I had tried to set the prices for all 3 of our 3DS games to \u201cfree to download\u201d in both Europe and America.

Digger Dan DX, in particular, is a great grab, as it&#8217;s currently only out on 3DS, so this is your last chance to grab it.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/miles_and_kilo\">Miles &amp; Kilo<\/a> was also meant to be free too, but it&#8217;s currently stuck in a &#8220;waiting for release&#8221; submission state. Miles &amp; Kilo \u2014 the sequel to Kid Tripp \u2014 is also available on the Switch along with Kid Tripp.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the games are only free in Europe, but Four Horses has made the same request of Nintendo of America. So perhaps the deal will stretch across the pond very soon.
