He's in a better place now

Rest in Peace

Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShop

2011-2023

Heres just a quick reminder to buy your WiiU and 3DS eshop games before march 27th! (and some game recs some of which i havent actually played but plan on it 😅)

hope you enjoy and have an AWESOME day!!!

We are on the last 2 (ish) days of the eshop being open to new purchases! (well I can’t purchase anymore cause I can’t link my Nintendo Network to my Nintendo Online cause my mom put HER birthday on my Network account when I made it in middle school but my online has my actual birthday)

It was a good, even great run and I just hope that all these games are being archived somewhere so that one day we can enjoy them again. 

Thank you for the memories… GOODBYE NINTENDO 3DS AND WII U ESHOP!!

Reminder:

Up until the 27th of March will you be able to redeem download codes on the 3DS and WiiU.

I’m unsure about what will happen to the My Nintendo 3DS rewards within that time, but to be safe you might want to redeem them within the time between now and then.

You can get multiple 3DS themes, Flipnote 3D, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Picross all for free.

You can get them here: https://my.nintendo.com/reward_categories/download_code

I wanted to find a way to preserve the Wii U eShop Virtual Console. So this past weekend I screen captured EVERY trailer for every game that had one! Already started to upload them to the YT channel for all to enjoy and will be posting more batches throughout the week. This was a fun challenge and a blast to rewatch all those trailers! 🍿

Quick tribute for the 3DS and WiiU eShops, which die tomorow.

I'm gonna miss the 3DS eShop mascot. How he ran all across the screen when you were making a purchase, and the colored blocks that would fall into the game you were purchasing. Such a little guy.

The little bag gets to go on vacation now :)

It's the end of an era.

"Nintendo 3DS eShop, I bid you take your place in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave shall live forever. Nor shall we mourn but rejoice, for those that have died the glorious death.”

Farewell, friend.

Something I drew in honour of the closing of the WiiU & 3DS eShops...

[To add context for those who don't know, this is "Satawa Itoru", a Luigi's Mansion OC I made in memory of Satoru Iwata, beloved Nintendo CEO who notably worked on these consoles]

🫡Thanks for the memories

As of March 27th, the Nintendo eShop has shut down on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U family of video game systems. You can no longer purchase games digitally, including DLC.

To say goodbye to this piece of my childhood, I drew the shop’s orange shopping bag mascot flying to heaven.

While I knew the eShop’s service for these two specifc systems would shutdown sometime this decade (since both the 3DS and Wii U have been officially discontinued for years now), it’s still hard for me to believe that it finally happened after years of downloading some of my favourite games…

I will forever love the 3DS and Wii U for the many childhood memories it gave me!

A Tribute to the 3DS & Wii U E Shop

With 1 week left until the closure of the Eshop for the 3DS and Wii U, I was hoping you’d all pay tribute by sharing any interesting or funny stories you have about the E Shop or any of the games you played/bought or even any last minute recommendations before the E Shop joins Club Penguin and the toasted sandwich maker in the land of bygones.  The 3DS and Wii U themselves are on their way out with their internet functions likely going in the next 2 years. These may have not been the best Nintendo systems but they’ve given us some cracking games: Fire Emblem Awakening, Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Splatoon, Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D, Mario Kart 8, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask & Super Mario 3D World to name a few, and then there’s all the download exclusives like the 3D Sonic & Kirby games and the Virtual Console games, everything from Pokémon Gold & Silver to F-Zero X. Thankfully, some games are already coming to Switch but not all and at a much higher price as the Expansion Pass is £35 compared to the individual games being £4-8 but I digress. Please feel free to share your thoughts and stories in the comments, but for now, rest in peace 3DS & Wii U E Shop, you’ve done good.
