How to Make Nintendo eShop Purchases
If you have a Nintendo 3DS, your gaming experience isn’t limited to the game cards you buy in the store and plug into the back of your system. The Nintendo eShop lets you use your 3DS to buy games and apps online from the downloadable DSiWare library. Keep in mind that the Nintendo 3DS eShop doesn’t utilize Nintendo Points: All prices are listed in real cash denominations (USD).
