Oh, finally we can use another controller in the eShop aside from the Wii U Gamepad. I don't have that one for now and I need to access to the store right now, I don't understand why we couldn't do this in the past.

Kevlar0093556d ago

They need full controller interaction. I should be able to use my Wiimotes and Gamepad in both the Wii and WiiU menus

"Users can now navigate the Nintendo eShop using a Wii Remote, Wii U Pro Controller, or Classic Controller"

Awesome. I hope they add an update that let us turn on the system with the Pro Controller without it also turning on the gamepad.

We need GameCube controller support as well :D

So you can transfer from your old Wii U to your new Wii U and won't need the gamepad. Hmm...interesting.

Dunban673556d ago

I agree it is interesting- what is the purpose of using multiple controllers for the e shop- is that done In case someone's game pad is broken?

Chrischi19883556d ago

Yes, I guess. Or if the battery is empty and you dont have the charger with you, for whatever reason^^

Dunban673555d ago

Makes sense - choices are always good- I get the feeling there may be something bigger behind these updates that may not be revealed in the near future but it's just a hunch

Either way any improvement is good

It seems Nintendo now restricts international purchases on eShop from certain countries

Users will be greeted with error code 2813-2470 if they try to purchase something from the Argentinian eShop without having a bank card or gift card registered for that particular country.

An unsurprising move from Greedtendo

They need to start quality control and getting rid of the shovelware garbage that's been infecting eShop lately.

Nintendo Shuts Down eShop Services In Russia After A Year's Suspension

Nintendo has decided to cease its eShop services in Russia starting from May 31 in a largely expected move.

Leeroyw318d ago

Good. You can't invade a foreign sovereign country and expect things to go on hunky dory. Queue the Russian bots to down vote me. I don't care. This is not okay. A child and her mother killed over night. In their own home. In their own country.

Wii U & 3DS eShop are gone. What now? - Opinion Piece

Dan Rizzo says "So this is where we’re at with Nintendo and their continuous colloquy of tedious arguments against emulation. It’s funny how a company that’s so against open-source emulation, uses it to sell commercial products such as the NES and SNES Classic Mini, but release a minimal quantity to drum-up all the hype behind it, only to leave a majority of its fanbase disappointed when struggling to acquire the now collector’s piece."

Jailbreak. It was pretty easy on the 3ds, there are good guides out there.

CrimsonWing69368d ago

someone made a good point that older music, movies, and books are far more easier to get access to than games. I think the industry needs to make a change. It's crazy that so much is gone now and I'm willing to pay for the games, but there's literally no way to get them now.

fan_of_gaming368d ago

I can't speak to music as I don't collect it, and books are still quite accessible through paperbacks & hardcover releases. But movies & tv shows are starting to have a problem with accessibility now, with all these streaming-exclusives. Before everything would get a DVD or Blu-ray release, but now if content is pulled from a streamer, like happened with some HBO Max stuff recently, there's often no physical disc option or even a digital download through a service like iTunes. They're just lost media, same as delisted digital-only games.

play all of the games I got before they closed
