Why Nintendo eShop Are Closing 3DS And WII U Games

It's been over a decade, but it's finally happening: Nintendo is closing down the Wii U and 3DS eShops, meaning that very soon you will no longer be able to buy digital games on either platform.
This change takes place until March 27th, 2023, which means there's still time for you to grab all the downloadable games you can fit in your digital arms and run. But with credit card payment support having ended on May 23rd, 2022, and Nintendo eShop cards having ceased to redeem from August 29th, 2022, we want to make sure that you get those games in time, and don't run into any lack-of-fund-related mishaps.

Yeah. Not gonna lie, I never got into the hype too much… well, if at all… for the 3DS or the Wii U.
Same for Switch. I don’t know what it is, but all three just turn me off. Doesn’t help Nintendo’s got an attitude.

The switch is more portable than the 3ds it's really not. And online play was free on the 3ds and the wii u, not on the switch. The switch is barely more powerful than the wii u as well.

Majority of the switch games are Wii u games

Rest in peace wii u & 3ds

Playing the switch handheld feels uncomfortable too me unlike the 3ds.

@@truthseekersthenewomega97 Quite true. Set up a My Nintendo account last night, linked my NNID, added funds this morning, and downloading purchases as I type this. Not sure if I'll ever get a Switch (I have a Steam Deck), but one last infusion for 3DS that'll probably last me for _years_, given my spare gaming time.
