2013 Nintendo 3DS Game Available for Just $0.79 for Limited Time

by

Right now, you can get a Nintendo 3DS game from 2013 for just $0.79, but this offer won’t last forever. You may have already gotten it for free in the past, especially if you’ve been a gamer for the last 12 years. This deal is available through Steam, not the Nintendo eShop, although similar, less attractive deals are available on both the eShop and PlayStation Store.

You can get a great deal on *SteamWorld Dig* right now! On Steam, it’s only $0.79 – a 92% discount. It’s $1.49 on the PlayStation Store (85% off), and $1.99 on the Nintendo eShop with an 80% discount. Interestingly, the Nintendo eShop won’t allow games to be priced lower than $1.99, so this is the best price you’ll find there. These deals are available until September 28th.

One of 2013’s Better 3DS Games

The Nintendo 3DS had been available for a couple of years by 2013 – it wasn’t brand new, but the console hadn’t fully hit its stride yet. Among the 3DS-exclusive games released that year, *SteamWorld Dig* stood out as a particularly good one. While it later became available on other platforms, that didn’t happen until a few years after its initial release.

If you’re unfamiliar, *SteamWorld Dig* is an action-adventure platformer created by Swedish developer Image & Form. It’s the second game in the *SteamWorld* series, after *SteamWorld Tower Defense* (released in 2010). The game received a score of 82 on Metacritic and was later followed by a sequel, *SteamWorld Dig 2*, in 2017.

A Classic Unlikely to Ever Be Cheaper

It’s highly unlikely *SteamWorld Dig* will ever be on sale for a lower price on Steam unless it’s offered as a free promotion – any future discounts would be minimal. On the Nintendo eShop, it won’t cost less than $1.99 unless Nintendo changes its current eShop rules.

If you’re wondering whether a 3DS game from 2013 still holds up in 2025, the answer is yes! It’s aged surprisingly well, largely because it wasn’t focused on flashy graphics. Unlike many big-budget games of that era, it didn’t rely on cutting-edge technology, so those elements haven’t become as noticeably dated.
