One of the most important news in recent months was the one that Nintendo gave in relation to the closure of the Wii U and 3DS stores. It is because of this that it is a matter of time before different games that take advantage of each platform will no longer be available. Faced with this situation, Masahiro Sakurai invites you to get the titles while you can.

As you probably know, Nintendo will close the 3DS and Wii U eShop from March 28, 2023. However, this coming August 29, it will no longer be possible to use prepaid cards to add funds to accounts.

And if we add to that that since last May 23 it is not possible to add balance with bank cards, users are practically their last chance to get games that can only be played on these consoles.

Even the one who until a few months ago was the director of Super Smash Bros UltimateMasahiro Sakurai, shared a post in which he stated that he is taking advantage of the last moments to get some games.

Here you can see it:

あと2週間と少しで､3DSとWii Uにポイント追加ができなくなるのですよね…
最後の機会だと思ってeショップを巡回中です｡
タッチパネルのため､他機種に移植されないものも多いだろうしなあ｡https://t.co/xIXtooDGWA

“In a little over 2 weeks, you won’t be able to add points to 3DS and Wii U. I’m browsing their stores and thinking this is my last chance. Because of the touchpad (in each), there are probably a lot of things that won’t be carried over to other hardware.”

As you could see, it seems that Sakurai is one of the millions of users who are concerned about this situation, since as he himself said, there are many games that due to their characteristics may not be compatible with other platforms.

You’d better take this last chance and head over to the Wii U and 3DS eShop for some gems before it’s too late.

Are there any games from these consoles that you want to get? Tell us in the comments.
