R.I.P Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U eShops: 2011(2012 for Wii U)-2023

[CupheadtheCritic]

Today we lost a relic of history known as the Nintendo eShop (3DS and Wii U). May it rest in peace.

EDDit: If you "illegally" download games, you did forget that if it ain't being sold anymore, you can download it all willy-nilly, right?

 

[The Catboy]

Oh no
Anyways, time for piracy

Still got another 27 minutes.

That's not a lot of time, though.

 

[SylverReZ]

Already pirated my games, so I'm not bothered by that.

RIP, 3ds you had one of the best Game Libraries ever......

i’m able to get on the eshop but it says software is unavailable on literally everything

sad potato hours

you still can get to eshop

Go to pokemon bank (it is free to use already), and from there hit "download pokemon bank". Maybe very soon you will be able to enter straight away.

You will land there, there are lots of weird stuff, and all updates are available to grab

Edit: The Japanese store is featuring all updates, the American store is featuring some first party games, but in an unavailable status.

 

[Dust2dust]

And nothing of value was lost. Seriously, I mean it... every game is still available if you know where to get them.

Hope someone works on a project to restore the Nintendo Badge Arcade
Make it run entirely offline with free plays and whatnot

Everything is well preserved through the nointro project.
We only need a complete encTitleKeys.bin with all titleids.

While inquiring about the closure of the eshop, I noticed that the screenshots found on the internet did not look like what I had at all, anyone have an idea why?

The pretendo discord channel made an announcement that Nintendo has re-enabled download codes.

The different regions have different storefronts
