Nintendo eShop

The Nintendo eShop has been the built-in storefront for downloading digital games and software since 2011 when it was initially introduced for the Nintendo 3DS. It was then introduced on the Wii U in 2012 and then the Nintendo Switch in 2017.
== Games ==
Each system's storefront has included both digital-only software as well as digital versions of most physically-released games. For the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Virtual Console games are exclusively available through the eShop. The 3DS also includes most of the DSiWare which was previously available through the Nintendo DSi Shop. 
Unfortunately, Nintendo shut down the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops on March 27th, 2023. Because of this, several of the games for those platforms listed below are now completely inaccessible through legal means or will only be available through second-hand physical copies, if applicable. Players who already bought digital games can still redownload them.
