Nintendo eShop

Nintendo’s upcoming maintenance schedule has received an update. The eShop will be impacted twice this month – the first time early next week on Switch, Wii U, and 3DS, followed by another period specifically for Nintendo’s current console.

The full schedule is as follows:

Wii U and 3DS discounts have been a staple of My Nintendo for the past few years. Now, however, they’re a thing of the past. The final wave of software discounts expired today, and the category has been removed entirely from the website.

Wii U is actually gone entirely from My Nintendo, but 3DS is still there – for now. My Nintendo is offering Zelda: Twilight Princess Picross, Flipnote Studio 3D, and a few themes.

Switch is obviously Nintendo’s focus at the moment, though there is no dedicated category for the system on My Nintendo currently. It is at least possible to spend Gold Points on physical rewards and redeem Gold Points on digital purchases from the eShop.

Not much has changed with Nintendo’s maintenance schedule. The company is still planning a session later this month that will impact the Switch, 3DS, and Wii U eShops.

LEGO City Undercover

If you had any interest in picking up the digital versions of LEGO City Undercover for Wii U or LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins for 3DS, you’re out of luck. Nintendo quietly pulled both titles from their digital storefronts recently. A reason for their removal was not provided.

LEGO City Undercover for Switch, which is largely the same as the Wii U version, can be bought digitally on that system without any issues. However, The Chase Begins was a bit of a different experience, and there’s no way to access the game from the 3DS eShop any longer (unless you bought it previously). However, it’s true that physical copies are still out there in the wild.

Nintendo published LEGO City Undercover on Wii U and 3DS originally, so it’s possible that some sort of license expired. Warner Bros. directly handled the Switch version.

Netflix is coming to an end on Nintendo systems. The app was removed from the Wii U and eShops on December 31, 2020 and can no longer be downloaded by new users. Existing users can still re-download, but service will be permanently discontinued on June 30, 2021.

The Netflix Channel on Wii was suspended back in January 2019.

As for Switch, there’s no official app on the system at this time. Current video apps on the console include YouTube, Hulu, and Funimation.
