The '''Nintendo eShop''' ({{ja|ニンテンドーeショップ|Nintendō īShoppu}}, ''Nintendo eShop'') is [[Nintendo]]'s proprietary digital storefront, serving as a successor to both the {{s|wikipedia|Wii Shop Channel}} and {{s|wikipedia|DSi Shop}}. Beginning with the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and continuing onto the [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo Switch]], players can go onto the eShop with an internet connection and download digital titles, and sometimes content exclusive to the eShop (such as download-only titles, and non-video game media like animations). Players could also buy [[Virtual Console|older games]] from Nintendo's previous consoles on the Wii U and 3DS's Shops. On February 15th, 2022, Nintendo announced making purchases in the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops would be discontinued on March 27th, 2023, credit cards funds being discontinued on May 23rd, 2022, and adding Nintendo eShop Cards funds being discontinued on August 29th, 2022. | The '''Nintendo eShop''' ({{ja|ニンテンドーeショップ|Nintendō īShoppu}}, ''Nintendo eShop'') is [[Nintendo]]'s proprietary digital storefront, serving as a successor to both the {{s|wikipedia|Wii Shop Channel}} and {{s|wikipedia|DSi Shop}}.
