Nintendo announced on February 16, last week, that this is the last year of operation of the Wii U and 3DS online stores, two classic consoles of the brand. To the sadness of fans, the eShops will be officially closed in March 2023 according to information released by the company.
The closing of the virtual stores marks the end of the useful life of both consoles once and for all. Being a natural process in video game brands, the brand should not continue to pay attention to older products, such as the two devices that will have their virtual stores closed.
Anyway, this is not a big surprise, even if it is unpleasant for many players. Nintendo had already stopped manufacturing the 3DS in 2020, while the Wii U stopped in 2017. With the handheld and the console stopping leaving the brand’s factories, it was already expected that at one time or another the activities of the eShops would also stop.
It is worth remembering that, although this signals the end of the useful life of the two company’s devices, players who like to have fun with friends in portable and console games will not be prevented. According to Nintendo itself, preventing online servers from continuing to work is not in the plans.
The Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s latest handheld console, will not be affected by the decision. It’s important to mention that many games released for both Wii U and 3DS are available on the device launched in 2017. So those who want to take advantage of the vast catalog of the two devices, perhaps should start looking more at the Switch.
