Once support for credit cards and e-money cards has ended, users will only be able to add funds for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops via Nintendo prepaid cards or by linking their Nintendo Network ID with their Nintendo account. According to the announcement, any remaining funds in either of the respective eShops after the aforementioned date may still be used as is.

The successor to the massively popular and industry-changing Wii failed to sell, although it did host some pretty good first-party titles, and Nintendo discontinued the device in 2017. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Wii U wasn’t as successful as the. Even though the 3DS did not sell as well as its predecessor, becoming the lowest-selling Nintendo handheld console, it was still a popular handheld that sold over 70 million units. The Nintendo DS, which the 3DS line succeeded, is still Nintendo’s best-selling console and one of the best-selling consoles of all time, second only to the PlayStation 2. The Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops could close permanently sometime in 2022 if the company’s latest announcement is anything to go by.
