The Nintendo 3DS stands as one of Nintendo's most unique hardware achievements. Released in 2011, the handheld introduced glasses-free 3D technology to the mass market and hosted a library of critically acclaimed titles, from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds to Fire Emblem: Awakening . However, as the hardware ages and Nintendo officially closes the 3DS eShop, the ability to play these games is becoming increasingly difficult.
