Reminder: The Nintendo DSi shop is shutting down
Source
Hm. It seems Nintendo may have started the purge already. Try Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!Zelda was a limited time release, it doesn"t appear in the search...
Nintend oactually replied to some people asking for the game before the Shop closure: https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/4x5hxn/unfortunate_psa_anyone_without_zelda_four_swords/
Uno doesn"t apear when searching it too. I"m doing this in an American console with the USA DSi Shop.
"Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!" is Premium, so it costs 800 DSi Points.

By the way there was another title for free for Japan consoles (it"s avaliable in the 3DS too) so people with a Japan DSi should download that tile (I can"t remeber the name now), I"ll check it in my Japan 3DS later.
Nearly a year ago, Nintendo put out a blog post, mentioning that the DSi shop would be closing early in 2017. Though you can no longer add points to an account, you can still download previously purchased items on your DSi, or buy titles if you have remaining funds, that is, until March 31, 2017. Nintendo claims that "most" DSiware will be available to download unhindered on the 3DS's e-Shop, but in the case of the DSi, you will no longer be allowed to re-download DSiware, even if you purchased it. This is a reminder for those that still use a DSi to grab their purchases before it's too late and make peace with the service being ended.

The 3ds is only 2 years younger than the dsi so maybe the 3ds eshop will be on the chopping block as soon as 2019.Tho the dsi could be good news because now Nintendo will be able to focus on more things it is also bad news because it shows that the switch is overtaking and Nintendo needs to put more time and effort into the Nintendo Switch so to do that they had to get rid of stuff which aren't used as much for example the dsi store. Let's hope things like EShop aren't next
It was just a suggestion.@Pachee as impressive as that is, I think this request would be better suited to a different site with more chaotic rules in comparison to this one which forbids Warez discussion. Just sayin'.
The DSi eshop was some clunky experiment while the Wii U / 3DS eshops are new and tied Nintendo's account system and My Nintendo. The only one in actual danger right now is the Wii eshop.The 3ds is only 2 years younger than the dsi so maybe the 3ds eshop will be on the chopping block as soon as 2019.
Just imagine in this "experiment", they allowed you to buy full titles. Then we could of gotten tons of DS games on our 3DS. Sadly, Nintendo didn't do thatIt was just a suggestion.

But regarding the rest of the services like online games, boards, that video chat and stuff, yea i can see them taking these down as soon as possible due to "lack of use", so enjoy Splatoon, Mario Kart, Smash, Lost Heavers and the rest while you still can before pleaseunderstandandbuyouroverpricedtabletanditsoverpricedports.
Implying they ever cared?now Nintendo will be able to focus on more things
Not at all: the ticket system is still per-console and the "accounts" are nothing more than an alternative identifier (to your console's serial number) if you need to ask Nintendo for a manual license transfer (which they also did on Wii and DSi)!3DS eshops are new and tied Nintendo's account system and My Nintendo
Hard to fit more than one "full game" in 128 MB (unformatted)...Then we could of gotten tons of DS games on our 3DS
Luckily, thanks to titlekey exchanges, titlekey-based downloaders, and pretty accessible CFW and title installers, it's rather easy to backup large parts of the eShop in actually usable formatsmaybe the 3ds eshop will be on the chopping block[...]
I don't understand your point here. Purchases are all tied to user accounts instead of the console now, the ticket system is just Nintendo's old way of DRM (which probably is the same on the Switch), and it doesn't matter anymore because you can unlink online an account from the console anytime you want as long as you still got it, or phone Nintendo if it is lost/broken/stolen.Not at all: the ticket system is still per-console and the "accounts" are nothing more than an alternative identifier (to your console's serial number) if you need to ask Nintendo for a manual license transfer (which they also did on Wii and DSi)!
