3DS and Wii U shops closing down

[Dark Jaguar]

Warning!  I reread Nintendo's announcement.  For clarification, the store will prevent purchases outright of any sort in a year's time.  However, the real deadline is four months from now.  That's when you can't use a credit card any more.  Past that, you can still redeem eshop cards, like you can get off Amazon, until August.  The deadline next year is for using your remaining eshop balance.  Now, I never had balance of any sort accrued on my 3DS because I never needed to.  Further, those eshop cards are bound to jump up in price past that date.  Effectively, we have four months.
