3DS & Wii U: How to Buy Games Before Their eShops Shut Down

Twelve Years after the doors of the 3DS and Wii U eShop opened, they are sadly closing for good. Nintendo has announced that on March 27th, 2023, it will no longer be possible to purchase games digitally from that generation of video game consoles. But for months now, it’s been impossible to buy anything ever since they revoked the ability to directly add funds to your account, so we shouldn’t care about this announcement, right? Well, turns out there’s a completely valid way Nintendo has allowed for you to still add funds to your account, and it’s super simple to do. So here is how you can still buy Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U games before they are gone forever–plus some game recommendations in case you don’t know what to get.
