Nintendo Wii U And 3DS eShop Shutting Down In March 2023

Nintendo has revealed that the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops will be shut down in 2023. You will no longer be able to buy games on either system after March 27th, 2023. The business has stated that you would no longer be able to add monies to the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops after August 29, 2022. If you have made purchases on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, you will be allowed to re-download software and enjoy online play after March 27th, 2023. It's a pity, because there are no legal alternatives to purchasing some of the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U titles that are no longer physically available at their suggested retail price.
