New Nintendo 3DS games (Nintendo eShop) | 3DS eShops will shut down entirely in late March 2023
1Description:
This is video about browsing New Nintendo 3DS games
on Nintendo eShop (Europe). I bought my New Nintendo 3DS
18.7.2019 (Video: Unboxing NEW Nintendo 3DS XL).
The Nintendo Wii U and 3DS eShops will shut down entirely
in “late March 2023.” The Nintendo Support page announcing
the closure doesn't give a specific day,
but it does state:
“As of late March 2023, it will no longer be possible
to make purchases in Nintendo eShop for the Wii U system
and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
It will also no longer be possible to download free content,
including game demos.”
However, the company will remove some functionality before that date.
On May 23, 2022, users lose the ability to use a credit card
to add funds to an account in the eShop on Wii U and 3Ds.
After that, users can add funds to their systems
with Nintendo eShop Cards, but only until August 29, 2022.
After that, users will have to link their Nintendo
Network ID wallet and Nintendo Account wallets and
use the shared balance to purchase content.
