Nintendo announced on Tuesday that it will shut down the eShop online store for its Nintendo 3DS handheld and Wii U console platforms on March 27, 2023 in the West, and on March 28, 2023 in Japan. Nintendo had announced the eventual closure of these eShops in February earlier this year.
While users will still be able to play online, download software updates, and re-download products they have purchased on the store, they will no longer be able to make new purchases or download free demos after the service shuts down next year.
Credit card purchases were disabled on May 23 this year, and prepaid eShop Cards will cease to be supported on August 29 in the West, and on August 30 in Japan.
