I'd argue this is actually a bigger loss than the Switch emulator closing up shop, because the Switch is still actively being sold and developed for.

The 3DS is dead at this point, and Nintendo shut down the online shop. I have a 3DS with a bunch of digital games I purchased and downloaded onto the device that I haven't gotten around to playing yet (mostly JRPGs, because 40 hours a pop is a tall order). If my 3DS dies and all the emulators disappear, I'm outta luck.

Time to start lobbying Atlus for a Radiant Historia Switch port, I suppose...



Nothing's disappearing except for the official hosting of Citra.

Citra already fully supported every notable 3DS game, I think, and recent development work has mostly come from outside contributors rather than Tropic Haze.


Nothing's disappearing, except the binaries and source. Good-quality archives will surely be assembled, but it at a minimum makes Citra significantly harder to access.


I bet citra is mostly accessed as a retroarch core these days


Also, there is another good Switch emulator (Ryujinx) that people could reasonably use instead. The same is not (yet) true for 3DS.
