Nintendo just announced the practical shutdowns of the Wii U and 3DS eShops due March of 2023. Pretty understandable in regards to Wii U, but I personally would've let the 3DS live a little longer.

Wait, the complete shutdown? Not just inability to add credits cards? Because they did that not too long ago, but allow you to add funds to a Nintendo account (via PC or Switch) and then use those funds on Wii U/3ds. That's how I bought Super Mario RPG in 2021.

If they are preventing any purchases through the eshops on those platforms that is very interesting to me and makes me wonder if they plan to have most, if not all, of the Wii U eshop games available on Switch by March 2023.

What you say in your first paragraph will happen sooner. eShop cards will stop working in August and, with that, it will become impossible to buy games in either system. Download codes will keep working until March of 2023. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
