Following the news that the Wii U and 3DS storefronts will be shut down, the Wii and DSi stores have also vanished without comment.
Whatever your feelings regarding Nintendo’s decision to shut down the Wii U and 3DS eShops, at least it’s given fans a year in advance to make any last minute purchases. Plus, you’ll still be able to redownload any games you’ve bought even after their closure.
This used to be the case with the Nintendo Wii and DSi storefronts too, but it’s recently been discovered that both are now completely inaccessible. This means any and all digital purchases can’t be redownloaded.
While this was always inevitable, Nintendo gave no warning that it would be doing this. It’s not clear exactly when they went down but, according to dataminer OatmealDome on Twitter, they’ve been inoperable since March 16, making it nearly a week.
