Wii U and 3DS game discounts are now gone from My Nintendo
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
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.

Switch ships one million consoles in China, Nintendo now the country’s market leader
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
According to information provided by Tencent, Nintendo has shipped one million consoles in China. That’s based on all systems that have been distributed in the country since launch back in December 2019.
Niko Partners reports that, based on Tencent’s figures, Nintendo has surpassed Sony and Microsoft as China’s biggest console device seller. Additionally, Switch selling one million units is bigger than the combined sales of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One over the same period.
Reuters notes that Switch’s “early sales were hampered by a limited number of available games and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in China,” but later increased thanks to Ring Fit Adventure’s popularity.
