There is still a year to go until the final closure of the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShop. A decision that Nintendo made last month and that left us quite surprised, although it is not the first time that something like this has happened, given that a few years ago the same thing happened with the Store channel. Wii and nintendo dsi.
This situation meant that no more video games could be purchased on both platforms, but we could download the ones we had already bought at some point. The problem is that, since last March 16, according to Eurogamer, the store of the two consoles has been down and prevents us from accessing our librariesso the community has feared the worst before a definitive closure and without prior notice.
But you can rest easy. After a few days of waiting, Nintendo has finally come out on the scene to comment on what has happened. A representative of the company has stated to the Kotaku portal that It’s just a maintenance shutdown.:
The Wii Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi are currently undergoing maintenance. We offer more information soon.
At least the statement has served to calm the waters a bit in this whole matter by recognizing that it is only a temporary closure. The bad thing is at no time has it been specified when it will be operational again the store, so there is no choice but to be patient until everything returns to normal.
