Purchasing DLC on the 3DS must also be done in-game, with some games requiring partial or total completion before any additional content can be purchased. The eShop also has $250 cap, meaning only so much could be added at a time before they had to start buying games.Īdditionally, only around ten games could be purchased at a time before the 3DS forces users to download them, and it also restricts the total spend per day.

Limits to purchasing eShop gift cards exist to prevent scams and such, meaning The Competionist's team had to visit a ton of different stores to acquire the amount needed. The software is clunkier, slower, has limited search functionality, and even adding funds can get complicated.

These incredible numbers were just half the battle for The Completionist, however, as the Nintendo eShops of old don't run as smoothly as the Switch's version. The Completionist spent $22,791 spread across 464 eShop cards, which amassed to 1.2 terabytes of Wii U games and 267 gigabytes of 3DS, translated to 2,136,689 blocks (Nintendo's own data measurement system).
