Nintendo has issued an important notice regarding the closure of the Wii U and 3DS eshop.

As detailed on Twitter, after the Wii U and 3DS eshops close their doors on March 27th 2023, players who have any unused eshop balance will be able to merge this with a Nintendo Account. This feature will be available up until March 2024, and will allow the leftover balance to be used at the Switch eshop.

Reminder: as of 27/03/2023, purchases on #eShop for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS will be discontinued.

Until March 2024, you can merge your unused Nintendo eShop balance to your Nintendo Account, so that it can be used on #NintendoSwitch.

As a reminder, after March 27th 2023, players will no longer be able to make any new purchases on the Wii U and 3DS eshop, and will only be able to redownload previously purchased games and DLC. Since any leftover funds would be unusable otherwise, its probably a good idea to transfer them over to a Nintendo Account while it still possible.
