Willkürlich: Masahiro Sakurai Reminds Nintendo Fans About 3DS & Wii U eShop Closure Dates

As you probably know by now, Nintendo is discontinuing the 3DS and Wii U eShop ab 28mit Dank an 2023. And later this month on 29August, you’ll no longer be able to add eShop card funds (aka points) to accounts.

This is happening worldwide, and as a result – Nintendo fans around the globe are grabbing certain digital titles before the deadline. Sogar die Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai is making the most of these digital shops while he still can.

Here’s a rough translation of his most recent social media post (via Google translate) – essentially reminding fellow 3DS and Wii U users of the closure:

“In a little over two weeks, you won’t be able to add points to 3DS and Wii U…I’m patrolling the e-shop thinking it’s my last chance. Because of the touch panel, there are probably many things that won’t be ported to other models.”

Unglücklicherweise, he didn’t specify if he made any purchases, but as he noted – a lot of the games using these systems’ touch screens, might not necessarily get ported to other platforms in the future. We can’t imagine he is thrilled about older Super Smash Bros. DLC being retired, entweder.

The 3DS and Wii U eShops aren’t the only things coming to an end – bei Sakurai announcing earlier this month that he was almost out of Super Smash Bros. Ultimative Screenshots.
