i dont have a 3ds or wiiU , whats the store like ? any good ?

3DS one is very good. Wii U eShop need much more games. Overall it looks just fine (nice) from visual aspect. Will be better and better overtime.

UPDATE
Maybe they should improve search function, nothing else.

thanks ! was planning on picking up a wiiU next year

You should pick up a Wii U, it's a great system, and once the big Nintendo franchises (and hopefully some 3rd party) come out it will be awesome.

eShop is surprisingly good and is beginning to do away with the "Nintendo is bad at online stereotype".

Like R00bot stated the WiiU is quite good and has some hidden gems. ZombiU is surprisingly fun. If you haven't played a Mario title in like 1x years then I'm sure the NSMBU will be good to :p.

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.

Leeroyw328d 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.

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.

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
