It seems that about half of the DSiWare games in the US 3DS Eshop now say "Currently Unavailable". This was first noticed on Jan 1st 2021 by a reddit user. Only about 180 remain, down from 400+ just a couple days ago.
I had checked yesterday and it appeared that only Nintendo published games had been yanked. Now, the purge obviously increased in scope, but I can't confirm if this is being done in phases or if the purging will continue at all. There's one detail that could describe which games are chosen for deactivation -- they all have a release date of 5/16/2011 or earlier.
At this time, no DSiWare titles have been removed from EU and JP Eshops as far as I can tell.
