Last chance to buy games on the Wii U / 3DS eShops
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
We’re officially in March, which means we’re a step closer to the end of the Wii U and 3DS eShops. This is your last opportunity to purchase content from both stores.
Some folks may actually already be locked out of making a purchase. Back in August, Nintendo made it so users could no longer use an eShop card to add funds to an account on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. Credit card support ended even earlier, as that was cut off last May.

Video: Wave Race 64 Switch vs Wii U vs N64 graphics comparison
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in Switch, Videos, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Wave Race 64 has just released for Nintendo Switch Online, and we can now take a look at how this version of the game compares visually to past iterations. In this Gamexplain video, the Switch version is first compared to the N64 original, before then being compared to the more modern Wii U version.
As is expected, the Switch version is certainly an improvement over the more jagged N64 original, and since Wii U ports of N64 games tended to make things a little darker, the Switch brightens it up in comparison to be truer to its initial release.
Here is some more information about Wave Race 64:

A pair of video apps are coming to an end on Wii U with YouTube and Crunchyroll ceasing support later this year.
In the case of YouTube, a brief notice on Google’s website mentions that the app will no longer be available in October. Those that are interested in watching videos on the console can continue doing so until that month comes along. Once YouTube goes offline on Wii U, users are advised to move over to Switch.

Nintendo provides additional details on the 3DS and Wii U eShops ending purchases in 2023
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Nintendo had previously confirmed that they were ending purchases on the 3DS and Wii U eShops sometime in late March 2023. They’ve now provided additional details, citing March 27, 2023 as the day that purchases on these eShops will become unavailable.
They’ve also clarified that starting August 29, 2022, you’ll no longer be able to directly add funds to the Wii U and 3DS eShops. You will however be able to redeem download codes after this date, and if you’ve linked your Nintendo Network ID to your Nintendo Account, you’ll still be able to make purchases using shared funds added to your Nintendo Account. The final bit of news is that oddly enough, purchases of Fire Emblem Fates on the 3DS eShop will end one month earlier than the rest, on February 28, 2023. However DLC for the game, including the additional story paths accessible after Chapter 6, will still be available until March 27, 2023.

Capcom hosting Wii U and 3DS eShop sale, Zack & Wiki and more included
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
These days most gamers are focusing on Switch when it comes to Nintendo platforms, but Nintendo Everything reader TruExtent has tipped us off about an interesting Capcom eShop sale for the Wii U and 3DS eShops.
On the Wii U side of things, something we haven’t really seen before is Capcom slashing the prices of its Wii “Virtual Console” releases. As it turns out though, right now you can save big on titles such as Zack & Wiki. The typical games like Monster Hunter and Ace Attorney are on sale for 3DS as well.
