different versions ever come back, they probably won’t be at $15 again.
Thanks to Jose M for the tip.
Developer pulling Outside the Realm from the eShop on September 1
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Developers taking down their games from the eShop isn’t something that we see too often. However, TreeFall Studios has decided to move in that direction for one of its older releases.
The Wii U title Outside the Realm will be gone as of September 1. Regarding the decision, TreeFall said “it no longer meets our quality standards”.
TreeFall said on Twitter earlier this month:
Outside the Realm was more of an experiment, we are removing the game from the eShop on Sept 1st as it no longer meets our quality standards
