Last month on January 18, the ability to add funds to the Wii U and 3DS eShops via credit cards in Japan was removed. For now, gamers can still add funds via pre-paid download cards until August 29/30 (depending on your region). It will still be possible to redeem download codes or use a shared balance via a connected My Nintendo account until the late March 2023 cutoff. It will still be possible to re-download games and DLC, receive updates and play online games with the Wii U and 3DS for “the foreseeable future.”
The Wii U and Nintendo 3DS software pages are still up and running in Japan. If you’re interested to see more about Japan exclusive Wii U or 3DS titles, be sure to check out our Top Japan Only Wii U Titles article or our Top Japan 3DS Titles article.
