In case you have not heard of it yet, online eShops for Nintendo's 3DS and Wii U consoles will be discontinued on March 27

Even though some games are already being ported to the Switch, some incredible games will still be unavailable once the eShops are shut down. The following is a list of games that gamers should get as soon as possible before they are gone forever, first shared by Digitaltrends.

Xenoblade Chronicles X

Wii U role-playing game "Xenoblade Chronicles X" takes place on a humans crash site on an alien planet after they escape from Earth. The story has a dark tone and style packed into a massive map. Those who prefer games that take advantage of the Wii U's features and who enjoy unique takes on classic series should pick this one up.

Nintendo Land

Nintendo Land, a Wii U launch game, has long become associated with the platform and is a wonderful tribute to Nintendo's roots. Its diverse minigames all make use of the Wii U GamePad in distinct ways, making it one of the best multiplayer experiences on the Wii U. Gamers should get it before the eShop closes. 

Star Fox Zero

PlatinumGames' Star Fox Zero brought the Star Fox franchise back to consoles. Its one-of-a-kind gameplay relies on the Arwing's cockpit perspective on the GamePad, making it a vital part of Wii U history. Fans of the franchise or the system should not miss this game.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse's controls distinguish it from other Kirby games. With the Wii U GamePad, you direct Kirby by sketching lines for him to roll across. Its stunning Claymation aesthetic make this a fabulous all-ages Wii U game. Gamers should take advantage of this unique Wii U experience before it is lost forever.

Hey! Pikmin

Hey! Pikmin is a platformer adventure game where players explore and collect fuel for Olimar's ship. It is a unique piece of Pikmin history worth checking out before Pikmin 4 releases in July.

Ever Oasis

Ever Oasis creates a distinct and technically stunning 3DS experience by combining Zelda-like third-person exploration and town-management elements. Despite its poor reception, it is a personal favorite for some and should be grabbed before the 3DS eShop closes.

Merge 3DS and Wii U eShop Funds

Nintendo of Europe reminded players last month of the 3DS and Wii U eShop closures expected for March, as well as what they might do to prepare.

Purchases on the Nintendo eShop for the Wii U system and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems will no longer be permitted after March 27.

To merge 3DS and Wii U eShop funds to a Nintendo account, according to Nintendo support, users should link their Nintendo Network ID to their Nintendo Account.

The fund merge service will be offered until March 2024. After that date, players can utilize their balance exclusively to buy content for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.
