Also New this Week
In addition to video games available at retail stores,
Nintendo also offers a variety of content that people can download
directly to their systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to the
Nintendo eShop on the Wii U console and the Nintendo 3DS family of
systems, the Nintendo DSi™ Shop for the Nintendo DSi system and the
Wii™ Shop Channel for the Wii console.
The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a
wide variety of content, including new and classic games, applications
and demos. Users can add money to their account balances by using a
credit card or purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and
entering the code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded
in the Nintendo eShop on either Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of
systems, but can be used in either Nintendo eShop if the systems are
linked to a single Nintendo Network account.
The Wii Shop Channel offers games and applications and uses
Wii Points™, which can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel. The
Nintendo DSi Shop offers games and applications and uses Nintendo DSi
Points™, which can be purchased in the Nintendo DSi Shop.
Remember that Wii U, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL,
Nintendo 2DS and Nintendo DSi feature parental controls that let adults
manage some of the content their children can access. For more
