Wii U and 3DS eShop now Approach Endgame as Nintendo Confirms Closure Date

Nintendo 3DS & Wii U eShop are being discontinued permanently as of March 2023.

In the west, it will close on March 27, 2023, and in Japan on March 28, 2023.

Users will no longer be able to make new purchases after the service shuts down & Gamers will not be allowed to use a Nintendo eShop gift card to add funds to their account as of August 29. 

The good news is they can still redownload any previously purchased games, receive software updates & use online features for any games on both systems.

So that’s it then, folks!!
