The PS3 store is still up although there were some issues with it this past week. Not sure if they've been resolved yet.

You can buy 3DS games on the Nintendo website with your credit card still. If the game doesn't show up on the Canadian site, switch your region to the US region and it will show up and you can buy it then.

You have to link the 3ds to your Nintendo account.
Funds on your account is the only payment option as credit cards no longer work.

I have not powered on my Nintendo Wii U since 2017 (right after the Nintendo Switch launched) and while just unboxing and testing it now, it still works fine.
The Wii U loads outrageously slow compared to the Nintendo Switch.

But who am I to correct the stupidity of others.
Ugh. So sometimes people just like to do nice things for others. It's rare, sure, but it does happen. This was one of them. It wasn't stupidity on his part.

Clock is counting down. Is there any sign of discounts anywhere for eShop cards? I think I saw something about how they were cheap at Costco if you bought a bunch at once.

I doubt there will be any sales on eshop cards.

The regular cheapest option at Costco is in store. A pack of 4 x $25 cards is $89.99.

If you buy the online version from Costco online, it's $93.99 for a $99 card.

Seems like a ymmv. Nintendo can shut the site off anytime in the future and you’ve lost any purchases.
Or not. YMMV.

Nintendo 3DS download code for Flipnote Studio 3D.
I redeemed 200 My Nintendo Platinum Points for it, but it's already on my system.
I'm assuming it will work for anyone (e.g., it's not tied to my device).
Enjoy!
