Some ofCapcom’s biggest digital releases on Nintendo platforms have gotten a major discount mere weeks before some of these games will no longer be available to purchase digitally. This sale has launched on the same day as theCapcom Spotlight livestream eventin which fans will learn more about upcoming games in key Capcom franchises.
Capcom is best known for developing and publishing some of the biggest Japanese game franchises such asResident Evil,Street Fighter,Devil May Cry, andMega Man. Many Capcom franchises have strong histories on Nintendo platforms, some major examples being theAce AttorneyandMonster Hunterseries which were prominent on the Nintendo DS and 3DS, respectively. Theimpending closure of the 3DS eShophas many acting fast to own these exclusive games before they can no longer be acquired through official means.

Capcomseems to have acknowledged this by announcing a massive sale on its catalog of games on both 3DS and Switch. This sale includes discounts of up to 90% on prominent 3DS games such asMonster Hunter 3and4 Ultimate,Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, and the 3DS port ofSuper Street Fighter 4. A major highlight of this sale is that nearly everyAce Attorneygame released on the 3DS is currently on sale for $3 each. Although this sale will last until March 29, the 3DS eShop closes on March 27, so these 3DS discounts will only be available until then.
This sale also extends to a number of digital Nintendo Switch games including strong discounts of up to 60% on the first threeDevil May Crygames, compilations likeMega Man X Legacy Collection, and multipleMonster Huntertitles including the Deluxe Kit forMonster Hunter Rise. One standout is the Switch port of the originalResident Evil 4which is currently 50% off, an interesting inclusion as theResident Evil 4remake is expected to get a demo today.
Many gamers have hoped that with the 3DS and Wii U eShops closing that more publishers and developers would discount their games one last time. Yacht Club Games did this by offering amajor discount onShovel Knight: Treasure Trovefor the 3DS, and Capcom has followed suit by giving 3DS owners one last chance to get digital games they may have missed out on. With the 3DS just a few weeks away from no longer having an eShop, fans will hopefully get more discounts to send the system off.
