With less than 2 weeks before the Nintendo 3DS eShop closes, this short uses apps only available through the eShop, as a love letter to those apps.
This was a slooow-burn film I worked on over 22 months, on and off, to pass the time while waiting in public, like waiting at the doctor’s office, waiting for food take-out, or waiting while my kids ice skate.
The animation was done using the Butterfly Animation app. The backgrounds were painted using the Colors! 3D app, which was then imported into Butterfly. The frog croak sound is from Flipnote, another drawing app on the DS. The music is from the Nintendo eShop theme, and the music from the chase shot was created using the Korg M01D music synthesizer app.
UPDATE: I saw Catsuka did a nice shout out to my film! :)
From December 2021.
Tried to mimick the artstyle of a couple of 3DS characters I like.
The 3DS was released a bit more than a decade ago and the nostalgia is getting bigger and bigger, evidenced by the fact that this is my most popular tweet lol

So the Nintendo 3DS E-shop closes down today. I've been using my 3DS to the fullest playing ACNL almost everyday, so it really feels like the end of an era ;w;!!
I downloaded Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal in advance, but this lil dude, who'll take care of him? Where will he go? He deserve a nice long nap before going on a new adventure I suppose.
Goodbye 3DS E-shop and Goodnight lil Shopping Bag!!
Heres just a quick reminder to buy your WiiU and 3DS eshop games before march 27th! (and some game recs some of which i havent actually played but plan on it 😅)
We are on the last 2 (ish) days of the eshop being open to new purchases! (well I can’t purchase anymore cause I can’t link my Nintendo Network to my Nintendo Online cause my mom put HER birthday on my Network account when I made it in middle school but my online has my actual birthday)
It was a good, even great run and I just hope that all these games are being archived somewhere so that one day we can enjoy them again.
Up until the 27th of March will you be able to redeem download codes on the 3DS and WiiU.
I’m unsure about what will happen to the My Nintendo 3DS rewards within that time, but to be safe you might want to redeem them within the time between now and then.
You can get multiple 3DS themes, Flipnote 3D, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Picross all for free.
You can get them here: https://my.nintendo.com/reward_categories/download_code
the nintendo 3ds eshop closes down in 8 hours from time of writing (5 pm pacific time 3/27/23) and i just realized there doesn't seem to be a post going around about this so i'm putting out a fast reminder:
THE ONLY WAY IN THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE TO GET ASH GRENINJA (GRENINJA WITH BATTLE BOND) IS THROUGH THE SUN/MOON DEMO!! additionally there's some gift pokemon in the omega ruby/alpha sapphire demo that have a special OT! you can find a list of those here on serebii if you scroll down!
they show up in the eshop as separate titles and are free to download so if you want to futureproof getting these pokemon 100% legitimately, even if you aren't planning to do it right now, go and download these!!
(however, don't panic, even if you don't, hacking your 3ds is always an option and you should do it! FOMO sucks, i just want people who care about this sort of legitimacy to be aware!)
