A port of Darumeshi Sports Store
A baseball-themed mini-game collection for 3DS eShop. Players can haggle with the shopkeeper to reduce actual real money prices on the games available in this free to play title. The game is a localization of Darumeshi Sports Store, replacing Darumeshi for Rusty.

really good baseball score attack game
Game about baseball, but it has a dog and a story.
rusty is actually kind of hilarious and the haggling is funny
taught me that marriage is terrible
Story was interesting and the mini games are pretty fun at first. I completed all the basic and advanced levels, though, and the game drags on a little. Some mini games are home runs and others are strikeouts 😝
You can't even legally play the games you are trying to "buy" anymore thanks to the eShop's closure, so rather than make all the minigames free, the game just gives you the story of the game for free, but keeps you from accessing the games since you technically never paid for them, which is a bummer as I don't think Nintendo would lose much sleep by letting players preserve the experience of this game in full if they downloaded it before but haven't finished it.
The haggle system is a neat idea and the game's real inventive with it, making the monetization method a core part of the character while not using a made-up currency, which I don't think I've seen done anywhere else. (even if you still pay $15 or so if you wanted to play the whole thing so Nintendo still makes a profit) I don't remember much of the games themselves, other than that they were fine. But Rusty is the star here, and while his world can't function the way it used to anymore, everyone will remember this game for him and his haggling mechanics.
