Has anyone ever played the eShop version of Cave Island? Apparently there's extra content. I'd buy a copy, but living in the US, I can't. Can anyone tell me about it?

I ended up helping him buy it, don't worry about that part.
You have to do a region transfer on your 3DS, which requires CFW, requires practically formatting your 3DS, and makes your entire 3DS language Japanese. If you want to do that, go ahead. The game is Y300 (~$3 USD), but minimum eShop value is Y1000, so you'll have to buy that.I ended up helping him buy it, don't worry about that part.can you help me with that too i will actually do things for that if i have to* *keep in mind i said i would do things, not anything. i will not do most things.
why the fuck would you do all that just for game that you can basically get without doing all thatYou have to do a region transfer on your 3DS, which requires CFW, requires practically formatting your 3DS, and makes your entire 3DS language Japanese.

Or archival purposeswhy the fuck would you do all that just for game that you can basically get without doing all thatMaybe if you want to support the creator of the game, if you want the bonus content, if you want an icon/shop game instead of a sub-game... it might be worth it to someone.
I bought cave island for my japanese 3DSLL(not the faster NEW-3DSXL) a few years ago and forgot about it after testing for a few minutes.
Here is screenshots of e-shop version of cave island and SB3 cave island(English translated by L. key is Q3KP33Q3)
(both 3DS are original Nintendo firmware systems. NOT modded with custom firmware.)
cave island icon with SB3 theme background
title screen (option menu is added)
option menu(button config is also available in game too)
It seems I bought this game around Aug/17/2017.
eshop version starts with 1000 golds and there are button config, save, exit to title icons on table.
lower screen format is different.
by the way, default button config is different between eshop and SB3 version. (can be changed)
eshop version : Y-attack B-jump X-investigate
SB3 version : B-attack A-jump X-investigate
training area has new icons.
gameplay seems identical.
new detail : when player changes weapon, current weapon pops above player for a moment.
eshop version : after getting bomb bag, I found strange dead character near cave entrance who wants mushroom.
lava stage gets more detail. whole area is filled with smooth red shade layer which moves upward.
just simple red tone in SB3 version.
skeleton shows the way to his secret room when he gets mushroom.
heart stone level * ???
(I found this secret room on SB3 version too but I can't remember how...)
Here is eshop information
cave island = 300 yen
puchikon magazine vol.1 = 300 yen
collection of previous ogiri contest stuff. and solid gunner.
Here is theme selecton menu on 3DS
