nintendogs + cats missing on the North American 3DS eShop
Posted on 8 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.
