Nintendo announced that the 3DS and WII U digital store ESHOP is disconnected. Formally, the site will become unavailable in a year, but the process is divided into several stages – the first will enter into force in three months.
The schedule is released as follows:
From May 23, 2022, you http://yukon-gold-casino.uk/ can not use a bank card to add money to the ESHOP account on 3DS or WII U.
From August 29, 2022, you cannot use prepayment cards to add money to the ESHOP account on 3DS or WII U.
Until the end of March 2023, you can use the money that you put through the Switch store for purchases in ESHOP on 3DS and WII U. To do this, you need to combine your accounts Nintendo Network ID (used on 3DS and WII U) and Nintendo Account (used on Switch).
Purchases will not go anywhere: even after March 2023, you can re-download the acquired games and DLC. In addition, network services responsible for the multiplayer and update loading will remain in the ranks. In the foreseeable future, these features are not going to turn off.
What is interesting, the closing of the store has at least one positive effect. On the site Pokémon There was a message that after disconnecting ESHOP to 3DS, the Pokémon Bank service would be free – it allowed to transfer Pokemon between several parts of the series, but asked for this $ 4.99 times a year. Pokémon Bank is compatible with Pokémon Home – a similar service, but already for Switch and mobile devices.
