I know already told you that the 3DS online systems has been shut down as of early April 2024 making it no longer possible to achieve online milestones and rewards in specific 3DS Games. I also know that I already told you to correctly install an appropriate Homebrew app for 3DS and Pretendo Network to see if you can try to bring back online services and “break the curse”. However, did you know Nintendo is planning on making remakes for specific 3DS Games to make it up to those who desperately desire to get a 100% completion on Nintendo Games for 3DS and Switch alike?
If you have Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon on the 3DS, you can still play it. However, you should consider getting the Switch remake for it as it has an online feature that allows you to play with others online once more.
Additionally, Hyrule Warriors Legends and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D have remakes. There is always Hyrule Warrriors: Definitive Edition and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition has an exclusive medal to replace the Big Bro Medal in Adventure Mode and make it easier to get a 100% completion on medals. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD has both features from the original Wii game and the 3DS remake.
Here are the rest of the 3DS games that you should considered getting for safekeeping even with the Homebrew Apps correctly installed:
