This is the last gasp of breath before the body dies! The closer the shop gets to closing, the more people like me are going to want to load up and hoard on 3DS and Wii U games we didn’t know we wanted and - honestly - didn’t actually even need.

Even outside of the damage this does to game preservation - you really think future generations are going to be able to get their hands on HarmoKnight? - it’s just stupid economics. With the flow of cash into the 3DS and Wii U shop left to desperate idiots like myself, I’m sure it didn’t make economic sense to make things infallible. I recognize that a lot of the transaction infrastructure took up resources and money. If you’re shuttering a store, at least make it easy for those of us psychopathic enough to want to buy every Harvest Moon game for the Virtual Console. I write this because… make it easier to buy your goddamn games. I don’t write all this to complain about some technical bullshit. There was no error with that company either. I tried again with a different card and told there was an error with the credit card company. They said there was no error nor record of an error. At one point, the website said there was an error with my credit card company.
