Question about 3DS eshop

[EctoBiologist]

there is such a thing like nintendo points or gifting?

 

[Mario4Ever]

Nintendo points, no, but gifting is possible to a limited extent (only digital purchases made using Nintendo's website, and you have to have the download code delivered to you by e-mail)

I'm actually not sure. I would say no, but it's best if someone else could confirm if you can or not.

I have found this picture of the back of an eShop card, which says: "Valid for use in the United States only." So cards from the US do not work in South American countries.

I have heard at some places that those cards also work in Canada, but that contradicts that sentence.

I had checked the back of our cards, and they either say "only work in Canada" or "only work in the US and Canada", depending on the card.

I'm pretty sure it depends on the 3DS and its settings.

Okay, that is handy to know.

Though either way, it won't work in South American countries.

It depends on what country is set on the NNID. It is possible to fool it, it won't look at your IP address, but it can't be changed after first setting it.

We have a convenient list of supported countries here.

I could've swore they said for use in the United States and Canada. Maybe it depends on the card

Could be cards made before NNIDs were added to the 3dS?

 

[Glitchy Bowser Jr.]

I might get one for Christmas so I'll see what it says.

"For use in the EU(well EWC or something, which includes all the countries like Norway and Iceland, except for Switzerland) and Switzerland"

FE move to French Guiana

 

[Lakituthequick]

well EWC or something

I assume Europäischer Wirtschaftsraum, or European Economic Area in English.

iirc im pretty sure to even access the full eshop (i.e. any kind of downloadable software that isnt an update patch) you'll need to set your location to either the united states or canada
after that i guess you'll probably need to get your eshop cards from the country that you set your location to

 

[freakworld]

couldve been that it was that

wait actually nvm i got an eshop card lying around here

"EWR und die Schweiz"

yeah okay
