Nintendo fan refusing to close 3DS & Wii U eShop suffers console casualty NintendoOne dedicated Nintendo fan has managed to stay on the 3DS and Wii U eShop screen several days after the service\u2019s utter demise. On March 27, Nintendo permanently shut down the 3DS and Wii U eShops, meaning players could no longer purchase digital content on those consoles. This especially sent Pokemon trainers into a frenzy to download Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter before the applications disappeared. Despite the eShop\u2019s closure, one user kept the service\u2019s page open following its termination. However, a poor connection signal resulted in their Wii U\u2019s eShop closing. Thunderstorm caused Nintendo fan\u2019s Wii U to lose connection Reddit user Gold_Poptart boasted his achievement on the 3DS subreddit, showing they were able to stay on the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U after they officially shut down. However, a recent thunderstorm caused the Wii U to lose connection, and the eShop disappeared by the time the console reconnected. In the comment section, gamers debated whether this counted as a success. \u201cYou aren\u2019t still connected, though,\u201d X_Parasite wrote. \u201cAnything you do requires their server, so you are pretty much looking at the same unrefreshed screen from two days ago. This is quite literally a \u2018take a picture. It will last longer\u2019 scenario, lol.\u201d Others expressed concern about whether the user\u2019s 3DS may suffer from screen burn. \u201cNah, I just need to push scroll left or right and change the screens around,\u201d Gold_Poptart said. \u201cAs long as I don\u2019t select anything, we\u2019re good.\u201d omgzphil discussed how people are trying to sell consoles like this at a high price. \u201cThe API is dead, so it won\u2019t work,\u201d the user wrote. \u201cAnd when the person buys it, and the Wi-fi connection breaks, the same thing happens.\u201d Amid the shutdown, Nintendo extended the redeemable download code period for 3DS and Wii U games. The announcement came after the eShops closed prematurely. While the vast library of games on the 3DS and Wii U is no longer available, Nintendo fans can still hope for some titles to receive Switch ports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
