Nintendo is closing down the Wii U and 3DS eShop, making thousands of digital only titles inaccessible and proving the need for preservation.

Nintendo has recently announced that it is shutting down the Nintendo eShop on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS by March 2023. The ability to buy games and DLC with a credit card will end on May 23, 2022, and the ability to redeem eShop cards will cease on August 29, 2022. After March 2023, players will not be able to buy or download new games, in-game content, demos, and free to play games. They will still be able to download previously purchased content after the shutdown for an undisclosed amount of time.
